The Similarities Between New England And Southern Colonies

The New England, Middle, and Southern colonies, although different, were all fueled by the colonists’ desire to provide better lives for themselves. The majority of the colonists used the agricultural technological exchange to get ahead of neighboring countries. The New England, Middle, and Southern colonies were centered around varying religions and economies but shared a common goal of success in the New World. This essay will highlight the major differences and similarities between the three regions of English colonization, key personalities and Indian relations throughout the regions, as well as economic institutions, religious impact and political progress. The three regions shared values that benefitted them greatly.

While they had no official ally, they accepted bribes from both sides and profited. Additionally, in this first section of the chapter, the author informs the reader that Patriots took utilized Indian raids as propaganda opportunities to urge colonial unity. Even if the raids were carried out without British assistance, clever authors spun the stories to blame the mother country for the deaths of innocent Americans. By 1777, the British recognized that allying with the Natives was in their best interests and encouraged all tribes to raid Patriot settlements. The southern Indian nations hesitated, due to the recent defeat of the Cherokee in Georgia, but most of the northern nations agreed. Most Native American leaders thought the British would win the war and maintain trade relations with them. Additionally, the Indians wanted to regain the land they had lost to the colonists. Other Indians, however, saw the British as “the lesser of two evils”. Taylor writes that some saw the manipulative tendencies of the British and the fact that their strategies endangered Natives more than their own

On the other hand, Native Americans decided to fight on the side of the British because they taught it might mean a victory in expansion. Similarly, there were Native Americans fought on the American side as well because they wanted to help the Americans at the Battles of Fort George and Chippewa (Fixico, para. 2). According to Fixico, There were Indians who sided with the Americans -- Red Jacket and Farmer’s Brother led a Seneca faction to help the Americans at the Battles of Fort George and Chippewa. But most Indian nations sided with the British against the U.S, believing that a British victory might mean an end to expansion. Although the Americans went to war with the British because the Americans thought that the British were being unfair because they were unfairly taxing the Americans to pay of their debts and the Americans just wanted freedom, the Native Americans and the Americans fought because the Natives thought

Between 1492 and around 1735, Europe colonized in the Americas in order to gain more land. However, it was not due to excessive population in Europe, but rather mercantilism. In mercantilism, countries try to gain as much wealth as possible by increasing export and decreasing import. Europeans established the American colonies for their resources and not for the expansion of the countries. In North America, England colonized the eastern coast for its lumber, iron ore, and cash crops. The colonies were split into three sections, New England, the Middle Colonies, and Southern Colonies. Each had its own economy. In each of the colonies, the resources were gathered and turned into other products. However, there were not enough settlers willing to do this so the landowners used slavery to harvest and refine goods.

There are many similarities between the middle and southern colonies. For example, both the middle and the southern colonies had religious freedom which meant that people could practice any religion that they chose to follow. Many immigrants from other countries came to live in the colonies because of the religious freedoms promised to them. Secondly, the southern and middle colonies also grew cash crops. Cash crops are crops that were grown and sold for money instead of growing them for their family to eat throughout

Alliances made it so that the war was not fought between solely the Indians on one side and the Pilgrims on the other, but instead a mix of Pilgrims and Indians against Indians. First, the main Indian alliances were between the Pokanokets (and Philip) and the Pocassets, Nemaskets, Nipmucks, and the Narragansetts. Other Indian tribes, the Sakonnets, Massachusetts, and the Mohegans, had strong ties with the English and sided with them. To the English, these alliances did nothing to heighten their opinion of the Indians, but instead were just easier ways to win the war as the Indian warriors that fought with the English knew their way around the area and knew the fighting techniques of the other Indians. To the Indians, these alliances were life or death, and broke many barriers, such as with the Narragansetts and the Pokanokets, who were traditionally enemies. Philip, “following in his father’s footsteps”, made an alliance with a European power “to strengthen his decimated tribe”- France (284). This alliance gave Philip more warriors, gunpowder, and supplies and allowed him to continue fighting the English. Alliances during this war broke through racial barriers, as Indians worked together with English and French, but also destroyed loyalties that had been present between Indian tribes before the Europeans arrived. Without new alliances, the King

Indians are getting payback. Yet another war has broken out yesterday Friday, March 22, 1622 in the English colony of Virginia. Officials have reported that about two weeks before this massacre English settlers killed a leading Powhatan warrior. We believe this could have contributed to this crazy event.

