...of state of colonies to be less cruel. The poem also talks about Phillis’ life and her struggles. The poem was in her book Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. In the poem she talks about her difficult childhood. When she was a child, she was taken away from her parents and then was brought into slavery. It also describes her love of freedom. She discovered this love by being a slave. England’s relationship with the colonies is compared to the relation between a slave and his/her slave holder. This is important to US History because Phillis Wheatly became the first English-speaking person of African descent to publish a book. Phillis’ owner was John Wheatly, he bought her in 1761. When the discovered her intelligence, they taught her how to read and write. With the help of the Wheatly’s, she was introduced to many important people. Although the Wheatlys are slave owners, they were very kind to offer her an education. “The Creek Indians, Blacks, and Slavery” The Creek Indians participated in slavery, but they had a different perception of it. They believed it did not matter what ethnicity you were. During the deerskin trades, they experience black slaves being owned by white people. Soon after their meeting, Creek Indians started buying slaves. The blacks introduced the Creek Indians to new ideas and skills. All of these events where happening during 1700-1817. The blacks help to produce the Civil War of 1813-1814. After the lost, the Red Sticks and some...

...located on the northeast bank of the James River. It is about 2.5 miles southwest of present-day Williamsburg. Founded primarily for economic reasons, the company hopes to gain major profit from the resources of the new world. They wanted to expand England's territorial claims and create new opportunities. The ‘American Dream’ is freedom and opportunity for the world. They followed this belief by working hard and creating a new life for themselves. They also hoped to establish a firm base for Christianity for Native Americans. My claim is that Jamestown was the first place to be settled in North America when one hundred English men and boys arrived in North America. On May 13, they chose Jamestown, Virginia. They named their new settlement after their king James L. This all showed their hope for the new world and want to be successful. Many wanted more money, but for those who had nothing, they just wanted a fresh start, or their first. They valued creating a future and success for themselves....

...empires, the tremendous wealth that resulted from the expansion of global trade, and the development of colonial cultures and societies in the Americas. Scholars call these cultures and societies creole societies, because they blended elements of European, native American, and African culture and society. Developments in England, 1641-1688 But revolutions are also inspired by ideas, and ideas that we may take for granted today had much of their start in England. Political conflict in Great Britain was a common theme of the seventeenth century. In 1641, a civil war led to the execution of the king (Charles I), and the establishment of a republic, what was known as the Commonwealth. Politics and religion both played a part in the Civil War, with the English nobility and wealthy commoners (whose interests were represented in Parliament, England’s legislature) wanting a greater say in how royal revenues were raised and spent. This republic quickly became a military dictatorship, and the old king’s son (Charles II) was invited back. But when Charles II died, the next king soon ran into trouble with Parliament, who feared that this king, James II, wanted too much power for himself. So in 1688, Parliament took replaced England’s king, James II, with a different set of rulers, William and Mary. No one lost their head this time. William and Mary’s supporters called this a “Glorious” Revolution. This revolution also granted civil and some religious liberties, and established the...

...Imagine a world in which you lost all of your rights,and each law passed was required to follow. This unimaginable fantasy became the American Colonist’s reality. The Revolution was the start of American Independence. It was caused by several events between England and the colonists.

...“Jamestown and triumphs” Julie Atkinson Reconstructive US History Professor Brumbaugh December 20,2014 Before the settlers landed in Jamestown, The Indians occupied the land and lived there for centuries. They were the first people to arrive in Jamestown. Some say there were 25,000 Indians; others say around 50,000 of the American natives, who lived on the land. There were about thirty different tribes whom the powhatan chiefdom took charge. However, each tribe had their own chief. In time there would be a change; King James 1 of England granted for another colony to be established under the Virginia Company of London which consisted of many wealthy Englishmen who wanted to invest their money into the company. They expected to open new lands for financial and patriotic explorations and use the resources of the new world. They wanted to establish English shipbuilding industries and to convert the Indians to Protestant Christianity. The Spanish were aggressive to convert the Indians to Roman Catholicism. Since there were already Spanish colonies in America, the English needed to develop new employment opportunities for the English. For this reason, English people wanted their own colonies. Around the time of 1607, there were three ships sailing from England: the Susan Constant, the Godspeed and the Discovery. They held around hundred and fifty English men, and boys who sailed four months before they reached Jamestown. During their voyage they encountered crowded conditions...

...Britain instead of the Low Countries primarily because of Britain’s abundant and cheap coal resources, combined with the central government’s ability to use mercantilist policies and naval power to reap the greatest benefits from an expanding European and world trade. Once it had taken the lead from the Dutch, and defeated the French, Britain used its comparative advantage to consolidate its dominant position through free trade until the late Victorian period when its technological innovations spread to its competitors. While he agrees that the political, cultural and scientific context of British industrialization was important to its primacy, his approach does not claim, as many interpretations have, that British, and later European and American,...

...A group of a few women born in the second decade of the century might together illustrate the diversity of the twentieth-century novelist's interests. Elizabeth Taylor (1912-1975), the author the novels The Soul of Kindness and Blaming, is a refined stylist whose swift flashes of dialogue and reflection and deft sketches of the wider background give vitality to her portrayals of well-to-do family life in commuter land. Some of her later novels are In a Summer Season (1961), and The Wedding Group (1968.) Elizabeth Taylor has humour and compassion as well as disciplined artistry, and has logically been compared with Jane Austen. So has Barbara Pym (1913-1980) who tasted fame, sadly enough, only at the end of her life (her real name was Mary Crampton). Another restrained and perceptive artist, she is a master of J f ingenuous and candid dialogue and reflection which are resonant with comic overtones. Critics I called her "modern Jane Austin. Excellent Women (1952) and A Glass of Blessings (1958) were reprinted in the late 1970s when Philip Larkin and David Cecil drew attention to the quality of her neglected work. Later novels, The Sweet Dove Died (1978) and Quartet in Autumn (1978), are no less engaging in their blend of pathos and comedy. One might well put beside these two English writers the Irish writer Mary Lavin (1912-1996), whose short stories focus on the ups and downs of family life with quiet pathos and humour. Her novels, The House in Clewes Street (1945)...
