Father became ill from “camp fever”. He was sick for about two weeks and then one night he was steering the wagon and he just dropped. We all knew what this meant he looked pasty white and he wasn’t breathing. I couldn’t look. I was terrified.
And they are starving.” (pg.63) The colonies were forced to cannibalism. “One provident man chops up his wife and salts down the pieces. Others dig up graves to eat the corpses.” (pg.63) there was absolutely no means of food for the colonies this winter. They surly had no common sense; I mean really, how do you let almost your entire civilization die off? Could they not have planted their own food or hunted some game?
Chesapeake vs. New England The inhabitants of the Chesapeake and New England both settled in those regions for different reasons; New England settlers came for an escape from The Church of England to practice their own Puritan beliefs, and the Chesapeake settlers came for the quest of wealth. Since both groups of people were searching for different things in the New World, both regions developed differently. John Winthrop was the man leading the Puritans to New England, to create a “city on a hill,” stated in Document A, written even before arrival to the New World. Winthrop emphasizes the “unity” in his piece, clearly stating that the arrival of these people are not for physical gain, but instead spiritual. The goal of the new town was that of creating almost a model society, working together as one.
The storms and floods had taken all the good soil in the 1930s. People survived off of beans, rice, corn, and milk. Many slaughtered the cattle for meat because there was no market. All around the world people were living in horrible living conditions and there were not many jobs for those in need. Over 25% of people were unemployed and houses were being foreclosed
The government of England wanted the people who lived in Virginia to send back valuable goods, and produce their own food. However, the first expedition in 1607 was comprised of adventurers and traders, ill fitted for settlement life. To boost income, and increase the number of people living in Virginia, the English government set up a headright system, which gave every man who moved to Virginia free land. England also reworked the government of Virginia from a military-style regime, to a government run by local leaders. These changes caused 4,500 people to move to Virginia.
Dear, Home.... I understand majority of what was going on back home and I’m proud to declare to you all, that I see a change. Ben Franklin’s enlightenment attacked the thoughts of Calvinist theology and the idea of our free will. He saw that it wasn’t right for men, women and children to be products of slavery. Even though we bought our way out it was only a matter of time before we were forced to be indentured servants of some sort.
Many of the unhealthy remained in bare wooden bunks just laying in their own filth the entire voyage because they were too sick to move or get up. A big problem was the lack of good drinking water because sometimes the water was stored in leaky old wooden casks, or in casks that previously stored wine, vinegar, or chemicals which contaminated the water and caused dysentery. The ship I was on ran out of water long before we reached America, making life miserable for fevered passenger’s that were suffering from burning thirsts. When I first came to America it was not what I expected. The ship I was on came to a stop in Boston, Massachusetts, an Anglo-Saxon city with a population of 115,000.
He is always looking back to the World War II, where he was before with his uncle Rocky. He is a very bad shape mentally after the war and he is trying to find a way to heal himself. But the memories overtake him and cause him distress. He lives on a farm alone and only few of his animals are alive because a terrible drought has come over the land. What is important?
We have been travelling in this crowded cattle wagon for two days now. The thirst and the heat were become intolerable. Lying down is not an option, nor is sitting down. My legs have lost all feeling and they no longer feel attached to my body. There has been little food to go around for the eighty people who are piled in the wagon, meaning that we can never satisfy our hunger.
Livingstone fell sick for six years and lost contact with many people. His sickness made him confused and forgetful, near the end of his life, even though he wanted to complete all of his missions in Africa. He died from internal bleeding caused by an infection in the intestines [dysentery] and the disease called malaria, while kneeling by his bed. David married a woman named Mary, who was the daughter of a man named Robert Moffat, a doctor at the college David was attending, Anderson’s College in Glasgow, Scotland. David and Mary had four children, but had to keep relocating because of droughts and his desire to do God’s will, spread
