Pros And Cons Of Highspring

Improved Essays
Highspring is the best colony of the Americas. Compared to her sister colonies, Highspring easily outshine them through productivity, economy, and research! Our closest sister colony in the Middle Colonies region, Pennsylvania, is one of the oldest colonies in the New World. Founded in 1682 by William Penn, she is governed as a proprietary colony. Here, you can see the first discrepancy between our paths, Highspring is ruled as a Royal Colony, forever loyal to His Majesty! Pennsylvania can be praised upon for her known freedom of religion. The original founders, Quakers, did not necessarily dominate every region. Instead, it was a mix of Lutherans, Jews, Quakers, and other religious groups. Our colony share a similar variety of religion, as we believe it is incorrect to look down upon others. As long they do not cause any harm to anyone else, Highspring shall allow it. Pennsylvania is also known for its progressive stance on education, by establishing law to educate her children. We decided to take it a even higher step. Both boys and girls were given the opportunity to enroll in higher education. Boys at a young age are taught to read and write, while girls are also taught basic …show more content…
Pennsylvania lacked an equal opportunity of education. Especially boys of higher social classes usually study classical languages, history and literature, mathematics, and natural science. Instead, our colony opens up the higher studies for all. We believe this could make our science output unmatched by all the colonies; perhaps even some Old World countries! Also, Pennsylvania’s Assemblies were often in conflict of each other, and was also dominated by Quakers. Their governors were biased and usually helped the prerogatives, which is unfair and wrong. In Highspring, the people of many different kinds of religions and cultures gather, so none have a special privilege. This makes our colony fair for all, increasing the lifestyles for

    As previously stated Pennsylvania was founded by a man named William Penn. Penn was a quaker man and believed some of the thoughts of the Puritan church to be too harsh. He wanted religious freedom for anyone and everyone and a fair government system for all; which is what led Pennsylvania to being such a diverse population. That mixed with the booming agricultural business and busy trade city, Philadelphia, led it to be a great colony and an even better place to settle!…

    Townshend shows how William Penn and the settlers were able to keep a good relationship with the Natives and Swedes. In this relationship, the settlers were able to purchase the necessary provisions to survive. Many colonies did not have this pleasure and fought with the Natives, as in the King Phillip's War in Massachusetts. The reason why they treated the Natives and Swedes with respect was mainly the settlers' religion. The Quakers did not believe in fighting and were a loving and caring people.…

    1.Since the reading did not clearly state when Penn was alive I looked it up and he lived from 1644-1718. So, he was not alive in 1776, although on the first page it was stated that the government would be modeled by the way William Penn ran it. The kind of leader he was must have influenced others after his death. During the time of the revolution no one knew of Penn and never gave him a chance to show off his leadership skills. The American radicals wanted more order to run their land and did not feel like Penn could construct such a machine-like operation.…

    Ronald Regan once said, “Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.” Religious tolerance has been an important aspect since the beginning of U.S History. Religious tolerance is what makes the United States successful concerning human rights. The importance of Rhode Island will be shown through three different resources: Colonial America, Give me Liberty, and The American Colonies. The colony of Rhode Island is important to U.S History since it was the first colony to introduce the concept of religious tolerance, which will be shown by the way they implemented religious toleration in its political, religious, and economic activity.…

    Beginning in the early 17th Century, English settlers scattered themselves along the eastern coast forming some of the first clearly defined regions of the United States. While both the New England colonies and the Chesapeake colonies had deep-seated aversion for the natives, they differed in their religious homogeneity and economic policies. The New England colonies were strictly Puritan whereas the Chesapeake colonies followed no universal religion; also, while the New England colonies relied on fishing, shipbuilding, and farming, the Chesapeake colonies relied on their strong tobacco based economy. Although both regions were eventually conquered by the British and forced to merge as one nation, the New England colonies and the Chesapeake…

    Values of early colonists didn’t approve of recreational or pleasurable events. For example, in early New England, recreational activities as well as sports were banned. One puritan principle that explains the banning was that they didn’t have time to partake in these activities due to their continued growth of improving their morals through spiritual espionage. Furthermore, Learning and working were placed in much higher regard than anything involving pleasure. There was no time in early Pennsylvania for such recreational activities.…

    During 1700s America, most colonists lived in rural farming villages on their own property. In the North, there was a focus on family farms whereas in the south, there were many large plantations with less of a focus on the family aspect and a much heavier use of slavery. The middle colonies, like Virginia for example, were sort of a middle ground where these two traditions mixed and new ones were introduced. During this time period, it is fascinating to contrast these regions. Without carefully examining similarities, like the way they are run governmentally, and the differences, like geography, it would be nearly impossible to understand the lives that these colonists led.…
