However, over time the two regions evolved into two distinct societies. These patterns in evolution will cause the regions to grow apart and, eventually in the future, rebel against one another. Although the evolution occurring in the 17th and 18th centuries would lead to diversity involving three important factors: social issues, economics, and politics. The first factor accounting for the differing development is social issues. The Chesapeake region was mainly populated by young men (and some women), who are mostly possibly indentured servants (Doc C). Being independent, these people migrated to this area seeking riches or a new beginning. As time progressed, the colonies in the Chesapeake began to disperse creating a social stratification. In 1676, this social gap will spark an uprising called Bacon’s Rebellion. After leader Nathaniel Bacon forced the House of Burgesses to authorize him to attack the Indians, Governor George Berkeley declared Bacon and his followers – land-hungry, white, indentured servants and slaves, who were a majority of Virginia’s

    With different goals in mind, the two regions separated due to the major difference of what the two groups wanted. Socially, The Chesapeake had settled in the region for gold and riches. With no other goal in mind, it was difficult for the Chesapeake to develop families and stable homes. Not to mention the uneven men to woman ratio and the lack of food supply for the Chesapeake (Document C). They set up plantations and made profit from tobacco. The New England region consisted of Puritans who wanted to purify the church and escape religious persecution because of how bad and corrupted the Church of England was. When the New England region were first beginning to settle, they had no intention to make any profit or were obsessed with finding gold like the Chesapeake. Instead, they wanted to create a place were they could worship freely. A very important difference between the Chesapeake and New England was that they (New England) came to the region in families (Document B). Because of that, the population there grew by itself, creating stable families with a better ratio between man and woman, in comparison to The Chesapeake, who struggled to create families and make the population grow. The Chesapeake had a smaller population when being compared to New England for the sole fact that New England had more women in their region. Both regions had trouble and tension with Native Americans. The south was involved with Bacon’s rebellion which later led on to Bacon’s manifesto (1676) were he justified his rebellion against the Virginia…

    Dbq U S History Section 2

    During the 1600’s many ideas and values affected the political, economic, and social development of the New England colonies (specifically from 1630 through the 1660’s) . The puritains had a close kinship, for example “working as one man”, and entertaining eachother in brotherly affection. The Puritans were a significant grouping of English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries. Puritanism in this sense was founded by some Marian exiles from the clergy shortly after the accession of Elizabeth I of England in 1558, as an activist movement within the Church of England. The designation "Puritan" is often incorrectly used, notably based on the assumption that hedonism and Puritanism are antonyms: Historically, the word was used to characterize the Protestant group as extremists similar to the Cathari of France, and according to Thomas Fuller in his Church History dated back to 1564, Archbishop Matthew Parker of that time used it and "precisian" with the sense of modern "stickler".…

    Bacon’s Rebellion was a result of many different factors. It started with the fact that land was becoming scarce in Virginia because much of it was owned by the rich tidewater planters. When an indentured servant was freed, he was usually given freedom dues by his master, which usually included a small plot of land. As land became less and less available, this practice disappeared. Most of the Baconites were frustrated freemen who had not been given land when they were freed and so had to push west into the frontiers of Virginia. This inevitably led to conflict with the Native Americans. Native American attacks on the frontier settlements led to a petition by the frontiersmen for a commission from the governor to protect them. The governor refused because he made money trading with the Native Americans, infuriating the colonists. All of these frustrations led these frontiersmen to rebel. The governor’s actions justified the Baconites revolt against him. He refused to protect the Baconites from the Indians because he did not want to ruin his trade with them. Even though this was what was really going on, he told the Virginians that the Native Americans had only been nice to the colonists, which was false. Because the government was unwilling to protect the governed, it was the right of the Baconites to rebel. This rebellion foreshadowed the American Revolutionary War in that it was a revolt against an unpopular government. In both of these situations, the ruling body that was rebelled against was seen as incapable of performing its office correctly by those that it governed.…

    1998 Ap Ushistory Dbq Essay

    The origins of the Federalist and Democratic-Republican parties can be traced back to the early 1790s. Initially, the Federalists, or broad constructionists, favored the growth of federal power and a strong central government. The Federalists promulgated a loose interpretation of the Constitution, which meant that they believed that the government could do anything by the implied powers of the Constitution or that congress had the right to interpret the Constitution based on connotation. On the contrary, the Democratic-Republicans favored the protection of states’ rights and the strict containment of federal power. The Democratic-Republicans were strict constructionists and they believed only in the enumerated powers of the Constitution. Up until 1800, these descriptions of the two political parties were very accurate. However during the period of 1801-1817, the Jefferson and Madison’s presidencies reveal that these characterizations were accurate only to a certain extent. These characterizations became inaccurate when Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe stepped up in power as president and were forced to compromise their political views for the benefit of the country in the face of war, economic pressure, and threats to the Union.…

    Hollitz Chapter 2 Question 1

    I do not agree with this historian because some of Bacon’s causes for rebellion were important enough to the people living in Virginia to want changes. Taxes began to rise on tobacco, salaries of the government officials began to increase, and no servants were selected to the council after 1640. In 1675 colonists ordered Governor Berkeley to return with an army after killings by the Indians alongside the Fall Line (The line marking the waterfalls of nearly parallel rivers). In March of 1676 the representatives announced war on “all such Indians who … shall be discovered to have committed murders … and depredation” (Hollitz, 23). Trading with Indians was also now illegal which placed even more economic stress on those traders that needed Indian products to survive. Nathaniel Bacon had a cause for the rebellion after one of his supervisors was killed in a Susquehanna attack.…

    1.) American society wasn’t that democratic during the colonial days. Although it was much more democratic than England, it still wasn’t quite there yet. The constitution wasn’t signed and agreed upon until 1787, and before the turn of the 18th century, the colonies were a big mess. Most cities had an oligarchy, meaning a religious leader was in charge, making everyone abide by their rules, although it was often less religious and more on the tyrannical side. There wasn’t much separation of church and state. The only people who could vote were members of the church in most colonies, although some colonies allowed white men who owned property to have the right of franchise. People were hung, flogged, and exiled. Indentured servants had it bad,…

    How Economic Development Affected Politics in the Massachusetts and Virgina Colonies

    The development of areas and their politics can be greatly affected by many things, but one of the major developmental factors is economics. If two areas have vastly different economies, they will develop vastly different political systems. One such case can be found when exploring the development of Massachusetts and Virginia in the periods of 1607 to 1750.…
