Compare And Contrast The Core Vs Periphery
The Core vs. Periphery-tension between Appalachia and the American Core first developed during the Colonial American Period and especially during the French and Indian War. During the French and Indian War (1755-1763) the colonial governments of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginian refused to raise monies and military units to protect settlers living in Appalachian Maryland, Appalachian Pennsylvania, or Appalachian Virginia. As a result, settlers living in what is today Allegany County MD, and Mineral and Grant Counties West Virginia, were attacked and many killed by the French and their indigenous Native American Algonquin Allies. The wealthy “Planters” of tidewater Virginia and Maryland and the liberal Quaker-controlled Pennsylvania colonial

    "From 1781 to 1789 the Articles of Confederation provided the United States with an effective government. Using the documents and your knowledge of the period, evaluate this statement."

    Land was an important part of early America. When America was under England’s control, the Britain’s put a proclamation line forbidding Americans to cross westward of the Appalachian mountains, but when the colonist gained their independence the area to the west was available for the states to expand. Areas of the west were ceded by the larger states, which were unfair to the smaller states with no western claims (Doc. E), but the Land Ordinance of 1785 changed that. The Land Ordinance sold the western land to the government who sold it back to the people so they would be able to pay back the government’s national debt. The land ordinance divided areas into 6 square miles with and area in each devoted to public schools, since education was important. Eventually it showed that the ordinance wasn’t as organized, so The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 came into play. It stated that an area would be under federal rule until it reaches a population of…

    Although New England and the Chesapeake Region Were Both Settle Largely by People of English Origin, by 1700 the Regions Had Evolved Into Two Distinct Societies. Why Did This Difference in Develoment Occur?

    America in the 1700s was a big melting pot however the Chesapeake and New England regions were made up mainly of people of English origin. Even though the settlers came from the same place their societies evolved in two different directions.

    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…

    The Change in Sectionalist and Nationalistic Feelings in America

    At the start of the second decade in the 19th century, American was going through tough times. The War of 1812 was raging causing destruction throughout America while many domestic issues divided the nation. One of the most major issues was the New England Colonies’ feelings of sectionalism while the South was as nationalistic as ever. In 1820 however, the roles reversed as the South became the regionally favored area while New England became a larger support of the country. This swap is due to the economic changes that occurred between 1815 and 1820. Economic developments such as trade tariffs, slavery issues and the industrial revolution created a new commercial environment adjusting the views of the citizens of said regions. Without this economic shift, the Northern States would have garnered more support to break away from the US while the South would have wanted to preserve the union.…

    New England Colonies Dbq Analysis

    In the colonial United States up to seventeen hundred, most of the settlers inhabiting the land happened to be of English origin. Although, they came from the same whereabouts, the two poles of the colonies, north and south, developed two distinct societies. For example, in the New England area the settlers developed an egalitarian, unified, and organized atmosphere, while in the Chesapeake region residents created an aristocratic, unloyal, and scattered environment. But, if they are of the same origin, how did they develop such divergent societies? This difference was a result of opposite immigration and settlement patterns, and motives.…

    The Native American tribes in the Western frontier played a major role in the Virginia revolutionary movement. The elite Virginian gentry?s desire for Western Native American lands rapidly grew in the mid-eighteenth century. The wealthy Virginians made many attempts to attain these lands and the Native Americans resisted hard to defend what their land. Furthermore, the British government was more accommodating to the Natives than the Virginians wished. Parliament was careful not to incense native tribes for fear of a costly war or rebellion. A British official exclaimed that Indian rebellions (specifically Pontiac?s Rebellion) were ?expensive and destructive to his Majesty?s Subjects.? For example, in October 1768, the British imposed the Treaty of Hard Labor, which resulted in the Cherokee Indians retaining land that Virginian Thomas Jefferson had claimed. Two more major British treaties enraged the Virginia land speculators. The treaty of Easton in 1758 decreed all lands west of the Appalachian Mountains to the Indians. This treaty caused problems for many speculators and farming companies. However, the major calamity to the Virginian gentry was the Proclamation of 1763. Although the proclamation did little to stop settlers from…

    French and Indian War Dbq

    The expansion of borders through the Treaty of Paris in 1763 caused political trouble between the colonists and the British. During the French and Indian war the Indians worked with the French with the hopes that defeating the English would halt the westward expansion into Indian Territory. The French forfeited all of this Indian land to the English with the Treaty of Paris. Most of the Indians thought that white settlers had no right to settle in these lands (Doc. B). Even after the war ended, there were still active attempts of retaliation by the Indians. Leader of these tribes, Pontiac, led a brutal campaign to drive the Englishmen out of the Ohio Country. They eventually overran all but three British posts west of the Appalachians. To avoid future conflict between Indians and the settlers, the British issued the Proclamation of 1763. This proclamation prohibited future settlement beyond the Appalachians. Colonists were enraged by this statement because they thought they were finally free to explore the land that their great grandfathers have gotten for them (Doc. E). After the war the colonists thought themselves as equal to their British brothers but this proclamation increased their…

    Articles Of Confederation Challenges

    The most important issue at the time was the push to westward to settle new colonies, (Shultz,n.d.). After the Revolutionary War, many Americans began to move westward towards Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and the Nashville area of Tennessee. They began to settle in the Appalachian Mountains and along the Mississippi River. This caused jealousy from the states that had no claims on the western land because they were enriching the states that already had colonial charters. Maryland refused to ratify the Articles until Virginia to cede…

    Westward Expansion and Indian Removal

    Even preceding the major acts of Indian removal enforced during the American Expansion movement, the United States had recognized the economic and commercial potential in the possession of Western territory. Since the arrival of the first colonists to America, petty disputes existed between the natives and settlers over territorial boundaries. Over the decades, American settlers had gradually pushed Native Americans deeper into the West, forcing them to relocate and reside further westward. However, even prior to the major Western Expansionist campaign and its subsequent Native American relocation movements, Americans had acknowledged the great economic potential in the acquirement of Western lands. President Thomas Jefferson expressed the ubiquitous American curiosity towards the land residing past the Mississippi river, which at the time marked the western boundary of the United States, by…
