Transcript: Opportunity in Colonial America By Cam, Grant, Evan, and Sylvie Thesis: Opportunity in Colonial America is based on race, wealth, gender, and religion. Race Topic Black People Black - Rose Davis is Sentenced to a Life of Slavery 1715 - Rose Davis was born from an indentured white woman and a black man in 1946. - In 1715 Rose requested to be free but was instead sentenced to life of slavery. This type of treatment was the same around all black people. Their opportunities were not respected. White People White Song is written from the perspective of a young girl who is sent to Virginia against her will, where she faced a life of hunger and never ending work around 1689-1703 This document aims to show how life in Early America was tough and opportunities were few and far between no matter the race. It provides contrast to the idea that New England was a place of opportunity, showing that for some, New England was a place of great danger and suffering. Early Colonists did not enjoy many pleasures- the woman states in the song that she would gladly return to England. Some people living in New England weren’t necessarily free from the brutal class structures of England and Europe. Very little prosperity in Early America Native People Native Alibamo Mingo 1765 in the Americas Alibamo was Choctaw leader Created to share Native experience of the French losing to the British and leaving the Americas. Shows how the Natives were allies with the French and when they lost to the British the Natives were not happy. The Natives thought the British had no respect or wisdom in their government. The Author is the leader of the Choctaw tribe so he is biased to the Native opinion. He also focused on the good of the French and bad parts of the British. Likes the French because they had a good trade dynamic. Wealth: A person's wealth, especially inherited money, greatly impacted their opportunities in colonial America. Topic Eliza Lucas Eliza Lucas lived in South Carolina in the 1740. She became very wealthy through managing several plantations. Through this money she was able to enjoy many things. "My Papa... leaves it to me to choose our place of residence", "I have a little library...and the garden, which I am very fond of." Topic Eliza grew up in a wealthy family and received formal schooling in London before moving to South Carolina. The plantations she managed were inherited by her family. Eliza's inherited wealth gave her greater opportunity to make money and live comfortably in America. Topic Puritan Economics Wealth greatly impacted a person's opportunities, and Puritan New England did not make it easy to make money. "Puritan Economics", written by John Winthrop, details the case of Robert Keayne, who was tried for selling goods at a higher than legal price. Topic Puritan New England did not believe prices should fluctuate freely with Supply and Demand, and place heavy restrictions on trade. Gender Topic In 17th century colonial America, it wasn’t new for women to have one purpose and one purpose only. That purpose being to care for the added generation of their bloodline. Women were more or less treated like objects; a thing that just popped out a baby and did everything to raise the kid. Had an important role but rights were extremely little. Women’s rights decreased according to their ethnicity. Their rights also decreased according to their husband’s wealth or family wealth before getting married. In Samuel Sewall's diary he would document the times he spent during the Salem witch trials.Throughout Sam's diary he would record all of the people who had been accused of witchcraft and all of the times they had meetings regarding anything close to witchcraft. Majority of the people accused of witchcraft were women but there were some men accused of this act. People would try remedies to heal the ones who were in danger of being possessed into a witch. These documents from Samuel's diary would correlate with many other resources regarding gender and status because “weaker” or “different” parties would be blamed for what's wrong in the world, ending up with these groups of people walking on eggshells around the higher parties who are deciding whether or not these people have actually done anything wrong. Most of the women that were indentured servants would work in the upper class English man’s household, they would get sexually assaulted and if they got pregnant they would be forced to stay another year because of the “lost time” due to pregnancy and childbirth. Religion A persons religion affected the way they lived in colonial America. Topic Non-Christian Topic Jonathan Edwards Revives Enfield, Connecticut, 1741: The sermon explains how converting to christinaity will better not only other’s lives but also the world’s figuration to be able to roll into their idea of Manifest Destiny (at that time Manifest destiny wasn’t a thing, Manifest destiny didn’t happen until a century later)The sermon then goes on to question why