War divided up the Native American Loyalties with the French Colonist in Canada and the English Colonist in the middle colonies and New England. The Indian assaults and French forces proved that the colonial militias were unable to provide real frontier protection. While Sir William Phip’s 1690s expedition began with initial success into New France; the expedition ultimately failed in the attempt to take Quebec. It did represent the cooperation between English colonies in effect to provide a stronger defense. The ‘tedious war’ continued till 1697, when both sides were exhausted. the Treaty of Ryswick returned conditions in North America to pre-war

King Philip’s War was the most highly destructive and damaging conflict between the Native Americans and the colonists in New England. An alternative names for this war is Metacom’s War or Metacom’s Rebellion named after the Native American’s leader King Philip. The conflict began on June 1675, and roughly ends around August of 1676. This war represent the last movement to push the English settlers back to their original land.

The war for the Native Americans was going on long before the colonists decided to fight for their rights and eventually their independence from Britain. There was

In the midst of an American Revolution founded upon principles of liberty and justice for all men, Native Americans joined both sides of the war with hopes of securing their own safety and freedom. In the end, the U.S. Revolutionary War caused economic downturn and civil strife among native communities, ultimately making Indian territory a vulnerable target for westward expansion.

The American colonists fought for liberty, self-sustainment, and freedom for tyranny of an overbearing ruler thousands of miles away. Prior to earning their independence, the American colonists relied heavily on British rule, their armies, and abilities to overthrow existing land owners. Right or wrong, the British overthrew the American Indians during the French and Indian war. Many British resources were used to vacate the land owners and were extremely vocal about the lack of support they received from the colonists. Over time,

This was in fact one of the most Deadliest and Bloodiest War in U.S History. This war was fought between the Puritans and the Indians, beginning in Plymouth and slowly cascading down to CT, MA, and Rhode Island. The Indian Alliances were Narragansetts, Nipmucks, and the Wampanoags. This short but Deadly war began June 1675 - Aug 1676. The causes of this war made it especially susceptible to causing a war. Massasoit was the first to encounter with the Pilgrims. He didn’t come with anger or discomfort, he came to make peace and came to connect the Pilgrims and the Natives. At first tension started to rise between the Pilgrims and the Indians over land and Cattle Grazing where english had cattle that would trample the Indians corn, so the Indians killed their Cattle. They also argued about fishing rights and places. After Massasoit died in 1661, things got messy, because he was the only one who was keeping things together for the Indians and the English. Wamsutta, his older son, took power. But unfortunately after a meeting with the English, he died and the Indians thought it was the fault of the English causing more problems to come between them. So Metacomet (Philip) became leader. In 1671, the Indians knew that war was going to happen, so they returned all the weapons back to the Indians in the village. In the summer of 1675, a praying Indian is killed by 3 Indians sent by Metacomet. John Sassamon, Told the leaders of Plymouth that the Leaders of the Indians was coming for you. After this the war started. As a result of this war, Metacomet was chopped up into pieces and his head was stuck on a pike and placed in front of Plymouth. Connecticut got off easy without that much damage, but Plymouth was not so lucky. There was no more Indian resistance. The King was hurt and took control of Plymouth and it became a royal colony ruled by the Monarchy later deployd “The Dominion of New

In the 1750’s the American colonies were still under the oppressive ruling of Great Britain. While the British had a desire to expand their colonies, they ran into trouble with the French and Native Americans. Both countries had expanded their trading areas, which now overlapped one another. This marked the beginning of the French and Indian War. The French and their allied Native Americans were now at war with Great Britain and its allies. The British found themselves losing the first

In the seventeenth century, war between the Indians and the Europeans was common. In 1622, a group of European vigilantes were frustrated when the Indians tried to wipe out the colony of Jamestown and they destroyed the Indians of Pamunkey. There were intermittent warfare which plagued New York. Subsequent attacks on English settlements in New England by Indians in 1675-1676 led to a concerted reaction from the confederation of New England. Using the scorched-earth policy and Indian auxiliaries, Wampanoags, Narragansetts, and Nipmucks were nearly exterminated by the colonists (Schake, 2013). The imperial rivalry among England, Spain and France has Indians as the key factor. The French employed Mohawk and Abnaki
