Explain the three economic hardships (inflation, a shortage of land, and unemployment) that plagued the English people during the 17th century.

(1.) As Spanish gold and silver flowed into England through trade or piracy, it increased the amount of capital in circulation, causing inflation. Although the common people saw little of this gold and silver, they felt its effects in the form of rising prices. (2.) For centuries, the English economy had centered on farming. Many English farmers rented small parcels of land from landholders for the production of food crops. But as the demand for wool increased, landholders began to evict tenant farmers and enclose their fields or hedges in order to raise sheep. This Enclosure Movement left thousands of peasant farmers without land or a place to live. (3.) The Enclosure Movement contributed to the growing number of unemployed people in England. Unemployment forced many honest but unfortunate Englishmen into debtor's prison, where they were held until they could pay their debts. because they could not raise money to pay their debts while in prison, however, many remained imprisoned indefinitely.

Describe the three separate groups of people (sovereigns, businessmen, and settlers) who took part in the English effort to colonize America.

(1.) Compared to the sovereigns of France and Spain, the sovereigns of England showed little interest in colonizing America, but when they did, it was usually to bring wealth, honor, and prestige to their homeland. For the most part, it was private initiative, not government, that prompted the founding of English colonies in America. (2.) Many of the English colonies were founded or at least sponsored by businessmen who hoped to make a profit and better themselves, as well as others. Many of these investors saw the colonies as a chance to benefit their entire nation - by helping settlers get established, creating jobs, encouraging trade, and bringing new wealth into the country. (3.) The settlers who actually came to live in America did so for a variety of reasons. The lure of adventure and financial gain certainly drew many. But the strongest motivation was a desire for freedom - religious, political, and economic freedom.

For what three reasons did the Great Model never work out as planned?

(1.) For several years, Carolina did not have enough settlers to put the scheme into operation. (2.) Feudalism is based upon scarcity of land, and land in America was abundant. (3.) Social class in America was judged not by birth, as in Europe, but by accomplishment.

In what two ways was the founding of Georgia unusual?

(1.) It was the

three of the influential members of the Plymouth colony, who were non-Separatists

(1.) Miles Standish (1584?-1656), who served as commander-in-chief of the Pilgrims' military defense force, (2.) John Alden (1599?-1687), who held various political offices in the colony, and (3.) Alden's wife, Priscilla Alden (1602?-1685?)

For what three reasons did the English resent the presence of the Dutch in North America?

(1.) New Netherland separated New England from the rest of the English colonies. (2.) The Dutch had a prosperous fur trade with the American Indians. (3.) The Dutch controlled the harbor at New Amsterdam, one of the finest on the Atlantic coast.

three problems with the early Jamestown settlement

(1.) The low-lying land was infested with malaria, (2.) the river water was contaminated, and (3.) most of the colonists were either too lazy or too proud to work. Thus, by the end of the first winter, half of the settlers had died.

three reasons why the Separatists resolved not to stay in Holland permanently

(1.) They did not want their children exposed to the worldliness of Dutch society, (2.) they were concerned that their children could not get a proper education, and (3.) they were proud of their English heritage and wanted their children to grow up as Englishmen, not as Dutchmen.

Bolded Info: 7. Americans denied the right of Parliament to tax Americans, since no Americans were seated in Parliament. Americans rejected "virtual representation," and in truth didn't really want representation because that wouldn't have done them good, and if they had really had representation, there wouldn't be a principle for which to rebel.

...

Bolded Info: American Advantages= Americans had great leaders like George Washington (giant general), and Ben Franklin (smooth diplomat).They also had French aid (indirect), as the French provided the Americans with guns, supplies, gunpowder, etc. Marquis de Lafayette, at age 19, was made a major general in the colonial army.The colonials were fighting in a defensive way, and they were self-sustaining. They were better marksmen.

...

Bolded Info: American Disadvantages Americans were terribly lacking in unity.Jealousy was prevalent, as colonies resented the Continental Congress' attempt at exercising power. Sectional jealousy boiled up over the appointment of military leaders; some New Englanders almost preferred British officers to Americans from other colonies. Inflation also hit families of soldiers hard, and made many people poor.

...

Bolded Info: Americans had unusual opportunities for self-government. Americans also had the mightiest army in the world, and didn't have to pay for it. After independence, the U.S. had to pay for a tiny army and navy. Basically, the Americans had it made: even repressive laws weren't enforced much, and the average American benefited much more than the average Englishman.

...

