Colonies in antiquity

In the early 1700s all of the English colonies were struggling with problems. Common problems for the English colonies were fighting with the native Indians, growing crops, struggling with illnesses, dividing social classes, and much more. Although each individual colony had at least one problem to fight against many of the colonies had multiple problems. The criteria for a well established colony could be the colonies life expectancy, education opportunities, job opportunities, overall economy…

The crowds actions was a form of protest because they had rights to speak their mind. The British point of view was explaining how the colonist were animals and had weapons and were dangerous in a type of way. They acted like raging devils. On the other hand, colonist point of view was that they weren't the bad one's, the British was. They were charging extra for everyday things they needed and they didn't want to. It wasn't fair/right to them.The colonist really didn't want to pay extra that…

Mercantilism shaped this exchange because economic markets in Europe, Africa, and the Americas had more exports than imports in order to achieve more economic success, resulting in higher transfers of foreign biological goods. The first permanent American colony, Jamestown, had several hindrances that caused them to struggle in its early years. Firstly, the Virginia Company only sent unskilled men to extract gold from the lands, only to find no gold. Without any skills to support themselves,…

Jamestown and Plymouth colonies both had their own reasons for settling in the new world. They had different ways of living which led to different successions within their colonies. While both Jamestown and Plymouth colonies thrived for a better way of life, the comparison and contrasts between their beliefs on government and politics, economy and trade, and Indian relations widely vary. Secondly, while both Jamestown and Plymouth colonies thrived for a better way of life, the comparison and…

had pressed upon a tired and loose colonial aggregate, and though these pressures were sometimes justified, they brought together a quite recently bickering populace with contempt for taxation and other misgivings. From the northmost colony of Maine to the buffer colony Georgia, all knew that contentions were stewing. However, though insurrection was on the mind of each colonist, this concept lie slanted in many different ways. Squarely within one extreme were the Loyalists, for never did they…

newspapers, legal documents, ships’ papers, and etc. This affected nearly every citizen living in the colonies. They reacted by saying it was “miserably burdening and oppressed with taxes,” (Faragher 132) which was in all seriousness very true. No man in the right state of mind is content with more taxes. Another reason why most neutral people began to look another way was the fact that no one from the colonies had any representation in the Parliament. They felt as if they had no say and were…

different nationalities there were a lot of different cultures existed in the colonies. In short, the most influence culture difference was language barrier and for all of the new immigrants to become one productive society they had to agree to one language. The ability for all to have one common language enables them to make transactions amongst each other and grow their economy. As the author noted, “in order for the colony to flourish the settlers needed to be able to communicate with each…

I am Jason of Sparta. I rise today to speak for establishing new colonies because they can aid us in times of need, support our ever-expanding population, and open us into more trade routes. To start off, if we are on a food shortage or a severe drought, we can simply rely on our colonies to bring wholesome food and water to us. You might ask, how will we make sure that the colonies will provide us with food? Simple, they rely on our domestic items for trade, binding them to us. Moreover, our…

many similarities but also many differences. The two colonies have similar problems when trying to develop their towns but had different reasons for why they started them to begin with. while both had different driving forces, they both ultimately wanted the same thing, to form a successful new town. Though out the next paragraphs I will discuss these differences and similarities, as well as why I think Massachusetts was the more successful colony. I want to start with Virginia because well,…

New England terrain helped farmers across the colony produce enough material to sustain themselves and the ability to trade with England, and the New England colony saw more independence from Britain than other colonies. One of the reasons for the Puritans’ success in England is because they were able to bring family members to the colony and they ventured with members of their former community. The ability to bring family members to the colony meant that women could take a larger role in…
