Maine, Canada And All Along The Eastern Coast Of The United States

As you walk down the streets of Arcadia, Nebraska, you look from side to side and see nothing more than a quiet little town. What you probably aren’t aware of is the history behind this “little town”. Arcadia is built off of determination, character, and distinctiveness. As you make your way down Main Street, you start to grasp a glimpse of the past. Arcadia, Nebraska is a village with quite a story to tell. Not many people know how Arcadia was founded or even how it came to be. Arcadia has dealt with struggles and overcome tragedies, whereas most towns simply would have died away. In addition to the charm of Arcadia’s perseverance, there are also many fun

The English were early settlers in America. Two of their areas of settlement were the New England area and the Chesapeake area. Even though these two places were settled by the same country, both of their societies were very different. The main reasons for their differences were their motives for colonization, slavery, and religion.

The Appalachian region is one of the most valuable areas of the United States. It is rich in many natural aspects and is home to some of the hardest working citizens in this country. Unfortunately, Appalachia is also home to a variety of harsh social problems including severe drug abuse and a gripping poverty facing a large portion of Appalachian citizens. The two of these issues seem to go hand in hand in many cases, so the solution of one could also lead to the solution of the other. Appalachians have always had a history of handling their own problems, these drastic social problems are no different.

The New England and the Chesapeake regions were both settled by immigrants from England. However, by 1700 these regions developed into two extremely different societies. There were a few major reasons why this happened. Immigrants that settled in the New England region came to the New World with different goals than the immigrants that settled in the Chesapeake region. In general, the settlers in the Chesapeake region were more materialistic than the settlers in the New England region. Differences in goals, values, and beliefs caused the distinction between the two societies.

In the 1600s, America began colonization. Each colony had a specific goal or aspiration that it planned to achieve. These colonies were separated into different regions among America. Two specific regions that many historians tend to articulate about. Consisting of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire, the New England region presents many intriguing ways of achieving their goals. Likewise, the Chesapeake Bay, which contain Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and part of South Carolina, also have their own ways of achieving different goals. While many focus on the differences of each region, others focus on the similarities that each of the regions possess. Using common knowledge and the historical documents that have been stumbled on over the past number of years, the reader will be able to understand the differences and similarities between the New England and Chesapeake regions as well as determine whether the differences or similarities benefit the colonies.

On his travels to the “New World” and his encounters with the Native Americans John Smith wrote in third person “The History of Virginia, New England, and the Summer Islands.” This book is considered one of the earliest histories written for this region of the Americas and what is to be known as the Virginia Company (Smith). These two joint stock companies were originally established to settle North America in the two general regions of the north and south. London Company was given a charter to establish in north while the Plymouth Company was chartered for the south. These companies originally instituted settlements but later uninhibited the regions.

The mid-Atlantic and Southern regions during the 17th century, played a big role in creating and structuring America’s politics, economy and social life. Through trial and error eventually these regions formed America into the country as we know it today. The mid-Atlantic 's vast wealth of natural resources allowed this region to become very fruitful, economically in several key industries. The South during this time became very dependent of agriculture and trade. Settlers relied heavily on slave labor to work on farms, which created economic wealth through the use of plantations (Original13colonies, “n.d.). These two particular regions had several overlapping similarities as well as differences that made them unique.

Northern and Southern United States both started their history differently. The South was mostly into farming, while the North was more about the industry. Both regions also had sectional differences in the way tariffs and slavery were intertwined. Since there were unfair tariffs that tested dominate leaders like the Britain Crown, many rebellions have been staged.

The population change data in the Northeast Mid-Atlantic region of this map shows that the region has mostly experienced a decline in population. This decline also affects the surrounding Northern regions with few exceptions in states such as Delaware, Virginia and Ohio. This region is the backbone of the manufacturing belt and perhaps the major urban development area in the United States since mid-1800s. Despite having the highest population density at the present day, it has been notable through recent decades that there was significant population movement towards the South and the West. This Sun Belt region has been a major attraction for people in the North due to its richness in amenities. This can be seen in the map as places such as

My family has lived in Brevard for seventeen years now. This small town is all I've ever known as home. There are aspects of Brevard that I've come to love. With a population of just over 7,000 people, it is very rare that you find yourself in a situation where you can't locate a familiar face. There is something comforting about the familiarity of it all; you know at least one person who lives on every street, you've made memories at every restaurant, park, and street corner. Still, there is an ugly side to this beautiful little corner of the earth.

It takes a lot to rip apart a town. It takes a lot to ravage a community, particularly one as tightly-knit as Ridgway, Pennsylvania. Nestled snugly at the southeastern edge of Allegheny National Forest, Ridgway’s population has dipped to just below four thousand in recent years, though in its 191 years of settlement, it’s never once been called home by more than roughly six thousand people at once. Its proximity to the forest attracts huntsmen and hikers alike, but unless one were actively looking for the town—the square mileage of which comes in at just over two and a half miles, total—it would be remarkably easy for Ridgway to not make a blip on someone’s radar at all. It’s small, out of the way, and most of all, quiet—a recipe for insignificance.

Commercial fishing in New England is not sustainable. Commercial fishing is the catching of fish for profit and, as with other profit making activities, there are trade-offs between a pure capitalistic market and the damage it does to resources. For commercial fishing, this trade-off is that the more fish the fishermen catch, the more damage it does to the fish population. To make commercial fishing sustainable, large regulations need to be in place, as Jack said. However, large regulations of a free market are usually not accepted in America and would not be put in place in time to save the fish and sustain commercial fishing.

The Huron were a First Nations people around what is currently known as the Great Lakes region. The Jesuits, a group of French Catholic missionaries, voyaged to various parts of the St. Lawrence region. With that, the Jesuit missions of Huronia are significant in understanding the history of Huronia, Catholic conversions of First Nations, the epidemics that ravaged many Aboriginal peoples, and the displacement of the Huron. There were considerable effects of the Jesuit missions, including economic benefits for the French and the Huron, differences and similarities among the two cultures, and the devastating epidemics among the First Nations. This essay argues that the Jesuit missions of Huronia was a contributing force in the eventual

Another article about the higher temperature on the oceans. According to this article, New England’s lobsters is increasing above the normal average. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission reports that this phenomenon is a result from the higher temperature under the oceans. They inform that higher temperature lead to speeding up their metabolism. When the water may get too warm, it is put the animals under stress. The writer is Carl Zimmer, and explained about the reason of the un-normal increasing of the lobsters in New England. That can prove that climate change has a big impact on the marine life. The article is support my research that climate change cause an extinct of the marine creatures, by using the Atlantic States Marine

“In the year of 1989, there was a street named Elm, in the state of Wyoming. Few chose to live on that street, and they all knew about the haunted house, up on the hill, on the west side of town, coming off of Elm. Once, I spent the week with some friends and, Halloween came upon us, while I stayed with them.” I was telling my first-grade brother and his friends stories to scare them out of their wits. Besides, no one wants little kids tagging along with you to go trick or treating, when you could go with your friends to Haunted Houses, and not ones set up by the town hall. “We were just about to pass the house, not thinking anything of it, when we heard a moan coming from Old Man Reaper’s house.” Their eyes grew wide with fear.