Bolded Info: British Strength = 7.5 million people to America's 2 million, superior naval power, great wealth. Some 30,000 Hessians (German mercenaries) were also hired by George III, in addition to a professional army of about 50,000 men, plus about 50,000 American loyalists and many Native Americans. However, Britain still had Ireland (used up troops) and France was just waiting to stab Britain in the back; a.Many Brits had no desire to kill their American cousins.

...

Bolded Info: British Weaknesses = English Whigs at first supported America, as opposed to Lord North's Tory Whigs, and they felt that if George III won, then his rule of England might become tyrannical. Britain's generals were second-rate, and its men were brutally treated, Provisions were often scarce, plus Britain was fighting a war some 3000 miles away from home, America was also expansive, and there was no single capital to capture and therefore cripple the country.

...

Bolded Info: Colonists in America, without influence from superiors, felt that they were fundamentally different from England, and more independent. Many began to think of themselves as Americans.

...

How did New Netherland become New York?

By the mid-1600s, the Dutch found themselves squeezed between growing English colonies to the north and south. When, in 1664, England and Holland teetered on the brink of war, King Charles II granted New Netherland to his brother, the Duke of York. In honor of its new proprietor, the king renamed it New York. Soon a fleet of English warships sailed into the harbor of New Amsterdam to take control of the colony. The Dutch governor Peter Stuyvesant insisted on putting up a fight, but the townspeople saw the cause was hopeless and refused to support him. Thus, New Netherland passed peaceably into British hands.

Identify HARPERS FERRY To earn full credit, answer the questions who?, what?, when?, where?, and why it is important to American History for the item.

Harpers Ferry was the town in western Virginia where John Brown planned and attempted to execute a rebellion on October 16,1859. Brown had planned to invade a federal arsenal and distribute ammunition to local slaves. Brown and his followers successfully seized the armory, then spread over the countryside to free slaves and hold slaveowners as prisoners. Contrary to his plans, however, the slaves did not take up the ammunition and rise to fight for their freedom. The federal military was sent to put a stop to the Harpers Ferry rebellion; they surrounded then captured Brown at the arsenal. Brown's capture marked the end of his rebellion, and the nation's initial reaction was condemnation and embarrassment. However, soon the northern view changed from dismay to admiration - after his dignified behavior during his trial continued until he was hung at the gallows, many people were moved to sympathy . The change caused the South to become enraged and sparked the response that they could not live under a government that regarded Brown as a Christian martyr rather than a murderer.

the Mayflower Compact

Having landed so far north, the Pilgrims found themselves outside the limit of their charter and outside the jurisdiction of the London Company. They had no legal right to settle and no basis for civil government. Therefore, the Pilgrims took a step which was to be a milestone in human history. Before they went ashore, 41 men gathered in the cabin of the Mayflower to draw up and sign what has become known as the Mayflower Compact. The compact reinforced their loyalty to England and established a "civil body politic" in America. Although it did not actually set up a government, it expressed that the people were willing to show due submission to "such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought more meet and convenient for the general good of the colony."

In 1577, Sir Francis Drake embarked on a three-year voyage that was to make him the first Englishman to sail around the world. In his ship, the Golden Hind, he crossed the Atlantic and passed through the Strait of Magellan. He then sailed up the Pacific Coast as far as California, which he claimed for England, calling it Nova Albion ("New England"). As he journeyed, Drake looted Spanish ships and settlements along the coast of North America. He then sailed across the Pacific and Indian oceans, around Africa, and back to England. When Drake finally arrived in England in 1580, Queen Elizabeth I met him at the dock and knighted him on the deck of his own ship.

the first two explorations of the New World that Sir Walter Raleigh sponsored

In 1584, Raleigh sponsored an expedition which explored Albemarle Sound and the land of Roanoke off the coast of present-day North Carolina. He named the territory Virginia for Queen Elizabeth, the "Virgin Queen." In 1585, Raleigh sponsored another expedition which made a short visit to Roanoke.

the mystery of the Roanoke colony

In 1587, Sir Walter Raleigh sent John White with a party of over 100 settlers to establish a settlement on Chesapeake Bay. Instead, they settled at Roanoke. When, after a month in the colony, White sailed back to England for supplies, he found the nation preoccupied with the Spanish Armada. After a delay of several years, White returned to Roanoke in 1590 to find that the entire colony had vanished, leaving only a few relics and the world "Croatoan" carved on a tree. The fate of the Roanoke colony remains a mystery to this day.

the Virginia Charter

In 1606, King James I granted the Virginia Charter to permit two joint-stock companies to undertake colonization in Virginia. The company centered in London (the London Company) was to settle southern Virginia, and the company centered in Plymouth (the Plymouth Company) was to settle northern Virginia. The charter outlined how the colonies should be governed and guaranteed that they would enjoy the same rights and liberties as Englishmen abiding in the home country.

