...Massachusetts Bay Colony The Massachusetts Bay Colony was the most successful and prosperous early American colony and should be selected for future settlers to live in. The colony was founded based on religious freedom and created a representative democracy that contrasted the beliefs of the Church of England. Furthermore, religion created an unbreakable bond between the people and allowed them to navigate through unexpected and hard times. The colony was innovative, utilizing systems still found in today’s society, creating a lucrative economy. In essence, the colony was uprooted in religious, governmental, and economic practices and simulated what an adequate society could achieve and overcome. The Massachusetts Bay Colony was created on philosophies that...

...purpose of this research is to examine the events and issues surrounding the Boston Tea Party. The intention of the research will be to set the overall order of issues that emerged and establish the political context in which the Tea Party would take place, and then to discuss the impact of the incident on the colonies, that would ultimately lead to the Revolutionary War. Understanding the importance of the Boston Tea Party cannot be obtained without an understanding of the issues and events that preceded it. The Party, which occurred in 1773, had its origins several years earlier, in the wake of the French and Indian War, which ended in 1763. In 1766, Parliament passed the Quartering Act, which provided for "billeting, provisioning and discipline of British forces, requiring colonial assemblies to provide barracks and supplies such as candles, fuel, vinegar, beer and salt for the regulars, costs of the Army in America at the 'dictate' of Parliament" (Tuchman 167). Further to this point, the Seven Years' War was over; why the need for such a large standing army in America? This first Quartering Act was, however, obeyed in general terms, and even partly rescinded as to enforcement (182), until other Parliamentary measures pointed up colonists' feeling of oppression. By 1767, the Stamp Act had been passed, and then revoked in the face of an American boycott of covered goods. In 1767, the Townshend Acts legalized import duties on "glass, lead, paints, paper, and tea." The...

...Natives and their Role in the American Frontier As Americans, we do not usually question how we came to this land or why we are able to live here as we do. We believe that the American frontier is this grand historical past of our growth as a nation. However, the country we know today as the United States of America was originally inhabited by natives such as the Native Americans, or Indians as they are commonly known as, and Mexicans who were robbed of their homeland in order for the white man to take over control. As citizens of this country, it is important to know how the natives were treated and portrayed in literature in order to become educated about our country and the people that inhabited this land before us. Being ignorant about a particular culture leads to misguided feelings and judgments that are not normally acceptable. By looking at examples from John Smith’s The Chesapeake Indians, Mary Rowlandson’s A True History of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson, and Frederick Jackson Turner’s The Significance of the Frontier in American History, we will see that natives were portrayed negatively in popular literature and why it is important to understand how they are represented is justified by the colonial expansion of the American frontier. In early literature written by English settlers, Native Americans were portrayed with very negative connotations. The writers often used words such as: brutal, dark, uncivilized, and savage to depict the native...

Contrary to populace belief “the separation of church and state,” did not originate with the ACLU but for the most part, it originated with the first British Baptists that arrived in Colonial America they were defenders of true “religious liberty.” Moreover, the distinction between religious liberty and tolerance of religion is significant. “Religious liberty” is a right of every men, however, tolerance is...

...a hot bed of colonist rebellion against the British Government. The citizens in Boston, of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, had become fed up with unjustified taxation levied against them by the British. The colonists of Boston also saw it to be problematic that the colonies were subject to British rule, but were not represented in Parliament. In the half-decade prior to the Revolutionary War, the city of Boston hosted two monumental events that rallied the colonists into the direction of independence; the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. A man named George Roberts Twelve Hewes had the honor of being able to witness and take direct involvement in both the Massacre and the Tea Party. George Roberts Twelve Hewes was born and raised in Massachusetts and saw the development of the Revolution from the perspective of an “everyday” colonist. He was born on August 25th, 1742. Hewes was a shoemaker by trade and was never able to amount an impressive net worth. If anything, it can be argued that Hewes was very much more poverty stricken than anything else. Money never seemed to influence Hewes’s actions; instead George Roberts Twelve Hewes was a man of principal and integrity. Prior to the Revolutionary War, Hewes participated in both the Boston Massacre and Boston Tea Party. During the Revolutionary War, Hewes served as a Privateer and a member of the militia for the Thirteen Colonies. After the Revolution, George Robert Twelve Hewes moved to Upstate New York where he lived out...

