...Based on your reading of the documents what was the nature and characters of these colonies? According to what is presented in the documents how might the colonies be distinguished from one another. (Compare/contrast) The beginnings of the American colonies started in the 17th century with settlers from different European countries such as Spain, France, England, Holland and Sweden. The colony Jamestown, was the first to establish in the Eastern Coast in the year 1607, in what is today known as Virginia and a little more than a decade later in the year 1620 the pilgrims settled at Plymouth in what is today known as Massachusetts. England gained control of the 13 colonies after winning the war against France. These 13 colonies were Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. The first settlers of the American colonies came for different motives, all looking to fulfill different aspects of their lives, some looking for freedom of creed, others to improve their financial situation and some others for adventure. Historians distinguished the different colonies defined by their own unique characteristics based on where the settlers came from, who found them and what they did for living. The 13 colonies were grouped in three different categories; the New England colonies, the Middle and the Southern Colonies. The New England Colonies were mostly characterized...

...The transatlantic slave trade, a brutal and inhumane system, played a pivotal role in shaping the Chesapeake's racial and social order. European traders, primarily from England, Portugal, and the Netherlands, engaged in the capture and transportation of enslaved Africans across the Atlantic. The demand for slaves in the Americas was insatiable, leading to the development of complex networks of trade routes, slave markets, and plantations. The Chesapeake, with its fertile land and lucrative tobacco industry, became a major destination for enslaved Africans. By the early 18th century, the slave trade had become firmly established, and the region witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of enslaved people. This influx of African slaves significantly altered the demographics of the Chesapeake, transforming it from a society primarily composed of European indentured servants to one with a substantial and growing Black population. A quote from the article What Was Life Like in...

...HUM 1000: WORLD CIVILIZATIONS NOTES BY DR. KAKAI P.W THE NATURE AND ORIGIN OF CIVILIZATION IN AFRICA Definition of key terms As we begin this course, it is crucial to first discuss our understanding of the concept ‘civilization’. This is a comparative term which is usually applied in comparison to such words as ‘barbarian’ ‘savage’ and ‘primitive’. In classical antiquity the Europeans used the word ‘barbarian’ to refer to a foreigner who was regarded as inferior (Ogutu and Kenyanchui, An Introduction To African History, 1991 p33). Do you think this is still the way we use the word barbarian? The Latin speakers referred to hunters, food-gatherers as savage. In the 17th century this term ‘savage’ referred to a person without art, literacy, or society who lived in fear of existence and death. ‘Primitive’ on the other hand, in Latin meant ‘the first or original’. Europeans used these words interchangeably when referring to non-Europeans while the word civilization was preserved to describe historical developments of European people (ibid). Now the term civilization is no longer confined to the above development but also extends reference to non-European communities. Attributes of civilization includes observance to law, belonging to an organized society, having a society of literate people with advanced developments in urbanization, agriculture, commerce, arts and technology. The French thinkers of the 18th century referred to a person of the arts and literature...
