Freedom And Freedom Of Freedom

Flags burning under raining bombs, gunshots echoing through a field of raining terror, while hiding underground for the day where humanity can roam free again; situations as so aren’t exactly what people imagine when thinking about one’s future. Every death was honored by those who lived; lives lost during wars of any kind are unlike lives lost in our country today, not for the value of those once living are greater than another, but from how much those lives mean to this day. Establishment and preservation of freedom wasn’t easy and will never be easy; many people served until their last breath, for the freedoms of our lives today. That is why we must continue to grasp for freedom, and to establish and preserve our freedom most effectively we must have the heart to be free, and have united dedication to freedom itself.

Contrary to the pilgrims of New England, those who settled in the Chesapeake area colonized the region for more economic purposes. Many people who settled in the Chesapeake were down-on-their-luck English citizens living in swamps and slums hoping to stake it out in the New World, because it couldn’t be much worse than the conditions they faced back in England. Most received their tickets to America through indentured servitude, paying for their trip with a few years of free labor for a wealthy master. Document C is a roster of indentured servants bound for Virginia who are all set to work for the same master. Indentured servitude had long lasting effects on the colonies, the most impactful being Bacon’s Rebellion in 1676 (Document H). This uprising was caused former indentured servants who had no land or property of their own once their work contracts expired. Because the land westward was populated by Natives and therefore almost impossible to acquire, the dissenters focused against the rich and powerful members of the colonies. The successful uprising led to reforms such as work regulations explained in Document E, as well a shift away from indentured servitude and towards slavery of blacks. Other settlers besides indentured servants were aspiring traders and gold-hunters mentioned in Document F. While traders had little success early on and treasure hunters definitely didn’t find their fields of

The seventeenth century brought thousands of immigrants to the New World in pursuit of freedom and a new life. Many wanted a chance to be free from the poverty in England, others desired freedom from religious persecution. As a result, the American colonies were created, Even though all colonies had English descent many separated into different regions like the New England and Chesapeake colonies because of religious, social ,and political differences. The Chesapeake colonies were created to profit off of gold but their warm climate and fertile land turn them into cash crop giants. On the other hand the New England colonies were trying to escape the religious havoc in England. New England's cold climate encouraged a diverse economy and compact towns which led to many advancements in their religion and education.

When you ask people what freedom is they may respond that freedom is when you can do whatever you want to do at whatever time. Mostly this will be the response of kids and young adults. But this definition of freedom is incorrect. Freedom is when we are allowed to have power of right to act without violating other people's freedoms or rights. The most effective tools for establishing and preserving freedom are strong government and constitution. A quote that can help out the claim comes from the Declaration of independence “We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal: that they are endowed by their creator with unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”.

All around the world people talk about freedom; America has more freedom than Russia, twenty-one years old as more freedom than a fifteen year old. What does “freedom” mean? Many have different definitions of “freedom”. For some it could be the freedom to speak and act as you want and others it could be to go where ever you want.

“May we not think of freedom as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to what is right.” (Peter Marshall). Some people don’t think about freedom as that. Freedom is doing the right thing but when one chooses to do it. Freedom is being able to have certain rights like speaking your mind, and making one’s own decisions.

There is humanly no possible way to merely or easily define what “freedom” truthfully is, as every distinct person and each social order has opposing restrictions for what this belief is. Bureaucrats and social researchers, for example, have vastly diverse philosophies of what institutes freedom. This primeval belief has been ingrained into mankind since the beginning of time. Century after century mankind has fought in numerous wars for this concept of “Freedom”.

In the early 1620's, the New England region was first settled by a group of adventurers. These settlers left England, their native country, by the permission of King Charles the First. At their own expense they transported themselves to America, and, with great risk and difficulty, settled among other peoples native to the land. In a very surprising manner, the settlers formed new colonies in the wilderness and these establishments grew and prospered. Before they had departed England, the colonists' terms of freedom and their relation to the mother country were fully settled; they were to remain subject to the King and dependent on the kingdom of Great Britain. In return, they were to receive protection. They would also enjoy the

In the 1600’s and 1700’s, the notions of freedom were not the same for everyone. European colonists had an idea that they were far superior than any other civilization and because of that they felt entitled with the authority to decide who would serve whom and what rights and liberty an “inferior” person would have. Let me talk to you about the freedom of slaves and English colonists. Africans, in the 1600’s were viewed as savages by the English colonists; thought of as uncivilized and even viewed as animals (Foner, 80). The sense of Africans being inferior made their enslavement justified for use in plantations, since the Native American population had gone down due to disease.

The power or right to act, speak or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. A word created by man to escape the bonds of tyranny to express the idea of what it means to persist one's own ambitions. Freedom. Freedom is not the absence of confinement but the will to achieve freedom when imprisoned. After carefully concluding the reading done over this semester one is able to clearly understand the confinement these early Americans felt and their decision to achieve a form of freedom. Freedom has always existed but it is the history of this nation that will define what actions freedom takes.

There are many reasons for colonists’ settlement in the North American Continent. One being the obvious would be religious freedom, many did not agree with what Queen Elizabeth was reestablishing within the church. The opening of religious freedom was not everyone’s goal, but the promise of freedom AND wealth gave colonists confidence for a better life in the New World. The range of opportunities of a “New World” was a chance for many people to simply explore something that was new, in some cases anything was better than how they were living in England. The agriculture in early North America was a huge break for the colonists, tobacco being the first plantation that led of the biggest trade exports (Schultz 34). The colonists’ wanted economic

The word freedom is often associated with the idea of an unfettered liberty to select from a range of alternatives coupled with a sense that our actions will not affect our natural state.

The motives of the English people who migrated to America in the seventeenth century in order of most importance is; Escape religious persecution, to get wealthy, and to start new lives. Most of the colonies were created as a religious haven for those persecuted in England, such as Massachusetts colonies, Connecticut colonies, New Jersey colonies, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Delaware and Pennsylvania. That's more than half of the colonies created for religious freedom. Other colonies were founded for purposes of wealth. Colonies like Virginia, Maryland, and The Carolinas. People were searching for gold and other expensive goods in order to get wealthy. This ties into the last point of many people wanted a new life. People in overcrowded England

Today we accept that freedom is a basic right human right but what exactly is freedom. 1On one hand, there is physical freedom. People who are not imprisoned or enslaved are free.
