As the New World became more populated, America split into three regions. Two of which were New England and Chesapeake, both of which were settled largely by English people. By 1700 these two regions had become two distinct societies. New England and Chesapeake both had motivation for their colony’s establishment, as well as different social, religious, and economic aspects. New England consisted of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Maine up to this period of time.
1993 DBQ After England established claims to the American lands, the vast tracts of land attracted immigration for various reasons during the 17th century. The significant settlements developed in the New England region in the north and the Chesapeake region towards the south. New England was primarily developed by the Puritans, who immigrated during the Great (Puritan) Migration between 1630s and 1640s to escape the religious persecution in Anglican England. Puritans led their lives based on strong beliefs, such as predestination – belief that one being saved was already determined by God. Unlike New England, the Chesapeake region developed a society that was not primarily dependent on religion; most of these people came to America to seek economic prosperity.
These were signed to enter the new colonies. You are simply paraphrasing here; what point are you trying to make about New England society? Make the point and then use the documents to back it up. A minister, Joseph Hull, also came with other emigrants bound for New England (doc. B), along with his many children.
During the late 16th century and into the 17th century, European nations rapidly colonized the newly discovered Americas. Two of the regions included the Chesapeake and the New England areas which both had very separate and unique identities. Both of these settlements were populated by the English and brought flocks of people from England seeking a better life while retaining the English culture. In addition, both colonies faced conflict with the Native Americans in the area while establishing their settlements. New England was involved in the Pequot War while the settlers of Chesapeake had conflicts with the Powhatan Confederacy.
They wanted to establish the New World as a region free of sin. From 1630 to 1640, more than 20,000 colonists boarded the Arabella with their families and made their way to the New World from England. This became known as the Great Migration. With the colonization of the Massachusetts Bay area, Winthrop’s a city upon a hill concept began to come
There were a lot a deaths and diseases that spread among the neighboring Indian tribes that sent a lot of them to an early grave including Captain Gosnold the Projector of the Enterprise. Planter John Rolfe and Captain John Smith mapped the area and intimidated Indians getting food that kept settlers from starving. This ended the mad scramble for gold as well as forced the men to build defenses and plant Indian corn. The economy of the Virginia Colony depended on farming as the main source of money. Due to the climate the colony wasn’t able to produce other crops necessary for survival.
In 1605-1612, the colonists experienced the longest drought (Doc B). Because of the lack of rain, they weren’t able to grow crops (Doc B). The seasons also caused diseases to spread (Doc E). The occupations of the colonists contributed to the colonist dying. They brought gentlemen, rich men that didn’t work with their hands, and they wanted other people to build their houses and hunt for their food (Doc C).
Adversity such as starvation, disease, and conflicts with the Indians awaited them. When the colonists first arrived, their food supply ran out, and they believed that the Indians would help them. However, they did not because they were they were angered by the actions of Francis West’s actions while he was trying to trade corn with the Patawomeke Indians. (Document D) The colonists soon realized that they would need to grow their own crops in order to endure; however, they were soon faced with what the settlers called “starving time.” During the winter of 1609 through 1610, Jamestown was faced with a drought. (Document B) Without water, the crops were unable to grow which led to hunger, starvation, and death.
The South could win by literally just outlasting the North’s advantages. Even though the North had soldiers in greater numbers, they had to leave more soldiers behind to secure their already owned land. Which became a weakness for them. The South thought slavery would be good for them. While the white men were fighting, the slaves had to continue laboring on farms or supporting the South’s war efforts.
Landlords often borrowed large sums of money and, when serfs died or demanded higher wages, landlords could not raise money to repay creditors. If the landlord succumbed to the plague, there was no way for creditors to recover lost money. Widespread labor shortages led to a rise in labor prices. This occurred in all aspects of the economy but was especially evident in the agricultural sector. Serfs who for centuries had worked the land for little or not pay, suddenly began to demand higher wages and, increasingly, revolted against a nobility that sought to work them for lower wages of the past.
