In the 1600’s, the New England colony devolved very rapidly. The political, economic, and social development of the colonies was highly influenced by the Puritans, who helped find most of the colonies in the region after emigrating there from England.

During the seventh century, Europeans established colonies in North America. The English colonies were originally established because proprietors from England were granted charters to settle and govern lands. Other European colonies were established around trading posts.

My perspective has changed entirely from two important influences on colonial America religion and slavery due to many reasons. The 1st reason is the battle for America which consist of European colonization of America. What I found Stop correcting "interesting" about these events was the war. France, British, Spain, Portugal were all battling for territory which the countries did what ever was necessary to gain territory, however the sad part was to gain the territory the Indians had to suffer the wrath of imperialism to the max extent. From my perspective it reminded what the Romans did to gain many providences. The second reason was slavery. Slavery was the secret ingredients that the countries used to conquer America, without the transportation…
Religion played a crucial part during colonial America, not only during the 18th Century but ever since colonist began settling from Britain. Churches were the center of colonial towns and often held the most local power regarding rules and regulations during the colonial period allowing them to keep peace within the colony. Those who were caught in opposition were tried and often banished from the colony, which further reinforced the churches influence on colonial life. As the colonies progressed into the 18th century, religion was still central in the lives of the colonist, but many ministers and church officials feared that they would lose influence on the people as new events and developments occurred, leading up to the Great Awakening. Although the primary goal of the Great Awakening was spiritual salvation, it affected more than just individual colonists. Liberty and inherent rights in the 18th century were established as a cause of religious movements, such as the Great Awakening, and ultimately led to decreased government influence on colonists.…

When William Penn founded Pennsylvania, his original intentions were for it to be a religious haven for English Quakers. One of these English Quakers to settle in Pennsylvania was Gabriel Thomas. As an early settler, he describes the extensive reasons to why many English came to the New World and the West Indies. Living in America was like paradise for a poor man. The resources were bountiful while the trade was tremendous. The discomfort one faced passing over the Atlantic to land in the New World dissolves because the difficulty was worth it all. The wages in the colonies were estimated to three time more than the wages in England. On top of that, the cost of land was far in comparison to the cost of land in England. Land was plentiful therefore cheaper. Thomas explains that the price of corn was more valuable for trade than Silver. The value of things seen in England as nothing helped the colonist become prosperous. With the Church of England and the Quakers having equality in government, colonist did not have to pay tithes and they lived in a society that allowed religious freedom. One of the most unbelieveable points Thomas does not fail to mention, is that due to the scarcity or women, Women’s wages are considerably high for their services. Washing, spinning, sewing were task performed by women during that time. Gabriel Thomas ends with compassion and sympathy of those poor men and women still back in England. Employment and opportunities being so ample in America, it is difficult to ever see a beggar on the streets.…

Religion in the New World exploded into the land with the colonization of thousands of immigrants. It played an important role in the development of thought in the West. Religion was one of the first concepts to spark the desires of people from other countries to emigrate to the new lands. While many religions blossomed on the American shores of the Atlantic, a basic structure held for most of them, being predominantly derived from Puritanism. Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement, showed the link the new settlers had to God when Sir Thomas Dale said the following in 1610:…
