    I have e-mailed you, and I have set up an appointment to discuss the choice I should make concerning my topic for this research paper and presentation. I have always been interested in American history, but it seems as though I never gave much thought to the particular time period in which I am most interested. I have concluded however, that I do not know much about Colonial America. Every time I would sit down and begin to delve deeper into a topic I believed I might want to write about, I would realize that it did not fall under that “Colonial” category. I am interested in the study of the history of women, and I know that until the Women’s Movement of the 1960s, not much had been…

    The Great Awakening impacted the people in the 13 American colonies. Settlers were encouraged to disregard sectarian differences which brought religious, political, and cultural unity among the colonies. However, some churches divided into factions based on class ranks; for instance, “Old Sides” among Presbyterians and “Old Lights” among Congregationalist. Revivalism later resounded as “New Sides” and “Old Lights”. This event undermined traditional views of authority which contributed to the development of the American identity.…

    Bacon’s Rebellion was the first incident in the colonies. The under classed individuals rose up against the royal governor and the privileged. This act contributes to the notion that opportunities were not always equal in colonial times. Bacon’s Rebellion occurred due to many reasons; some being: higher taxes, restrictions on certain individuals’ right to vote, and the lack of protection from Native American attacks. Indentured servitude was the biggest form of labor for those who needed it. However, indentured servants had very little rights, and colonial America couldn’t possibly be considered a “land of opportunity” considering life wasn’t so easy for them. Indentured servants were bound to contracts stating a period of time they had to work, but at least there was light at the end of their tunnel. Slaves were more cost effective for the economy of colonial America. Extremely little to no wages and they were bound to what they thought to be indefinitely. They were treated more harshly than the indentured servants, and had very little to no respect of others, and beaten among other things. They arrived here forcefully and…

    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.…

    During the 16th and 17th centuries, several European nations dispatched delegations set on colonializing portions of the Americas. The British were undoubtedly the most successful in this regard by first establishing the Jamestown colony in 1604 and then the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629 (Reich, 2010). The Native Americans that the explorers encountered were weary of the unfamiliar faces that sought to establish footholds on their land. The British colonists viewed the natives as to be inferior, but were ready to use the natives for their knowledge, trading and indigenous skills. The reaction of the Native Americans towards the English…

    \In September of 1620 some 100 people ,mostly seeking religious freedom from the church of England set sail seeking the colony of Virginia. They traveled over on a ship known as the Mayflower where they were blown off their course. After a long voyage of 65 days, the refugees landed in cape- cod, present day Massachusetts. The settlers mostly lived on the Mayflower, while they built their new living quarters. A scouting party was later sent out and the new settlers landed in Plymouth Harbor that December. These settlers began to establish the first pure Christian colony of New England. The start of the Plymouth colony began. These settlers are known as Pilgrims. The Pilgrims would now face a dreadful first winter where nearly half of them died due to poor nutrition and housing that faltered in the harsh weather. Many of the pilgrims returned home and the pilgrims that stayed began establishing farms and a fur trade. To establish ground rules for governing they signed an agreement known as the Mayflower Compact. The Mayflower Compact was an agreement that bounded each member of the Separatist group in Plymouth to obey majority rule to promise to defend one another from potential eviction; set a precedent for democratic rule in Massachusetts ("The Pilgrims", 1996-3013).…