Transcript: Seeking Religious Freedom The next wave of English colonists came for religious freedom. England had been a Protestant country since 1534, when the king Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church and formed the Anglican Church. Not everyone in England was happy with the new church. Many people dissented, or disagreed with Anglican beliefs or practices.Others were Protestants who wanted to reform the Anglican church and some broke away all together. The Protestants who wished to reform the Anglican Church were called Puritans. Those who sought to set up their own churches were known as Separatists. These people were persecuted, mistreated because of their beliefs in England. Some fled to the Netherlands.There they found freedom to practice their religion, but they had trouble finding work. They also worried that their children were losing their religious values and their English way of life. The Pilgrims Settle Plymouth In 1620, a group of Separatists decided to move to America. They became known as the Pilgrims. A pilgrim is someone who undertakes a religious journey. The Pilgrims were able to get grants of land from the Virginia Company. They got permission to settle in Virginia and to practice their religion freely. They boarded the ship called the Mayflower and left to begin new lives. The Mayflower drifted off course on its journey across the Atlantic. The first land the Pilgrims sighted was Cape Cod, well north of their target. It was November, and winter was fast approaching. The colonists decided to drop anchor in Cape Cod Bay. They went ashore on a cold, bleak day in December at a place they called Plymouth. The Mayflower Compact Plymouth was outside the territory to the Virginia Company and its laws. While they were still on board ship, the Pilgrims signed a document they called the Mayflower Compact. This document set up an organized, orderly government. Each signer promised to obey the laws passed "for the general good of the colony." The Mayflower Compact was a key step in the development of representative, democratic government in America. Native American Help Almost half of the Pilgrims died during the first winter. They died from illness, hunger, and the cold. In the spring, two Native Americans, Squanto and Samoset befriended the colonists. They taught the Pilgrims to grow corn, beans, and pumpkins and showed the colonists where to hunt and fist. Without their help, the Pilgrims may not have survived. Squanto and Samoset also helped the Pilgrims make peace with the Wampanoag people who lived in the area. For a time, the two groups lived together in harmony. In the fall of 1621, the Pilgrims included their new Wampanoag friends in a feast of thanksgiving. New Colonies In 1629 a group of Puritans formed the Massachusetts Bay Company. The received a royal charter to establish a colony north of Plymouth. The company chose John Winthrop to be the colony's governor. In 1630, Winthrop led 900, men, women, and children to Massachusetts Bay. Most settled in Boston. During the 1630's, more than 15,000 Puritans journeyed to Massachusetts to escape religious persecution and economic hard times in England. This became known as the Great Migration. Winthrop and his assistants made the colony's laws but the settlers demanded a larger role in government in 1634. Adult male church members were allowed to vote for the governor and for representatives to the government. Later, property ownership became a requirement for voting. The Puritans had little tolerance for other beliefs even though they came for religious freedom. They criticized people who did not agree with their views. They strictly enforced their own religious rules. This lack of tolerance led people to form new colonies. Connecticut and Rhode Island Colonists began to settle along the Connecticut River in the 1630's. The leader of the movement was Thomas Hooker. He did not like how Winthrop and other Puritan leaders ran the colony. In 1636, Hooker led his congregation to the Connecticut River Valley. There he founded the town of Hartford. The colonies formed Connecticut. In 1639 they adopted a plan of government called the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut. This was the first written constitution in America. The document described the organization of representative government in detail, it reflected a belief in democratic principles. A minister named Roger Williams founded the colony of Rhode Island. Williams felt that government should not force people to worship in a certain way. He also believed it was wrong for settlers to take land away from the Native Americans. Forced by Massachusetts leaders to leave the colony, he found refuge with the Narragansett people. They later sold him land where he founded the town of Providence. Rhode Island had a religious tolerance policy and it became a face place for dissenters. It was the first place in America that people could worship freely. Others followed Williams' example and in 1638, John

