These lists often included name, age, some occupation of the people who had the drive to make this crazy journey to the new world to get rich and search for opportunities. POINT 1:In the passengers list to Virginia and to England there are many names…

colonies were New England and the Chesapeake. These two areas were built along the Atlantic Coast, housing hundreds of European settlers.

He uses the example “ We may as well assert that because a child has thrived upon milk, that it is never to have meat, or that the first twenty year of our lives is to become a precedent for the next twenty” to prove his point and…
