Compare And Contrast The French And British Colonies

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

The French and American Revolution had similar goals, and were caused by the lack of the same things. First came the American Revolution: the movement that formed the United States. Later, the French Revolution came inspired by the Americans. Both of these revolutions were lead by leaders including: George Washington was the commander and chief of the American Revolution. Maximillien Robespierre the leader of the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution. Cornwallis The leader of Britian in the American Revolution. John Adams who signed the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson the author of the Declaration of Independence.

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.

Similarities and Differences Between the Main Colonial Powers Almost immediately after the New World was discovered, countries all around the world began financing voyages to the newly discovered land for reasons such as exploitation, settlement and simple curiosity. Before the American Revolution, there were three main countries that dominated the colonization of America: France, Spain, and England. All of these countries did things similarly and differently that eventually led to the English colonists having control over the country. Some of these similarities included the rigidity of the colonies’ central government and the diversity of their economies. Some of the differences include the population growth within each country’s colonies and each country’s relations with the Native Americans.

A contrast of the colonies are where they settled. The early English colonies settled mostly in Virginia and Massachusetts but quickly spread from Maine to Georgia and even to the Mississippi River. The French Colonies settled in parts of Canada, the Mississippi River, Quebec, and Louisiana. While the Spanish colonies claimed most of the south/southwestern regions including Florida, New Mexico, and places in Texas, and California. Another difference would be where the population of the colonists came from. In English colonies the population arose from specialist such as lumberman and sawmill workers, middle-class farmers, tradesman, convicted criminals, and immigrants from other countries were also allowed over. A similarity between the French

One might think that all of the British colonies in the new world were all the same. This is not the case though. The colonies, although they were all British they had some similarities but mainly they had differences. The Southern, New England and Middle colonies clearly show theses similarities and differences, particularly in terms of land, labor, religion, and native relations.

The settlement of Virginia represent an English colon in the New World of North America. These colonist land in the location of Jamestown. The settlers were the first English settlers. These colonist settled there from 1607 to 1707, during the American Revolution .The Colony of Virginia was nicknamed “ Old Dominion” for it loyalty to the English by King Charles. Add the info for other one. The settlement for Massachusetts were the Puritan later known as pilgrims. Theses settlers were also colonist from England. Jamestown landed on Virginia along the James River. Plymouth landed along t what is now Massachusetts Bay. These were the second to settle in the New World, in 1620.Both were charter originally by the Virginia Company. The five sources of information for this paper are: The Perils of Emigration, A German Migrant in Philadelphia, Increases Mather on Indian Wars, Roger Clap Mass Bay Lean Years, and Iroquois Chiefs Address the Governors of New York and Virginia.

Most colonists that came in the early 1600’s were Christians, a religion that has very specific rules and rigid regulations that must be followed to be a “saved” person destined for a paradisiacal after life. Within these restrictions were the directions to “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). It seems clear that from the first the Christian religion was telling the colonists to “help” the natives by making them conform to the culture of the colonists and destroying their own. This was always done with a sense of Native American natural inferiority. In most cases, the Native Americans were not told the entire nature of their conversion. A Jesuit described the tactics used in converting Native Americans, “The outward splendor with which we endeavor to surround the Ceremonies of the Church…with a magnificence surpassing anything that the eyes of our savages have ever beheld – all these things produce an impression on their minds” (Le pays reneverse by denys delage 168). For those truly religious souls, coming to the New World meant a chance to bring salvation and Christianity to new

European explorers first landed on the shores of what would later become North America more than 500 years ago. Not long after the first explorers had entered the "New World" they found out that they were not alone on this new frontier. Their neighbors in this new land were the Native Americans who had been there for centuries, virtually unaware of life outside the continent. Thus began an inconsistent and often times unstable relationship between the European settlers and the North American Indians. Two nations who had particularly interesting relationships with the Native Americans were the British and the French, both of whom took different approaches to their relations with the Indians economically as well

Although the New England and Chesapeake colonies were settled by people of English origin, by 1700 they were two distinct societies. What accounts for these differences? Basically, the motives, the geography and the values of the people in the colonies were combined to form two very separate societies in Massachusetts and Virginia. Of course both societies contain settlers from Britain. However, the motives and the values in each society were drastically different from each other. Most people who went to Massachusetts have done so because they hope to create an utopia for their religious beliefs. Most people to Virginia, look for economic opportunity in many different ways.

In the early 17th century, English countries were looking for new land to control. This was due to overpopulation and a dearth food supply. The British needed a new place to claim as their own so they could accommodate their ever-growing populace and after Christopher Columbus expedited North American exploration of the Eastern world, many citizens shipped off to form the Jamestown colony in 1607, marking the beginning of an exploration era. By the end of the seventeenth century, as many as 295,000 people shipped off to the Atlantic coast of North America (Pursuit of Happiness). As the colonists expanded past Jamestown, there were noticeable differences in the two areas were colonists lived. They developed differently through the century because the contrasting foundations they were morally different. The New Englanders fixated on seeking personal piety and a strong community while the Southern colonies' motives predicated mercantilism.

Closely followed by Columbus’ “discovery” of the New World in 1492 were the establishments of European colonies with the French primarily in the north and down the Mississippi, and with the British along the east coast. As a result, the Native Americans’ lives changed drastically. Before 1750, in terms of economically, French responded mutually in terms of economy, culturally befriended them and in terms of religion, responded benignly by encouraging Catholicism through missionaries and on were on the best terms with the Natives; the British by contrast, economically

Tiffany Carroll His. 1123 October 24, 2017 British North Americas Founded in the 17th century there were three major regions made up the British North Americas. The North or New England region, the Middle Colonies and the Southern Colonies. The regions had different climate, geography, population, politics, economy and religion. Within each region the way they lived, worked, worshipped and did business was different. The North or New England Colonies consisted of states such as New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

The European colonization of the Americas took place during the late sixteenth century and early seventeenth century. England approached the colonization by sending out groups. The groups were headed to the eastern cost of North America, and they all shared the same purpose. Those two hundred thousand men and women went to the Americas to establish colonies that were agriculturally sustainable. “England sent large numbers of men and women to establish agriculturally based colonies on the mainland.”

Some of the economic similarities and differences between the Spanish colonies in the Americas and the French Colonies are the fact that the Spanish were into farming and trade, the French economy consisted of fur trade. The similarities of the two were the land acquired and the large amounts of land, each used for farming. These similarities and differences were very important and key to the rise of the colonies and their economies as well as important factors for the history to be made afterwards.