Transcript: Colonial America Covenent Community New England was settled by Puritans seeking freedom from religious persecution in Europe. They formed a "covenant community" based on the principles of the Mayflower Compact. They practiced a form of direct democracy through town meetings. Puritans were often intolerant of those not sharing their religion. Opportunity The Middle Atlantic region was settled chiefly by English, Dutch, and German-speaking immigrants seeking religious freedom and economic opportunity. Cavaliers Virginia and the other Southern colonies were settled by people seeking economic opportunities. Some of the early Virginia settlers were "cavaliers" - English nobility who received large land grants in eastern Virginia from the King of England. Small Farmers Jamestown Jamestown, established in 1607 by the Virginia Company of London as a business venture, was the first permanent English settlement in North America. The House of Burgesses The Virginia House of Burgesses was the first elected assembly in the New World. Interactions among Europeans, Africans, and American Indians The explorations and settlements of the English in the American colonies and Spanish in the Caribbean, Central America, and South America, often led to violent conflicts with the American Indians. Loss of territory The Indians lost their traditional territories and fell victim to diseases carried from Europe. By contrast, French exploration of Canada did not lead to large-scale immigration from France, and relations with the Indians was better. Slave Trade Economic characteristics of the Colonial Period The New England colonies developed an economy based on shipbuilding, fishing, lumbering, small-scale subsistence farming, and eventually, manufacturing. Puritans The colonies prospered, reflecting the Puritans' strong belief in the values of hard work and thrift. Middle Colonies The middle colonies of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware developed economies based on shipbuilding, small-scale farming, and trading. New York, Philadelphia and Southern Colonies Cities such as New York, and Philadelphia, and Southern colonies developed and began to grow as seaports and/or commercial centers. Cash Crops Economies in the Southeastern coastal lowlands were based on large plantations that grew "cash crops" such as tobacco, rice, and indigo for export to Europe. Appalachian Foothills Farther inland, however, in the mountains and valleys of the Appalachian foothills, the economy was based on small-scale subsistence farming, hunting, and trading. Private Ownership A strong belief in private ownership of property and free enterprise characterized colonial life. Social Characteristics New England's colonial society was based on religious standing. Rhode Island was founded by dissenters fleeing persecution by Puritans in Massachusetts. Religious Groups The middle colonies were home to multiple religious groups, including Quakers in Pennsylvania, Huguenots and Jews in New York and Presbyterians in New Jersey. These colonies had more flexible social structures and began to develop a middle class of skilled artisans, entrepreneurs (business owners), and small farmers. Ownership Virginia and the other Southern colonies had a social structure based on family status and the ownership of land. Large landowners in the eastern lowlands dominated colonial government and society and maintained an allegiance to the Church of England and closer social ties to Britain than did those in the other colonies. Further Inland In the mountains and valleys further inland, however, society was characterized by small subsistence farmers, hunters, and traders of Scots-Irish and English descent. Great Awakening The "Great Awakening" was a religious movement that swept both Europe and the colonies during the mid-1700s. American Revolution It led to the rapid growth of evangelical religions such as the Methodists and Baptists and challenged the established religious and governmental order. It laid one of the social foundations for the American Revolution. Middle Colonies Middle colonies incorporated a number of democratic principles that reflected the basic rights of Englishmen. Southern Colonies Southern colonies maintained stronger ties with Britain, with planters playing leading roles in representative colonial legislatures. Agricultural Economy The growth of a plantation-based agricultural economy in the hot, humid coastal lowlands of the Southern colonies required cheap labor on a large scale. Indentured Servants Some of the labor needs, especially in Virginia, were met by indentured servants, who were often poor persons from England, Scotland, or Ireland who agreed to work on plantations for a period in time in return for their passage from Europe or relief from debts. Triangle Trade Most plantation labor needs eventually came to be satisfied by the forcible importation of Africans. Slaves The first Africans were brought against their will to
