    The New England Colonists highly valued religion and rules. Some well known colonists are the Pilgrims. The Pilgrims came to the New England Colonies for freedom of religion. They believed that the Church of England had gone to far beyond Christ’s teachings. There way of dealing with serious crimes was execution. The lesser crimes were handled with fines. There was one law on guns, if you did not bring a loaded gun to church you were fined 12 shillings. The church building itself had no significance to the Pilgrims, and was usually called simply the "meetingplace" or "meetinghouse". The meetinghouse was kept drab, and had no religious icons. The pastor was not essential to the church. Another well known group of colonists are the Puritans.…

    At the beginning of the Columbian Exchange, native Americans were weakened by disease brought by the conquerors, reducing their population by millions. It would have been impossible, in such a short amount of time, for the conquerors to subdue millions of people with only hundreds of soldiers, even with their horses and guns, unless natives were somehow weakened. It is because of this that J.R. McNeill (n.d.) stated, “By far the most dramatic and devastating impact of the Columbian Exchange followed the introduction of new diseases into the Americas.” Diseases like smallpox, typhus fever, or measles, among many others, were the silent monsters that almost completely annihilate American native populations. Two examples of the destructive nature…

European introduced various crops such as wheat, sugar, rice, coffee, and beans to the Native Americans. These crops were not originally found in the New World. In addition to the crops, Europeans also brought over horses, cows, and pigs. However, the New World provided the Old World with new crops as well; they provided corn, potatoes, and cocoa plants.

    Around the 1870s, the government handed out ration of food to Indians. Native Americans were not able to freely do anything during Western Expansion because they were only allowed to be in the reservations. They were not able to hunt or farm so the government distributed food to them. Native Americans were not able to hunt anymore because all of the buffalo were gone due to the settlers. Their reservations were poor land with no rich soil to farm. The Native Americans couldn’t supply no more food to their tribes so they had no choice but to accept the food rations from the government.…

    During the late 19th Century, people believed that the Native Americans would not adapt to modernity and die out. Those people were wrong. The Native Americans not only adapted but they survived and endured everything life had to throw at them. The United States Government made life quite hard for the Indians in many ways. The United States expanded its territory in the early 19th Century to the Mississippi River. Due to the Gadsden purchase, this led to US control of the borderlands of Arizona and southern New Mexico, along with authority over Oregon country, Texas and California. During 1830 and 1860 America continued to expand, nearly doubling in size. Settlers began building their lives in the Great Plains along with other parts of the…

    The colonists’ policy toward the Native Americans had different origins and therefore different consequences. Much has been written about the encounter of these two cultures, which would sooner or later bring about a painful clash. Because of their so different cultures, only one would prevail. The colonists as a group, depending on their beliefs, had harsh policy toward Native Americans. Native Americans, on the other hand, structured their lives on beliefs, which had no common base ground with the colonists. As a clear example of this, Native Americans believed that no one owned the land, that the rich earth was abundant for all. As the colonies populated, harsher policies toward Native Americans arose, and the conflicts between the colonists…

    The development of Native American civilizations in the New World differed from those in the Old World because they did not have the resources transport and communicate like the Old World did. The New World did not have horses or any other draft animals, so they relied on man power alone. Major civilizations were not all located along major rivers, and due to the difficulties traveling presented them with, had very poor communication with one another. They were also faced with the disadvantage of geographic isolation from the rest of the world. Despite these setbacks, the Native Americans were still able to create astoundingly complex civilizations, with surprisingly similar characteristics to eastern hemisphere civilizations. Similarities…

    Danielle Heinemann September 10, 2014 His 106 Section 8 Bailey When the English people started to arrive in America around the 19th century, they saw the land as their land. The government felt that the colonizing of people was much more the entitlement of the Native American and made several federal policies that insured specific tribes would be moved to pre-determined reservations to continue their traditional way of life. This was done despite how negatively it affected the Native Americans. After being forced to leave their native lands, many Indians discovered that life would be pretty difficult.…

    6. Based on my readings and my own experience new immigrants are better off with the Ethnic Enclave Model. In the reading they made it clear that an immigrant can get up the ladder in a business much faster and with greater ease if he is working with and for people they feel a familiarity with. A “ethnic spirit,” a sense of helping each other to help themselves keeps them motivated. Part of why I think that this concept works well for all immigrants of color are that there is a reason that these communities are still around today. The reason Chinatown, Little Italy and Little Havana are all thriving communities because the concept works and people of the same ethnicity help each other and feel much more comfortable and in tune with someone of the from where they are from more than a normal white man would help a man that just came to America from Cuba who doesn't speak any…
