Chapter 4: the Colonies Grow, 1607-1770 The Colonies Grow 1607–1770 Why It Matters Independence was a spirit that became evident early in the history of the American people. The spirit of independence contributed to the birth of a new nation, one with a new government and a culture that was distinct from those of other countries. The Impact Today Americans continue to value independence. For example: • The right to practice one’s own religion freely is safeguarded. • Americans value the right to express themselves freely and to make their own laws.

The number of people living in the colonies rose from about 250,000 in 1700 to approximately 2.5 million by the mid-1770s. The population of African Americans increased at an even faster rate—from about 28,000 to more than 500,000. 100 CHAPTER 4 The Colonies Grow Immigration was important to this growth. and thin, rocky soil made large-scale farming Between 1607 and 1775, almost a million peo- difficult.

  • Massachusetts Bay Colony
    Massachusetts Bay Colony (Edited from Wikipedia) The Massachusetts Bay Colony was an English settlement on the east coast of North America (Massachusetts Bay) in the 17th century. The settlement was located in New England, situated around the present-day cities of Salem and Boston. The territory administered by the colony included much of present-day central New England, including portions of the U.S. states of Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Territory claimed but never administered by the colonial government extended as far west as the Pacific Ocean. The colony was founded by the owners of the Massachusetts Bay Company, which included investors in the failed Dorchester Company, which had in 1623 established a short-lived settlement on Cape Ann. The Massachusetts Bay Colony, begun in 1628, was the company's second attempt at colonization. The colony was successful, with about 20,000 people migrating to New England in the 1630s. The population was strongly Puritan, and its governance was dominated by a small group of leaders who were strongly influenced by Puritan religious leaders. Although its governors were elected, the electorate were limited to freemen, who had been examined for their religious views and formally admitted to the local church. As a consequence, the colonial leadership exhibited intolerance to other religious views, including Anglican, Quaker, and Baptist theologies. Although the colonists initially had decent relationships with the local native populations, frictions arose over cultural differences, which were further exacerbated by Dutch colonial expansion. These led first to the Pequot War (1636–1638), and then to King Philip's War (1675–1678), after which most of the natives in southern New England had been pacified, killed, or driven away.

  • Chapter 2 Critique of Puritan New England
    Critique of the American Institution of Education Richard B. Wells © 2013 Chapter 2 Critique of Puritan New England § 1. The Incubation Period of American Civilization What I am calling the incubation period is the nearly one and one-half centuries from the establishment of Jamestown in 1607 until 1750, just after the end of King George's War (1744-8). This is the period in history telling the story of what became the United States of America from the evolution of divers British colonial enterprises into a distinctly different North American civilization. Meaning no disrespect to the people of the also-American nations of Canada and Latin America, I am going to call this 'the' American civilization because I have to call it something and because when "America" is referred to today in most countries what is most often meant by this reference is the USA (judging from my experiences of being called an "American" by people from every continent except central and South America, whose people have tended to call me either a "yanqui" or a "norteamericano," and Australia, whose people have tended to call me a "Yank"; real Yankees, however, laconically inform me I am not one of them). The date 1750 is somewhat arbitrarily chosen. A number of historians have seemed to favor the year 1763 to mark the historical epoch, apparently on the basis of, as Morison and Commager put it, "it was not until 1763 that the Thirteen Colonies began to strain at their imperial leash." In point of fact crisp dates marking historical epochs are rarely justifiable by actual events.

Who is management and who is the work force? So the issue at hand is, how does the community get along? There has to be some set of rules or guidelines to follow.

  • Transcript of Lecture Delivered by Richard S. Dunn, Ph D. on September 12, 1998 John Winthrop, Jr., of Connecticut, the First Govenor of the East End
    Transcript of Lecture Delivered By Richard S. Dunn, Ph D. on September 12, 1998 John Winthrop, Jr., of Connecticut, The First Govenor of the East End If the man I’m going to tell you about this afternoon had had his way 325 years ago, East Hampton would now be a town in the state of Connecticut rather than in New York. Whether that would have been a good thing or a bad thing, I leave to you. But John Winthrop, Jr’s repeated efforts to annex the East End of Long Island to Connecticut are well worth examining. Obviously he failed. But the East Enders in the1650s, 1660s, and 1670s wanted him to succeed. And the struggle that he led for about twenty years for control of eastern Long Island reveals a lot about the political situation in English America at that time. John Winthrop, Jr. was one of the most attractive, intelligent, and interesting men in seventeenth-century New England. He has always been overshadowed by his famous father, John Winthrop (who was governor of Massachusetts from 1630 to 1649), and indeed the father was a more creative and influential leader than the son. But John Winthrop, Jr. was a highly creative and influential leader in his own right. He was born in England in 1606, came to America one year after his father in 1631, and had a strikingly diversified career until he died in 1676. Winthrop was good at many different things. He was the premier scientist in early America, and a founding member of the Royal Society in England.
