The Jamestown settlement is located in Virginia, it was the first permanent english settlement. They decided to settle there because it was hard for enemies to reach them through the narrow channel, and the thick forest around them provided plenty of lumber and the water surrounding them provided fish. The first colony was founded by a group of investors by the name of the london company. They fell because of lack of preparation, sickness during the winter spread rapidly and many died. In the year of 1624 Virginia fell under the rule of a royal colony and existed under the authority of a governor chosen by the king of England. The king did this because he believed that the London company could not protect the colonists. The mayflower compact

City life was changed drastically in the 1800s. “The most extensive urban renewal… took place in Paris in the 1850s. George Haussmann… built wide boulevards and splendid public buildings... Gradually, settlement patterns shifted” (250). Before, the streets were narrow and people didn’t have a lot of work to come by, and the reconstruction of the areas created many jobs. The poor began to live near the center of the city while the rich moved to nice neighborhoods on the outskirts. More improvements came about that made living in the city more appealing. “Paved streets made urban areas much more livable… Beneath the streets, sewage systems made cities healthier places to live… In large cities, single-family middle-class homes gave way to multistory
Throughout his whole life, Louis Riel had many accomplishments such as becoming the founder of Manitoba, being the Metis leader and being the central figure in the North-west and Red River resistance. When the Hudson 's Bay Company decided to sell Rupert 's land, the sale did not have any consultation with the Metis. The Red River Colony was a part of Rupert 's land, the Metis were afraid of losing their rights and land. Since Louis Riel was
They were their main enemy’s. He had gained the respect with all the other tribes. But he gained a reputation for raiding the crow and Pawnee tribe a lot. Another war he had fought in was against the U.S. That war was due to the U.S. soldiers looking for gold in the land that the Oglala tribe was living on. The Oglala tribe fought the U.S. army. The Oglala had defeated the U.S Red Cloud was the first chief that had ever beat the army and was also the last to defeat them.

One of the most impacting organizations in social welfare was the settlement house. Most of them were large buildings in crowded immigrant neighborhoods where workers provided helpful services for people. Settlements aimed for their ultimate goal to be to preserve human values in a rapidly industrializing age. Every worker’s goal was to teach middle class values to the poor. They wanted to help the immigrants adjust to their new way of life. Settlement houses impacted the Gilded Age in a positive manner because they provided educational and recreational services to the community.
During his life, he leaded two rebellions against Canada’s first prime minister Sir John A. Macdonald which. They were the Red river (1869) and the North West Rebellions (1885). His move was to claim that the Metis has the rights as others. As Manitoba was recovered by the Canadian government, lots of the white move in. The Metis without their rights were forced to move into Saskatchewan. With the harming of environment, buffaloes gradually died out, as they were the life source for the Metis. The Metis had told the government what they were facing but sadly the government’s play for time leads the rebellions. Louis’s leading changed the fate of the Metis as after Louis’s death, the Canadian Government started a development for the Metis’ land.
For instance, lead mining brought a lot of jobs to the area as well as coal mining. I found something about each map that I studied. The historic map showed where the Five Civilized Tribes listed on the map while the modern map showed the highways and interstates. According Encyclopedia of Arkansas History and Culture, it said, “Indians supplied much of what government Arkansas enjoyed during that period during which France and then Spain claimed the Mississippi River’s west bank. Theoretically, French and Spanish commanders at Arkansas Post enjoyed considerable political military, and juridical authority. They presumed to regulate trade, commercial hunting, and Indian relations. But the settler population was too small, scattered, and obstreperous, and soldiers too few, for the power to be very meaningful. Moreover, the Quapaw and Osage refused to be governed by European law. The Quapaw had made themselves too essential to French survival- and the Osage were simply too powerful- for either to be bullied into submission.”
In 1701, Miskousath of the Mesquakie tribe pledged their loyalty to New France alongside other Western Great Lakes Tribes. Miskousath also encouraged the French to increase their presence in the area to discourage warfare. In that same year the Fox asked the French to stop trading arms and ammunition with the Sioux, to which the French gave no definite answer, promising to ask for consul from Louis XIV. The Mesquakie soon realized that the French had no intention of ending trade with the Sioux causing the Mesquakie to grow more hostile towards the French as they began intercepting French merchants. The Mesquakie seized the goods from the traders or forced them to pay such high tributes that merchants did not want to cross their land to get
Ever notice how different things are throughout history? Some include the U.S.As differences of opinion from England which lead to the American Revolution. Jamestown and the New England colonist are also a set of difference as to why they came to America, how they interacted with the natives, and where they landed and how it affected how they lived.Although there are some similarities, there were more differences than similarities because the area was different where each of them landed. Just one question, why would people keep coming to a land where almost everyone dies?
In 1607, the attraction to the East Coast started off with the first permanent English settlement in North America, Jamestown. After Jamestown was founded no other colonies were made until 1620 with the Plymouth colony in Massachusetts. Not long after the founding of the first two colonies, eleven other colonies were created. Even with this many colonies I believe the first two colonies to be the most influential and insightful because they set the example for all of the other colonies. Because I believe these two colonies to be the most impactful I will start with history and then break down and compare different aspects including location, motivations, early years, religious differences, native relations, and economic standpoints.
The late eighteenth century saw the removal of the Acadians from their homesteads after the inhabitants’ refusal to swear an Oath to the British Crown; an oath that would have possibly meant marching against their fellow comrades and family members. Out of all the documents presented, the document written by the suffering displaced Acadian, John Baptiste Galrem is my choice of most credible, while the letter by Charles Lawrence is the least. The Acadians faced many hardships including being accused of something they may not have any part in, the loss of their weaponry and basic rights, and many lost family members during the relocation of the settlers. The man responsible, Governor Charles Lawrence, acted upon his own accord without an order
In which he initiated to guide settlers in the Red River Colony. Their goal was to travel up to the Selkirk Grant in search for a place for the settlers. Macdonell did not necessarily have a great start of his title. To begin with, they arrived at York Factory in late August 1812, later than promised, thus the group has to spend a winter there. Macdonell 's group began to plant crops on the land. Unfortunately, the crops failed. As a result, food supply was short for the new settlers arriving each year, thus they were faced with starvation.