Captain John Smith and private enterprise

In 1608, Captain John Smith took charge of the Jamestown colony and saved it from destruction. He established a system of private enterprise based on the biblical principle that any who would not work should not eat (2 Thess. 3:10). Under this capitalistic system, individuals were free to make a living and prosper on their own enterprise. This system provided the incentive necessary for the production of sufficient crops for the colony.

What was the beginning of the slave trade in British North America?

In 1619, a Dutch ship arrived from Africa with about 30 black servants to be sold to the settlers. Apparently these first Africans were purchased as indentured servants rather than slaves. However this began the huge American slave trade. In the years ahead, millions of black Africans were captured on the west coast of Africa and transported to the New World to be sold as slaves.

House of Burgesses

In 1619, the people of the various districts of Virginia sent delegates, called burgesses, to a representative assembly in Jamestown. Collectively known as the House of Burgesses, this assembly acted as an advisory body to the governor of the colony. Although its recommendations could be vetoed, the House of Burgesses set an important precedent for representative government in early America.

the first Thanksgiving

In 1621, the Council for New England granted the Pilgrims a patent, recognizing their right of settlement. When they reaped a corn that fall, Governor Bradford called for a three-day feast which we remember as the first Thanksgiving. There, Indians joined the pilgrims as they celebrated, feasted, heard the Bible read publicly, and gave thanks to God for His many blessings.

Massachusetts Bay Company

In 1629, Charles I issued a charter for the formation of the Massachusetts Bay Company, a joint-stock company composed primarily of Puritan businessmen. This charter granted the company a tract of land in territory controlled by the Council for New England. The charter failed to stipulate that the company's headquarters must remain in England. A group of prominent and influential Puritans saw in the company a unique opportunity for Puritans to find religious freedom in America. The company's Puritan stockholders who intended to migrate to the New World bought the shares of those who wished to remain in England, enabling the Puritans to take the charter with them to New England and establish a virtually self-governing colony. This would keep non-Puritans from buying into the organization and would guarantee the Puritans perpetual control of their company. Eventually, 12 wealthy Puritan businessmen took control and brought the company on a fleet of 11 ships carrying 700 passengers to set sail for Massachusetts in March 1630.

the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut

In 1639, the people of Connecticut were ready to establish their own independent government. They met at Hartford and adopted the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, considered to be the first written constitution in America. In this charter, the people established a representative government and designated the kinds of powers that government should possess, setting an important precedent for government by the people and for the people.

Bacon's Rebellion

In 1675, American Indians attacked a few frontier settlements in western Virginia. In 1676, the frontiersmen appealed to Governor Berkeley for protection, expecting him to send a military force, but he failed to respond. Some accused him of caring more for his prosperous fur trade with the Indians than for the welfare of frontier settlements. Nathaniel Bacon, a wealthy young plantation owner, offered to lead a volunteer militia against the Native Americans, insisting that frontiersmen were entitled to the same protection as established colonists in Jamestown, but Berkeley rejected his offer. Already disgruntled by what they considered to be unfair taxes, the frontiersmen followed Bacon and pursued the Indians against the governor's wishes. When Berkeley accused Bacon and his men of rebellion, the frontiersmen marched on to Jamestown and burned it to the ground, forcing Berkeley to flee to the coast. Bacon soon fell ill and died, however, and Bacon regained power. Although Bacon's methods and motives were questionable, Bacon's Rebellion indicated that Americans expected their government to protect all citizens.

the Society of Friends (the Quakers)

In 17th-century England, there arose a religious group who called themselves the Society of Friends; others called them Quakers. These religious dissenters separated themselves from the Church of England because they disagreed with its doctrine and practice. The Quakers believed that each man should follow his "inner light," worshiping God from the heart. They followed no prescribed system of worship, had no ministers, and met in simple "meeting houses" instead of formal churches. They were also pacifists, refusing to defend themselves or to participate in military service. As a result of their dissenting, they faced persecution in England and even in most of the colonies.

Identify WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON.

