Colony

settlements were slightly different as well. Both colonies changed political systems and powers throughout their lifetimes- sometimes the change was necessary, other times it was for the benefit of those in power, others due to the protest of the colonists. Of course, both of these colonies went through different systems as they changed, being in different situations. Jamestown first was founded with the Virginia Company supporting it, and having multiple colony leaders in charge of the other colonists.

In the short story, In the Penal Colony by Franz Kafka, we are introduced to a horrible device that is used to torture and execute prisoners. This apparatus does this by repeatedly writing the word of the law that the condemned person had broken into their flesh like a bizarre tattoo artist made of pain and blood. It is both sickening and fascinating to read the account of how this machine operates from the character named the Officer as he describes in gross details just what this monster of metal

between each colony. All the colonies have three important aspects in common. Religion, disease, and a strong loyalness for their King. The Plymouth Colony was very religious throughout the document it stated that there shall be peace because the Lord commands it and also it brings about a strong colony. Even in times of hardship the Plymouth Plantation believed in God to get them through and that if they worked peacefully with each other God would take care of them. The Plymouth Colony also went through

14. Roger Williams • Living in the MA Bay colony, this minister believed the Puritans needed to form a break from the Church of England, as well as a break between government and Church. He also believed the taking of Indian land without proper compensation was immoral. He was banished in 1635. By 1636, he had traveled to Rhode Island. He built a Baptist Church in Providence (most likely the first Baptist Church in America). He founded Rhode Island as a place for ANYONE to worship freely in, and

Virginia, there were the wealthy farmers and the poor slaves. There were very few middle class citizens. The main source of income for the Chesapeake region was trade and distribution of tobacco. Still lacking a substantial amount of females, the colony did not expand as fast as it potentially could have. New England lacked a significant social gap. Mostly everyone was middle class with the exception of a very few. While New England was able to have some type of agriculture, they relied mostly on

Another component comparing Jamestown and Plymouth colonies would be their aspects on Indian relations. The English colonists arrived in Chesapeake Bay where the Powhatan Indians had been calling home for quite some time. There were over thirty Indian tribes totaling 14,000 Indians. This is where the first colony, Jamestown, was settled in 1607. I believe this created a lot of tension between the Indians and the new settlers considering the previous settling and attacks of the Spanish on the Indians

or New England region, the Middle Colonies and the Southern Colonies. The regions had different climate, geography, population, politics, economy and religion. Within each region the way they lived, worked, worshipped and did business was different. The North or New England Colonies consisted of states such as New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The Middle Colonies consisted of states such as New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Southern Colonies consisted of states such as Virginia

”The former colonies, have a better chance than ever before to overcome centuries of subjugation, violence and foreign intervention, which they have so far survived as dependencies with islands of luxury in a sea of misery” (Chomsky).Colonies are established depending on who and how one shapes their colony. Colonies can either be worthy or unworthy. There were two different men who established colonies. One colony was Jamestown and the other was Plymouth. These two colonies were established two different

seventeenth century, Europeans established colonies in North America. The English colonies were originally established because proprietors from England were granted charters to govern lands. Other European colonies were established around trading posts. Over time, the English gained control of the thirteen colonies through force or purchase; eventually, the regions were known as the Southern, Middle, and New England Colonies. Although both New England and Southern colonies share several commonalities, they

differences between the Southern colony and the New England colony and how each labor systems worked. The Southern and Northern colonies differences were obvious in their regions. The differences that I will discuss will be the religious choices, governing, and economy. I will compare the many beliefs on how things were to be governed and who made those decisions for the good of the colony and their economic status. Religion: There were four original colonies of New England: New Hampshire, Massachusetts
