Comparing The English Colonies: Durning The 17th And Early 18th Century

During the 17th and early 18th centuries, many American colonists took it upon themselves to unify the English colonies. As Puritans and other settlers began to establish villages across the eastern coast of North America, they found that the only way for them to function properly was through peace and order. Unity was attained through agreements and constitutions laying down the first steps to self-government and democracy, and to a lesser extent a call to action between the colonists and the English crown.

During the 1700's, people in the American colonies lived in very distinctive societies. While some colonists led hard lives, others were healthy and prosperous. The two groups who showed these differences were the colonists of the New England and Chesapeake Bay areas. The differentiating characteristics among the Chesapeake and New England colonies developed due to economy, religion, and motives for colonial expansion. The colonists of the New England area possessed a very happy and healthy life. This high way of living was due in part to better farming, a healthier environment, and a high rate of production because of more

The British colonies of New England, Middle, and Southern developed during the 17th and 18th centuries as a result of the competitive nature of the European explorers to colonize and obtain more land than the others.

During the English migration over to the Americas in the 1600s, there were two very different communities that had settled in the north and the south. In the north, New England was settled, and in the south, the Chesapeake settlements were formed. The settlements were both dealing with some of the same issues, but they were handling them in different ways. These differences were because the people had different purposes for coming to the New World which caused different reactions to similar problems. Differences including wages and price regulation, standard of living, and the way of cooperating with the Native Americans.

The first colonies that were first established In America have many similarities as they have differences and how the people that previously inhibited it. Colonies like French, The Carolinas, New England, and The Pacific all have a characteristic that relates to our present-day.

The French established three colonies in North America during the 1600s and 1700s. Louisiana and Canada were two of the three colonies. The colony of Canada extended from the north east coast where New Foundland was, down to the Great Lakes. Canada had no real settlements, however, they had many posts which served as trading posts and military support. The colony experienced harsh winters and short growing seasons and because of this their farming efforts usually failed and populations never grew. Since they had little to no success in farming, their economy thrived on fur trade with natives. By creating close ties with the natives they were able to trade metal goods for fur and then craft the fur and later profit from it. In the 1660s the

In a time when Native Americans occupied present-day America, the Age of Exploration began in Spain, and the Puritans who disagreed with the Church of the England fled to a place where the Puritans could practice their faith without scrutiny. It is in this context that the Native Americans used to dominate the New World until the Spanish founded New Spain for Gold, God, and Glory. The English explorers who settled in the New World after being persecuted in England and to make profit this caused conflict with the natives eventually leading to the French and Indian War. The Spanish and English colonies that settled between 1492 and 1700 were significantly different in the way the two different groups used religion to determine what happened

In colonial America in the late 1700s, the states were not unified under a single form of government. They were under British imperial rule, which proved to be a constant struggle for the colonists In the late 1700s, America was in a state of political, social and economic unrest. For example, certain significant events such as the Proclamation of 1763, the Sugar Act of 1764, and… ??? Eventually, these events contributed to the American Revolution starting in 1765, where the colonists rebelled against British power. This period of time ultimately was the beginning of The United States as an independent country. Finally, in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was drafted, which allowed the United States to officially break away from British rule.

In early America, there were two main competitors who had made colonies in North America. These two countries were Spain and Britain. Although the two were geographically close, the way they chose to live out politics and religion was completely different.

Colonies, colonies, we all should know that a colony is a region of land that is under the political control of another country. The reason for colonies is Queen Elizabeth wanted to grow Britain and encounter Spanish. There are 13 colonies divided into three groups, Northern, southern and middle. The reason for this is that they all have idiosyncratic backgrounds. The New England (Northern), Southern, and Middle colonies are different, particularly in terms of land, labor, religion, native relations, and etc. One might think that all of the British colonies in the new world were all the same. That’s false statement. The colonies, although they were all British they had some similarities but mainly they had differences.

1. The disagreement between England and the colonies is the colonies believed that since they were a part of England they should be respected too and should not pay taxes. The colonists opposed the taxes being added. The colonists felt England was not doing good to their colonies.

There were many issues in colonial America throughout the seventeenth century that settlers had to face. Some were caused by the import of European lifestyles and views, others were distinctly American. While the northern and southern colonies differed in many areas, both experienced similar political, social, religious, and economic tensions. The religious tensions, and by extension the political tensions, in the colonies was largely due to the various religious beliefs present in the colonies.

The study of American colonies is very interesting because it not only shows us a group of different people banding together to create a nation but also how they fended off another nation to become free. This is how our great nation became what it is today; freedom is all anybody ever wanted so they risked their lives and the lives of their family to make the dangerous journey. There were the original 13 colonies in American but what people forget about are the other Spanish holdings towards the West that played a huge role in the tensions that were created in the 17th century and 18th century. There were huge tensions between groups of people for various reasons and this can be found in several writings.

From the founding of the first English colonies to Thomas Jefferson becoming the third president of the United States of America, there was always one question in mind. Is America a land of opportunity? This time period is ridden with oppression and rebellion. So, no America was not a land of opportunity. Because of its infancy and tolerance of oppression, America fell short in terms of opportunity for those who were of the “lesser” ethnic groups.

The colonists were a diverse group of people who experienced vary fast growth. The fields of education were barely able to keep up with the population growth during the 17th century. Enlightenment ideals exalted man’s capacity for knowledge and social improvement, but their teachings were kept primarily to fields of education. Georgia was planned to become a utopia of enlightenment ideals, but it degraded quickly into a smaller version of South Carolina and its charter was surrendered to parliament by its enlightenment founders. The result was that Georgia did more to spread revivalism than Enlightenment. Revivals spread across the colonies in New England by men like Solomon Stoddard, Jonathan Edwards, Charles and John Wesley and George Whitfield.
