Elements of Colonial Life in New England Economic Political Social Massachusetts Bay Colony was thriving as a result of the successful fur trading, fishing, and shipbuilding industries. This was made possibly by skillful settlers like John Winthrop, an affluent and educated settler who became the colony’s first governor.

Rather than run the ball, Wilson threw an interception to safety Malcolm Butler in the end zone and cost the Seahawks the game. Green Bay coach Vince Lombardi was hoisted on the shoulders of his players and carried off the field after winning the Super Bowl. At the end of his career, it was the last game he coached for the Packers. It’s time honoured tradition. “Gatorade showers” or the…

Coach Payton mentioned more than once that he was struggling with his emotions and expressed the game was kind of a blur to him at…

The Bay of Pigs invasion was a waste of America’s time and the invasion should not have been thought about in the first place. It was just lost of $13 million and lives that shouldn’t have been in the invasion. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) just gave the Frente Revolucionario Democratico (FRD) guns and told them run back into Cuba and give it the best you got. Also, shows that we get ahead of ourselves and that we get worked up over the littlest things. When we do we do not think about,…

The pilgrim certainly did not intend to continue to serve England; however, for the time being, the pilgrims had no choice to continue to serve under their King.

In The Times of Their Lives: Life, Love, and Death in Plymouth Colony, Deetz covers how the Pilgrims were not Puritans but separatist. The…

We need a commander-in-chief who understands that - and who won't leave us facing a foe who thinks he doesn't” (Herman, 2012). This quote described by Herman, states that the Cuban revolution was a serious worldwide threat. Therefore president John F. Kennedy included that "It is insane that two men, sitting on opposite sides of the world,…
