...Colonies in North America differed notably in how they lived from their counterparts in the Southern colonies. These differences included economic, cultural, settlement reasons, geographical, and regional distinctions. Colonial America depended heavily on the natural resources from the environmentas they aided in meeting the basic requirements for the individuals as well as the colonies at large. In essence, these natural resources dictated each region’s unique speciality and in turn steered the economic state and development of each colony. Most importantly, the human and environmental interaction determined the people moving into each colony. The northern colonies were mostly mountainous with colder climates and a thin layer of soil that...

...during the Revolution. As the Revolution ended, Americans felt overjoyed and united. They managed to overlook some of the differences between them that would eventually lead to an intense conflict in the years to come. Social, economical, and political differences between the two regions would eventually become so intense that they would cause one of the bloodiest battles of all time--- the Civil War. Differences began as early as the years of the colonial period. To begin, the Northern and Southern colonies developed vastly different economies. The Chesapeake colonies' most important staple crop became tobacco. Tobacco affected nearly every aspect of their lives. The colonies were able to collect many duties on tobacco. Harvesting tobacco called for a great deal of work. However, the colonists were unprepared for this work. They were lazy and greedy. Whenever possible, planters in Virginia and the Southern colonies purchased able-bodied workers who were capable of getting the job done. In all of the Southern colonies, white planters forced African slaves to produce staple crops for the world market. In Virginia and Georgia, colonists were granted land for each additional servant they transported to their colony. Along with tobacco, wood, naval stores, and rice were also strong factors in the economic success of Southern colonies such as Georgia and the Carolinas. In contrast to the...

...Throughout the 1840’s and 1850’s a growing tension developed between the Northern and Southern states of America. That tension was primarily focused on the existence of slavery in the Southern states. Most Northern states had abolished slavery by 1850 and made a promise to the people to end slavery completely. They wanted the South to begin to become similar to the North, and to live under the concept of free labor, and not rely on slavery for productivity. The resentment for the interference of the North angered southerners because they felt that it was not the place of the federal government to interfere. Ever since the American Revolution sectional differences arose, the first being those favoring greater states rights and those favoring greater federal rights. Ever since the Revolution more and more dissimilarities arose between the North and the South due to differences in modernization and societal development. These different ideals caused tensions between the two sections and difficulties in staying together as a single union. The Southern ways of life were being targeted and altered by the North’s inconsiderate decisions of their societies foundation, though the North had a strong basis. The southern secession in 1860 was in direct result of the inability for the North and South to cooperate and coexist, and was the only possible alternative, in the minds of the southerners, for the different methods of living to remain. There were many aspects that varied among the North...

New England consisted of Puritans who set up their religious societies only in Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay, and Connecticut. (Doc 9) John Winthrop preached about following God’s will and lead the new community together. (Doc 1) New England also had an Articles of Agreement where the first clause is about getting a faithful minister to lead the ways of Christ.

...Justin Baker R. Brogan US History 1865 Midterm Essay #1: Question #1: Northern, Middle, and Southern Colonies Compare and Contrast America has always been a land of diversity but also a land of unity. This statement also applied to the first English settlements that were established here in North America. In the beginning years of America, the colonies could be divided into three regional areas: New England colonies, middle colonies and the southern colonies. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island comprised the northern colonies; New York, Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania made up the middle colonies; and Virginia, Maryland, Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia composed the southern colonies. These three colonial areas had both similarities and differences that will be analyzed in respects to their economic base, political structures, and attitudes toward slavery established in these three regional areas throughout this essay. Although many different types of Europeans founded the colonies throughout the eastern seaboard they were some similarities as to how they were established and how they made their economic bases. Throughout the Norton text I’ve noticed that all of the colonies were established through some sort of business enterprise, whether it was through the Massachusetts Bay Company, or the Virginia Company, or even a lone entrepreneur, looking to make a fortune for them. These businesses were all expected to turn a profit, some of them...

...attention to other areas of the painting, I noticed the detailed landscape upon which this scene was set. The museum’s painting can be recognized as a northern painting, even without prior knowledge of the artist who painted it. Two distinct features in this painting are strongly indicative of a northern painting. One of these said features is the landscape setting. Northern works of art deal strongly with naturalism. The second indication that this may be a northern painting has to do with the people gathered around Christ. It is easy to tell that these individuals are merely common folk. A southern painting would most likely feature angels or clergymen gathered around Christ, but within paintings from the north was the concept of humanism. In lamens terms, humanism is merely a system of thought in which human beings are of utmost importance as opposed to the divine or supernatural. In summation, both styles of this painting, naturalism and humanism, are indicative of a northern painting. Dissimilar to paintings of the North, which dealt heavily with naturalism, Southern paintings were more abstract, and less detailed, and mostly featured classical mythology and religious scenes. The works of art from the North convey a more accurate depiction of Christianity and do so by allowing the emotion of the artwork to be felt by the viewer. Northern...

