Massachusetts Colony Research Paper

The Mayflower compact and the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut are two historic, yet very important documents that have influenced the government we have today.

The colonies of Jamestown, Plymouth, and Massachusetts Bay each were different by nature, goals, successes, and failures. There were numerous similarities as well as differences. However, each colony was looking for something better that was missing in their main land. Members of each colony had a vision of what they expected the New World to look like. When they arrived, they were given a sense of reality. Each colony had challenges that it would have to overcome to thrive as a new establishment in the New World. The three colonies succeeded at different levels in the New World.

Millford plantation is a historic place located on SC 261, west of Pinewood, SC. Built in 1839-1841, Millford Plantation is considered by many to be the finest example of Greek revival residential architecture in America. The house is located in such a remote section of rural SC that it comes to a surprise to first time visitors, who must drive over miles of dirt roads and through thick forests to reach the house. The house has massive columns, sixteen foot windows, a domed rotunda enclosing a spectacular staircase. All these impressive features are inherent in Greek Rival architecture (Classical American Homes).

On March 16th, an alleged rape occurs at Rockville High School, in Rockville Maryland. A freshman at the age of 14 was allegedly raped by Jose Montano, age 17 and Sanchez-Milan, age 18. The 2 students who are illegal undocumented immigrants from Central America were enrolled at Rockville High school as freshman.

Unity has always been the goal of America. However, as their land expanded their unification fractured. From 1800 to 1850, America was separated between slave supporters and slave abolitionists. As America moved west, the conflict between the two sides increased because of the issues regarding southern farming, slaves states, and contradicting new laws.

In regards to pursing the New World, the colony of Jamestown had set very high hopes, but the colony was ill equipped for the reality of the New World. The English anticipated their arrival to the New World to be an experience like the Spaniards had and that was instant wealth, but what was actually in store for them was far different. The colony of Jamestown settled on a marshy peninsula because it provided a port, which was necessary for the colonies future business endeavors. Another perk of settling on the peninsula was that it provided better protection against attacks from the Native Americans. Unfortunately, settling on the peninsula was one of the colonies biggest downfalls. What they didn’t know was that the swampy waters were contaminated

In 1607 a group of 120 Englishmen who sought gold and other treasure established Jamestown, Virginia. This town was named in honor of King James I who granted this land to the Virginia Company of London. The group of men did not in fact find treasure. More than half of the men succumbed to starvation or diseases and died less than a year later. Of the original group of men only 38 remained. In response to this the Virginia Company of London sent even more colonists to Jamestown, but many of the new settlers also perished.

In the Jamestown colony, colonists were dying because of Native American attacks, famine, disease, and their own mistakes. The colonists chose an area along a river that led to diseases such as dysentary and malaria. Settlers wasted valuable time that could have been used to hunt and fish. Food supplies dwindled until the entire colony was on the brink of starvation.

On the first voyage, Bartholomew Gosnold sailed with 3 ships to build a colony. They found new land, and named it Jamestown after King James. There was a lot of doubt about supporting voyages to send more people to the settlement. There were good reasons why the colony should be supported though. Some of those reasons were land, the spread of their religion, but mostly wealth.

The Jamestown Colony is a very important part of our country. What would it be like if Jamestown Colony never existed. Would we speak Spanish or would Indians occupy the land? These English men gave up their lives to make our country. When the first English Colonists came over to America they faced many problems, such as storms and indian attacks. They had three ships that they brought over the biggest one being called the Susan. These ships carried anything from weapons, food, and people. They stopped several places along the way to replenish their supplies.

British history from 1600 to 1650 wasn’t the best time of history for british people. Britain had a society from 1600 to 1650. From 1600 to 1650 Britain’s government had kings, queens, laws and punishments for outlaws. Britain also had wars religiously, politically and militarily during that time too.

To Begin, I’m just another girl from Dorchester. A black woman who will most likely have a bunch of children with different fathers. Lets not forget that I’ll be sticking with a black male who sells drugs and gang bangs. This is how African American women are perpetrated. And with this racial bias, I feel that a bountiful amount of young black women lose their sense of belonging and become blind to their life goals. Even within our own community, we face constant obstacles and roadblocks. Many of the young black women in Dorchester are exposed or even experience things such as, but not limited to: Rape, Prostitution, pimping, drug dealing, gang banging, addiction, thievery, and even death. Furthermore, this creates a sense of hopelessness.
