Valley Forge December year of 1777 Washington and his army arrived at Valley Forge. Valley Forge was used for a winter camp for Washington and his army. Valley Forge was a cold place to live, not a lot of food, and not a lot of clothes, bad housing all these things are bad but soldiers stay with their army. Valley Forge would you have quit me I would not quit because There were a lot of people sick but not a lot of dying, Washington is getting help, and I’m not a summer soldier freedom is worth fighting for.

Many religious peoples were being persecuted, and they were looking for a new place to put down their roots. Others fled the poverty of Europe to search for a better life in the Americas. No matter their reasons for leaving, people of all different backgrounds, origins, and religions came to the New World bringing with them their social and cultural traditions. The New World created a unique opportunity for people who used to be adversaries to come and coexist with the hope of a better future just as the Huguenots and English Catholics did. Seventeenth and Eighteenth century America was already showing signs of becoming what they would later be known as “the Great American Melting Pot”. Cultures from all over merged together, creating a uniquely American culture- taking influences from all the different colonists that settled there. There was no longer the Quakers, the Germans, or the Huguenots, they were all just American, and that’s what drew people to the New

The role of religion in the colonies of New England and the Spanish were incredibly different. Both the Spanish that fled and the New England colonists that fled from England fled from the church, but the English that fled wanted to change the Church completely and the Spaniards were fleeing from the religious conflict between the Catholics and the Muslims. In the New England colonies, the colonists had Anglican beliefs. The colonists were split into mainly two groups, the Separatists and the Puritans. The Separatists wanted to split from the Roman Catholic Church (Anglican

The Harlem Renaissance was an event that started during World War One and lasted until the 1930’s. The Harlem Renaissance reshaped art, music, literature and theatre in the African American community. One debated during the Harlem Renaissance was whether folk art or high art best represented racial pride. Folk art best represents racial pride because it does not imitate other people’s art it shows the lives of everyday people, and people could relate to it.

Additionally, the struggle for religious dominance in England had unsurprisingly reared its head in the colonies as well (Schultz, 2009). When Lord Baltimore (Catholic) who was given proprietorship over Maryland for religious reasons, he realized the potential for violence due to religious differences, and he enacted the “Toleration act [in] 1649” (Schultz, 2009, p. 54). This act, albeit not an end-all for religious constraint, was a foundation for the rights of all colonist to worship in the manner of their choosing. However, constraint due to religious denomination was far from over in the New

The stench of sweat, vomit, feces, and blood was almost to much to bear. Although times were difficult at Valley Forge, I would have stayed as a soldier because I believed George Washington was a amazing leader, most of the fellow soldiers didn't lose their spirit, and I would be willing to die for freedom. To begin, I would have stayed because George Washington was on our side and he is a natural born leader. In Document B it showed George Washington taking his soldiers side, which means that he was helping them; he wasn't just doing what Congress told him to do. Washington had fought in the French and Indian war, so he was trained by the British, meaning he knew there battle strategies well, as Sun Tzu once said "know thy enemy" and he did.

Valley Forge, which was a difficult place to live, is where Washington and his Continental Army lived. During the harsh Revolutionary of December 1777-June 1778, many soldiers left, and many stayed loyal. If I had been a soldier in Washington’s army, would I have quit? No I wouldn’t have quit because only 15% of people died, there are people who show willingness, and because of the inspirational words of Thomas Paine.

After the Civil War, legislation was passed by Congress starting the reconstruction of the South. This reconstruction started in 1867 under the Reconstruction Act and ended in 1877 as part of the Compromise of 1877. Many people believed that a New South would form due to this reconstruction. This New South can be defined as a South that has completely abandoned all roots and traces of their past use of slavery and Confederate ideas. But, by 1900, the term “New South” did not become a reality, due to the continuation of an agricultural based economic system, the presence of blatant and widespread racism, and political views that greatly resembled pre-Civil war political views..

As the Protestant Reformation lead to oppression of outside opinions and beliefs, many peoples took this opportunity to start anew in colonial America. However, each region adopted a slightly different religion. For example, New England became a stable platform for Protestants. As the Church of England underwent radical changes, some Englishmen opposed these changes due to their striking similarities to Catholicism, and therefore sought a new religion, Protestantism (Foner p.64). In order to avoid oppression and discrimination of their new religion in England, many fled to America in hopes of seeking religious tolerance. Some settled in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania. Protestantism preached about the importance of sermons, equality, and even adopted John Calvin’s idea of pre-determined salvation (Foner p. 65). Winthrop and the first settlers of Massachusetts set up a Commission in which Puritan beliefs governed society. For example,

The settlers of New England felt that God had chosen them for this "special task". This is seen through an excerpt found in Articles of Agreement, Springfield, Massachusetts, 1636 in which it states, “We intend by God’s grace, as soon as we can, with all convenient speed, to procure some Godly and faithful minister with whom we purpose to join in church covenant to walk in all the ways of Christ.” Through this we are able to deduce that catholicism was extremely important in public life as the people were trying to spread the word of god as they viewed it as god’s will. As opposed to the New England settlements, the Chesapeake colonies kept their church and state affairs separate and tolerated all sorts of religious practices. This is evident within document ..“which states”...”

This document lays out objectives and goals of the New England region and targets their objectives to all the people who have the same beliefs and standard for society. A quote from document E is “ This court in the interim recommends [that] all tradesmen and laborers consider the religious end of their callings,which is that receiving such moderate profit as may enable them to serve God and their neighbors with their arts and trades comfortably,they do not enrich themselves suddenly and inordinately(by oppressing prices and wages to the impoverishing [of] their neighbors … Live in the practice of that crying sin of oppression,but avoid it. This quote shows that New England even put religion over the economy and wanted people to know that even over making money religion should still be the focus. This document was directed to all the community members of the New England region and to everyone making money so they wouldn't let making money prioritize over worshipping

How was Charlestown hard to settle ? Did you know that from 1670 to 1783, the city was known as Charlestown ? At the end of the American Revolution in 1783, the name was shortened to Charleston as we know today. Different tribes lived in the area before the English arrived.

Would you have quit? This question goes through the heads of each soldier that continues to fight for their independence. After two years of the revolution, the Congress created an army led by General George Washington. The withdraw from Boston and the retreat to New York City, however, made the Congress lose their trust towards Washington. Due to them believing whether or not he was leading the country to a victory or a grand retreat.

     Religion was a very important part of everyday life in colonial America. Sometimes people were not allowed to question what they were taught, and if they did so they were punished accordingly. Before 1700 some colonies had more religious freedom then others. While others colonies only allowed religious freedom to a select group, others allowed religious freedom to all different kinds of religions. In the overall there was quite a bit of religious freedom in colonial America

Many citizens in Williamsburg were Christian at the time. One of the points to settle in Virginia was to spread the Christian Religion. Many citizens in Williamsburg were Christian at the time. One of the points to settle in the new world was to spread the Christian religion. People in Williamsburg were treated differently if they did not support the Christian Religion. Everyone through all religions were forced to go to the Bruton Parish Church every Sunday to worship the Lord. Most people in England were Cristian so that’s why the main church in England was an Episcopal Cristian
