APUSH SAQ 1.) The reason that this confederacy was established was to maintain and keep important traditions alive in these 5 later 6 tribes in the state of what is now present day New York. Some of the goals of this confederacy were to, improve trade, strengthen alliances with neighboring tribes against foreign nations, share agricultural techniques, capture land, and improve trade. In terms of how successful they were, overtime some tribes established alliances with European nations causing tension among the confederacy, however this confederacy did improve the alliances between these tribes. Overall in terms of land, they weren’t really successful as we can see now in present day U.S.A 2.) In Bacon’s Rebellion, there was a dispute over …show more content…
Many of them were born and raised there so they had English as their primary language making communication easy among them. There were also lower African-American death rates in the Middle colonies, along with an equal amount of sex genders creating a strong and stable community. In Contrast to that, African-Americans were not as successful in making communities in the south specifically in the Carolinas. With the large population of African-Americans in which they all come from different tribes, it made it challenging to establish a stable community. There was also a high death rate, and the colony was filled primarily with Males making the development of a community harder than in the Middle …show more content…
England used this system to benefit economically from the colonies. Salutary Neglect played a huge role in keeping the colonist in check using mercantilism as a way to show that they were obedient to the king and if they went against the rule of the king then that would be treason. The navigation acts were placed to prevent foreign trade to rival countries like France, and the Netherlands. They implemented this act to ensure that all shipping goes through British ports and are carried by British ships. This act made sure that the colonies were still under control of the British. 7.) Specific colonies had specific jobs, for instance, in the New England Colonies it was more common to fish and work in shipping rather than to farm since the weather wasn’t ideal for that region. In Contrast, the middle and southern colonies were able to use agriculture as a way to make money. These regions were a lot more fit for farming and other jobs within that range. Weather and climate had a huge affect on how each colony thrived economically. So based on where the colony is located, made it persistent to the type of work that could be found most
During the 17th and 18th centuries, the British government was in control of the North American colonies. The prime reason for the British government to control the English colonies was so Britain could trade with the colonies. The English colonies had crops like sugar and tobacco that couldn’t be grown in England so the British relied on the colonies to ship these products to them. The colonies were able to use the British ships in trade for the colonies’ crops. With the policy of mercantilism developing in the 17th century, Britain said they could help the English colonies become a strong country by trading, even though the trading mostly helped the British.
The Southern Colonies also concentrated on agriculture. They also developed the plantations for exporting tobacco, cotton, vegetables, grain, fruit and livestock. The Southern Colonies had the largest slave population. Slaves for the most part worked on the plantations.
A: The common features of these colonies were all based on their economies. The economies were all based on large plantations. Each colony had at least one main cash crop, mostly tobacco or rice. The large plantations needed someone to tend to the crops, so the owners of these plots used slaves to harvest their crops. Slaves were either african americans or indentured servants.
In the middle colonies there were rich farmland in many areas so “there economy was based primarily on agriculture,(facts on file.)” Their products were flax, raised livestock, and processed lumber that was sold to the West Indies that supported planters and slaves. The high demand of raw materials made a development in a growing international market. Farming was important for the middle colony, so the need for slaves were important especially of the successful cash crops tobacco, rice, and indigo. That’s why so many people moved to middle colonies because they were looking to make a profit as well.
The Purpose of the Navigation Acts was to encourage British shipping and allow Great Britain to retain the monopoly of British colonial trade for the benefit of British merchants. The
The Navigational Acts were a set of laws to make sure that Great Britain would profit from trade instead of any other country. The downside to The Navigational Acts were that the colonies were still relying on Britain. There were already taxes set on so many things; stamp act, sugaring act, quartering act, and
2. I would say that the first sentence in the Declaration is a periodic sentence. It gives an explanation of what is to come in the sentences that follow, and it has many phrases and clauses to lead into the main part of the passage. 3.
The first thing that differs between the Northern, Southern, and Middle colonies, is their climate, and what they grow for food and trade. In the North Colonies’ climate is bitterly mild which means long cold winters and mild short summers. This helps the Northern people grow crops like corn, pumpkins, beans, squash, oats, etc. Whereas with the
Bacon’s Rebellion is well known to students of colonial America, although no-one has succeeded in writing a convincing account of it. The first question historians asked was who was responsible for the widespread anarchy that followed the breakdown of government authority in the colony between 1676 and 1677. One historian attributes the rebellion to Nathaniel Bacon, and describes Governor Berkeley as a man doing his best to implement sensible policies. Another sees the Rebellion as prefiguring the American Revolution, with Bacon as an early George Washington, already defying British authority.
There is a saying ‘Rome was not built in a day’; this expresses the idea that great things take time to evolve and grow properly. America is much like Rome in the sense that over time and thanks to the foreign influences America received, it was able to blossom and still continues to grow. Without the intervention of France and England in America’s land and politics during 1795 to 1810, America would not have been able to thrive on the harsh global scale. Specifically, the political, social and economic events of the XYZ Affair, Alien and Sedition Acts, Louisiana Purchase and the despised Embargo of 1807 became turning points which would decide if America was strong enough to survive as a country.
Berkeley later offered Bacon a seat on the council. In 1676, Bacon’s rebellion began. The rebellion was a conflict between the wealthy planters of Virginia, like Bacon himself, and the Native Indians. Governor Sir William Berkeley, was a cruel and selfish man.
It shows the historical trends of conflict between those on the frontier and insiders, and elite consolidation of power, excellently. Bacon’s rebellion had many proximate causes, but no main objectives or driving cause. The story of it is inextricably tied up with the situation in Virginia and the facts on
1.Great Britain controlled the economy in the colonies through trade. 2.Every culture or country traded so that they could receive all of the essential goods that they needed to survive. 3.Great Britain forced the colonies to trade only with them so they could make a profit, and also so they could obtain the things they needed from. 4.As a result of the New World not having all that the colonists needed , Great Britain would have those goods that the colonists could use to survive; so they traded their goods back and forth.
When World War II ended, the United States rejoiced with what they assumed their victory would determine; total peace, the discontinuation of Communism, the return of all the dearly missed soldiers, and greater equality for all, especially in the workplace. Much to the dismay of many citizens at home during the war, these aspirations were not exactly what they expected. In the near short years right after the war, there was much prosperity and many were perfectly content, but in these years, many had difficult times with the changes that occurred after the war. With these rough times came many fears of the conditions of the country, but many of these fears were greatly calmed through the work of the President Eisenhower in the 1950s. In the
When Britain ended salutary neglect, the colonists’ got mad. It was a major turning point in the history of America because it allowed Britain to gain control over all of the American colonies, and make laws and tax the people however they wanted to. This helped Britain get out of debt after the French and Indian War. Before Britain ended salutary neglect, colonists’ were allowed to do whatever they wanted to.
