    In John Demos’ book A Little Commonwealth: Family Life in Plymouth Colony, the author breaks down the long standing conceptions of life in Plymouth Colony that it was a place filled with religious fanaticism and strict social order. As Demos argues, this was not entirely the case. Through his interpretations of surviving colonial records, Demos shows that the colonists were faced with common issues such as: adultery, divorce, murder and even domestic abuse. They also exhibited acts of selflessness such as caring for the destitute and the orphaned. Demos conveys these humanistic traits via a careful view, largely wills, courts cases, and other such legal documents.…

    ESSAY QUESTON #1 Geography played an important role in developing the British colonies in North America, but it was not the primary reason. Religion was definitely the most significant factor in characterizing the British colonies. The differences in religion of New England, the Chesapeake, and the Southern colonies had a much greater effect than those in geography and politics. Geography did help create distinctions amongst the three areas in the British colonies, New England, the Chesapeake, and the Southern colonies. In New England, the settlers experienced long, harsh winters, resulting in short growing seasons, making it an undesirable region for agriculture.…

    The difference between vassal and lord shows the ranking of power, and the foundation for feudal relationships of medieval history. Idealised views of feudalism represent honorable agreements between a lord and his vassal or vassals in which they both offered their loyalties to one another in exchange for land and services that were usually military in nature. Instead the Agreement between Count William V of Aquitaine and Hugh IV of Lusignan translated by Paul Hyams of Cornell University, demonstrates the tumultuous relationships between vassal and lord for the struggle of having and maintain power and authority. This literary account shows the conflict that formed between Hugh and William. The text depicts the kinds of relationships that had…

    Throughout the 1600’s and some of the 1700’s, England practiced a policy of salutary neglect toward its colonies in the new world. The colonist generally had an amiable relationship with the Mother country; they enjoyed the benefits of the connection because it offered a trading partner and protection. The French and Indian War 1753-1763, was called the 7 years war in Europe. It started because of the competition between the French and British for land in the Ohio Valley. Technically the land was the Native Americans; they fought the attempts of settling from both sides.…

    Because colonists in New England understood the importance of centering their lives around the church, they were willing to endure long and sometimes unpleasant days in what they called the meeting house. Everyone was required to attend church there on Sunday. The meeting house wasn’t terribly fancy. Instead of long rows of chairs, there were cold, hard, and uncomfortable benches. There was a watchman to keep everyone, who broke the rules, in line.…

    The English colonies were made up of families that desired freedom of religion and people who were meant to increase profit for England; while the French and Spanish colonies were predominantly made up of males who were in search of God, glory, and gold. It all started with Christopher Columbus coming over to the Americas (though he thought he was in India), in 1492. During this time period many explorers were in search for the quickest route to Asia/ India; Columbus’ solution was to go west, since at this time they were not aware of the land that laid there. This then lead to enslavement and population decrease of the Natives (called Indians by our intellect Columbus), since Columbus and his crew saw themselves as superior to the Natives. They forced religion upon the Natives and used different…