In 1831, William Lloyd Garrison founded his own abolitionist newspaper "The Liberty" in Boston. He used this paper to publicly adamantly refuse to accept any form of compromise in terms of slavery. An "immediatist," Garrison bonded together with others and led them to found the New England Anti-Slavery Society. In 1835 he was a victim of an antiabolitionist mob that dragged him through the streets of Boston.

the Pilgrims' separation of church and state

In England, the Separatists had come to realize that as long as civil government tries to control the people's religion, there can be no true political liberty. Thus, in its early years, Plymouth had no established churches. this religious liberty contributed to political liberty, for Plymouth had no religious qualifications for voters or office holders. The Strangers and Separatists were able to live and work together because they respected each other's rights.

Cabinet

In England, the leaders of Parliament who develop policy to rule the nation. This system developed under the Hanoverian kingship of George I and George II.

the New England Confederation

In May 1643, delegates from Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, Connecticut, and New Haven assembled in Boston and formed the New England Confederation, or League of Friendship, the first voluntary American union. (Rhode Island was not asked to join because the Puritans considered most of its inhabitants to be heretics.) The colonies maintained their independence but cooperated through an elected board of commissioners mainly for the purpose of defense against hostile Indian tribes, the Dutch, and the French. After King Philip's War, the confederation seemed less necessary, and bickering among the member colonies created problems. The New England Confederation finally dissolved in 1684, but it set an important precedent for voluntary union of the colonies.

How and why did Roger Williams found Rhode Island?

Roger Williams (1603?-1683) came to Massachusetts in 1631, not as a true Puritan but as a separate congregationalist. Williams disagree with the leaders of the Bay Colony on several matters. (1.) While the Puritans remained a part of the Church of England, Williams contended that they should complete separate themselves from it. (2.) He insisted that church officers should not interfere in civil matters and that civil officers should not attempt to enforce church policies. (3.) He criticized the Puritans for taking land that rightly belonged to the Indians. Roger Williams's reputation of integrity as a minister could not be questioned. Even his staunchest opponent, John Winthrop, called him a "godly minister." But because his preaching threatened the "city upon a hill," the General Court banished Williams from the colony in 1635. Williams spent the winter in the wilderness with friendly Indians; then, in the spring of 1636, he journeyed to the shores of Narragansett Bay, in what is now Rhode Island. There he founded a settlement he called Providence, from the "sense of God's merciful providence unto me in my distress." In 1644, Parliament issued a charter combining the four settlements in Rhode Island under one government, but Roger Williams wanted a charter that would specifically provide for separation of church and state. The Puritans who controlled Parliament refused to grant such a charter. Finally, in 1663, after the English Restoration, Charles II granted Williams a charter that provided for separation of church and state and guaranteed religious liberty to all.

In 1609, Pastor Robinson led a group of about 300 to the Dutch city of Leyden, where they enjoyed religious freedom and economic success. In 11 years, the Scrooby congregation increased to over 1,000. The Dutch people came to respect the Separatists for their honesty and diligence, but the Separatists resolved not to stay in Holland permanently.

The Court was dominated by Federalist justices.

the Duke of York's government of New York

The Duke of York allowed the Dutch to continue living in New York undisturbed, but the colony experienced much political unrest because the duke would not allow representative government. When the Duke of York inherited the British throne and became King James II, New York became a royal colony (because its proprietor was king). After James II was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688, William and Mary granted New York a representative assembly. New York remained a royal colony, however, until America's War for Independence.

What were proprietary colonies, and what was the problem with them?

The English founded several proprietary colonies, beginning with Maryland in 1632. These colonies were based on land grants made by the king to individual proprietors or owners. In a sense, these grants were an attempt to transfer the feudal system of Old England to the New World. Within certain limits, the proprietor could govern his colony as he pleased. However, in most proprietary colonies, there was a long struggle for power between the proprietary and the colonists. by the early 18th century, the proprietary colonies were about as democratic as the other colonies. Feudalism failed to take hold in America.

the General Court

The General Court was the Pilgrims' direct democratic legislative body which met periodically to pass laws, carry out provisions of the law, and judge cases and controversies arising under the law. For several years, the General Court consisted of all freemen. The first freemen were the 41 signers of the Mayflower Compact. Each year, the freemen admitted other qualified people to their ranks. To be a freeman, you had to be male, at least 21 years old, of good reputation, and a permanent settler. When, in 1639, the population growth made it impractical for all freemen to assemble in the General Court, Plymouth switched from a direct democracy to a representative democracy. Instead of attending the General Court personally, the freemen of each town elected "deputies" to represent them in the General Court.

the Pilgrims' first winter

The Pilgrims' first winter in the cold North was difficult. Food and shelter were inadequate and the settlers were plagued by illness. At one point, only seven of them were strong enough to care for the sick and bury the dead. By early spring, half of the settlers had died. Yet the Pilgrims remained determined, with God's help, to make a home in America. When the crew of the Mayflower set sail for England in April 1621, none of Plymouth's survivors were on board.

