Compare And Contrast Essay On Longmeadow Vs Deerfield

Decent Essays
Last weekend, I went home to Longmeadow, Mass. to see some of close friends and talk to my family. Even though I had only been gone for a couple of weeks, it felt great just to reconnect with my friends and family. Other than the freshman gossip and little things going on in Longmeadow, not much has happened according to my friends. After only about 10 hours in Longmeadow, I was already anxious to go back to Deerfield. Even though Longmeadow is a lot more interesting than the pastures and the smell of cow poop, I felt that Deerfield was much better for many, many reasons. Amazingly, I came back to Deerfield in time to catch some of the Deerfield vs. Suffield football game. What a fantastic game, after the game ended dramatically in overtime,

    I enjoyed reading your’ response on this topic; I too answered question 8. Although I think we kind of had different takes on what the pilgrims were really successful at. The pilgrims did learn a lot from the Native Americans but they weren’t really successful as a colony just by mean of farming and working the land. They were only able to produce enough crops to sustain their colony and even still they would lose hundreds of people throughout the life of the colony related to starvation, harsh environment and disease. Eventually, Plymouth colony absorbed into a more successful colony known as Massachusetts bay by the Crown.…

    During the 17th century, after the discovery of North America, Europeans immediately began the journey of colonizing the area. Emerging from these newly established colonies were New England and the Chesapeake. These two areas were built along the Atlantic Coast, housing hundreds of European settlers. However, as the people of New England and the Chesapeake began to construct societies of their own, the differences between the two colonies escalated. The differences between the European societies were due to the contrasting reasons for settlement in the Americas.…

    Introduction On September 12, and October 3, 2016, we stopped at 6 locations north of Northampton in the Deerfield Basin of the Connecticut River Valley (Figure 1). The purpose of these stops is to examine rocks, interpret depositional environments for each rock formation, and discuss the geologic history of the Deerfield Basin based on observations and interpretations. Early Mesozoic lithospheric extension led to the development of a long sequence of rift basins. The Deerfield basin is the erosional remnant of one of these rifts exposed in North America after Pangaea separated during the Carnian (Olsen et al., 1992).…

    A significant reason as to why new England and Chesapeake Bay evolved into two very distinctive societies was their political differences. The settlers of Chesapeake Bay modeled their government after the house of Burgesses, on the house of Parliament in England. The major political development of the Chesapeake Bay colony was the Maryland Act of Religious Synopsis. This allowed any sect of Christianity to practice. On the other hand, New England matured into a more structured government system.…

    Great response. I agree that Jamestown did allowed more chances for individual freedom than the Massachusetts Bay colony, and I believed that the freedom that you are referring to was not like the freedom that we have today in the US. You did mentioned that you wouldn't want to risk your individual freedom to live in a puritan society with a strict structure, but how about your family? Let's say that you actually did earn your freedom after years of harsh working conditions or you caught a disease and die from it. You wouldn't be able to received what you actually earned and your family wouldn't be able to receive a single penny from your earnings either.…

    “ We did not come to fear the future. We came to shape it”(said by Barack Obama). This quote could not fit any better for these two colonies.

    At the start of America, there were many colonies that helped develop what our country is today. The three colonies that I believe were the most valuable are the Chesapeake, the New England, and the Carolina. Between these three colonies, there are similarities and differences in their slavery and economy. For the Chesapeake colony, most of their labor was done by indentured servants, or workers that would work under contract with their owners.…

    For two weeks, I stayed in Charleston, South Carolina. I didn’t know much about the place, except that I referred to it as an army town because that’s where my sister and her husband, who was in the military, stayed. I was reluctant to go, but Charleston had a lot to offer me; a new change of pace and some new scenery was much more satisfying than spending the two weeks stuck in Iowa doing the same old routine. The weather was mystical in Charleston.…
