Explain and analyze the struggle for control of North America among
European powers and the emergence of the 13 Colonies under
English rule - answer Through the 1700s the British searched for the
Northwest Passage, an open-water route across North America to
Asia, for wealth. The 1806 Lewis and Clark Expedition proved that
,no such route existed. Spain, France, England and Dutch led the way
in expanding Western European civilization in the New World. Spain,
England and France had strong monarchal governments and were
struggling for power in Europe. Spains mighty Armada was defeated
in 1588 and England became the most dominant navy in Europe.
This allowed England and France to carry on their rivalry, which lead
to the control of the American. Spain's influence extended across
Florida, along the Gulf Coast and west to California. Spains influence
was filled by the French. French control started from New Orleans to
the north of Northern Canada. England settled the eastern
seaboard, including parts of Canada and Maine to Georgia. The
Dutch had New Amsterdam (New York) for a period, but ceded
control to Britain. The Spanish settlements were started in the
Caribbean with establishments of colonies in Puerto Rico, Cuba and
Hispaniola at Santa Domingo. A settlement in St. Augustine, Florida
in 1565 and a permanent settlement in Santa Fe. Spains reasons for
involvement in the Americas included (Adventure, desire for land,
expansion of Empire, desire for wealth and expansion of Roman
Catholic influence on natives). France and England laid claim to
some of the same seas. Ranches and Missions were built and the
Natives who were in contact were introduced to domesticating
animals, plants and seed from the old world that they had never
seen before. Animals brought in included horses, cattle, donkeys,
pigs, sheep, goats. The Spanish imported trees bearing apples,
oranges, limes, cherries, pears, figs and almonds. All Spanish
colonies belonged to the King of Spain who was an absolu
Analyze the effects of English, French, Dutch and Spanish colonial
rule on social, economic and governmental structures in North
America, and the relationships of these colonies with American
Indian societies. - answer Colonists from England, France, Holland,
Sweden and Spain all settled in North America, on lands once
frequented by Native Americans. Spanish colonies were mainly in
the south, French colonies were mainly in the north and in the
middle of the content and the rest of the European colonies in the
northeast and along the Atlantic coast. These colonists got along
with neighbors with varying levels. The French colonists seemed the
most willing to work with the Native Americans, despite their
overgrowing demand. They managed to keep their native allies
happy. Dutch and Swedish were mainly interested in living in the
new homes. The Dutch West India Company founded a colony in
,what is now New York establishing it as New Holland. It was taken
over by the English who allowed Dutch families to keep
estates.English colonies were divided generally into three regions
(New England, Middle Atlantic, and South. The cultures of each were
distinct and affected attitudes, politics, religion and economic
activities. The New England colonies were Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut and New Hampshire. Life in these towns was
centered in the towns. Every family farmed its own plot, because of
short summer growing season and limited good soil. Manufacturing,
fishing, shipbuilding and trade were important aspects of living in
New England. The vast majority of settlers had similar origins in
England and Scotland. Government was done in the form of town
meetings where all adult males met to make laws. The General
Court, consisted of an upper and lower house.
The Middle or Atlantic colonies included New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. New York and New Jersey
were once a Dutch colony. The settlers were a melting pot of
different nations and backgrounds. The main activity was farming,
with settlers maintaining large farm
Describe the institution of African slavery in the Western
Hemisphere and analyze its consequences in sub-Saharan Africa -
answer Slavery in the English colonies began in 1619 when the first
twenty African slaves arrived in Jamestown, Virginia. From 1619
onward, slavery became a feature in American society, especially in
plantations. Free man refused to work for wages on plantations,
while land was available for settlement on the frontier. Slavery
became profitable in the South but not in the other colonial regions.
Slavery began in America in 1619 and legally ended in 1865, after
the South's defeat in the Civil War and passage of the Thirteenth
Amendment.
Analyze the causes for the War for Independence, the conduct of the
war, and its impact on Americans. - answer The war for
independence occurred due to a number of changes, the two most
important ones being economic and political. By the end of the
French and Indian War in 1763. Britain's American colonies were 13
of thirty-three around the world. Britain strived for a strong
economy and favorable balance of trade. In order to accomplish
this, Britain needed to have a wealth, self-sufficiency and a powerful
, army and navy. The English colonies, with only a few exceptions,
were considered commercial ventures founded to make a profit for
the crown, company who financiers. The colonies provided raw
materials for the industries in the Mother Country and were a
market for finished products. This mercantilism assisted England in
becoming economically and militarily powerful. Great Britain's
strong merchant fleet provided training for the Royal Navy and
bases of operation. Trade was the major reason for British
encouragement and support of colonization, especially in North
America. Between 1607 and 1763, the British Parliament enacted
different laws to assist the government in maintaining a positive
trade balance. One series of laws required that most of the
manufacturing be done exclusively in England. Another prohibited
exporting any wool or woolen cloths from the colonies, and
prohibited the manufacture of beaver hats or iron products. This
forced money to flow from the colonies back to the mother country.
The Navigation Acts of 1651 put restrictions on shipping and trade
within the British Empire by requiring that trade was allowed only
on British ships. This increased the strength of the British merchant
fleet and greatly benefited the American colonists. Since they were
British citizens, they could have their own vessels and build and
operate the as well. By the end of the war in 1763, the shipyards in
the colonies wee building o
Describe and evaluate the impact of the Enlightenment and the
unique colonial expenditures in the writing of the Declaration of
Independence, Articles of Confederation, Federalist Papers and
Constitution and Bill of Rights. - answer Democracy is loosely
defined as "rule by the people," either directly or indirectly or
through representatives. The basic concept of democracy existed in
thirteen English colonies with the practice of independent self-
government. The Declaration of Independence is an outgrowth of
Ancient Greek ideas of democracy, individual rights Renaissance
ideas and the European Enlightenment. Particularly the
Enlightenment ideology of the political thinkers John Locke. Thomas
Jefferson (1743-1826), the principe author of the Declaration,
borrowed much from Locke's theories and writings. Jefferson was
attracted to Locke's great emphasis on human rights and the belief
that when governments violate those rights, people should rebel.
Locke wrote Two Treatises of Government in 1690, which had
tremendous influence on political thought in the American colonies
