He and other Congregationalists believed Charles I was more hostile to the Puritans than his father had been. Under his leadership, the Church of England attempted to suppress Puritan practices. Apprehensively, the Congregationalists were convinced that they will no longer be able to practice their religion freely in their homeland. They wanted to remain committed to reforming the Church of England but considered the thought that they can pursue that aim in America. John Winthrop, the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Company, organized the initial migration of the Puritans, transferring the Massachusetts Bay Company headquarters to New England where they settled in the
The Chesapeake and New England Colonies The English colonists who settled in New England and Chesapeake areas created societies with very different characteristics. Despite most of the colonists coming from the same mother country, the settlers traveled to America for separate reasons and thus maintained varying lifestyles. These differences were noticeable in social structure, economic outlook, and religious background. The diversity of the regions was the foundation for the emergence of two unique societies by 1700. The New England area consisted of Massachusetts Bay Colony, Plymouth, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Haven.
As the colonists wanted to develop their own form of government, they also wanted to pursue their own form of religion. Religious freedom was one of the main goals of the settlers coming to the colonies. The Church of England was very controlling when the settlers lived in England, and many colonists wanted to get away from a tightness of the Church of England's grip. Many of them wanted to go to the colonies to worship freely on how they wanted to. Although many different religions were explored in the colonies such as the many Protestant religions, the Anglican dominance stayed amongst in the colonies.
Not only were the New England settlers to love one another, as a brother, but also “rejoice together, mourn together, labor and suffer together, always having before [their] eyes [their] commission and community in the work” (Doc. A). The New England colonies were tied together, and close knit like a family- which was the objective. John porter, a deputy clerk to Edward Thoroughgood suggests that the list of emigrants bound for the New England region consisted mainly of family (Doc. B).
The Legacy of Colonial America Beginning in the early seventeenth century, there were many people that came to the Americas, whether it be for freedom of religious practice or the thought of striking wealth. The colonists in Jamestown, Plymouth, and Massachusetts Bay influenced and continue to influence our nation today due to the events and actions that they participated in during the early 1600s. America’s roots as one nation were founded on the beliefs of the early settlers in the colonies. In both the United States government and practice of law, these values show how not only the colonists influenced the early world, but how it has for better or worse changed how we as one nation operate today. One colonial ideal that is still present in today’s nation is the idea of helping others in need.
However, the citizens wanted to make their own rules to follow, sensible and understandable rules. Further on Paine explains “the sun will never shine on a cause of greater worth?” I think that Paine is saying that it is such an issue that we should look to reform it in any way so that it is more fair to all citizens. The struggle of having a King or a Monarchy for the people at that time was difficult. The community wanted a more fair and equal government, while the king was not giving that to them. Let’s take for instance when Paine refers to the past writings of another author, Mr. Pelham “they will last my time.” The name of ancestors will be remembered for their great deeds by future generations with destinies of their own.
Since many men died at a young age, women had the right to inherit their husband’s wealth and estate. This set the Chesapeake apart from the New England colonies. The Chesapeake people were saved from failure by Captain John Smith with his rule of “He who shall not work shall not eat.” The New England area was founded by Pilgrims, or Separatists. The Pilgrims made the voyage across the Atlantic in 1620 for more religious reasons. They wanted a place where they would be free to worship their own religion and could live and die as good people.
Stolypin’s policy was aimed at maintaining the peace among Russian empire and eventually strengthening Russia’s economic situation. He truly believed that land reform was necessary in Russia and that it would decrease all the unrests and riots among the peasantry and workers. In his opinion peasants were the most loyal class to Tsar. However, on the other hand they were very ineffective and unproductive. He also believed that improving their life conditions would be beneficial to the economic situation in whole Russia.
In the 1600s, the New England colonies and the Chesapeake Bay region colonies were settled, both by the English. Over time, in the 1700s, both of these colonies had made their own out of what they had to live by. They both had different things to think and worry about even though they were settled by the same country; therefore the Chesapeake Bay region colonies and the New England colonies had a lot of differences, but some similarities also. The New England colonies and the Chesapeake Bay region colonies settled for two different reasons. The New England’s population settles for freedom from religious prosecution.
Barack Obama describes the promise from line 17-36. In those lines, he says that everyone has the freedom to make their own lives as they will, but they also have the obligation to treat each other with dignity and respect. He says that the market should reward drive and innovation, and generate growth, but the business have a responsibility to create American jobs, look after the American workers and play by the rule of the road. He says that the government can’t solve every problem, but it should protect them from harm and provide every child a decent education; keep their water clean and their toys safe; invest in new schools, new roads, science and technology. “That’s the American dream – the idea that we are responsible for ourselves, but that we also rise or fall as one nation; the fundamental belief that I am my brother’s keeper; I am my sister’s keeper”.
