My theory People for thousands of years have wondered what has happened to the lost colony of roanoke island. There are a billion of situations that could’ve happened. Like alien abductions or territorial indians killing to keep what’s theirs. But here is my inference of what I think could’ve happened. First, I believe that the lost colony relocated to Croatoan island and lived mutually with the indians. I chose to believe this theory because when I looked at all the evidence it all…

Thomas Paine’s “Liberty Tree” printed in July 1775 truly emphasized that the colonies in America were seeking independence to have control of their own land. Although the Liberty Tree was an actual tree, it symbolized the increasing desire and determination of the colonies to be free and independent from England. Since Liberty Tree was planted once the English arrived in America for colonization, as time progressed, colonists were attracted to the symbolic freedom that this tree possessed.…

From 1765 to 1784, an upheaval known as the American Revolution took place, forming the United States of America. It was evident that the colonies rejected British authority and declared themselves independent; however, what is not evident is whether this “American Revolution” was truly a revolution or a coup performed by the upper class for their own benefit. By definition, a “revolution” is a forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system, while a “coup” is just…

Additionally, Frankling would also have the grand goal of changing the American-British relationship from one of colony to its mother, to as equals in hopes to emulated the society in England in America.

Puritanism was a religious reform movement that arose within the Church of England in the late sixteenth century. They were not perceived well by the monarchy in England, leading to their persecution. This persecution caused Puritains of the time to leave their homes in hopes of freedom in the New World to pray and worship as they like, but many soon after lost focus on this original purpose and moved on to new ones. In the writings of Puritains such as, "Huswifery", "Of Plymouth Plantaion", and…

The 13 colonies, that would eventually become the United States, had long been under the rule of Great Britain. For many years the colonists and leaders of Great Britain had a formidable relationship with one another. However as time went on the colonists realized the wrongdoings of the parliament and demanded change. The American Revolution didn’t just happen out of thin air, there were events for years that caused the uprising of the colonists that resulted in the war. If we take a closer look…

The closing years of the 18th century were not easy for Once-British colonialists who crossed the Atlantic Ocean in search of a better life. When just several decades later those same people had to deal with direct exploitation of life, liberty and freedom by their King. These colonies based on the eastern shore of a relatively "new" continent were just a couple of global outreaches from one of the most superior countries in the world known as Great Britain. Assertion of power, coupled with…

Thirteen original colonies that colonized in North America set the standards for what is to be expected of North America. Of the thirteen colonies that settled in America, each one was founded for its own purpose; New Jersey for farming and trade, Rhode Island for separation of church and state, and Virginia for its quest of gold. Virginia became the first successful colony to colonize in America, founded by John Smith in 1607. On the quest for riches and gold, colonists spent most of their time…
