Pros And Cons Of The First American Colonies

The Virginia and New England colonists struggled to adapt to the radically different conditions of their new environments. However, that is where the similarities between the two seem to end. Both colonies boasted different economies, political systems, societies and cultures, which place them at opposite ends of the colonial spectrum.

The Revolutionary War was fought by two sides, those being the British and the American colonists, fighting for whether the colonies would remain under British rule, or become their own independent country, and they both had advantages and disadvantages over the other. The Americans were eventually victorious, forming what is known today as the United States of America. It will be discussed in this essay just what advantages and disadvantages each side had, and how these played into the eventual outcome of victory for the colonists.

The American Revolution was a war of independence between 1775 and 1783 caused by a myriad of political, economic, social and religious disputes between British and American colonies. Political representation for colonists was put into question when economic factors such as taxes came into play. A major factor that drove reform during the American Revolution was the freedom of religion. People were being limited in their participation, were forced to pay taxes on the official church and had to obey church laws. Colonists began to fight against these restrictions and eventually gained rights for people of different religion and as a result of the American Revolution, religious minorities experienced benefits such as the liberty of religion

In the 1600’s those coming from the West Indies searching for land established a new colony south of Chesapeake. This colony was owned by the Lords Proprietors. To quickly populate the Carolina’s the Lords Proprietors offered large incentives attracting many colonists. These were things such as religious toleration, political representation, and large grants of land. With workers needed Carolina offered freedom dues; attracting many poor people that would work as indentured servants. As Carolina gained the common settlers and indentured servants the Lord Proprietors made sure to include great planters with large land grants and absolute power over their slaves. As the Lord Proprietors were in England they could not fully control Carolina. This was seen as men known as

After the Civil War, the United States struggled to keep up with other countries in the world. While figuring out how fix the corruption in the American government, the other countries were practicing imperialism. Imperialism is a policy by which strong nations extend their political, military, and economic control over weaker territories. Realizing that we needed to make a change, the United States started working towards the goal of practicing imperialism as well. To do this, our first few targets were Hawaii and Alaska. In 1867, we sought to buy Alaska because they had resources that we wanted, such as lumber and minerals. This was known as Seward’s Folly after the Secretary of State William Seward. In 1898, our desire of Hawaii was fulfilled when they agreed to annexation. However, this was not without struggle. King Kalakaua of Hawaii wanted the white planters to vote, but when he died, his sister, Queen Liliuokalani reversed his decision. She took away the power of whites, which eventually led to her being overthrown with the help of the United States Marines. The Hawaiian people opposed annexation, but when Mckinley became president, Hawaii was declared American territory. Sanford B. Doyle, a white plantation owner who asked for the annexation, became the first governor of Hawaii. This addition into American territory drastically influenced our economy.

In the seventeenth century, colonial America was categorized into three major regions; New England, the Middle Colonies, and the South. Each region provided various opportunities and breakthrough ideas that created a distinct economic, cultural, and political society different from any other region. These ideas became the beginning of some prominent themes and beliefs Americans see as essential in today’s society.

The founding father had a much different reason for rebelling against the British government. Colonists believed that the government was not protecting their rights as citizens, the taxation system was unfair, and their interests were not being properly represented in parliament. The colonies had peacefully petitioned King George 3, but he refused to give them representation. The British also had repeatedly ignored the need of the colonists.

For the people of Europe the Americas was a place to prosper, worship in there own way, and expand there kingdoms. The only problem is that they attempted to settle in their own way and all failed dismally. The New England, Mid-Atlantic and Southern Colonies grew differently in various ways, but each with the same state of mind, “do it our way”. Examining the three sets of colonies will prove that they were all different in religion, government, and ways of expansion.

Compare and contrast the major advantages and disadvantages of the British and the colonists as the Revolutionary War began. (strengths/weaknesses)

In the 1600s Early American cities functioned primarily as colonial outposts, which in turn established gateway cities to facilitate and create trading ties with their home country. Towns and cities in the former colonies were mainly linked to Europe through trans-Atlantic trade. From research i've gathered online: The late 1500s, Spain had established towns in West Florida and New Mexico.

The Massachusetts colony, otherwise known as the ‘Massachusetts Bay colony’ was originally settled by Puritans in 1630. They were plagued by the religious persecutions of King Charles I and the Church of England. Weary from this dogged torment, they left England under the leadership of John Winthrop. These original colonists quickly established many small towns in the name of high religious ideals and strict societal rules. They also planted churches, spread Puritanism and religiously educated the masses, as these were some of their goals. A utopian society that other colonies looked upon with high regards was the ultimate goal.

The American Revolution was a war fought between Great Britain and North America. The conflict started from growing issues between the people from the thirteen Great British colonies and the colonial government. Both, The American and British Army had advantages and disadvantages that contributed to a great outcome; The Treaty of Paris as a result to end the revolution in 1783.

The European conquest for establishing North American colonies began with various motivations, each dependent on different, and/or merging necessities: economics, the desire to flee negative societal aspects, and the search for religious freedoms. Originally discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 in search for a trade route to Cathay (China), North America remained uninhabited, excluding the Native American establishments. Following this discovery, Spain –along with other European nations such as France, England, Sweden and the Netherlands– soon began the expedition to the new land with vast expectations. Driven by economic, societal, and religious purposes, the New World developed into a diversely structured colonial establishment

If that's the case, you must seek help from an exterminators, so they can help you to get rid of these insects. But for now, what you can do to kill them is to find their colonies and make a DIY repellants then pour it on their colonies. Anyway, I have some tips in my sources below to help you with this problem.

Imperial powers must maintain the subjugated populaces religious framework while simultaneously imposing their own social and political guidelines. This general plan for controlling a colonized mass is most effective because tension primarily arises from colonizers misunderstanding and misclassifying indigenous populations religious behavior. If an empire were to never implicate itself in the personal pursuits of the indigenous person, there is less chance for ethnic strife and resentment of cultural cooption on the part of the conqueror. However, the public pursuits, specifically the economic pursuits, of the indigenous populace are realms in which the colonizer needs to exert some control. For that reason, all matters of government must come
