The Chesapeake Region:
Jamestown was founded by a fleet of 104 men in the spring of 1607. Once they settled they had to face many problems like Malaria which was very common for that area. IUnfortunately the Europeans settles did not have any immunity top it at all. Their colony was at risk of extinction when they were down to 38 men and very scarce amounts of food and supplies. Thankfully Captain John Smith came to their rescue. Under the discipline of De La Warr they found ways to survive, for example by harvesting crops like tobacco. The colony began to emerge throughout Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina but were not always under the same control, some were run by the English government and others by small private companies.

Anne Hutchinson and the Purtians
What was her problem with them? What was their problem with her? Results? So what ?

Anne Hutchiunson and the Puritans did not get along because she was a female who caused disruptions and commotion with things that the Puitans felt she shouldnt have. This made the Puritans wonder if other women would be like this and start to go against the role they are supposed to lead. The Puritans were used to the idea of seperation by gender and certain responsibilities, for example men were supposed to be the head of the family, work to make money aqnd support the family and be involved with religious affairs while women were supposed to work at home. This is important because it is be a movement in womens rights whether its political or religious. She showed the strength and poewr she thought women should have by standing up for herself and trying to get more women to challenge authority.

 * To stabilize the tobacco market in the mid 1600s, merchants began to not only trade food and neccesities but also slaves. The slaves were brought directly from Africa to North America on a journey that spans about a few months. By the late 1600s slave trade expands and becomes a major monopoly for some companies.
 * In 1636 Harvard University was founded in Massachusetts leading to the beginning of the Great Awakening. When the Great Awakening bean the colonies continued to start more universities and school systems. Some of the today's most well-known universities like Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, and the College of New Jersey ( Princeton) were founded back in the mid 1700s.

The French and Indian War:
-- Map Analysis:
 * all the land obn the eastern half of America is owned by Britain
 * most of the land on the western half of America and what is now Mexico was controlled by Spain
 * the north western portion of Canada has not yet been explored
 * how come Britain was allowed to conquer all that land (the whole eastern half of America) and still restrict the colonists from settling towards the mid-west by applying the Proclamation Act of 1763 on the colonists?
 * France only owned a very minimal portion of St. Dominque?
 * How come the north western part of Canada had not been explored but the north eastern side of it has?

--Summary of the French and Indian War: From 1754 to 1763 the French and Indian War took place to compete for power over trade and land expansion. The war lasted nine years and was part of the 7 year war in England. By 1763 George III signed the Peace of Paris stating that England had won the war and the results would allow England to expand their land. There were many financial consequences to the war due to the expansion of their land to the West of the colonies and also from all the money they had spent just to fight in the war for a long nine years. These consequences were present among the colonists because they were the ones that were taxed to help pay off England’s debt.

Wordle on the Declaration of Independence: A few of the most noticeable words were government, laws, people, and states because they are most common and some of the main topics within the Declaration of Independence. Words like government, laws, people, and states were a big part of the Declaration because the main purpose was to plan a way for a successful government but at the same time pleasing the people of the United States since one of the reasons of wanting to declare independence in the first place was to no longer have to be under the control of Britain who had been unfairly taxing them. Laws were also a main point to the Declaration because it not only helped the country function in a civilized manner but it also showed that the United States is ready and capable of surviving as an independent nation. Among the huge bold words there are medium size words which are also meaningful but not as important as the four main highlighted words. Some of the medium sized words are rights, colonies, abolishing, powers, jurisdiction, and again government. These smaller words represent ideas like subtopics branching off of the 4 main points however government is mentioned twice, once in large font and again in medium font. I think this is because everyone knew that if the colonies wanted to survive as a nation then they would need a strong government and this was one of the first steps towards it so having it pop up twice on the Wordle really emphasizes the importance in the Declaration of Independence.

Assumptions of Republicanism (page 149):
-active citizens, engaged in the political process

-equality -the Declaration of Indepence had brought up the idea of equality and assumed that it was the opposite of the European aristocracy -there was no equality in condition but everyone was born into opportunity -meritocracy- fortuens based on efforts and talents, not name/birthright >I think this assumption is incorrect because you could go out and start your own business and family but there wasnt equal oppotunity; some people that were wealthier or had more power obvioulsy had a better chance of surviving and making a living; today people that are born rich have many opportunities but people that were born poor dont have as many opportunities and resources.

-Their experiment in state craft became a model for many countries >This seems like its incorrect because now a days the structure of the gorvernment in other countries is not very similar to the United States.

-women did not have political and economic roles >I think this assumption is not true becasue in a way the wives of each household have some kind of control over their husbands because they are the ones that support them
