media type="custom" key="6940097" __**The Early Chesapeake Region-**__ In the spring of 1607, Jamestown, Virginia was founded by 104 men who survived the lengthy trip from England to the Chesapeake Bay. They ran into many problems, such as diseases like Malaria, and they were not able to grow crops. 27 year old Captain John Smith, saved the colony, as he arrived in 1608 on a ship filled with goods, and supplies for their survival. He became council president, and organized raids on nearby Indians for food and slaves. By 1609. the population had died down severly, and Smith was sent back to England. Once again, they colony almost perished. But, Lord De LaWarr and his successors arrived on a ship from England with food, and the power to take over. He organized the settlers into work gangs and institued a harsh rule. If settlers did not go to work, they were to hung and/or punished. Eventually he let up, and some were allowed to own their own land, and work for themselves. The area was expanding despite the harsh rule, new settlements popped up all around Jamestown. Many fo the settlements had tobacco plantations, tabacco was one of the msot profitable crops in the Chespeake area, it uplifted the economy there, causing a growing need for trade.

Anne Hutchinson was a woman from a wealthy family in Boston, she came to Boston in 1634 with her husband. She was very persistant about the fact that if members of the clergy were not of the "elect," then they do not deserve to be a minister, or in charge of a congregation. The "elect" were those who had undergone converstion experiences. She also began an uprising about the power of women in Puritan societies. Hutchinson gained a large following, mostly of woman. She offered them active roles in religion. Her following was numerous, and influencial enough to prevent John WInthrop from being elected again. Many feared she would cause problems in their colony, later, she was put on trial for heresy by John Winthrop. Her views challeneged social and Puritan views in Massachusetts, her ideas also were some of the first of the woman's rights, and the religious freedom movements.

The war began due to competition for land expansion, and for trade and commercial reasons. The war was apart of the 7 years war in England as well. At the end of the war, George III signed the Peace of Paris, and the Proclamation of 1763, showing England won the war and had gained the right to all French lands west of the Mississippi River to Britain, it also gave London control over expansion of the colonies. After the war, debt was a huge consequence of the war, causing colonists to be forced to pay even higher taxes. The debt caused tensions to rise even higher between the colonies and England, even though the situation was already tense.

Declaration of Independence Wordle.net: media type="custom" key="7032779" This wordle shows some of the msot common and important words of the Declaration of Independence. The biggest words are the words that repeated most in the document, for example, "laws" and "states" were used a fairly large amoutn throughout the writing. The people of the colonies wanted to create their own government, independent of England, with their own laws and states, hence the Declaration of Independence. Another word that is not as big, but was eye catching was "war." During the time this was written, the colonies were in the middle of a war for their independence as well. They were willing to do anything they could to gain their independence, freedom, and their own government, to escape the tyranical ruling of England. One more word from the wordle that stood out was "refused," the British had refused to give the colonists what they wanted, as well as refused to be fair with them in anyway.



﻿The Assumptions of Republicanism (p.149): The founding fathers of this government assumed that the demographics of America were mostly middle class families. They assumed that the people were hard working families that may be land owners and work dependant people. The same goes for nowadays, most of the people in America are middle class families, but the rest of the people are either stuggling to get by and the others are very successful. Another assumption was that some people are born with more talent than others, but I believe in meritocracy, I agree with this system, because no matter what your economic/social stand point at birth, you could be able to reach a higher level (social mobility) even though you might have to try harder, the opportunities are there. But, sometimes there are less resources and chances for some people in lower classes, but the people can always work to be successful.
 * ﻿the people were independant land owners
 * active citizens in the vote
 * people give the government the power
 * majority were not elite
 * assumed that everyone was born with equal opportunity, not everyone would wind up with equal conditions
 * assumed citizens were average- workers, land owners
 * meritocracy: fortune based on merit/talent, not name
