THE DEVIL IN SALEM VILLAGE In 1630, the Puritans founded the Massachusetts Bay colony to create a model Christian commonwealth for others to emulate. However, fifty years later the Puritan movement was dangerously in jeopardy of losing its following. Many of the youth had become alienated from their parents’ lifestyles and beliefs and had become “increasingly preoccupied with material pleasures and comfort.” (Morgan, 45) The Puritans also lost the royal charter to govern their colony freely from English rule, virtually ending their fifty-five year independence. Madness soon began, with King James II attempting to regain rule of the colony, conspiracies of witchcraft being thrown around in Boston and Salem, and the Puritans realization of murdering dozens of innocent civilians. During the year of 1685, times grew increasingly tough for the Massachusetts citizens.
Eventually, under the leadership of ambitious chieftains or princes they seized control of the delta city of Avaris and turned into their stronghold. The Egyptians referred to these people as hikau-khoswet (rulers of foreign lands) and this is where the name Hyksos originated. For around 45 years they gained control over lower Egypt and in c. 1640, a Hyksos chieftain named Salatis forced the Egyptian ruler out of Memphis. For about 100 years, two dynasties of these foreign kings ( fifteenth and sixteenth) controlled Egypt as far south as Cusae. The seventeenth dynasty of Egyptians princes from Thebes continued to rule in semi-independence but paid allegiance and tribute to the Hyksos kings in the north.
Zinn refers to the 1760’s and the post–French and Indian War period as a time in which colonial social and political elites turned their “rebellious energy” against England. He stated that this was “not a conscience conspiracy, but an accumulation of tactical responses”. List and explain three such “tactical responses” in the American colonies after the French and Indian War. 3. What does Gary Nash’s study of city tax lists reveal about the changing nature of wealth in the colonies by the 1770’s?
Arabic culture help make the empire have dominion over its neighbors. Another fact that made Ghana have power was their trade in goods, which included copper and iron technology. Towards 1000 C.E. Muslims attacked Ghana, and their resources started to decrease. The problem that happened was with the decrease in resources the Ghana Empire just suffered, which resulted with the down fall in 1203 where Kumbi took over.
The American Revolution took place during 1775 and lasted until 1783. The American Revolution is also known as the American Revolutionary War and the U.S. War of Independence. John Locke is a very important person that stands out in this Revolution. He fought for the contractual theory of government. Conflicts of this time arose from growing tensions between residents of Great Britain's 13 North American colonies and the colonial government, which represented the British crown.
The Portuguese were determined to control the East-West trade; so Malacca still retained its importance as a trade center until 1641 when the Portuguese surrendered Malacca to the Dutch. The Dutch who had a stronger foothold over the Indonesia archipelago swung the trade center over to Sumatra. In the meantime, Malacca's trade also declined due to the silting of its port. In 1795 Melaka (Malacca) was given to the British to prevent it form falling to the hands of the French, where the Netherlands was captured during the French Revolution. By the time British took over in 1824, the focus of the trade has shifted from Malacca to Singapore and Penang.
Mecca is located in what is now present day Saudi Arabia, about half way down the Western side of the Arabian Peninsula. The Kaaba, the black Islamic stone shrine established by Abraham and Ishmael, is located there. Mecca is deeply rooted in tradition, and the stones and Kaaba were erected or associated with Holy Ground, where individuals had a dramatic experience with God or Allah as he is called in Islam. During the time of Mohammed, Mecca had became a easy stopping place for the caravans and merchants along the spice trade which brought new wealth, foreign ideals and social values to Mecca. Being the stopping point brought to Mecca a host of undesirables such as; merchants, prostitutes swindlers and gamblers, whose social values would clash with that of the Arab Bedouin, who clung to traditional ideologies (Grand Canyon University, 2010, p. 1-2, para.
The Columbus’ voyage in 1492 convinced Spain that it could dominate the New World. The first Spanish explorers, such as Cortes and Balboa, were satisfied with their findings in Central America. However, Ponce de Leon, the governor of Puerto Rico, set his sights on expanding the new Spanish empire to northern America. He sailed to Florida, but was killed by natives in 1521. After several other failed Spanish attempts to colonize North America, Hernan de Soto finally arrived in 1539 with a
Slavery in the colonies In the early 1600s, England gained territory on the continent of North American. The first obstacle they had to endure was to establish and keep up new settlements with new people who could make their own money. The first settlement was located at Jamestown in Virginia in the year 1607. Soon there was many other colonies popping up along the coast but their problem was still commerce and their economy. They had to find a solution to their lack of economy stimulation.