The Force Bill of 1833 provided that

The President could use the army and navy to collect federal tariff duties

How did Puritan civilization become known as "a city upon a hill"?

The Puritans who sailed to Massachusetts in 1630 had not yet experienced persecution for their religious beliefs; they only anticipate coming persecution. They left England for a more noble purpose than mere escape. They intended to build a society that would fully embody what they understood to be God's truth. They hoped to offer the world a complete example of Christian civilization. As the Puritans sailed to the New World, Governor Winthrop challenged his people with these now famous words: "...for we must consider that we should be as a City upon a hill, the eyes of all people [shall be] upon us."

the voyage of the Speedwell and the Mayflower

The Speedwell was the ship that the Pilgrims hired to carry a small portion of the Leyden congregation from Holland to the New World. The others, including Pastor John Robinson, would remain in Holland until they could raise enough money to join their brethren. The Speedwell sailed to England first, where recruits secured by the Adventurers were waiting aboard the Mayflower. Twice the ships set sail for America, and both times the Speedwell sprang leaks, forcing the Pilgrims to return to port. Finally, they had to abandon the Speedwell. As many of its passengers as possible crowded aboard the Mayflower, and the rest stayed behind for a future passage. Finally, on September 6, 1620, the Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, England, for the New World, with, in addition to officers and crew, "about a hundred souls."

Thomas Hooker (1586?-1647) and how he founded Connecticut

The best known of the Connecticut pioneers, Thomas Hooker was a graduate of Cambridge University who came to Massachusetts during the "Great Migration" an assumed the pastorate of the Puritan church in Newtown (present-day Cambridge). A man of vision, Hooker wanted to lead his congregation to new territory along the Connecticut River, where they could enjoy more political freedom and take advantage of the rich, fertile soil. In 1635, the Massachusetts General Court grudgingly gave Hooker and other Massachusetts settlers permission to move to the frontier. Hooker joined other settlers in 1636 and founded Connecticut, where the towns of Hartford, Wethersfield, and Windsfor were soon established.

What were joint-stock companies, and why were they formed?

The experiences of Sir Walter Raleigh and others had proven that a great deal of money would be needed to found a successful colony in the North American wilderness.

What was the political structure of early Connecticut?

The founders of Connecticut wanted more political freedom than they had enjoyed in Massachusetts. Although one did not have to be a member of the established church in order to vote, there still was no separation of church and state. Only freemen were allowed to vote, and the General Court only admitted orthodox Puritans as freemen. There was a broader base of political participation in Connecticut than in Massachusetts, but still only Puritans could live at peace within the colony.

The land between the Hudson and Delaware rivers was originally part of New Netherland. When the Duke of York took possession of this Dutch colony in 1664, he gave this land to two noblemen, Sir George Carteret and Lord John Berkeley, who called it "New Jersey," after the island of Jersey in the English Channel. To attract settlers, they offered land on easy terms and religious freedom. Many settlers came to New Jersey to enjoy this freedom, including many Baptists and Scottish Covenanters.

The winter of 1609-1610 was called the "starving time." It occurred after an injury forced Captain John Smith to return to England and resulted in Jamestown again teetering on the brink of failure. Hungry settlers were forced to eat dogs, horses, and even rats and mice. Although several hundred colonists had joined the colony since 1607, only 60 remained alive by the spring of 1610. With the coming spring, the survivors prepared to abandon the colony and return to England. But just as they were leaving, several ships arrived from England with supplies and more settlers, so the colonists decided to stay.

Louisbourg, but it was returned to France in the peace treaty.

Rhode Island's early government

Under Williams's leadership, Rhode Island became a haven of political and religious freedom. The colonists set up a representative system of government in which voters elected deputies (legislators), a governor, and his council assistants.

