Were The Americas Discovered Or Were They Conquered?

Compare the ways in which religion shaped the development of colonial society (to 1740) in TWO of the following regions: New England

Both the Chesapeake colonies and the New England colonies had different social structure and development. Because the colony was founded for gold the Chesapeake colony was primarily men that could work. (Doc C.)The colonists of the Chesapeake even had to sign oaths of allegiances to the Church of England. (Doc C.) The colony was under the rule of England and was to help support England finically. When they arrived they even sign their own contracts such as the Articles of Agreement, Springfield, Massachusetts, 1636. (Doc D.) This caused England to have a foothold in their colonies, and then under them were Clergy, free white men, the few women, servants, and slaves. The Chesapeake colonies had servants and slaves, servants could work their way of servant hood, for example they might work seven years and then become free. The Chesapeake colony also had slaves because its economy was based on cash crop plantations, most of these slaves came from Africa and was the beginning of the Slave Trade. These types of people were primarily dominant in this colony because it was founded as a working colony and had no need for families, just men that could work. This was very

The New England colonies vs. the Chesapeake colonies had many differences in there economical make-up, as far as their economic activities and the diversity of the economies. The New England society had a very diverse economy as far as their activities go. Some economic activities included small farms, livestock,

There was lots of differences between the development of the southern and New England colonies, one of these differences is the local

During colonial times, European nations quickly colonized the New World years after Columbus’ so called discovery. England in particular sent out a number of groups to the east coast of the New World to two regions. These areas were the New England and the Chesapeake regions. Later in the late 1700s, these two regions would go though many conflicts to come together as one nation. Yet, way before that would occur; these two areas developed into two distinct societies. These differences affected the colonies socially, economically, and politically.

Explain the four major types of British colonial communities that developed by the middle of the 18th century. Talk about the economic, political, and social characteristics that made each community that made each community unique.

When the English settled into the New World, they were split up into two sections, the Chesapeake region and the New England region. Although the English settled both, the two regions were severely different from each other when they were brought about. The New England and Chesapeake colonies differed in three ways: their reason for venturing over, economy, and population. These major differences were what shaped our nation today and what will continue shaping our nation in the future.

Have you ever wondered how you got to where you are sitting today, or how your parents came to live where they are living? Have you ever wondered how your great ancestors got to America? Our ancestors paved the way to this country that we call home. They believed that the American expansion was inevitable and predestined by God to happen. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of religion on Manifest Destiny, the relocation of the Native Americans, and the acquisition of land from East to West coast.

The people in the original thirteen colonies learned to be self-reliant. The British Empire treated them as one might treat a pet. The Americans tended to their own problems, usually without help from the British. One of the possible reasons America wanted to leave the English control was because England was so far away. There were restrictions that the English placed on the colonies, like every other country under the British Empire. However, the colonies thought these restrictions were unfair and unjust. (Bober 114)

The Europeans originally believed that the only people in America were a few random tribes. However, the Americas were very populated. I never

*Discuss the various ways in which domestic political affairs in Britain affected colonization in the New World.

The age old question of who discovered America first has been debated over for uncountable years now. Throughout history, innumerable people have been given the credit as being the first to arrive, or discover, America over the time span of hundreds of years. A few theories of who discovered America are Leaf Erikson, Native Americans, China, and surprises Muslims. All of these people, nation, or group of religion, have been justified or thought of to have arrived, lived, or landed in America before Christopher Columbus even thought about sailing.

Some of the views that most Americans believe to be true about how the peoples settled North American is simply not true. Is this because of what we believed to be true in our younger years in history classes? Think about it, how many western movies or TV series have you watched and found yourself believing everything it portrays about cowboys and Indians? Most of it is just a myth. It is up to us to research the real truth behind it all, not base our beliefs on some movie or what someone else believes to be true. An example of the mythology: Christopher Columbus did not discover America. I found myself to believe that for many years. “Though he did not really “discover” the New World–millions of people already lived there–his journeys marked the beginning of centuries of trans-Atlantic conquest and colonization.” (A&E Television Networks, LLC, 2015)

The first true people to discover America were the many ancient nomads who crossed over the Bearing land bridge connecting Siberia to Alaska some 20,000 years ago. They crossed and traveled over 16,000 miles and inhabited North America. These were the first “Native Americans”. Fast forward to about 500 years ago when the Spanish, the French, and the British first discovered the new land and sent parties to explore it. But when they did they found many Native American tribes. Some were treated fairly and made peace with, while others were slaughtered, sold into slavery, and some even completely wiped out.

However, I would contend that throughout the gradual colonial expansion of the English and later (from 1707) British Empire – at least up until the era discussed here – there was a fluctuation between more or less centralized control, and more or less efforts to centralize control, on behalf of either Crown or
