    King Philips War was the last Native American attempt to push off the invading whites from America. Their efforts were left in vain; however, it did inflate the most destruction on a white population in American history. The Native Americans problems and reasons for getting rid of the colonists were based from the lack of land, since more settlers kept pouring into their region, and competition for resources needed for survival. Nevertheless, the biggest problem, and what I believe became the ultimate reason for the war, was the Puritans earnest attempt to convert Native Americans into Christianity. New England established 14 praying towns where Native Americans could live, but under certain stipulations, they had to become essentially English.…

    Cornelia Hughes Dayton utilizes, as Hemphill does, a primarily legal based methodology in her article “Taking the Trade: Abortion and Gender Relations in an Eighteenth Century New England Village. Examining a variety of depositions and legal documents surrounding a fornication trial in Pomfret, Connecticut, Dayton argues two major fundamental shifts occurred by the 1740s which highlighted how different their society was from that of the Puritan dominated seventeenth century. First, there was a loss of institutional control, both in the ability of the courts to obtain guilty verdicts in cases of moral depravity, e.g., pre-marital sex, and the growing tendancy for families to avoid the court system altogether, choosing instead to handle such matters privately. (Dayton Abortion, 34-35) The second major change which began around the turn of the eighteenth century and was firmly established by the time of the Grosvenor-Sessions case was the emergence of a sexual double standard.…

Back into the 13th century, most of the world is connected with dynamic trade and communication between diverse cultural groups. Among those involved this world system, from the 13th to the 18th century, Asia acted as a vital political, cultural, and economical player and Europe was far from domination…

Fictional new rich, like the manufacturer of shoddy boots in Jules Romains's Verdun had numerous real-life counterparts.
