St. Charles Cultural Background

When Europeans encountered the Native Americans, the encounter was fraught with difficulties for both sides, for the Native Americans more so than the Europeans. Europeans conquered the Native Americans, forced them into labor, and spread diseases which the Native Americans had no resistance to. In addition to this the Europeans considered themselves superior to the Native Americans. Despite this, the Europeans and Native Americans, both had things the other wanted and so they often engaged in trade with each other. However, the Native Americans thought that, despite not having the luxuries the Europeans had, they were better off than the Europeans. This sentiment is exemplified in “Your People Live Only Upon Cod” by French priest Chrestian LeClerq who was traveling with the Micmac Indians. It is a documented response by an unknown Micmac leader to European, particularly French, claims of superiority. In analyzing this document, we will find that the cultures of the French and the Micmac were vastly different. We will also discover what the Micmac and the French thought of each other.

The image of St. Nicholas has been distorted throughout time and it is important to determine who St. Nicholas really was to best understand his current personification. Many of the realities of St. Nicholas’ story have been twisted by stories that make learning about St. Nicholas difficult. Though his real life is often overlooked and forgotten because of his personification as Santa Claus today he still led an important and honorable life. The historically accurate story of St. Nicholas is very important because it greatly affected the culture. St. Nicholas’ real story can be best seen by examining his young life, and memorable works during his time as a Bishop.

I picked the Chinook tribe, which is a northwestern tribe located around the columbian river, or today's Washington and Oregon. The land and climate really defined how the Chinook people lived and is why it’s defined as a folk culture. The Chinook tribe is around large forests that the tribe uses to build canoes and large houses. The Chinook tribe would build these large houses and many people could live inside, these houses were made out of red cedar a tree that was very abundant in the area. The Climate where the Chinook tribe located was very harsh but easy at times. The climate existed of very rainy seasons with very hot seasons that defined what the Chinook tribe would wear. The Chinook tribe would wear little to nothing on the hot

During the 1600's many colonies in North America was beginning to form. Geography such as where ports where and assessable to westward lands helped in the shaping of these British colonies.

Exploration was a huge part of the 1600’s. A ton of countries competed to try to claim land in the new world. Lots of countries tried to claim land but in South Carolina, but failed because of its geography, resources, and diseases. When South Carolina was finally claimed the settlers had to face the difficulties of settling there.

During the 1700’s, European nations colonized in the newly discovered Americas. Two regions evolved by the English settlers into New England colony and the Chesapeake Bay colony. Even though they were coming from England with the same ethnicity, they were significantly different from the way the colonies were set up. These differences stemmed from the reason why the settlers decided to come to the new world. Later on the two regions developed to have distinct societies.

During the years starting from the colonial period which was from 1492 to 1763 through the end of the civil war North experienced significant changes in many aspects of its society. One of these included advancements in transportation, technology and even the economic fields experienced significant changes. These changes would help to shape different areas of America is a variety of ways.

Have you ever wondered why Charles Town was very difficult to settle? Well for starters the three reasons which were geographical issues, dangerous wildlife/lack of resources and diseases. Settlers from Great Britain came to South Carolina in the late 1600s. Settling is when you’re adapting to a new location, and start living there. Charles Town was difficult because of the three reason which were geographical issues, dangerous wildlife and diseases.

Factors that led to the distinguishable societies and colonies of New England and Chesapeake in the 17th and 18th centuries, in spite of being settled by the same English immigrants are locations chosen, motives for coming to North America, laws and companies, and how relations with Native Americans.

The first explorers of modern-day South Carolina were the Spanish. The first successful settlement made there by the was led by Lucas Vazquez de Ayllón, but there settlement did not last because of the bad weather, shortage of food and hostility of the natives. Later on in 1292 King Charles I gave Sir Robert Heath grant to settle in the area below the Virginia colony. Although his attempt to settle was not successful it sparked the British’s interest in the area. The attempt was later renewed in 1663 by King Charles II who awarded Eight loyal supporters a charter to start a colony in Carolina, these men were given the title Lord Proprietors. Their colony was succesfull but relied on their relationship with the natives.

How difficult was settling a new home? The British explorers settle in the Carolinas in a town called Charles Town named after the king Charles the 2nd. There was many difficulties settling in Charles Town. One of the difficulties was the geography. The other is resources and the last is disease.The British didn’t know to much about the geography of Carolina so they didn’t know what to expect.Charles Town might of had many resources except land so there was no space to plant food.Also when they arrived there was a lot of disease but the main one in Charles Town was smallpox.

the people of Charles Town didn’t have such a smooth move, In the settling of Charles Town the cartographer, had many problems just making the map of Charles Town, one of the obstacles was Natives, most Natives ruled over the land, making it difficult to make the map, and to settle. And the rough swamplands around Charles Town made it harder to make the map, why was Charles Town so difficult to settle in? Because of it’s geography, resources and diseases.

Eighty-per cent of the population of New France lived in rural areas that was governed by this system of land distribution and occupation (Mathieu). The geographical pattern of the seigneurie is shaped and imposed by the waterway; parallel lines perpendicular to the frontage are drawn, which gives the seigneuries the shape of narrow rectangles (Trudel 3-4). As the distribution of land follows a systemized succession, settlers are unable to take up isolated lots or survey lots as they wished. The ordered progression is usually “lot-by-lot along the St. Lawrence and then, when the riverfront in a given seigneurie was allocated, in fairly ordered rows behind” (Harris 74). The division of land into river lots, referred a “cadastral system,” was employed at the beginning of Canadian settlement and remained the Canadian norm throughout the French regime. This practice had been used in medieval colonization schemes when it was introduced from Normandy (Harris 74). The land which was divided in a particular way (i.e. in long, narrow rectangular strips of land) provided many advantages for the people living in the area. The strips of land were “well adapted to the local terrain” (Mathieu) as they simplified the interaction between neighbours; families were able to live on their own farms and had easy access to the

The Stag’s Head, in Oshawa, Ontario, serves traditional pub grub with global inspiration in its relaxing and welcoming eatery. The Canadian-classic poutine, fries topped with cheese and gravy and the spinach dip blended with four cheeses, onions and spices served with corn chips, both of which make delicious starts to your meal.

“New France was not merely the settlement of a few fur traders.” The Acadians were “a pastoral-like people who once formed a proud nation in a land called Acadia.” Although falling under the jurisdiction of “New France,” the Acadians governed separately than the rest of the country and were an independent entity within New France. Today, “the Acadians are the French speaking population of the Canadian Maritime provinces,” and these are the Acadians that were not displaced during the expulsions, under British rule. Acadia’s beginnings, with the construction of Port Royal, could have marked the colony for success, but instead, led to a troubling conclusion for the European descendents. Through failed leadership, two
