    During the 17th and 18th century, English populace felt that England was over-crowded and oppressive. They longed to mitigate the problems that arose because of the exaggerated population boom and to establish a government that would allot them the freedom they thought they deserved. The English believed that the best way to go about this was to colonize the New World. Subsequently, many colonies began to develop, and of these colonies, Massachusetts and Virginia were the most well-known. The early settlements of the Massachusetts and Virginia were both established by similar groups of people at the same time; however, their contrasting beginnings as a colony, views on religion, and means of economic stability created two different politics and economic systems.…

    Towards the end of the 16th century, the English began to think more seriously about North America as a place to colonize: as a market for English goods and a source of raw materials and commodities such as furs. The English started to realize that colonizing the new world would bring England many advantages and would help Brittan better compete with Spain, England’s economic rival at the time. The New World would also provide a place to send the English poor and put them to better use where they could contribute to the nation's wealth.…

    After The Britain Empire won the victory over the French and Indian War in 1763, Britain had achieved the dominance over Eastern North America. The colonists rejoiced over the triumph of the War because they no longer had to face the threats from French, Spanish, and their allies. They were proud of their unity and success of the war. However, the happiness over the victory didn’t last long. The Seven Year War left a mixed legacy which changed the relationship between the colonies and its mother country. Following the war, Britain asserted more control and power over the colonies in North America because they faced a number of serious political, geographical, and financial problems. Britain adopted forceful policies and the colonists felt their…

This led to the establishment of the British colonies of Virginia, Massachusetts, all the way until the final colony Georgia.

    The thirteen Colonies

    • 375 Words

    The thirteen colonies that joined together to become the United States of America were but a part of the first British Empire. They were the product of a broad and dramatic expansion of England that began with the establishment of “plantations” in Ireland during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I and reached a peak with the conquest of Canada and the extension of British influence over India during the 1760s. In the New World alone at the time of the American Revolution Britain had close to two dozen colonies, most in the Caribbean, apart from the thirteen rebellious ones. As was the case for other colonizing nations, this expansion was driven by a variety of factors, including religion, nationalism, and economics—often categorized as God, Glory, and Gold. Specific colonies typically combined more than one of these objectives. The Roanoke colony of 1585, for example, was intended to serve as a privateer base that would undermine Spain’s Catholic empire in America, advance the interests of England, and enrich those who would actually capture Spanish possessions.…
