__Chesapeake Region, 1609-1750__


Consisted of lands of what is now North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland. It is on the coast because it was thought that it would be easier to defend and protect from outsiders. The Chesapeake Region is split into a couple of areas or sections. The North belonged to Lord Baltimore, the Northern Middle was the Fairfax Proprietary, The Southers Middle was the Virginia Colony, and The South was Granville Proprietary. The most grown plant in the Chesapeake was tobacco. It was believed that it would bring alot of profit to the lands. King James I did not aprrove because he believed it was the way of the "filthy indians" and also it poisoned the people.

=__**Anna Hutchinson & The Puritans**__=

//What was her problem with them? What was their problem with her? Results? So what?//
Anna Hutchinson was a woman of great authority and beliefe. She was not a retiring, defential wife and mother, but a powerful religious figure in her own rihgt. She believed in woman gaining right in the religious field, she was greatly supported by many people across the region, also many women joined her movement. The puritans however believed in strict ruling of religion. No women should be involved in the church or congregations. There-for many of the followers moved out of Massachussets and to mostly New Hampshire and Maine. The reason they left is because the Puritans obviously had more power and authority then her, and they believed in basically the exact opposite of Anna Hutchinson and her followers. So what? I believe that this was the first step toward womans rights and religious freedom. This was not exactly an easy thing to do. No one challenged the Puritans but Hutchinson stood up for what she believed and did not exactly have the best result.

__Diffrent Typed of Colonies in America__

 * 1) Royal- ruled by king or queen.
 * 2) Proprietary- a person who owned land from that was allowed by the king.
 * 3) Chartered- the colony is run by a company.
 * 4) Self-governing- the people control there own economy and colony.

__Chapter 3 Preview:__

 * In 1734 the Great Awakening begins in Massachusetts. The Great Awakening is a period of religion revival and this is important because this is the period when religion becomes an even greater deal or topic for the colonist, and also very personal to the average person.

Data Collection:

 * The European population in North America grows much more dramaticcally in the 18th century. Reaches 2 million by 1770. This is important because the popolation or ethnicity of the colonies will change greatly. That will lead to more wars and battles.
 * The non-Indian population grows by 1/4 of a million in the North American Colonies. 25 percent were African-Americans.
 * 60 percent of the whites were males during the 1650's.

__Social Mobility:__
__what is it? How did apply in colonial times? today?__ A system that allows the people in the society to move "up and down" meaning they are allowed to gain and loose power. This is reffering to or leading to the social pyramid. There are some affects of the social status. One is that it is all determined or classified by money and material possisions. So some people even killed to gain it. How ever it could be lost, if a drug dealer has the biggest house on the block, he could get firgured by the cops and loose all of it This applied to the colonial times, because it would show who would have the most authority and power in the colony. A rich man has much more influence and choice in the cities laws and rules, rather that a poor man who was looked down upon. Today this system is not very common, because the democratic system supports equal rights to all of it citizens. However there are still some cases where this does take affect. If a man with not that much of great wealth decides to work hard he will be able to move up.

__French and Indian War:__
The French and Indian war started off with struggles between the french and the British when the peacefulness ended after struggles and conflicts started rising between the two empires. The British started pushing the Eauropeans and Indian-American of there land. The Eauropeans tolorated the Indians and actually had tolerance for there culture and beliefs. The British did not, they tried to force Christianity on them and also didnt allow them to live in the cities or in the "center" of the colonies. Also William III was crowned by Louis XIV and William opposed the French expanssion there for he wanted war to claim more territory to the Americas. In 1755 Bruddock tries to retake Fort Necessity back but failed miserably. The Indians played a major role in the war, because they too had many offensive and defensive techniques. For the french they were allies with the Iroqoius Nation. The French ended and the treaty that ended it was the Treaty of Paris signed in 1763. Also the British estaplished the Proclamation Line of 1763 limited the colonists on western expansion Map pg111: Nortth America in 1763:
 * Mostly controlled by the British and Spanish
 * The Western/Northern area is mostly unexplored.
 * The French didnt have great control of the Caribean.
 * Little Russian control.
 * Proclamation Line of 1763 limited the colonists on western expansion.
 * Hudsons Bay Company had a great part of land control.

__Chapter 4 Summary:__
In the 1750's the American colonies and British rulers had major disputes about the American's independence. The British were basically controlling mostly everything they did. The revolution crisis began as the Americans found themselves fighting for their own independence. Soon after, the Colonies divide and they come up with the Albany plan, that allowed Parliament to make a one general government in America for all colonies. Few years after that, the French and Indian war began in 1754. The war was split into 3 phases, the 2nd phase included the Seven's Years War. William Pitt takes control and the Siege of Quebec began. After that the Peace of Paris was created and the war was over. The war had many effects on the British Empire and American colonies. The British had a large amount of debt from the war, and soon created limits and taxes for the colonists. The colonists were piled with Sugar Acts, Stamp Acts, Currency Acts, and even the Proclamation of 1763 which limited their expansion. The colonists started revolts, such as the Paxton Boys, and the Stamp Act revolt. The Sons of Liberty revolted on the Stamp Act by terrorizing and burning stamps. The Townshend Act and Mutiny Act was placed on the colonists yet again. The Boston Massacre broke out on March 5, 1770 between British soldiers and Americans. The British Tea company, East Indian Company, weren't selling their tea so they passed the Tea Act. Colonists didn't enjoy the tax of tea and started what became the Boston Tea Party. They dressed up like Indians and dumped all the tea into the Boston Harbor. Later, the First Continental Congress was organized following after that was the Battles of Lexington and Concord.

__Wordle of Declaration of Independence:__
media type="custom" key="7032201" The Declaration of Independence was for the people of the America and for the change of the colonist. According to wordle.net there were many main focuses while the Declaration was written. One main focus was the Government. The people chose to have a central government and self representation for each state. Also it stated that they are now free and no longer under British Control. Another main focus was the people of America. This showed that the people could vote and be represented unlike when they were under the British control. There was a less comon word that i thought was very significant and the was power. Power after the control of the English will now be distributred by state.

__Articles of Confederation:__

__Assumption of Republicanism- pg.149:__

 * All men are created equal.
 * Citizens must gain there wealth.
 * People are able to loose and gain wealth depending on there success.
 * The condition of birth of a child mostly always determined there future and success.

Analysis: All men are created equal are not completely right. Only the whites gained all of the rights, blacks had none, and women had a couple of rights if any(deferentiated from colony to colony). The way that citizens must gain there wealth is not completely correct. Some were born into it and others were just born into a non-wealthy family. The people didnt really have many education sources to build up there chances of success. I believe that these assumptions now play into todays nation, because everyone has the right to freedom, religion, and libery. So there are no limits on success now a days.

__Centralization and Decentralization:__
Cetralized Government is when a group of people or one person rules; a dictator or king. Decentralization is when a group of people have much affect on the power. For example an education system. There are laws made by cities, some by state authority, and also the national system could have laws included. Another example is the tax system, there are variation on what items get taxed by states, town, and national. One very big example is the age limitations that differ from field to field in a daily bases; age limitations on drinking, driving, school, jobs, and even smoking. I dont see why the people of america would want to be under the centralized government because the had just broken away form (england) and im sure they will retalitate again if they were under it. The most affective aproach they should take under there government is decentralized government because it will give the people alot of power that are going to affect there lives.
