 * The Chesapeake Region-** The word //Chesepioc// is an Algonquian word referring to a village "at a big river." It was important to the colonists because this was the place that they had started to settle in, Jamestown was the first town that was made by the English and it was up a river they called the James. It was an economic hub for the colonies and it became later a political one. Tobacco was the main way of earning profit for the England economy so they grew a harsh strain tobacco there. It wasn't what they taught it was, the site was low and swampy, hot and humid in the summer, it was surrounded by thick woods and it was in the territories of powerful Indians.


 * Anne Hutchinson and The Puritans**- She had problems with the Puritans, because she challenged the authority of the clergy and she also challenged what was typical for female behavior in Puritan society. The picture (in pg.45) shows that she was trying to preach people her ways (that the critics called 'Antinomianism', which meant the Greek meaning for 'hostile to the law'.

Different Types of Colonies in America
CH2 Glog: media type="custom" key="6939689" []
 * 1) Royal- These colonies were ruled by officials appointed by and responsible to the reigning sovereign of the parent state, in this case: England.
 * 2) Proprietary- These colonies were owned by rich landlords or people.
 * 3) Chartered- These colonies were given to groups of people for land in the New World
 * 4) Self-Governing- These colonies were given free reign of what they could do, they didn't have to obey or do anything anyone said in Europe.

=﻿Chapter 3 Preview= Timeline: Colleges were founded in different colonies; education is growing in the colonies. Plantations were still important, indentured servants were later to be replaced with African slaves. There were migrations into North America, and some new medical developments were made; some religious events affect the colonies; some made within the colonies.

What-CH3- The colonial population increased dramatically in the 18th century, was natural increase; at the end of the 17th century population was over 250,000; 25% were Africans. Medical help were provided by midwives which were more known than physicians, but most people dealt with their own problems since the current medical knowledge is a bit um pathetic; not as well as today or even close. Women and families were important in some regions of NA, some weren't important. Slavery became important in NA as there was a need for work (for plantations and more).

=﻿Birth and Death Rate Factors/Changes in Population= Birth Factors/Decrease in Population: Death Factors/Decrease in Population: Bonus (On one side):
 * Climate
 * Disease-free environment
 * Clean Food/Water
 * Medical Support
 * Immigration
 * More children
 * Government (welfare)
 * Inadequate Food/Water
 * Diseases
 * Homicide
 * Inaccurate medical procedures (do something wrong; make even worser)
 * Migration
 * Government (limit birth)
 * Technology developments
 * Natural disasters
 * Sanitary conditions
 * Economic state

=Social Mobility= -the ability of individuals or groups to move within a social hierarchy with changes in income, education, occupation, etc. Currently I do see this happening but right now it isn't good.(America-) More middle-class people or families are (starting) to move into poverty, rich people stay rich and may move up, poor people become even poorer. People are getting a smaller income these days with the economy being at an all time low. Though education seems to be going up though, thanks to the government and the people's desires to become smarter for various reasons. Occupation...it is becoming low, the economy in America is inadequate; people are being laid off; small businesses are going out of business; very few job positions even if you have a college degree. This is what I see today here, perhaps it may change in the future.

=French and Indian War= The war was between the French and the British (but it was mostly the colonies who fought them, also the indians partook in this war, though neither side benefited from this fight. The war lasted for nearly nine years, the French and their allies had lost the war, so they had to give up the large amount of territory that they had, which was Canada and some area west of the Mississippi River. Some effects were that for the first time in colonial history they had to act in concert against a common foe (French). The colonists widely resented their arrogance and arbitrary use of power; the memory of this contrast (the colonial troops saw themselves as part of a "people's army", their army was communal). The Iroquois Confederacy started to crumble after separating alliance with British after war. The Proclamation line of 1763 was established after this.

=Map pg.110=
 * Mostly controlled by the Spanish and British
 * Most top right and northern parts were still unexplored
 * France held control to a very small part of the Caribbean Islands
 * Part of Alaska is controlled by Russia
 * The Proclamation Line of 1763 is there, limits colonial expansion
 * Hudson's Bay Company receives a great deal of land.

=Financing The War=
 * USA raised taxes
 * USA created war-bonds; people may sell their bonds if they fall under hard times (no profit, lose money)
 * Many times government had borrowed money from other nations

DOI (Declaration of Independence) wordle: Analysis: The most important ideas or what words appear in the DOI are included in this wordle. The DOI was basically a list of grievances sent by Congress of why they are separating from Great Britain, for all of these injustices. The phrase "all men are created equal" is not a common phrase in the DOI but it is an important one in the DOI, they say that the government has too much power, they're taking advantage of them. Grievances were what they had listed in the DOI, the word itself not included but those are in it. "He" or basically government is commonly used throughout the DOI, because they want to say that they were unfair and gave the list of his wrong doings, such as "He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people". Lives at the very end sounded a bit interesting, it sounded like that if they didn't do this, they were in danger of something.

media type="custom" key="7062691" =Assumptions of Republicanism pg.149= Political System Analysis: Their assumptions were sort of correct, though the inequality ruined that idea of all men are created equal and republicanism, Americans were adopting a powerful, revolutionary, ideology, and they became a model for many other countries. Today, the phrase "all men are created equal" exists more than it did back then, white men, black men, women have the same power everyone else has (citizenship) but we have two groups- democrats and republicans, though we have a representative democracy.
 * Note* Please ignore the last slide for now (put there by mistake). (Don't have permission to edit)
 * all power came from people
 * no power came from a supreme authority (ex: king)
 * (success depended on the nature of its citizenry)
 * if population consisted of sturdy independent property owners imbued with civic virtue - republic can survive
 * if population consisted of a few powerful aristocrats and a great mass of dependent workers - republic would fail
 * "All men are created equal"- contrasted to old European assumption of an inherited aristocracy
 * there was persistent inequality- white members allowed many of the privileges of citizenship, black none, women were politically/economically subordinate, Native Americans were systematically exploited and displaced

=Centralization of Power= (def.: the idea of a federal (national) organization of more or less self-governing units, a small group of people with all the power ex: king/dictator)). Decentralization was the opposite of this, it was more about sectionalism/multiple individual governments ruling themselves, a large group/everyone has power, each has a little but combined, the same amount of power as an anarchy/dictatorship (ex: citizens, society as a whole). //Who should make those decisions?//- well it really depends since the national/state governments were a representative government/republic, the people should have to make those decisions, the common people (or the Patriots) already liked the type of government they had, states being a stronger one, national as a weak one to avoid what the British had done to them. Other people perhaps people in the economic type want a stronger government because the economy was terrible at this time; there was basically supporters for centralization and for decentralization. Back then there was less power for the national, more for individual. Powers: war, tax offices, schools, interstate/national trade, age requirements for various things, post offices, elections, etc.). Connection: Northwest Ordinance + Shay's Rebellion: 1st- 2nd-
