And both approached by the Indians.

    The landscape of America was shaped by religious and cultural differences long before the arrival and subsequent settlement of Europeans. In this "new world", the indigenous people were naturally separated in their language, landscape, cultural myths, and religious practices with no outside influence. As the Europeans arrived in the Americas, they thought little about the cultural and religious traditions of the peoples they encountered. In fact, the common belief during this period was that the indigenous communities had no culture or religion at all. During this "Age of Discovery", the first to arrive were the Spanish and French. Spanish conquistadors and French fur traders fought for land and wealth, while their missionaries competed to "save the souls" of the natives. It was during this period that the Spanish first encountered the Akimel…

    Both groups shared similarities in their strong religious practices, the Jamestown settlers made the proclamation that they were members of the Anglican Church, the official Church of England while the Pilgrims were opposition members of the Church of England and formed the Puritan or the Congregational Church. Although having such strong religious faith, both groups were stricken with disease, starvation, hunger, environmental hazards and conflicts with the Natives. Due their uncooperative lifestyle with each other, inexperience, unwillingness to work hard, and the lack of survival skills in the wilderness led to arguments, disagreements, and inaction at Jamestown. In addition, poor relationship with the Indians worsened their situation.…

    Jamestown and the Massachusetts Bay Colony had many similarities and differences. Many of these differences were due to their physical location and climatic conditions. The success of both colonies can be contributed to strong leadership and the characteristics of the personalities of the settlers that inhabited each settlement. Many of the early problems in both settlements can be contributed to a lack of knowledge on the parts of the settlers along with attacks from neighboring Native American tribes.…

    It is important to develop a clear thesis on the validity of the statement at the outset of the essay. A good essay could be developed on either side of the issue or in support of a middle-of –the-road position. Supporting paragraphs should be developed to build the position chosen. Both the Spanish and the English treated the Native Americans as inferiors, thought it important to bring them Christianity, sought to profit economically from relations with the Native Americans, and forced some Native Americans into slavery. Both brought terrible diseases to the New World, though the Spanish impact was more devastating because of earlier arrival. The Spanish attempted to integrate Native Americans into their colonial societies through intermarriage and through the establishment of agricultural communities with Native American workers. The English separated themselves from Native American life to a greater extent and relied mostly on trade for economic gain.…

    Spanish priests began to set up missions along the western coasts to encourage the Native Americans to adopt Christianity. English settlers, on the other hand, had planned from the very start of their expedition to stay in the New world. As England was facing overpopulation, famine, and a lack of jobs, many English immigrated to America with no other option. Southern states became rich in the cash crop business. Cotton, sugar, and tobacco grew easily in the southern states making any landowner an almost instant success. The northern states were not as lucky with the weather as such profitable crops were not as easily grown there but they were able to farm just for themselves, but found much needed work as traders, wage workers, and fishers.…

    - For the Spanish, their motives were economic and religion. They wanted to "Christianize Natives". They were mostly located in South America, Central America, and the West Indies. The British motives were only economical. They were located in North America and in the West Indies. The only type of people that were allowed to be with the Spanish were mostly only Catholics or you had to be from a noble family and you had to be homogenous. Anyone could be with the British. There were diverse races and the people were in Religious and Ethnic groups. The Spanish finances were based on Public/Crown Financed terms and for the British it was Joint Stock/Private terms. The Spanish had relations with exploited natives and they also believed in intermarrying with natives. They also believed in enslavement and they were associated with the Mestivo and they wanted to Christianize everyone. If you were not converted to Christian, you were killed. The British also had relations with exploited natives. They did not believe in intermarrying or enslavement. They did believe in Separation and Removal to the West. The Spanish government was highly centralized. There was less self-government. Governors were representatives of Crown- "Viceroys" There were no democratic traditions. The British government was decentralized and there was much more self-government. The British simply neglected to enforce or regulate. Democracy's seeds are planted. Economically, many Spanish had tried exploiting and going home-they did not posses the mind set to 'develop' as much as North Americans. Government regulation is in a form of regulation of emigration and trade. For the British, most settlers, stayed in New World and invested. The government stayed clear of economic activity for most…

    The colony survived the first winter which claimed many. The Pilgrims made changes to the landscape of New England. In the early 1630s a smallpox epidemic almost eliminated the Indian population surrounding Plymouth. Due to the depleting number of wild animals, the Pilgrims worked very hard to domesticate animals, such as horses, cattle and sheep. “The Pilgrims’ experience with the Indians was, for a time, very different from the experiences of the early English settlers farther south. That was in part because of the remaining natives in the region-their numbers thinned by disease-were significantly weaker than their southern neighbors and realized they had to get along with the Europeans. In the end, the survival and growth of the colony depended crucially on the assistance they received from natives.” (Brinkley 42) With the help of Indian friends Squanto and Samoset, they learned how to fish, cultivate corn, and hunt animals. Squanto was also a help in forming an alliance between the settlers and the Wampanoags. This alliance was…

    The difficult journey of the Pilgrims began when they left England for Leiden, Holland. At the time, King James required all citizens to follow the Church of England. However like many separatists of the time, the Pilgrims wanted to worship as they pleased (4). After many years in Holland, the Pilgrims decided that it was once again time to move. While Holland was religiously tolerant, the country required the Pilgrims to work difficult jobs that were hard on their bodies. In addition to health concerns, the Pilgrims were afraid that the younger members of their congregation were losing touch with their English heritage. They felt like embarking on a journey to the New World would let them establish a community with their own religion and English culture (17).…
