The Americas have been accompanied by tons natives. The natives have lived there for years, that is there home. Explorer like Bradford( from Plymouth Plantation, written by William Bradford) and Balboa (from Balboa, written by Sabina Murray) walk on lands and claim them. Sadly for them they enter a land that was already owned by other. These two European explorers helped transport diseases, introduce new crops to the European world, and in the end they obtained the land they desired. The…

Bradford is a separatist he believed that there was no hope of reforming the Church of England from within. “They wished to follow Calvin’s model and to set up “particular” churches, each one founded on a formal covenant , entered into by those who professed their faith and swore to the covenant”. Their model was the old testament which explained how God was made with Adam and renewed through Christ. In his writing he explains how God offered himself as a contractual partner to each believer.…

was taken into account because it was way cheaper and they were better at working in plantations than indentured servants. These slaves worked on plantations of tobacco and indigo. In the eighteenth century more or less about six million African slaves arrived to the New World. They were restrained from learning to write or read.

Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Southern colonies grew their own food along with growing three major cash crops: tobacco, rice, and indigo.

When one considers the actions of the famous Christopher Columbus or Amerdigo Vespucci, one is normally opted to recall one or both of them as the man who discovered the United States of America. However, as history clearly shows, this is not the case for either one of these famous explorers; the lands that would become the United States had been discovered and inhabited long before either of their voyages. The Native Americans, ironically misbranded as Indians by Columbus, can trace their…

Winthrop believes in God, but he uses it as justification on how the Puritans are better than England. In his sermon, “A Model of Christian Charity” Winthrop writes: We must love brotherly without dissimulation; we must love one another we a pure heart reverently. We must bear one another’s burthens. We must not look only for on our own things but also on things of our brethren, neither must we…

The documentary We Shall Remain- After the Mayflower presented contact and interactions between settlers and Native Americans in the early periods of English colonization. It used a familiar event; the Mayflower and the establishment of Plymouth as a colonial settlement to bring forth the information in a new way.

Jamestown and Plymouth Plantation both were looking for new land and a new beginning. There are some similarities in both stories, but there are also some differences.

They both have similar encounters with the Native americans when you compare both of them side to side. The stories are close to being the same, but they are not if you pay close…
