[|Glogster] The Chesapeake region was where the Jamestown settlement was located. The London Company were the ones that sponsored the trip from England. WHen the English got here, they faced many difficulties. For example, their first winter here, these people suffered from various diseases that they had never been exposed to, and this made them very weak to the point where they could not even farm. With no farming going on, these people had no food to eat. Despite all the hardships the English had faced arriving into the Chesapeake region, they were able to finally establish themselves when a certain leader named De La Warr arose. This man reconstructed the English labor system; making the settlers work harder in agriculture, and those who failed to participate were punished. Soon after these English settlers discovered the crop tobacco, and this crop complete changed the course of things. It opened up commercial trade and an economic system could be established.

 * Anne Hutchinson and the Puritans**

Ann Hutchinson differed with the views of the Puritan leaders, because she beleived that they were not of the elite, and if a person is not of the elite they should not have the right to be controlling what goes on in the church. She also thought that there wasn't a true emphasis on teaching the things in the Bible, instead, these leaders were more focused on worldly things and possesions. The church and the puritan leaders thought that Hutchinson should not be holding services in her house because she was a woman. they beleived she posed a threat to the church, as more and more people(especially women) began following her. As a result of this conflict Hutchinson was banished from the settlement, and the church made sure women had no authority or roles in the church( even they barely had any in the first place). This whole situation showed how women were trying to gain some authority and rights in society, and also shows that people were now going towards the step of religious freedom in society.

For example, Massachusetts establishes Harvard College, in Philadelphia the academy and college (University of Pennsylvania) is established, in New York King's college ( Columbis University) is established, Yale University in Connecticut, and in Princeton the College of New Jersey.

 * Map Analysis**
 * the shape of the map changed, different countries owned certain sections of America
 * France lost some of their land to Britain (their territory expanded)
 * the proclamation line of 1763 was established, white settlers who lived within this line could not leave.
 * there were still many unexplored land in N.America
 * Spanish and British owned most of the land

During the 1750s, Britain and France were fighting in Europe, as a result, the war proceeded into North America. The British people were focused on taking over the land that was being occupied by the French in North America, and they also wanted to have control of the fur trade that went on in the French territory. As a rusult, the French and British went to war. During the war, Native Americans joined forces with the French to fight against the British. The Native Americans decided to fight against the British, because they feared that the British would take over their land if they won. During the war, the French the Mississippi River and the Ohio River was controlled by the French as they began building forts befor the British. The French started moving into British land. In the beginning of the French and Native Indians defeated the British many times beacuse the British were poorly led by General Braddock(who tried capturing Fort Duquesne, however, failed). British forces became a lot stronger when they were led by William Pitt, the British started putting more resources into the war, as a result they started capturing French Ports. When the Brtish captured Quebec, the war basically ended, but was not officall until the Treaty of Paris. In this the French owned land west of the Mississippi River was transferred to the British. As a result if the war, British owed a lot of money that had been spent on the war and the maintainance on the new land. The British expected the colonies to help pay for the cost, which led up to various events causing the Revolution.

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE WORDLE media type="custom" key="7032789" align="center"

Looking at the wordle, the word PEOPLE and EQUAL stand out. This word is very relevant to the Declaration of Independence because the declaration focuses on the ideology that all men are created equal. Thomas Jefferson and the other men that wrote this document wanted to make it clear that every American had the same right, regardless of how rich or poor he/she was. GOVERNMENT, another word that stands out in the wordle, was what the Declaration of Independence was centered upon. Americans did not like the English Constitutions because went against everything that would benefit America; the king and the Parliament had all the power. Americans were seeking a new government that wouldn't take away from them, but a government that make decisions for the benefit of all people, whether rich or poor. FREE represents the idea that America wanted to be free of British involvement, wanted their own independence, to be able to carry out actions and decisions without British say.

The assumptions made by the American governmnet during this time wre very good. These assumptions allowed power to be distributed equally and appropiately. Since the assumptions gave the common people a chance to have a say in what the government does, everything that the government does will be for the benefit of the people (something Americans always wanted the English government to do). The properties of these assumptions can still be seen in the American government today. For example, people have the right to elect an individual to office. Today, the president cannot make a law on his own, it has to go through congress forst. In America today, everyone has the opportunity to become something in life regardless of the fact that they came from a poor or wealthy background. media type="custom" key="7058765"
