The Revolution transformed religion in many ways. To start, the Revolution gave great freedom in opinion not just religiously but also gave many people the right to vote, even though it did not give all Americans “equal liberty” it would still be a break through in going the correct direction of American freedom. The theory of religious liberty was not the cause of freedom of worship it actually arose from religious pluralism. Some religions gave people ways to break laws, due to the law being against a religious belief. However, before the revolution many different religions were still being discriminated against with voting and public funds, some people in Massachusetts were even jailed for refusing to pay taxes to support their local ministers.
Contrary to popular belief, the American Revolution did not bring about change, because the rights, class structure and government remained the status quo in the colonies. For the most part, the rights of the colonists did undergo a transformation because of the Revolutionary War. It is a widely held belief that the war was declared in defense of the natural rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Unfortunately, the war did little in protecting these rights. After the war, there was still no liberty for blacks; in fact, the colonists disliked the idea of granting freedom to Blacks that they refused their offer to fight on the side of the patriots.
Socially the war was not revolutionary because, there was still that one race that was not treated like they belonged and felt like they were taking up space. Politically the war was not revolutionary because, the imprisoned slaves were not allowed to be apart of the Declaration of Independence. Therefore Revolution was both revolutionary and not revolutionary because, of the three stated topics above. The American Revolution was the most important event in the history of the world since the birth of Christ,-stated by Richard Price. The Revolution was revolutionary based on economic factors because, as apart of the empire the colonies were protected from foreign invasion by the British military.
The New England colonies, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland were conceived and established as "holy experiments" by the puritans. This group of English Protestants, whose only wish was to "purify" the Church of England, began to receive savage punishment from England for their religious beliefs. In turn, driven by religion, thousands of the religious zealots immigrated to New England to worship God in the way that they saw fit. However, although the Puritans did leave England, running from there own religious persecution, once they had established themselves they self-righteously employed the
Another difference was the difference between who did the work in developing the colony. The colonies differing views on religion also helped shape the way each colony developed economically. The Virginia and Massachusetts Companies both realized that they would need to have a strong economic system, but their views on religion and profit had too many differences and resulted in different systems. The Puritans did not feel the need for “excessive profits” and lived by the belief of self control. The use of company labor and overpricing caused a lot of problems with Virginians.
Most of the people in the New England Colonies went to school and would have a better education than the others. The north had the least amount of slaves but slavery was still existent. The main function of New England towns was to support the religion of the Puritans. The Puritan's did not tolerate other religions and was very strict about it. The Southern Colonies were South Carolina, North Carolina, Maryland, Georgia, and Virginia.
So, they immigrated to America to follow their ideals, which are expressed in Document A. They also tried to set up a democracy to show that religion was more important than money, as seen in Documents D and E. The colonists that settled in the Chesapeake region, however, were not as religious and lacked a similar aim. Document C describes the settlers of Virginia as older single men and a few older women. Based on this information, it can be concluded that the Virginian colonists were not planning on staying long in the New World and they were not there to create a democracy. Their main purpose was to dig gold, wash gold, refine gold, load gold, and they would treat the other colonials as slaves to get it (document F).
Amish and American The Amish are a group of people with over 200,000 members who are American Protestants. They originated from European Anabaptists and started as a reform group led by Jacob Amman. The Amish are substantially different than the American in several significant respects. Americans are outgoing, friendly people whom are freedom loving people and believe that working hard will earn what is due to them. The Amish are very isolated and do not mix well with outsiders; they also do not approve of enjoying the comforts led by the movement of technology and human innovation.
Such as the Freedom of Speech, and Emancipation, the 1st and the 17th amendments are the best laws that the United States have ever come up with. The fact that people used to, not be able to practice their Religion or write about what they want to in the city newspaper, or it is illegal are mind boggling concepts. Also something that changed the United States even more is the 17th amendment, Emancipation, meaning that slavery is abolished. When Abraham Lincoln pronounced the Emancipation Proclamation, when he stated that slavery was not a part of the everyday part of the United States, the slave owners did not know what to do with the work that needed to be done on their farms. They had been getting free labor for their whole life.
The Christian Faith * In analyzing the role of Christianity in the southern colonies, it is important to remember that many early Americans were not active communicants * The proportion of church members to residents was less than 1:15 * In this region, the tone of religious belief and practice was quite different from that in Puritan New England or Quaker Penn * The Church of England (Anglicanism) predominated in the south, and it proved especially popular among the large landowners * As in England, colonial Anglicans were more conservative, worldly, and formal in their forms of worship that their Puritan, Quaker, of Baptist counterparts * Anglicans tended to stress collective rituals over personal religious experience. * Through most of the 17th century the Church of England was established (tax-supported) only in Virginia and Maryland, but the early 18th century it had become the established church throughout the South K. The Church of England in America * In the New World, the Anglican church evolved into something quite unlike the state church of
