In a time when England was dramatically changing, certain types of groups were being oppressed, values as well as morals were shifting, and the city was becoming crowded. Desperate to find a solution, England decided to send its people into the “new world”, which would later become known as America. Most of these people who came to America were poor and on their own. Since most individuals traveled alone, this created a skewed sex ratio; America was dominated and populated with males. In response to that, England began sending over “tobacco brides”.
The larger and more productive the population of a colony was, then the colonie was better of socially. In the New England colonies, women were constantly giving birth to children, which resulted in large families. The mothers of these families would spend most of their time in the house taking care of their house and children, which fit the belief of the Puritans that said that women should have little or no say outside of their household. Since there were large families, this affected the overall population size of the New England colonies. The population of the South also began to grow during this time because of slaves.
They witnessed their loved ones die from disease and the Spanish religious and political edicts encompassed their lives and led to generations of suffering and renewal into the onslaught of forced, oncoming European cultural assimilation.

The changes in literacy levels in France affected mostly the middle class and women and were heavily debated amongst the different parts of French society. The largest factor in the fight for an education amongst the poor was having the funding to receive one, where as the rich were encouraged if not expected to receive one. THESIS = 2: Literacy spread through France quickly between 1686 and 1690 because of a determined group of clergymen and commoners who demanded educational rights. They were not stopped by their opponents in the aristocracy and the wealthy intellectual who wanted to preserve their power. First of all, growth in literacy levels was most prevalent amongst the rural northerners as Francois Furet (Doc) and Jacques Ozouf (Doc) point out GROUP.
Because women could give birth, their roles were valuable than men in some societies. On the basis of this assumption, it is possible that matriarchy existed and women ruled meaning men have not always been leaders. Based on evidence from archaeologist, the beginning of civilization was female-centered with females figures known as Earth Mother or the Mother Goddess. Great leaders such as Hatshepsut and Cleopatra are rooted in many minds to be the first female leaders of great societies and examples of strong independent women. They conquered great societal barriers in order to achieve their goals.
Discuss the European motives for expansion and colonization in the New World. There were several reasons that Europeans migrated to the New World. Some of the reasons were, the population growth, the thought of lucrative financial opportunities, and religious difference to name a few. In England there were several epidemics that threatened the life of the population like the Black Death and the bubonic plaque (Brinkley, 2012). In my opinion, this caused families to produce more kids than usual to account for the ones that would become victim to illness.

This ran alongside the blossoming industrialisation of Britain, areas such as Stockport and Cheshire undergoing radical change were often the strongest supports of Chartism. Most notably 400,000 weavers were laid off, so with so many people a desire for change is no doubt to be incredibly strong, Chartism encompassed this passion into an actual collection, albeit a dispersed one. Laughing in the face of Liverpool’s attempt to stop them and 1815 and 1821, the rebels were still running riot through the streets.

Oprah brings her heart and soul into everything she is doing. Oprah is always willing to try new things and be creative. Oprah preaches self-empowerment but she also exemplifies and radiates it herself. It was her self-empowering attitude that made her emerge from a frequently abusive and bleak looking upbringing to become one of the most influential people in the world. She developed such a strong personality that she was able to climb the rungs of broadcasting very quickly, even though very few African American women up to that time had become a major factor in the media.
