These times were when they would run away and not be caught by a person and returned, or when they would be paid for. Slavery had an extreme influence on the thinking of humane actions.

Jamestown served as the capital of the colony for 83 years, from 1616 until 1699.

Harper Lee wrote To Kill a Mockingbird to describe her life experiences through the great depression. In the book she connects the Jim Crow laws with mob mentality, and racism. The connection to America’s history is how Jim Crow is used in the novel. Jim Crow was a set of laws to ensure that whites were superior to blacks. Some people thought the laws were needed because the whites thought the blacks were going to take their jobs.

Before the Civil War, slavery was a very popular practice in the southern United States. Though not many people actually had slaves, most southerners defended it because one day owning a slave was the “American Dream.” In the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain uses satire to reveal the greed, religious hypocrisy, and gullibility among the pre-Civil War south. Twain uses satire to demonstrate how greed can leave a person with less than what they began with. In the novel, this is shown through the King and Duke’s actions. After stealing the six thousand dollars from the family of Peter Wilks, the Duke suggest, “That we glide out of this before three in the morning, and clip it down the river with what we got” (Twain 179), to which the King replies, “What!

Other villages have already stop the lottery. But not this one. Things that we can take away for the story is tradition. The people continue the lottery because it’s a ritual and maybe it leads to growing of better crops.

The slave trade was when settlers took Africans out of their country and brought them to America to use as workers and laborers that they didn’t pay or keep healthy. The slave trade and the Indian Removal Act are similar because both of them did not get the choice on if they got to move from their homes, they were just told to by the Americans. They were also based on racism and greed as

Culture is one of the main factors that allow people to be different from one another. When immigrants come to America, they realize that it can be hard to adapt to the American culture. Dr. Rose Ihedigbo’s “Sandals in the Snow” and Amparo B Ojeda’s “Growing Up American: Doing the Right Thing” are both stories that tell how their adjustment from their homeland to America was different. In reading both stories, I noticed they were similar, but have a few contrasts I 'd like to address. In Dr. Rose Ihedigbo story “Sandals in the Snow”, her family came from Nigeria to America.

After the Revolutionary War, European Americans started to settle here. These settlers insisted for land drove settlers west along the Great Lakes from New England and New York. In 1817, Mr. Ely founded the city and built a log house, gristmill, dam and sawmill. He initiated building more houses to accommodate the European American settlers. There was a minor renovation with construction of new houses and new roads in 1990.

It’s the 16th century, the nasty King of England ordered a group of settlers to explore the new found world. After a treacherous travel along the pacific, the settlers found present day America, and called a colony “Jamestown” in 1607, making it the first permanent English colony. This started a series of adventure to make America an independent country from England. Creating America was like trying to create a beautiful masterpiece by an artist; it was destined to have mistakes that needed to be fixed and tweaked. The foundational events in the development of America were a settlement, revolution, and government.

In the book, Everyday Life in early America David Freeman Hawke clearly illustrates the life of the colonists in the 17th century, after the settlers arrived. Hawke explores different and important aspects during this time, and how the American settlers were profligate compared to the European people. In the 11th chapter Beyond The Farm – Wood and Water, Hawke describes the life beyond the farm and how Americans slowly start to recognize the importance of wood and water. However, at first the settlers did not use their resources well, especially wood, but wood was already scarce during the 17th century so people started to try using their valuable primary natural resources more thoughtful. Compared with Europe the life in North America

Aboriginal People and Historical Globalizations Aboriginal People lived in North America. They were the first people to step into North America, but when the European countries tried to find a way to get to Asia by sending explorers, one of them was Christopher Columbus who sailed to find the routes to Asia. When he reached North America, he found the new land where he met the Aboriginals. This was the time of historical globalization.The English people took them and put them in residential school because “it was best for the future of aboriginal people”. They assimilated the aboriginals, made them isolated, and they dominated them because they were more imperial.

Historians who practice historiography agree that the writings from the beginning of what is now known as the United States of America can be translated various ways. In James H. Merrell’s “The Indians’ New World,” the initial encounters and relationships between various Native American tribes and Europeans and their African American slaves are explained; based on Merrell’s argument that after the arrival of Europeans to North America in 1492, not only would the Europeans’ lives drastically change, but a new world would be created for the Native Americans’ as their communities and lifestyles slowly intertwined for better or worse. Examples of these changes include: “deadly bacteria, material riches, and [invading] alien people.” (Merrell 53)
