6th hour Colonial Development In the Colonial period Native Americans and White Landowners each viewed
Quakers in completely different views. I hope to explain that the Quakers and the
Indians shared more similarities, than there counterparts the White Landowners. The White
Landowners saw them always superior and looked down on the Quakers, where the Indians shared more problems and needed their help as they they could relate to the Quakers, somewhat. The Quakers and the Indians in the 18th and 19th century related to their religion especially those found in the east. The Native Americans had different morals of the French and the British, example, the Huron tribe was considered a tribe to do business with by the French. The Huron tribe did not like the British. The Huron joined the French because they thought that the French were more powerful. The Huron were selfish and heartless and they would kill them if they didn’t accept their job. The Huron felt they could manipulate French and they would let them keep their land. Huron knew that the Mohicans, were on the British side. Overall, the Native Americans viewed he colonists very carefully. The Native Americans did not trust any of them the main reason is that they believed land could not be owned. The colonists knew they needed the Native Americans for survival. The colonists were shocked by the beautiful pelts Native Americans made and they knew that they were the style in Europe and they traded fur for kettle, guns and other material goods. Therefore they needed one another for survival.. The colonists didn’t interact with the Indians because they came over thinking they were better then the Indians in the

    Arriving to North America, the Indians grew worried of the growing population of European settlers and colonists coming in and taking their lands. Though both Penn and Winthrop sought to gain lands for colonization, Penn had a more peaceful approach to the Indians. Penn would create good relations with the natives and the Quakers would negotiate over the lands in a just manner. Penn encouraged the Indian culture to come into the Quaker communities while Winthrop wanted to exclude the Indians out the Puritan communities. The Puritans in turn would just take lands from the Indians and force the Indians to fall back into the backcountry. Winthrop believed that the Indians “inclose no land, neither they have any settled habitation, nor any tame Cattle to improve the land by...we may lawfully take the [land].”…

    The relationship between the puritan settlers and the native Americans changed overtime between 1620 and 1676. In 1620, when the first Puritan settlers arrived on the mayflower, the two groups were apprehensive to meet each other. When they first truly met, they made agreements with each other. One group of natives, the Wampanoags, had a strong bond with the settlers. The group effectively saved the pilgrims from starvation and other hostile tribes. The Pilgrims and the Wampanoags had a strong bond and even aided each other against hostile natives. As more puritans migrated to the new world, more and more natives were being pushed out from there home land. When Massasoit and his predecessor died, his son Philip, took over as Sachem. In desperate need of money and power, Philip sold Native American land. The economical state was pressuring Philip and there was only one thing Philip could do. Philip started a war.…

    Colonial Williamsburg represents life in colonial times with colonial buildings, architecture, and performances. The Capitol, built in 1705 and constructed by the contractor, Henry Cary, has helped build the new nation during the Revolutionary War era, now known as the United States of America. The representatives at the Capitol were at the oldest representative assembly in the world. This building was very important during colonial times and it is still relevant to citizens today, not just in Williamsburg. Also, the motto “That the future may learn from the past” connects deeply with the Capitol’s use. Because of the House of Burgesses and General Court, government and architecture that the United States continue to use today, and how the Capitol helped the colonies become independent and a new country, the Capitol deserves a commemorative coin minted for it.…

    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 diferent cultures, only one would prevail. The colonists as a group, depending on their beliefs, had a hard, harshpolicy 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 the land was owned by none, that the rich earth was abundant for all. As the colonies populated, harsher policies toward Native Americans arose, and the conflicts between the colonists and the Native Americans iscolated. Pennsylvania was probably the ideal colony. William Penn’s philosophy of pacifism made his colony a heaven of respect and tolerance for all. Some of William Penn’s theories may not have been carried out to a full extent, but it did set structured and social implications; this represented a harsh contrast with the policy of other colonies toward Native Americans, and an even sharper contrast of non English settlers toward Native Americans in areas such as New France. All this would establish a part of what would be the American identity.…

    The Native Americans had lived in America for generations. They were already here when the colonists came from Britain. Colonists survived because of the Native Americans’ help. When the colonists fought the Revolutionary War, some of the Native Americans allied with the British, but some fought on the colonists’ sides. Britain armed some Native American tribes to fight against us in the War of 1812, but some stayed with us the whole time. Settlers wanted the Native Americans land because it was fertile. Native American land was wanted by the settlers. Eventually, Jackson passed the Indian Removal Act to force the Native American off their land and march in terrible conditions to their new home.…

    While the relationship between the colonies and Great Britain had often been rocky, the French & Indian War gave rise to new tensions between the two countries. The colonists wanted the British out of the Americas, while the British wanted their newly conquered land for money. King George III & members of Parliament believed that the colonists were ungrateful so they decided to “disciple” the colonists; they wanted the colonists to pay for the tremendous debt from the war. Along with paying the war debt, King George III wanted control over all new land settlements.…

    The Thirteen Colonels of America have been working on this new idea of Democracy, while still under the British rule. The colonists in Maryland created the Assembly of Maryland, "Where in document 1, they created a law to protect ever form of Christianity and allow them to practice it," as well, "it prevents people of one form of Christianity from going out and attacking another person, who is practicing a different form of Christianity," (Citizen Legislators and Toleration). That was one of the first things that this new Democracy in America has achieved in their way to a better world. This law stopped people from attacking other religions and allowed the freedom of practicing any form of Christianity in Colonial America without fear of being beaten for it. But another democratic feature, which happened in Colonial America was the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut.…
