Sir William Berkly

Why the disunity of the colonies

The peoples of the colonies were ununified because of differing religious and political beliefs

Roots of Nationalism

People being born in America built a rift between England and the colonies-They tried to establish bureaucracy but failed-They couldn't build a centralized empire because of the lack of money and no preexisting empire to build off of

People in Virginia were with the monarchy

and People in Massachusetts weren't

Constant push west

From the very inception of the colonies the people of them wanted to move west

The Frontier of that time

Back then it was areas like Western Pennsylvania Western New York and Western Massachusetts

1580-1650

Population in England skyrocketed from 3.5 to 5 million

Effects of Population Growth

Strain on economy drove up prices(Inflation) that then led to homelessness

Why Were the English so Mobile

Many of them took seasonal work so they migrated often throughout the year-As well as the social and economic instability leading them to move to other places

Who Controlled the Economy

The Landowning Class

Landowners Views on the Vagrants and Migrants

They saw them as a blemish on their society

First Successful English Colony

Ireland

Start of the Stuart Dynasty

Monarch before the Stuart monarchs-Mary l-Claimed to be the virgin queen so she did not have kids so she ended her dynasty

Parliament

Practically the legislative branch-House of lords and house of commons

1629

Charles l attempted to run the country without parliament but in 1640 he had to reinstate parliament because of his lack of money

In exchange for the money

Parliament wanted sweeping changes to the constitution and many militant puritans supported this

1642-1645

Pride's purge

Parliament got rid of everyone who supported the monarchy so the Rump Parliament was left

Rump parliament

50ish anti-monarchy parliament members-Tried convicted and executed Charles I

Puritan Beliefs

The Church of England was too similar to the Roman Catholic Church and should eliminate all semblance of the Catholic Church within the Church of England

Oliver Cromwell

Skilled general in the English Civil War turned Crazy Puritan Dictator or known as Lord Protector of the Commonwealth

Thomas Hobbes

Wrote Leviathan-the best statement for absolute government-1651

Oliver Cromwell had a standing army

Parliament tried to disband his army so Oliver marched his army and preformed a Coup D'etat-Ruled from 1653 to 1658

1660

After the death of Cromwell the Stuarts returned to the English throne

The Restoration

The restoration of the stuart dynasty under Charles II

Charles II was sympathetic to Catholics

So there was an ultraroyalist response to push for absolutism

Clarendon Code(1661-1665)

Move by parliament to go after any dissenters of The Church of England

Navigation Acts

Under the reign of Charles II many colonies had been established so this had been made to control all the trade coming from the colonies

The Navigation Acts and The Clarendon Code won't be enforced until later because of wars with France

When they are enforced in the 18th century it sparks a revolution

Test Act

Test act was designed by parliament to keep any catholic from serving in the English government-You had to deny transubstantiation-bread and wine is the body/blood of christ

Absolutism

A system of government where there is an absence of a constitutional check on royal power

Constitutionalism

A system of government where there is a constitutional check on royal power

Charles II also had an alliance with France

Which is bad because France is Catholic

End of Charles II reign

James II

Replied the test act and dissolved parliament and appointed catholics

1687,1688,and June 20th 1688

Divine Right of Kings

A king was king because God said they should be

1607

Jamestown founded

Importance of the joint-stock company

The joint-stock company let England build up capital while also letting english citizen benefit-Investing money without fear of bankruptcy

The Starving Time

The winter of 1609 to 1610 was known as the "starving time" to the colonists of Virginia. They did not possess the skills that were necessary to obtain food in the new world.

1612

Beginning of tobacco production by John Rolfe

Effects of Tobacco

Tobacco determined economy and determined the importance of the colony and determined how spread out the settlement were as well as the populations/social makeup masters indentured servant and african slaves-most people were men

1618

Sir Edwin Sandys created the headright system

Headrights

For every servant you brought with you to Virginia you got 50 acres of land-incentives for landowners to go to the new world

Reforms in Virginia once tobacco was established

The House of Burgesses-Elected representative assembly for the Virginia colonies-1619-Created for private investors to rule to them to come entice people to come

1619

House of Burgesses and Dutch ship arrived in Jamestown 21 Africans abroad-Perpetuated the atlantic slave trade started by the spanish in the 15th century

Impermancy of the Virginia Population

Due to the climate of the region mosquitoes festered and caused thousands of deaths each year making the population rise at a very slow rate 2000 to 8000 in 18 years-1622 to 1640-But in the next 60 years 80,000 more people would come to the colonies

1624

Virginia becomes a royal colony and the Virginia Company was dissolved-Showed that Virginia was profitable and had potential

Patterns of settlement

The settlements were all spread out due to the headright system and the cash crop economy

1622

Opechancanough, Powhatan's Brother and successor launched an attack on the colonies

Due to the native attacks

James I disbanded the Virginia company and made it a royal colony-He also made his council the main legislative force in the colonies and established the Church so people would pay taxes for the clergy

Virginia Society

Most men didn't marry because of the lack of women and most people parents died before of adulthood so unmarried men and orphans made up a large part of the population

As more and more people came to Virginia

More servants were needed leading to many young men signing indenture contracts

In Scrooby Manor the congregation of people there thought that the Anglican church held to many Catholic beliefs

So they left for Holland in 1608-1609 because citizens had to go to church-They became known as separatists

1617

The separatists were worried that they were losing their identity so they left on the mayflower for the Americas

Due to miss-navigation the Pilgrims landed in New England

They had no authority to make a civil government in this land and after the non-pilgrim sailors threatened to mutiny they made an agreement called the Mayflower Compact which combined themself together into one civil body politick

William Bradford

He developed private land ownership and helped the Pilgrims get through winter and other challenges

Disease and starvation killed half of the 102 in the first year

But the man William Bradford persuaded and frightened men and women to survive in the new world

Bradford had help in the form of a Native named Squanto

He was able to speak english after escaping from slavery-Squanto taught them how to cook and hunt in America and without his help the Pilgrims would have starved

Economy of New England

Timber and independent farmers

1691

As a result of the pilgrims having slow population increase and no way to gain substantial profit so it absorbed into Massachusetts

From a puritan perspective

The Stuarts were corrupt-Corruption in the court,public extravagance,appeasing catholic powers in Europe

As puritans elected outspoken representatives who often criticized royal policy and Bishop Laud

Charles I decided to rule without parliament in 1629 because of it

As puritans were worried about the state and future of England the set their eyes on the new world

And on March 4th 1629 they received a charter for the Massachusetts Bay colony

Cambridge Agreement

1629-Puritan stockholders of Massachusetts Bay Colony agreed to move to New England in return for control of the colonies government

Loophole in the Cambridge Agreement

They didn't have an official place of meeting so they could have meetings in America to govern the colony where Laud and the King could not interfere as much

Population Characteristics of Massachusetts Bay

They came as families and communities-So the gender split was equal unlike Virginia
