The New England Psalm's Life In The Thirteen Colonies

When the Puritans first traveled to America, they dreamt of creating a religious city on a hill with conformity to strict community values, hard-working colonists, educated citizens and a strong theocratic government; however, the end of Puritan dominance led to the creation of a new vision for a “perfect” society with values to fit the growing nation. After the Act of Supremacy in 1534, England became a protestant country united under the Church of England. The Puritans were a sect of Protestants, who believed that the Anglican Church was not yet fully reformed. One especially radical group, the Separatists, believed the Church of England was past reform and desired to separate from the church entirely. These Separatists were persecuted

The New World was home to Native Americans before it was ever home to Europeans. Europeans, mostly the English were who began to shape it to their needs and personal identities. New England, for example was considered to be tight knit and as a result of having families developed schools, and churches to fit their lifestyle. New England and Chesapeake were distinct societies during the colonization era of North America with different settlement patterns, motivations, and economies. Patterns of settlement for New England and Chesapeake differed greatly.

Prior to the Latin American countries gaining independence, the Creole elites expressed great displeasure with the crown and readily equated themselves with the American colonists before gaining independence from Britain. With this ideology, many Creole’s became enfranchised with Anglo-European culture and enlightenment, convinced that this culture would solve their perceived problems. The Latin American Creole’s believed in both Charles Darwin and Spencer, to show that the fittest survive through evolution and that those concepts apply to the society they lived in. Spencer reinforced the belief that science, industry and progress were interlinked, and with the evolution of society their nations would bloom.

Although all the colonists all came from England, the community development, purpose, and societal make-up caused a distinct difference between two distinct societies in New England and the Chesapeake region. The distinctions were obvious, whether it be the volume of religious drive, the need or lack of community, families versus single settlers, the decision on minimal wage, whether or not articles of agreements were drawn for and titles as well as other social matters were drawn, as well as where loyalties lay in leaders. New England was, overall, more religious than the Chesapeake region. Settlers in New England were searching relief for religious persecution in Europe. Puritans, Quakers, and Catholics were coming in droves to America searching for an opportunity to have religious freedom.

The embargo of 1807 reduced the amount of desperately needed foreign goods. To compensate for this deficit, enhanced manufacturing became necessary, seen most notably in the Lowell System in the Northeast. The inventions of Francis Cabot Lowell allowed the Boston manufacturing company to coalesce all of these processes and procedures in the facility at Waltham. With peace, New England became a textile mill center (Borneman 259). This progression of manufacturing led to a larger middle class, as people found the desire to buy luxury goods for themselves once again, leading to economic enhancement.

The early 1900s were a time of widespread social and political change in America. During this time, many Americans adopted new, more modern ideas about labor, cultural diversity and city life. Some of these Progressive ideas were brought about by the need for reform in the workplace due to the grown of large companies and rapid industrialization. Not everyone supported the ideas of the Progressive Movement, however. Anti-Progressives, especially in the South, preferred traditional, rural lifestyles, and a slower, simpler way of living.

Though they came from the same origin, the New England and Chesapeake Regions both separated, and with different goals for each colony. By the 1700s the Chesapeake and New England regions were distinctively different even though both were made from English colonies based on, the people whom settled the land, the governing goals and the religions brought to the new land. After arriving in the New World, the New England and Chesapeake Colonies began to thrive, but from ideas that came from very different people. Though both were trying to escape religious persecution, the differences in the people whom settled the land is noticeable.

let’s end the sweatshops Sweatshop, or sweat-factory is a negative but alarming term for a workplace that has socially unbearable working conditions. Sweatshop pricks the bubble that workers are hired or forced to work for long hours with poor pay. Work can be dangerous there and violence can be used by people in leadership. No access to entertainment provided in the workplace is another factor that brings no joey to workers when they are suffering great stress at work and no medical care available could help physical tragedies happen anytime. Plus child labor is part of sweatshop too.

After the 1860s, and for the rest of the century, the American stage was once again flooded with foreign operettas. Some of these operas included: the opera-bouffes of Offenbach and Lecocq, the operettas of Suppé and Johann Strauss II, and the comic operas of Gilbert and Sullivan. Although The Black Crook was a successful play for it’s time the first successful American-written operetta was Willard Spencer's The Little Tycoon written in 1886. All the years of  European influence on the American musical theatre was pronounced and inescapable, extreme efforts were being made to achieve a musical entertainment basically American in style, spirit and format. The first play to have a plat, characterization, setting, and at the same time focus on the American experiences, was The Brook in 1879,  with the book and lyrics written by Nate Salesbury.

Johnny Tremain’s life was shaped by the social and economic practices of colonial America during the Revolutionary era. Like Johnny, many people from England were given the choice to live in a land with more freedoms and a self-sufficient nature. As these people soon discovered, America provided numerous opportunities, even to Johnny. All of America was filled with countless chances from land ownership to freedoms lacking in England. Indeed, America was a more unconfined place.

Culture is an embodiment of a society’s values. The representation of American culture is rapidly changing, showing a plethora of beliefs over the decades. Every change comes with controversy, new radical ideas of the upcoming generation challenging the previous. Once deemed taboos become socially acceptable and ideas once thought absurd are altered to become social norms. For example, when rock and roll debuted in the late nineteen sixties it caused conservative Americans belonging to the fifties to believe the new music of the generation was causing internal decadence.

DBQ Between the years 1750 and 1776, England was locking down on the colonies, imposing lots of taxes against the colonists such as the Stamp Acts and Townshend Acts. Tensions were high between England and the colonies and the idea that a Revolution might take place wasn’t out of the question. And it was between those 25 years that colonists in America began to find a sense of unity and a sense of their own individual identities.

The Radical American Revolution During the 17th and 18th centuries, the US’s colonists were growing tired of Britain’s taxes and leadership, and slowly came to rebel against Britain. The colonists’ small rebellions eventually lead to the American Revolution (1775-1783), where the colonists fought to be in charge of themselves. The Revolution provided a great change in American from 1607 to 1800. Although the white elite still stayed in power, the American Revolution was truly revolutionary as shown by a new political system, more opportunities to improve the rights of slaves and women, and a new republican and enlightenment ideological basis.

According to authors Clarke-Stewart and Brentano, “This all changed in the 1960s. The roaring social changes of the period reanimates stagnant divorce reforms and triggered a sharp increase in the divorce rate” (Clarke-Stewart and Brentano 10). Essentially, economic circumstances in the United States improved, which allows for individuals to live apart and independently. Normally, when there are greater working opportunities, there are higher rates for divorce due to the availability of being able to maintain yourself with a job after the divorce. Due to greater economic circumstances, women became more independent from men, enabling themselves to take on jobs outside the family household.
