    The great diversity in the New World is also something that boosted American identity. America was a “melting pot” of many different ethnicities and cultures which set us apart from our British counterpart. A lot of the people who lived in the colonies were not English; they were French, Dutch, Jewish, Scots-Irish, Scottish and German. As Crevecoeur wrote in his Letters from an American Farmer, “…individuals of all nations are melted into a new race of men…” (Document H). This mixed group of people, when forced to fight for their rights developed a sense of unity along with their unique identity. Now even though they fought against British troops sometimes, the American colonists insisted that they were still…

    Loyal British subjects from all over Europe inhabited the thirteen colonies that made up America in 1763. You had immigrants from not just Great Britain, but also Germany, Ireland, and Scotland. This created a diverse population of colonists who all came to America for different reasons, but the one thing they all had in common was that they were bold enough to travel across the ocean and start a new life. From the beginning it was clear that the colonists were brave people and willing to do whatever to escape religious and economic troubles. It was no surprise that after the Enlightenment ideas of Locke and Newton reached America that these bold people would expect the natural rights they were entitled to. It is safe to say that the Enlightenment movement was the start of a domino affect that resulted in the American Revolution.…

    The French and Indian War ensured the dominance of English-speaking peoples over North America and set the stage for the American Revolutionary War (1775–83). At the end of the war France lost all of her lands in present-day Canada to Britain. With the French threat in North America eliminated, Britain and its colonies could wrangle over the nature of the imperial relationship.

    Throughout the 16th century and into the 17th century the Americas started to become very popular settlement areas, especially North America's east coast. This area was colonized by migrating English that either fled from England because of religious persecution, the wish of starting a new life with their families or were in the pursuit of gold and wealth. The decision people made between those two choices(religion and family go together)was what shaped each region, the New England colonies region and the Chesapeake region. Although these colonies were founded by mostly people of English origin each region had a different view on everything; economic view and intention, different social thoughts…

    How important was it for America to gain its independence from England? Thomas Paine, an English radicalist, thought that it was extremely important. Important enough to write a pamphlet on why American Colonist should have independence. At the time, 1776, many Americans felt the same way about Paine's view on independence, but never took any action on it. Common Sense was published in 1776 as a way to engage people in certain political issues at hand. It was written by Thomas Paine to show that a break with England was only inevitable but justified. In Common Sense, Paine tries to convince people that the time for debate was over and that it was now time for American Colonists to raise arms against England. Paine tries to use a style of presenting this information that will not only convince but inspire or motivate American Colonists and raise up against the king.…

    No particular society solely founded America; hence, the country is a melting pot of many diverse cultures and peoples. Even today, one can see traces of different traditions from unique lands. Look at city names, for example. One will see names such as Canterbury, Cornwall, Sussex, and Windsor. All of those towns and cities were obviously heavily influenced by English culture. Examples of French and Spanish town names include Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Boca Raton, and Santa Fe. Similarly, the selections from the Pilgrim, Puritan, and Anglican perspective support the melding of cultures that I believe forms the backbone of American diversity.…

    Between 1660 and 1775, Great Britain’s North American colonies were affected greatly by race, ethnicity and religion. The first settlers were mainly racially white, ethnically English, and religiously Protestant. The new world became a home to people who wanted more freedom. The demand of new market and new forces of labor created an opportunity for new races and ethnicities to colonize America.