The Enlightenment was a belief that

Understanding and improving the universe could be achieved through the human mind.

problems in Massachusetts involving the connection of church and state

Unlike the early Pilgrims, the Massachusetts Puritans persistently held on to the idea of a close connection between church and state, which they thought was needed to maintain the purity of their religion. The Puritans feared that without church control of political affairs, the "city upon a hill" could not maintain its light in the world. The original charter of the Massachusetts Bay Company placed all power in the hands of an assembly known as the General Court, which consisted of the freemen of the colony. Only members of approved Puritan churches could be admitted as freemen. In 1636, it was declared that new churches could be established only be consent of the Puritan authorities. The Puritan churches in Massachusetts were Congregational, but each local body had to conform to specific standards and beliefs in order to remain in good standing. The Puritan ministers wielded great influence in the colony, for only those approved by the ministers could become church members, only church members could become freemen, and only freemen could vote and hold public office. The failure of the Puritans to clearly separate church and state eventually led to serious political and religious problems in Massachusetts. Within the churches, it often led to hypocrisy rather than purity; outside the churches, it led to discrimination and even persecution.

How did Virginia become a royal colony?

Virginia never prospered as a business venture. Although the London Company reorganized under a new charter in 1609 and again in 1612, the stockholders were not able to regain their investment. By the time tobacco began to turn good profits in Virginia, the settlers had served their seven years and were no longer obligated to share profits with the colony. In 1624, the king revoked the charter of the London company, and Virginia became a royal colony, owned and controlled directly by the king and administered by his royal governors.

William Penn's colony of Pennsylvania, founded in 1681,

Welcomed members of the Society of Friends, or Quakers.

Colonies that welcomed the widest variety of immigrants

Were the most prosperous

the Mason-Dixon line

When Charles II made the land grant for William Penn to found Sylvania in 1681, he was not careful to observe the boundaries of land already given away in the New World. This led to a longstanding land dispute between the Penn family and the family of Lord Baltimore. The dispute was resolved around 1756 when the Mason-Dixon line was surveyed.

Identify the MISSOURI COMPROMISE.

When Missouri applied for statehood in 1819, the country was deep in dispute over the morality of slavery. Because the Constitution's three-fifths compromise, the tension between the antislavery (northern) states and the southern (proslavery) states had become heated given the moral argument but also the political power involved. The addition of Missouri could tip the balance and would give slave states domination in Congress and ultimately the presidency. In the House of Representatives, James Tallmadge proposed that Missouri be accepted on two conditions: no more slaves were to be brought into the state and slavery was to be gradually abolished. This was voted for and carried on to the Senate, where it was voted against and died. In 1820 when Maine applied for statehood (as a free state), the problem seemed be resolved as far as the imbalance in politics. However, once Missouri was accepted into the Union, they submitted a state constitution barring free blacks from the state. This was important because it foreshadowed later political (congressional) debates over slavery for years to come.

How was New Sweden founded? How did it become a part of New Netherland?

While the Dutch were busy colonizing New Netherland, the Swedes were settling in the Delaware area. In 1638, a small band of Swedish colonies sailed up the Delaware bay and built a fort near the mouth of the Delaware River and called it Fort Christina, in honor of the queen of Sweden. They called the settlement New Sweden and it was the first successful settlement in Delaware. New Sweden never grew large, however, ad in 1655, the Dutch seized the colony and made it part of New Netherland.

William Bradford

William Bradford was chosen to take John Carver's place as governor of the Pilgrims. A man known for wisdom, patience, and kindness, Bradford was highly respected by the residents of Plymouth and held the office of governor for over 30 years. Bradford wrote History of Plymouth Plantation, the first American history book. Plymouth grew and prospered under Governor Bradford's leadership, particularly because of an important decision he made in the spring of 1623. The Pilgrims' original charter had established a common-store system, similar to the early system that had failed at Jamestown. Even in Plymouth, where most of the people had a deep Christian commitment, the communal system promoted a lack of diligence and efficiency and threatened to destroy the colony in its infancy. To solve the problem, Governor Bradford divided the land among the colonists and made each family responsible for itself, establishing a free enterprise time. By the time of the fall harvest, the wisdom of this decision was evident. After Bradford instituted free enterprise in the colony, Plymouth began to prosper.

How did William Penn found Pennsylvania?

William Penn (1644-1718) was a Quaker and the son of a wealthy and prestigious Englishman. Charles II owed Penn's father a large sum of money; when Penn's father died, Penn inherited the claim. He convinced the king to repay the debt with land grant in the New World. In 1681, Charles II granted him the land of Sylvania (forest land) which lay north of Maryland and west of the Delaware River. The king insisted that the land be called Pennsylvania, in honor of Penn's father.

the "Holy Experiment"

William Penn called his undertaking of Pennsylvania the "Holy Experiment." His main purpose for founding the colony was to create a haven for Quakers where they could practice their religion free of harassment. Penn resolved to make his experiment succeed.
