In the late eighteenth century, North American British Colonies worked to free themselves and create their own governing body. Some ideas stated by revolutionaries helped to unite the colonies in a single governing body and revolt against the existing government. The primary driving forces of the revolutionaries included the belief that humans had the right to freedom and to govern themselves, and that they had certain natural rights that the ruling government of Britain was not allowing them, as well as a general hatred for the ruling power of the European monarchy. These ideas that were so prevalent in the colonies were stated by many different revolutionaries, but many of them held the same idea, freedom was a right that was shared by all

1.John Calvin- Martin Luther’s follower as a Protestant theologian, and the biggest figure in the second generation of the Protestant Reformation.

The effects of the revolutionary war were felt far and wide by everyone involved; however, groups such as the colonist slaves, the Indians, and women felt these influences in particular. For the colonist, the revolution signified the introduction of the idea of “life, liberty, and property” (Schultz, 2009, p. 112) as a natural right for every person. Additionally, the conclusion of the war signaled the possibility of the new politics of republican democracy, instead of the Old-World gentry style of governing (Schultz, 2014). Also, instead of seeing each state as its own entity, they began recognizing that they all shared attributes that separated them from everyone else; in fact, this provided the colonist with a sense of unity that was necessary for the creation of the United States of America (Schultz, 2009). These effects on the colonist were for their benefit, but what about the slaves?

Throughout the Industrial Revolution, countries began to gain many raw materials to strengthen their empires. Inventions like the automobile made things much more efficient. With all this newly aquired power, countries already did not know what to do with it. During this Age of Progress from around the 1870's to 1890's, countries began to experience anxiety because they had trouble figuring out how humans worked. A great example is Siegmund Frued's psychoanalysis system which tried to prove how the human mind works, but now we know today it is very flawed. Herbert Spencer created his Social Darwinism theory stating that the strong countries are strong and "fit" to survive, and that the weak will die out. This caused more anxiety, so people mindlessly followed what was told to them. Many of these anxieties caused the imperialization of Africa, where

Scientists and historians use the evidence of artifacts to suggest the complex trade networks of Indians. Some of these artifacts include obsidian from the Rocky Mountains, copper from the Great Lakes, mica from the Appalachians, and shells from the Gulf coast, the bow and arrow, and the appearance of certain crops like maize. These are just a few examples.

In the sixteen hundreds the Protestants left Europe to escape religious persecution. They did not agree with the Anglican Church so they traveled to New England where they could worship freely. They established some colonies such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland as plantations of religion. However, those where not the first colonies to be settled by the protestants, they first settled in the Massachusetts Bay colony but eventually spread out to many other places because they did not all believe what they were teaching was right.

Coming into the 4th Era, the Church held a prominent role in society. Many rulers legitimized their power through the approval of the pope. However, the church was seriously reformed under the criticism of Martin Luther in that, while other theologies like protestantism began to take hold, the catholic church’s role decreased. As secular perspectives began to intensify, both art and wealth shifted toward the furthuring of the human being rather than the glorification of religious deities. As such, interest in commodities from Asia grew as European entities traveled west with the hopes of reaching East Asia.

B.C.E., such as the water structures, iron tools, and craftsmanship which has been beneficial to many.

In the 19th century, United States was under the European empire supremacy. European held a powerful authority that commands the United States to fight against the Native Indian tribes from the West to extend their territories. However, the EU and US didn’t expect the Native to have abundant resources and population that could outweigh them in this raging battle. The war between the Native tribes and the United States went on for years. The US won the battle in the end. The US forcefully removed the Native Indian out of their own territories, extended their region to Mississippi River and established a treaty that only allowed indigenous people to stay if they obey the US regulations.

The United States of America like many other western nations participated wholeheartedly in the race for colonies and an empire across the world, mainly in Asia and Africa. The United States had very little interest in Africa and preferred to focus its desire for an empire upon Asia and the Caribbean. The people of the United States whom democracy ultimately comes from where much more fickle and divided over what direction the nation should go in then many may believe. While many Americans fully embraced the ideals of Jingoism and the idea of spreading a great American empire throughout the world this opinion was meant with large amounts of dissent as many individuals felt that this was the wrong direction for the nation to go.

1. The historical thinking skill practice during the guided practice and in the DBA was sourcing. We practiced it by answering sourcing questions that were written in the front page of the DBA packet. The first time the “teachers” helped us source the first document and then we had to do it in groups or by ourselves with the other document.

The victory over the British Empire gave the colonies their independence as a sovereign United States of America. However, there were many issues that went overlooked by the Constitution that stated all “men are created equal.” This did not pertain to African American slaves and women who struggled for freedom and rights as new citizens of the United States. Historians debate the role the Revolution played in both slavery and women’s rights. Some argue that it benefited the abolition of slavery and heightened the role of women in society while others say it muted these issues and in some cases made them worse. Yet, in actuality the truth may lie somewhere in between the argument, where both slavery and women’s rights were not at the forefront, however, the issues were at the very least brought to light.

At the season of the American Revolution, Jefferson was effectively engaged with enactment that he trusted would bring about subjection's abolition. In 1778, he drafted a Virginia law that precluded the importation of subjugated Africans. In 1784, he proposed a statute that would boycott servitude in the Northwest territories. But Jefferson constantly kept up that the choice to liberate slaves would need to be a piece of a just procedure; annulment would be hindered until the point when slaveowners agreed to free their human property together in a vast scale demonstration of liberation. To Jefferson, it was against majority rule and in spite of the standards of the American Revolution for the national government to authorize annulment or for just a couple of grower to free their slaves.
