The Developing of New York City
New York City was founded in 1624, when the Dutch first settled along the Hudson river. Then about two years later, they established the colony of New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island. By the 1650’s there were about 1,000 people living in the area. Later on, in 1664 the English gained control of the area and renamed it, New York. New Amsterdam was renamed New York to honor the Duke of York and Albany, the brother of King Charles II.
New York, being one of the 13 colonies was definitely involved in the American Revolution (1775-1783). Some war sites during the revolution include; St. Paul’s Chapel, Federal Hall national museum, Fraunces Tavern Museum, Fort Tryon Park, Green-Wood Cemetery and many more. By the end of the war, NYC was the British base of command until it was over. During this time the population was approximately 25,000 people. These people include: English, Scots, Scots-Irish, Germans, Dutch, French, Spanish, and Puritans, they were all part of the first wave of immigration. Immigrants got here by boat because planes hadn’t been invented yet. To travel once they got to the city they either took the horse and buggy or had to travel by foot. By 1800, there were about 60,000 people living in New York City, it was still very rural at this time, but transportation and technology had improved tremendously due to the Industrial Revolution. Immigrants such as the English, Scots, Scots-Irish, Germans, British, Dutch, French, Spanish
With little money in their pockets and no idea of where they might stay, the search for jobs was desperate. However having thousands of immigrants arriving in NYC around the same time caused job opportunities to be limited. With no money, many were left homeless with no place to go but the streets of New York. Having people living on the streets caused overpopulation of the city and left the city dirty and dismantled. Along with the fall of the city the crime rate began to increase dramaticlly due to immigrants going to desperate measures to make money. When an immigrant was lucky enough to find a job they faced the challenge of language barrier, poor working conditions and low wages. These low wages could hardly afford to feed their families let alone provide a decent shelter. This created what would be known as the slums of New York City. The city was being filled with large apartment buildings that were run down and overpopulated with immigrants. Over population began creating conflicts between different ethnic groups throughout New York City. Eventually leading to the divison of the city into sections based on common ethnic backrounds. Nativism however would be a common problem as it increased because of hatred towards immigrants over such issues including the loss of opportunities for already settled natives to the area. To avoid this hatred many immigrants chose to take on other names or alter their own last name. Due to many families
The ACA establishes the Shared Savings Program in a new section 1899 of the Social Security Act. ACA § 3022 (codified at 42 U.S.C. § 1395jjj). The purpose of the program is to bend the health sector cost curve, and to facilitate coordination and cooperation between providers to improve quality for fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries. Eligible providers can (but are not mandated) to participate in the Shared Savings Program by creating or participating in an Accountable Care Organization (“ACO”).
In 1609, Henry Hudson accidentally discovered a river (known today as the Hudson River). And in 1624, the Dutch settled by the Hudson River. Peter Minuit founded New Amsterdam, in 1626. Finally in 1664, the colony surrendered to the English and was renamed to New York. New York was named after the king's brother, the Duke of York
New York was at the forefront of Judaism in America, and they were the ones who really began creating a large, stable community. Because New York was a very diverse society, it was easier for the Jews to blend in and grow their own society. Originally when New York was owned by the Dutch, the Jews were only accepted because they would be helpful economically, even though the other citizens protested their arrival. However, once the British took over, the Jews became a true part of the society and were able to build public, synagogue based communities. Over time, they grow drastically into the biggest Jewish community, and were the basis for the rest of Jewish development across
Today, New York City is the most populated city in the United States. New York City, NYC, is made up of five boroughs including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. Ellis Island, the first immigration station, and the statue of liberty are both located in New York. Immigrants went for more freedom in the 1800s and for economic and other opportunities back then and even now. Since NYC is such a large city, there are more job opportunities which draws people to the city. Also, there are an abundance of attractions and much more cultural diversity. All of these factors contribute to the reason the population is a whopping 8.538 million people!
Have you ever visited New York? Have you ever wondered about what it was like to live there when it was a colony? There are many facts that helped to shape New York to what it is. There are a few facts that are very important to how New York has evolved into the great city it is. For one it was founded in 1624 and was called New Netherland. Also later in time New Jersey split off from New York. These are just a few of the many facts about the New York Colony. New York is an interesting colony with a lot of history behind it.
