Compare And Contrast The English Colonies

The different colonies -- New England, Middle, and Southern -- all have things in common and they also have many differences. The way the colonial system was made is that if the colonies were to survive the husband and wife had to work together. However, there was definitely a difference in power between the father (was in control) and the mother (who cleaned and kept the house in order).

The Spanish colonies and the Native Americans are alike and unalike the English colonies and the Native Americans. The Spanish colonies and the Native Americans are different then the English because they were never decent or ever tried to be allies with the Natives. The Spaniards were led by Juan Gines de Sepulveda, who was very anti-native. So since the Spaniards leader was never courteous toward Natives all the Spaniards never even tried to be. One of the only Spanish settlers that was, was Bartolome de Las Casas who was priest who tried to help the Natives and was known as “Protector of the Indians”. Gines never even gave Natives a chance. Even before settling he was prepared to take over them because they were barbaric and savages. Gines

In a time when the Native Americans were building complex structures and had control of all of the Americas, the Spanish arrived, and took control from the natives conquering the Americas and leaving behind their influence until 1680. Also in a time when new colonists are arriving from England to America to form settlements, and settlers begin to reconsider their traditions. It is in this context that the Spanish and New England colonists are compared and contrasted. The Spanish and New England colonies from 1492 to 1700 were significantly similar in terms of treatment of indigenous people and considerably different in control of religion and control of European government.

New England consisted of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Hampshire. While the southern colonies were Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia. Even though both of them were in the New World they differ religiously, economically, socially and politically. Both, New England and Southern colonies, made an impact on the development of culture.

Creating a New World has to start somewhere, even if it means it began separated between three different colonies. The New England colonies included Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, it was established in the early 1620’s by a religious group, the Puritans.The southern colonies included Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, Virginia was the first successful Southern colony and was established in the early 16th century. These colonies shared their similarities but also had a lot of differences.

Have you ever wondered where why the many different countries in Europe came to America to explore and colonize? There were two main concepts that drew the Europeans to America: the excitement and profit of the "New World", and the past histories of their countries. The English, French, and Spanish each came to the Americas in search of a new beginning; a fresh start in which they could escape past torment and capture new wealth. However, each motive defined the character of each settlement.

There were a myriad of differences between Great Britain and her American colonies in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, but these differences can be divided into three basic categories: economic, social, and political. The original American settlers came to the colonies for varied reasons, but a common trait among these settlers was that they still considered themselves British subjects. However, as time passed, the colonists grew disenfranchised from England. Separated from the king by three thousand miles and living in a primitive environment where obtaining simple necessities was a struggle, pragmatism became the common thread throughout all daily life in the colonies. It was this pragmatism that led the colonists to create

In the seventeenth century, colonial America was categorized into three major regions; New England, the Middle Colonies, and the South. Each region provided various opportunities and breakthrough ideas that created a distinct economic, cultural, and political society different from any other region. These ideas became the beginning of some prominent themes and beliefs Americans see as essential in today’s society.

There was very little development of the industry as a result of plantation owners putting all of their money into their land and slaves. This resulted in little investment and was therefore the cause for little development. The little bit of industry development that there was resulted in Lumber, fur and Naval store trading. In the Middle Colonies the establishment was also partially economical, with the exception of Pennsylvania. Just as in the South these colonies were established to serve the mother country, however the agriculture was producing different crops, and the industry was producing fur and Naval supplies but not much Lumber. The agricultural aspect of the economy flourished because of the moderate climate which provided for longer growing seasons and also the rich soil found in the area. The main crops were Wheat, Barley, Fruit and livestock was also produced. These colonies were known as "The Bread Basket." Although mainly established for religious reasons the north also contributed to the mercantile system. The climate was cold ad growing seasons were short, the soil was rocky and it was hard to produce crops. However small amounts of Beans, Barley, Oats and corn were produced along with livestock. The main economic advantage in the North was the fact that it was in a good trading location and had good ports. This is why the

For the people of Europe the Americas was a place to prosper, worship in there own way, and expand there kingdoms. The only problem is that they attempted to settle in their own way and all failed dismally. The New England, Mid-Atlantic and Southern Colonies grew differently in various ways, but each with the same state of mind, “do it our way”. Examining the three sets of colonies will prove that they were all different in religion, government, and ways of expansion.

While Britain’s colonies flourished in America, Spain’s floundered. The colonies focused on searching for gold, converting the Native Americans to Catholicism, didn’t export from the colonies, and kept to themselves. The French and British colonies were successful, doing nearly the exact opposite, so France and Britain grew more powerful than Spain and the Netherlands. The colonies in America were important money-makers for the warring countries, and were soon squeezed for the profit.

American do not like under full control by anybody. Proof that the Americans do not like being control by others is that they separated themselves from Britain. They were sick of live under Britain.

GKE Task 3 Linda Mckee A. Colonialism is a significant part of history especially in North America. North America was originally colonized by Europeans in the 10th century by Norse sailors who colonized what are now parts of Greenland and Canada, followed later by many European nations including; Great Britain, France, and Spain. The most notorious and first of these Europeans was Christopher Columbus who began colonizing America in 1492 on behalf of Spain. The reason for Christopher Columbus even finding North America was an accident due to he was sailing west in hopes of an alternate route to India but instead landed in the Caribbean.

The European conquest for establishing North American colonies began with various motivations, each dependent on different, and/or merging necessities: economics, the desire to flee negative societal aspects, and the search for religious freedoms. Originally discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 in search for a trade route to Cathay (China), North America remained uninhabited, excluding the Native American establishments. Following this discovery, Spain –along with other European nations such as France, England, Sweden and the Netherlands– soon began the expedition to the new land with vast expectations. Driven by economic, societal, and religious purposes, the New World developed into a diversely structured colonial establishment

The British colonial system was controlled by the British Empire that developed their own policies of wealth. The system provides protection, money, endorse trading funds and provides an establishment for one to live life by law. They up rose the economy, government and political system. The system was very different throughout each colony because each viewed it their own way. England is a powerful country that empowered the world.
