    Once in America, the ship would unload the slaves and take on any or all of molasses, rum, sugar, or tobacco and then head to Great Britain, completing the Triangle. (It should be said here that not all ships made this giant triangular trip. Many ships did no more than sail back and forth from America to Africa and vice versa or from England to Afria and vice versa. The description of the Triangluar Trade deals more with the goods as a whole.)…

    The purpose of this essay is to explain the historical development of the Thirteen colonies in the time period 1700-1800. It will be shown that the development of the colonies of the south and north differed in this time period. As the colonies developed, the need for independence grew leading to the Revolutionary war in 1776. Slavery was very diverse. In the south slavery was separated into two subcultures: the upper south and lower south. Slavery, however in the north was less vital to the colonial economy. In 1760 monarchism was well established in American culture. Americans were proud of their British culture. In most aspects colonies were already governing themselves for example Pennsylvania State House was a strong visual reminder of the power of the colonial assembly. The assemblies had become the preeminent political institutions in the colonies. As time went by, Britain started imposing unjust policies and Americans believed so as to they could not remain under British Empire any longer. Colonist eventually decided to break free and declare independence from Britain. The Battle of Lexington (1775) marked the first military conflict between Britain and America. Colonists had shown their spirited determination of their need for independence.…

    Chesapeake Settlers Essay

    • 794 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Some men were successful, but most lived in near poverty. Freemen rarely worked for others, choosing to try to cultivate their own crops. In result, the region was very unorganized, and every man was for himself. Towns were not needed, nor were they present in this time, as planters had no need to trade their goods with other planters for profit. Families were not common in those days, as women were few and far between, and childbirth was extremely dangerous. There was also no need for schools; too many children died before they were of age to attend. Where New England had already established Harvard University, the Chesapeake region didn’t even own a printing press. Life was miserable at that time, since most colonists were essentially working themselves into an early grave, with little or no satisfaction along the…
