...More areas were discovered such as Connecticut and New Haven. The puritans who immigrated to New England wanted to create an ideal society away from the Catholic, Baptists, and Quakers. As a result, the Massachusetts government killed four Quakers. In the 1630s, Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson disagreed that the Massachusetts didn’t abolish the Anglicans rules. He believed that the Puritans should not take the Indian lands by force. Anne detested the men influence over Massachusetts government thus she was kicked out. William immigrated to Rhode Island where he found the religion tolerance. Rhode Island was haven for the Jews and Quakers. Also, the church and state were separated. Whenever doubted any evil witch craft or suffered from illness, witches were sentenced to death. In Salem, 19 witches were accused by the judges. However, the prosecution ended when it reached to some well-known families. The Puritans reformed New England using the English-style houses and churches. Since the Indians rejected the colonists’ expansions, the Pequot war raged between them. The Puritans charged the Pequots of killing an English trader. Since the Pequots opposed them, the Puritans allied with the Pequots enemies and attacked their villages. Under the...

...[pic] Joseph Rowntree Foundation Forced Labour Programme Summary of Research Projects Funded in 2009 The first phase of the Foundation’s forced labour programme aims to improve the evidence base through research projects exploring the scope and experience of forced labour in the UK. The following four projects have been funded in this phase. The lead project holder and institution are given for each project. Findings from this research will be published during 2011. The scope of forced labour in the UK – Sam Scott, University of Bristol This study will examine the relationship between vulnerable work and labour exploitation in the UK by assessing the scale and scope of ‘forced labour’. The overall aim is to determine the degree to which the six elements of forced labour – as defined by the International Labour Organisation – can be said to be present across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Beyond this broad aim, the team are also interested in the groups and sectors most associated with forced labour and the policies in place to combat the problem (or compensate victims of it). Secondary data will be collected from four sources: • Academic and ‘grey’ literature • Legal and policy documents • Case material from organisations working with exploited workers (the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB), unions, religious organisations, government agencies) • Media coverage Primary data will be collected from three sources: • Sector focus groups ...

...seven + realm) is a collective name applied to the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of south, east, and central Great Britain during late antiquity【ænˈtɪkwɪti】古代: and the early Middle Ages, conventionally identified as seven: Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia, Essex, Kent, Sussex and Wessex. The Anglo-Saxon kingdoms eventually unified into the Kingdom of England. The term has been in use since the 16th century, but the initial idea that there were seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms is attributed to the English historian Henry of Huntingdon in the 12th century and was first used in his Historia Anglorum.[1] The heptarchy did not consider any of the Sub-Roman Brythonic realms such as Elmet, Rheged, Strathclyde, Ebrauc, Bryneich and Gododdin, and during the same period, what are now Ireland, Scotland and Wales were also divided into comparable petty kingdoms. |Contents | |[hide] | |1 Unification | |2 Anglo-Saxon England heptarchy | |2.1 Other minor kingdoms and territories | |3 Attributed Arms | |4 See also ...

...Up to the Norman intrusion and before the Battle of Hastings in 1066 palace forts were absent. There were structures, for example, the Stonehenge and Causewayed Camps, which belonged to the Stone Age times (3000 – 1800 BC) . During the Bronze Age (1800 – 600 BC) there was performed the greatest Maiden Castle, the Hill-forts of England. The Iron Age period (600 BC – 400 AD) witnessed the improvement of new hill-forts and while the Romans attacked England they created protective structures, for example, the gigantic Hadrian's Wall (Vallum Aelium) and Imperial Forts. The Decrease of the Roman Empire prompted a period in the historical backdrop of England when the local Celts were attacked by the Welsh, the Vikings, the Saxons and the Scots. Another National Defense framework was made by Alfred the Great who developed strengthened towns called “Burhs” (which was later swapped by Burghs then Boroughs)...

...After the war that lasted for seven years, Britain emerged to be victorious. However, the victory was a painful cost; the England government, however, struggled after 1763 to constrain the American colonists some of the financial costs of the empire. The amendment in the British colonial policy strengthened an evolving perception of American political uniqueness and assisted in acceleration of the American Revolution. This adjustment in British approached fortifying a rising feeling of American political personality and accelerated the American Revolution. What started as an argument about economic policies later exposed conflicting differences between the Britain’s and Americans over cherished political standards. The following conflict between the Americans and the Britain’s brought forth another country. The New World sustained new thoughts regarding the way of...

...Wendy Warren explains, "...They were not about diversity." A city in which people are discriminated against and treated harshly because of their race doesn't sound like a community that should be admired by others. A city upon a hill to me means a city in which leadership, unity in the community, and overall happiness of the people take place, but many these traits don't describe a city who is aligned with slavery. Not only were the colonists contradictory to many of the ideals they held by enforcing slavery, but they were aware that slavery was against their goal of becoming the optimal city. The colonists state, "...There will not be any slavery unless we buy the slaves." The colonists had been apart of slavery coming from England, so in an act to seem less condescending of their beliefs they made laws to limit slavery. Wether they are forcing people into slavery or buying them and then forcing them into slavery, the colonists are still treating them inhumanly. All in all, a city in which a population of people are forced into slavery is the furthest idea that comes to mind when thinking about a city upon a...

...Cromwell Have you ever wished that you came from a royal family? Well lucky for Richard Cromwell, his father was a very wealthy man. He was Lord Protector from 25 December 1653 to 3 September 1658 (“Collins, Jacquelin” Dictionary 380). After his father passed away, Richard took his role of Protector. He took office in 1658 immediately after the death of his father, and lasted in office all the way to 25 May 1659 (“Cromwell Richard”Encyclopaedia Britannica). This shows what type of leader he was. Richard had mostly ineffective qualities such as being unable to protect the parliament, lack of experience, and inability to use money wisely. Oliver Cromwell for the most part, was a good leader. He did not like having the Parliament in charge of England. He knew the Parliament was treating the Army poorly, so when he took office, the first thing he did was take the Army’s side. He really pushed the execution of Charles I (“Collins, Jacquelin” Dictionary 380). For a while everyone loved Oliver but by the end of his term, he became a much hated man. The citizens became tired of having such strict rules. Why did he feel he needed to be so strict on the citizens? After his death, his body was exhumed and his head was placed on a pole above the West Minister Hall (“Collins, Jacquelin” Dictionary 381). Richard Cromwell took his father’s place as Lord Protector of the Common Wealth. Richard was born on 4 October, 1626. His parents were Oliver Cromwell and Elizabeth Bourchier. Richard was their...