...The moral, economic, and political differences between the North and South were significant. The Confederate or Southern economy heavily relied on slave labor to sustain plantations, particularly the production of cash crops. John C. Calhoun articulated the Southern view asserting the necessity of slave labor for the growth of the Southern economy, and the constitutional rights of slaveholders themselves. However, opposing Northerners such as William H. Seward condemned slavery as a moral evil of slavery and that it was not in line with the liberty and democracy that America was founded on. States’ rights versus federal authority was another deeply divisive issue in the 1850s. This issue...

...them throughout states in the Northern region were slavery was prohibited. Scott and his wife eventually settled in St. Louis with the Emerson’s after Emerson retired. In 1846 after Dr. Emerson’s unexpected death Scott filed a petition for his freedom with the St. Louis courts. Scott’s lawyers were dependent on the ruling in the Winny vs. Whiteside case in which determined that slave who was taken by their owners to states that did not allow slavery for extended periods of time should be therefore granted freedom. Many cases tried after the Winny vs Whiteside case such as Rachel vs Walker ruled in favor of the slave on accounts of that decision. Missouri courts also ruled in favor of the slave and in turn granted Scott his freedom. The victory was short lived because in 1849 Emerson’s brother in law filed an appeal with the Missouri Supreme Court and on accounts of the decision made in the Strader vs. Emerson case Scott’s original ruling was overturned and his freedom was revoked by Supreme Court Justice Roger B Taney. In delivering the Supreme Court...

...Advantages that the North had over the South Leading to the Civil War Before the American Civil War had started the North had many advantages over the South that would help lead the North to victory. These resources gave northern soldiers the upper hand against the southern soldiers during many of the battles. Without the advantages the North had over the South, the Civil War could have had a different ending for the United States. The Union was better equipped for the Civil War because of a range of advantages over the Confederate Army that included advanced industrialization and economics, a larger population, a superior Navy, and an advanced transportation network. One of the major advantages that the North had over the South was their advanced...

...The division of American Industrialization caused economic and political differences between the North and South, such as their diverse industrialization and sectional politics. To begin with, the North’s Economy was one of the reasons that caused division of American Industrialization. The Northern Industrial Economy was based on textile and manufacturing. The causes of the Industrial North were that the population was provided by the labor force, populated areas, lack of an open space, as well as the poor climate and growing season. The first factories were the Samuel Slater Mill, built in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and the Booming Industrial Center located in Lowell, Massachusetts. In addition to the causes of Industrial North, there were the results of the Northern industry, which happened in 1804 that left all states North of Maryland’s ban slavery, including the Northwest Territory. Second, the South’s agricultural economy was another reason that also caused the division of American Industrialization. The Southern Industrial Economy was based on large plantations, and farms that focused on agriculture. Cash crops were grown for sales, such as tobacco, cotton, and sugar. The causes of Agricultural South consisted of a...

This was the first time in the history of United States that Women actively participated during the Civil War, and the best part is that the participation of the women from the northern and southern side. Northern women played a significant role on the Union side of civil war while Southern War played a significant role on the Confederate side of the Civil War. Although there is not much difference as how actively women from north and south put themselves on the war from as it was almost equal but the major difference was the percentage of participation on the northern front was much more from women as compared to the southern end. Unfortunately, the economy in the south would be the falter to its defeat. However, even though it was wrong and immoral, the South had the upper hand by having slaves do the work that the women did in the north. During the Civil War of 1861, women and men came together to help fight for the cause. In the Northern states, women organized ladies' aid societies to supply the Union troops with everything they needed, from food to clothing to cash. But many women wanted to take a more active role in the war effort. Women were inspired by the work of Florence Nightingale and her fellow nurses in the Crimean War, that they tried to find a way to work on the front lines, caring...

...origin that the word “ ‘arabah ” means wilderness and the suffix “ 'ereb “ means mixture of peoples. Both terms are appropriate to them because wherever Arabs have conquered, the lands became deserted; the Arabian peninsula itself was not so dry actually and to prove it, Yemen which is a country in the Arabian Peninsula that had an irrigation network that allowed the land to be fruitful became dry after the Northern Arabs invaded and restrained the Sabean kingdom. The second term is also suitable to define Arabs, as they are indeed a mixture of different peoples. Arabs themselves recognize to come from two unrelated headmen: Qahtan (Southern Arabs) and Adnan (Northern Arabs), to be respectively identified with a Sabean and an Ishmaelite ancestor. (Thearabiannight100, 2011) In the most ancient records, the whole Arabia was commonly intended under the common name of “Kush”. Then, there has been a clear difference between Northern and Southern Arabia since early times that lasted for centuries. The Arabs are the result of the progressive mixture of both Northern and Southern Arabia that developed over the original Kushite background. (Thearabiannight100,...
