One of these voyages was coming to America so that they could have a better life for themselves, by making a permanent settlement where they could start their lives and their children’s lives again. The other was for economic reasons from a company in London that just wanted to obtain a larger market for manufactured goods coming from England. These voyages were improvements from what we knew of our world back in the 1400’s. Both voyages were varied a lot from one another but meet some of the…

Throughout this course we’ve examined Appalachia as a separate and distinct region within the United States. The question of whether it’s a subculture or a colony is rather muddy at best. The Oxford Dictionary defines subculture as: “A cultural group within a larger culture, often having beliefs or interests at variance with those of the larger culture”. While this is true of Appalachia to some degree, the problem lies within its geographical area and the large number of subcultures that live in…

Why the Confederacy Lost the Civil War The Confederacy lost the Civil War for many reasons that could’ve impacted the results of the Civil War. One reason is that the south didn’t have as many resources as the North. In fact, as of 1860, 97% of the Guns in the USA were made in the North. Additionally, 94% of the pig iron was made in the North. The North blocked its rivers, so supplies couldn’t be sent to the south. So, the North had more resources than the south. All the south really had was big…

as the victor due to the impressive leadership of Lieutenant John Worden, innovative naval technology, and frankly pure luck. On the morning of March 8, 1862, the CSS Virginia steamed into Hampton Roads looking to pick a fight. However, this ship was nothing like the other vessels in the harbor. “The Confederate State Ship Virginia boasted no masts or spars, nor sails of any kind. The black smoke emerging from its single stack amidships marked it as a steam-powered vessel… To add to the…

When 104 men hit the ground in Virginia in 1607 they felt that the name Jamestown fit very well for the first English settlement in the New World. More than ten years later, 102 men did the same thing and hit ground in Massachusetts, choosing the name Plymouth. This is where English settlement began! The two British colonies had such big dreams and ideas. These dreams and ideas took them far and started something they never thought they would have. When it came to government, each colony had…

New Jersey is full of places where historical events have occurred. One of these places is Journal Square, which is located in Jersey City, NJ. Its history starts when the Lenni Lenape Indians first settled there. In the 1650s, General Peter Stuyvesant had everyone under his rule. Two years later, Stuyvesant engineered the purchase of most of present-day Hudson County from the Indians in return for materials. On November 1660, the Dutch moved in and claimed Bergen Square (now known as Journal…