In the early 1800s a massive influx of immigrants from Germany, Ireland, and Great Britain poured into the US. These immigrants stayed near where they docked -- New England. They also mainly became factory workers. The north's population was greatly increasing
With the American Revolution in full effect, people would begin to leave the city, in fear of the British. As the population dwindled from “twenty-five thousand to barely five thousand people” (New York: An Illustrated History), the city would become unrecognizable leaving nothing left but ruins and military bases. Little by little, the British would begin to withdraw themselves from the war, until November 25, when the British commander would surrender. Even with the city destroyed, that would not stop New York from recovering at a “remarkable speed”, bringing back the population by double.
For instance, 20,000 Puritans from England immigrated between 1629 and 1640 in what is called the Great Migration and settled mostly in New England, but later moved to New York and the upper Midwest. New York and New Jersey were once called the New Netherlands because New York and New Jersey 8,000 Dutchmen settled there between 1609 and 1664. The last important colonial immigration was of 250,000 Scotch-Irish from Ulster between 1710 and 1775 who settled mostly in western Pennsylvania, Appalachia, and the western frontier. [3]
Santiago's Fight with the Marlin illustrates that determination blinds people to reality, humility proves that people appreciate the things they have, and independence proves separation creates loneliness and desperation. Santiago's fight for wealth and pride proves that determination blinds a person to the practical realities of life. After Santiago had been holding the line for a long time now his was cramping up. He says to his hand, “what kind of hand is that,...
In the late 1800s , America became the land of new opportunities and new beginnings and New York City became the first landmark for immigrants. New York City was home to Ellis Island, the area in which migrants were to be handed for freedom to enter the nation. Living in New York City gave work and availability to ports. In time the city gave the chance to outsider's to construct groups with individuals from their nation , they were classified as new and old settlers. Old outsiders included Germans, Irish and, English. The new outsiders incorporated those from Italy, Russia, Poland and Austria-Hungary. In 1875, the New York City populace was a little 1 million individuals contrasted with the 3,5 million it held when the new century
We live in a world controlled by an invisible yet very present force that shapes the way we live our daily lives. With industry as its host and technology as the blood being pumped into its heart, it is a force powerful enough to bend politics to fit its needs. Capitalism; a method of industry where production and distribution are privately or corporately owned, its operation grows through profits, exploitation of labor, and extinguishing competition. During the Industrial Revolution technology was on the global stage. Factories and machines are built in existing cities producing and distributing mass goods on a global scale. Over time this fast production of goods would replace the old agricultural economy to a modern urban economy. Today the revolution is praised for creating a global trade market while surging us into a world of technology.
The Netherlands permitted so many non-Dutch to settle there, because few Danes desired to leave their country. Thus the Dutch East India Company recruited settlers from a number of European countries and transported African slaves. In 1664 the British seized New Amsterdam and renamed it New York, the city retained its remarkable mix of people. It is only fitting that New York would become the most diverse city in the world.
New York City is the largest and one of the oldest cities in the United States, having been 'rediscovered' by Henry Hudson in 1609 while working for the Dutch East Indies Company. New Amsterdam, as it was then known, was settled in 1614 by Dutch fur traders and became the most important port in America. (Reed, 2011) The two rivers flowing on each side of Manhattan grant easy access to the ocean, and Henry Hudson remarked that the harbor was the best natural harbor he had ever seen in the world. For hundreds of years the city has been at the epicenter of world trade, and immigration to the new world. Millions of immigrants have filled the streets of New York, from Europe, Africa, South America, Asia, and elsewhere.
The human development is a life long process that shapes and forms the manner in which a person is molded into the individual that he or she becomes during and at the end of their being. There are several stages of life where the person learns and or is instructed to become that will affect how they interact positively or negatively with the world and those people in it. This paper will focus on the stage that is described as Middle Childhood, during the age span of six to twelve years of age. This paper will also touch on aspects of the older age range considered to be Early Adolescence. During these stages of life, the person is incredibly shaped by the parent or parents’ expectations that are set on the child/children parents beliefs of
