However, most people looked badly upon religions outside of their own. One of the most close-minded settlements in America was New England, this was both a good and a bad thing as it brought the settlers closer together, but also pushed outsiders away. The Middle Colonies accepted many more churches, as there was a greater amount of ethnic and religious diversity. This shows the importance of religion by highlighting how it brought people with common religions together to form colonies and gave incentive to people who lived in England to immigrate to America for more religious freedom than they previously had. Colonists were provided with even more reason to practice their religion and continue their work in America for a better, more liberated life.
If they did not, God would turn from them and they would have an example made of them. Religion was to also be kept in mind during the setting of wages and price regulations (doc. E). Religion was important in the Chesapeake, as well, but not as important as it was in the New England colonies. While New England was Puritan, the Chesapeake colonies were primarily Anglican.
These two regions were also very different. Their cultures and behaviors made the two areas unique and distinctive. The New England region encompassed Massachusetts, Plymouth, Connecticut, New Haven(later became a section of Connecticut), and Rhode Island. New England was founded and built on a more religious standpoint. While the Chesapeake people longed for riches, the New Englanders sought religious freedom, particularly from the Church of England.
The situation was unavoidable, and destined to happen eventually; however, Bacon’s Rebellion may be attributed to a multitude of causes, all of which lead to strife in the Virginia Colony. In addition, there were a large number of issues within the colony. During this time, the economy was a tremendous concern. Another overriding concern was the tobacco, which was the main agricultural crop, and prices declined as well as increased competition between the colonies. Commercial competition grew between Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas, as well as the English market, which became increasingly restricted.
Never before had the conditions that tempered the colonists been seen. The unique blend of diverse environmental factors and peoples caused the development of a variety of cultures that were mostly English, part European, and altogether original. The unique conditions, both cultural and environmental, of each colony produced a unique culture for that colony. And while each colony had it's share of groups, the mix of people and their cultures in each colony was not evenly distributed. In some colonies there was a high mix of people, while in others one group dominated.
“The signers were members of religious denominations at a rate that was significantly higher than average for the American Colonies during the late 1700s”, according to an article called “Religion of the Founding Fathers, (2005). The founding fathers were compelled to fight for their independence against Great Britain for a few different reasons. These reasons ranged from the economic interest of both parties to just simple political differences, and a fair amount of mutual misunderstandings. Many of the founders migrated from England where they experience persecution for exercising their faith. Ultimately, it all boiled down to the lack of
Their nomadic lifestyle, families, and wealth made them appear as respectable people. Primarily because the rich culture was described in such a positive manner, Europeans developed a new interest in the people east of them. The results of this include the spread of the compass, papermaking, and printing to Europe which had not occurred before Polo’s book. An instigator¬¬¬ of communication between two completely separate places, Marco Polo made Yuan China and Mongol
Education in America in 1800’s. Education was always important to Americans. Overall America is the country that prospers from of intellectual achievements each citizen have had achieved. However, our country wouldn’t stand so high on pedestal if it wasn’t for our founding fathers that have established educational system and built world known universities. Unfortunately, many boarding school or college throughout Europe and America required high tuitions and were mainly for males that came from aristocratic families.
Ideologically, Britian and the Americans had different views on everything. From their government to their religion. King James liked to think he ran the English churches which the English did not like. There were little things like economical views that were causing the American colonies to separate from the British. John Hughes and Benjamin Franklin came up with the Stamp Act which many people did not like.
Second the Chesapeake region did bring religion with them; however that was second on their list. The Chesapeake colony largely consisted of Anglicans and English Catholics. (Anglicans are a Protestant religion) The Chesapeake people had religious tolerance still there were tensions in order to have other religious dominations within the same colony. Protestants outnumbered the English Catholics; so the fights for religious dominance were mainly between Catholics and Protestants. New England was Puritan Separatists’.
