and violence. In order for the British colonies to maintain this paradigm, the Natives were forced to sign treaties that held provisions such as the Half Breed Tract. The Half Breed Tract essentially said a piece of land (about 119,000 acres) was being set aside for mixed marriage families. The families that lived there could not buy or sell the land. The colonists came looking for a new world when they found the natives. They then decided to build a colony and settle. Many colonists kept a diary

the British. Sometimes colonies were successful, and sometimes they didn’t last long at all. There were not only the differences in terms of failing or succeeding, but differences in terms of how the successful colonies succeeded. Two of the most successful colonies were established and developed in totally different ways. The difference in the successful development of the colonies in the Chesapeake region was totally different than the successful development of the colonies in the New England region

learned in their early Jamestown experiences. John Smith was like a director for the colonies, He had guided the colonies through survival by having the colonist learn how to farm and by the help of the local Powhatan. Later on Smith was going to return to England due to injuries,as a result of this the colonies were lost, without the leadership of John Smith the colonies deteriorated to the point of famine. The colonies were saved through high profitable crops known as Tobacco, which required load of

settlements. With many similarities these two colonies were alike overall. However, their smaller differences set them apart in a variety of ways. 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,

Although the colony was near water and had a good location for shipping goods, it was surrounded by a swamp and stagnant water. This allowed disease to run rampant. Jamestown only lasted until 1700 when its settlers abandoned it, and moved Williamsburg. The colonist’s primary objective, as mentioned before, was to make money, and also try and drive out Spanish colonies. None of the colonists concentrated on survival and focused on their search

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.

detest colonialism. And I fear the consequences of their last bitter struggle for life. We are determined, that our nation, and the world as a whole, shall not be the play thing of one small corner of the world.” Looking back in our history, American, English, European, we see time and time again the imperialistic and colonialist ways of our ancestry. France colonializing Vietnam, the Dutch imperializing South Africa, and England colonializing Native America are just a handful of times we see these two

many colonists died in Jamestown because of: their environment, insufficient supplies and calamities that occurred to them during their travels or while they were staying in the colony. The colonists’ environment affected their population because of how much they needed this resource: water. In document A it states, “English colonists dug shallow wells to supply themselves with sources of drinking water, but these were vulnerable to drought and salt water intrusion.”. The colonists needed these sources

“Frankenmuth”. “Franken” is for the Province of Franconia in the Bavarian Kingdom, and the word “Muth” which means courage. Therefore the city name Frankenmuth means “courage of the Franconians” was formed. Thirteen people volunteered to form the first colony. They consisted mostly of farmers from the area around Neuendettelsau (eight were from Rosstal). Loehe also selected Pastor August Craemer, a graduate of Erlangen University. In 1844, he was teaching German at Oxford in England, as training to be

hold their own as a group of colonies, but not without vast intellectual and economic innovation and progress to overcome the disasters of famine, weather, and the wild nature of the American continent. Colonial America saw these dangers and knew there was a need for a system to gather the most food and provide the most work; that system came to be known as capitalism after socialist-like communes failed their colonies. It is important to understand where American colonies started during their settlement