Table of Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………………3 Gambling Through the Years……………………………………………………………………3 Types of Casinos…………………………………………………………………………………6 Careers in Gaming ……………………………………………………………………………….8 Conclusion……………………………………………………………………………………….10 Introduction The casino and the gaming industry has gotten to be very popular throughout the years. The fact that different states and countries are allowing gambling into their areas, means that more jobs will be popping up for the people of these areas and who are in this industry. I feel that the gambling industry will offer employment to many people for years to come. Information that needs to be considered are that casinos are be putting up in almost every state, but you also have to look at online casinos and casinos that are now on cruise ships. Between Resorts, cruises and just the casinos themselves, there are many positions that need to be filled to keep these establishments running. Gambling Through the Years There is no exact date of when gambling was started. There is record of the Chinese doing it in 2300 B.C (casino-hstory.org). There are also stories of the ancient Greeks, Queen Elizabeth and the Romans gambling in some way as well. A lot of the games that are played in recent times actually have a history of starting in Europe and China. Gaming...

Do Not Cite or Quote Without Permission E-MARRIAGE: BREAKING THE MARRIAGE MONOPOLY Adam Candeub and Mae Kuykendall ∗ ABSTRACT: This Article advocates updating the law governing marriage formation to recognize the shift in social interactions from real to virtual life. We argue that couples can use internet communications not only to marry when separated by great distance but also to choose which state’s laws will authorize their marriage. In particular, same sex couples could marry under the laws of a state that permit such unions, regardless of where they exchange vows. States inadvertently have created geographic monopolies, requiring each marriage receiving the benefits of their licensing laws to be performed within their borders. This Article’s model builds upon established precedents, such as proxy marriage and choice of law for multijurisdictional and internet contracts. Using the power of internet communications, our proposal allows states to compete over marriage’s procedures and substance. Depending on a couple’s preferences for “e-ritual” and a state’s desired level of regulatory control, couples could consume the trappings of a traditional ceremony...

...Ever since the puritans established their Massachusetts Bay colony in the early 1600’s, gambling has been one of the biggest controversies that this country has had to deal with. As time passed and land based gambling became more and more regulated and legalized, the demand for gaming increased along with it. With the relatively recent creation and advancement of the Internet, this demand was soon transferred to Americas quickest growing craze… Online gambling. Online gambling and its legality have caused a great deal of controversy in the recent past. The industry is so profitable and the demand is so high, that despite government acts to make it illegal, people still find their way around it. There are those that argue that online gambling should be government regulated and taxed in the U.S., while there are also those who believe that legalizing it will only lead to an increase in addiction rates and be detrimental to our society. By legalizing online gambling in the United States, not only would the government amass a massive profit margin from the regulation and taxing of the industry, but also thousands of new jobs and businesses will be created, and it would make for a more safer and social gaming experience. As there are different forms of land based gambling, there is almost the exact same amount of games when it comes to online gambling. These games can be classified in two different categories, games of chance and games of skill. Any type of casino based game...

...Assignment 1 How was the south changed? The chief accomplishment of the new south was the expansion of textile production, as the number of cotton mills grew from 161 to 400. There was also an increase in the lumber industry, coal production, and tobacco growth. Although, the majority of southern farmers were not flourishing, which caused sharecropping and tendancy to increase between blacks and whites. The bourbons perfected a political alliance with northern conservatives and economic alliance with northern capitalists. They also reduced state expenditures and public debt. Attitudes about race became more strongly felt and the prospect of an electoral alliance between poor whites and blacks that could threaten the power structure became a possibility, so the southern states came up with various ways to disenfranchise blacks. Also, “Jim Crow” laws were enacted to mandate public separation of the races. Legalized segregation reinforced the notions of white racial superiority and African-American inferiority, creating an atmosphere that encouraged violence, and during the 1890s lynching’s of blacks rose significantly. Define the New West. After 1865, the federal government encouraged western settlement and economic exploitation. The transcontinental railroads opened the western half of the nation to economic development and created an interconnected national market. Needing rapid communication, companies built telegraph lines along the railroad as the track was laid...
