It is nearly impossible to answer the questions which city was the first that embodied American diversity. However we can mention one important influence on the English language. Due to the French colony settled to the U.S., in 1718, commended by Jean Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, there has been an influence on the English language. New Orleans was born and named after the French Duke d’Orlean. Nowadays, New Orleans is one of the last remaining cities whose French origins are still apparent and audible in the spoken language.
Thus was established feudalism in France. Over time, some of the king's vassals would grow so powerful that they often posed a threat to the king. For example, after the Battle of Hastings in 1066, the Duke of Normandy added "King of England" to his titles, becoming both the vassal to (as Duke of Normandy) and the equal of (as king of England) the king of France. Kingdom of France (843–1791) Main articles: Kingdom of France, Capetian dynasty, Valois dynasty, and Bourbon
Main Points The Hurons were very important to the early French settlers. They were not only a great source of fur trade to French, but also French missionaries lived with them and expanded their religious practices to convert the First Nations people to Christianity. They fought alongside the French to protect themselves and French against Iroquois. For economic incentive and settlement, French didn’t bother to learned native people’s culture. The European colonizers were not happy with the Indians’ customs but could not avoid liking their sagacity in economic and political issues The Huron assumed a dominant position in these trading relationships and the Jesuits record that when the Algonquians had dealings with them, they did so in the Huron language since the latter did not bother to learn Algonkia-1As trade with the French increased, the Huron began to appreciate French goods and to want more of them.
Their main reason for that was that the creation of new states would decrease their power in congress. The Louisiana Purchase was not the only time Jefferson adopted the ideas of federalists about loose construction of the constitution. After he was reelected, war soon broke out in Europe between English and French. British needed more manpower and financial aid for the war soon began impressing American sailors and stealing their cargo. This made trade between the United States and Europe unsafe.
The Law: Frederic Bastiat In 1850, a French Legislature who went by the name of Frederic Bastiat wrote a pamphlet called “The Law”. This short persuasive piece is a great depiction on the way most conservatives, libertarians, even tea party members believe government should act towards their citizens to ensure liberty and rights. Throughout the book there were multiple points that Bastiat made that popped out as I was reading that I related directly to our government today. Although this pamphlet was written over a century ago, the key ideas still serve to be true all over the world with all of the corrupted governments in third world countries. Even in “free” countries like the United States there is still corruption, or “plunder” as Bastiat would say, that put limitations on citizen’s natural freedoms.
For the purposes of this paper I shall focus primarily on the aspects of military innovation and revolution while attempting to describe how these innovations relate to the political and social changes which also occurred during the period. However, before we can adequately understand these consequences we must first have an understanding of the conflict and its background. In 1066 William, Duke of Normandy conquered England. Having made himself a king via conquest, William remained a vassal to the French king by way of his holdings in Normandy. This was the starting point of the Anglo-French rivalry, being that it was humiliating for one king to be vassal to another.
The improvements that the French army had made during the reign of Charles V and thus, the subsequent similarities that had arisen between the two countries' armies, disappeared. Though the English were far outnumbered, they wrought a startling defeat over the French. Their defeat caused Charles VI to sign the Treaty of Troyes with the English in 1420. It ensured that upon his death, the rule of France would be handed over to Henry V. The treaty was complicated, however, when both Charles VI and Henry V died two years later. The kingship of both countries was given to Henry V's infant son.
Both groups politically active. -Montfort called a parliament in 1246 including these groups -Addition of ‘the commons’ to parliament, first time ever -although not long lived, representative government in England was born. French Monarchy and the ‘Estates’ -Unlike Henry III, Louis IX was a born reformer, disciplined man, reflected in his empire management -manifested in administering proper justice to all, even presiding over cases from time to time himself -wide range of admin reforms, installed professional judges of ‘Parlement’, a newly specialized wing of the royal courts -created officials whose purpose was travelling the realm to check in on other officials – boosting accountability -Louis made personal appointments of local judges -revised ‘lax and corrupt’ Paris administration, wishing it to become a joint rule of royal officials and its citizens -Philip IV The Fair – challenged papacy over rights and jurisdictions, gathering large support and applause of estates. Rooted out heretic Templars. -Assemblies convened sporadically until revolution of 1789, but representative institutions did not fully integrate into French politics until after the
France wasn’t part of the colonies like America was, America was sick of being treated badly, and unfairly so they decided to fight. But as for France they were having trouble with their government and needed to create a new one witch they did. And to me it seems like America had much more at stake. The American and French Revolution both worked out in favor of France and for America they both got what they wanted France got the government they fought for, and America parted ways with Britain. The two revolutions were a big part in both America’s history, and a big part in Frances history.
When Scandinvians immigrated to the areas around Minnesota in the 18th century, they took on many of the customs of the Puritans who travelled west of the Mississippi River. They did this through traditions such as anglizing their surnames, adopting architectural styles such as the Georgian and Spanish Revival styles and by thoroughly learning the English language. Scandinavians are now one of the most respected ethnic groups in the US, and this shows that a process of osmosis into one's new surroundings is beneficial for a society. The South Asian population in the UK after the break-up of the British Empire has also been hotly debated. After Pakistanis and Bangladeshis immigrated to the UK, they were split on either to retain all of their cultural values or to Westernize themselves into British life.
