English Populations

Decent Essays
Ethnic in the United States has not changed very much in the last few hundred years when the US was just formed. The Populations of English, french, and spanish havn’t changed location. English populations have consolidated to the New England region. The spanish Population is mostly consolidated to the south west. Also the French are located close to the French-Canadian city of Quebec and also in Louisiana. What this connects too is the original ethnic areas of the United States when the country was still just colonies and settlements. Such settlements as Fort Maurepas, a french settlement in louisiana, or Boston Massachusetts, and St. Augustine the oldest settlement in the United States founded by the Spanish.

    In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, two major settlements developed in what would become the United States. In Virginia sat Jamestown, England’s first permanent settlement of the New World; to the north, hundreds of miles away, was Plymouth, Massachusetts, founded there over a decade later. Though both these towns were British in origin, they grew in completely separate ways. Political, economic, and social differences led to two towns, though established by people of the same nationality at similar times, that had little in common.…

    Spencer Dennis Mr. Reagan AP United States History 13 September 2012 Compare and Contrast: New England and Chesapeake Settlements The founding of the economic and social footprints in America began before it was even a country during the period of colonization before 1700. These colonies were split up into two main portions, New England and the Chesapeake Bay areas.

While New England was formed for religious purposes, Chesapeake Bay settlements were formed mainly for economic gains.…

    The intended audience of the article “ The Indians' Old World:Native Americans and the Coming of European”, are the general public and historians because the article shows how a lot of people give more importance of American history after Columbus rather than before Columbus and criticize how historians know much less history prior to arrival of columbus in 1492. For instance, the author Neal Salisbury states that “historians now recognize that Europeans arrived, not in a virgin land, but in one that was teeming with several million people (435)”. 2. The author’s main argument is that there was densely populated society before European arrival, how certain patterns and processes originated before and after contact with the Europeans.…

All of the relationships between these major players and the Native Americans involved religion and ended badly.…

    During the late 19th and 20th centuries the United States experienced an influx of immigrants, who brought with them diverse cultures, religions, and languages. Since Columbus’ voyage in 1492, immigrants sought opportunities. By the end of the 18th century, the thirteen english colonies became the United States, and the country prided itself as a “nation of immigrants.” The first wave of immigration took place during the colonial period, and the second wave took place during the mid 19th century. Because they were usually white, English-speaking protestants from Northern and Western Europe, these immigrants mostly assimilated successfully.…

    The end of the 19th century through the first thirty years of the 20th was a crucial time for the United States. This was the time when the United States grew from a relatively small nation to a significant economic and military power. There were so many shifts in the political and economic climate of the world for people to continue to emphasize race and ethnicity as heavily as we did before. Although race has always been an integral, part of not only American history, but global history the United States became less defined by racial and ethnic boundaries during this time.…

    Many things have changed since the founding of this nation and people seem to forget about their roots and how their ancestors came to arrive here in the first place. There are many reasons as to why one would oppose illegal immigration, hence the word "illegal". Although there are many things that one could do in order to keep our borders free from any "trespassers", I believe that building a literal and physical wall would be meaningless in making our borders safer; that is because there are many other ways for illegal aliens to enter the country and it would only affect immigration flowing from Mexico. The United States has always attracted people from varieties of cultures as well as from other parts of the world, in order to attain a better life for their family and themselves; these people enter the…

    From when the first humans crossed over to North America to the end of the War of 1812, nothing has remained constant in the region that would one day come to be known as the United States of America. What drives these changes varies with human motivation. Some come from the desire for conquest and expansion, but others spawn from religious beliefs. But trade and the desire for wealth has remained a nearly constant factor in most major changes. While imperialism and religion both had large impacts on this region, trade had a stronger and more consistent role in change during this period.…

    The immigrants that entered the United States from the 1870’s through the 1920’s proved that they were different from any immigrants that came before them. This generation of immigrants was the most diverse group of people to enter this country during this period.
