just tell me if it’s good or not
and please read it! how can i make it better??

Do you know how and for what reasons the first 13 colonies of North America were found? Many of us today don’t know why these colonies were established, but we should because it’s an extremely important event in history. Many of the first settlers in the North America came from England, they came for reasons such as these: wanted land to plant on, religious freedom, wanted to become rich or famous, needed a new beginning, wanted to escape paying debts and others. The first successful settlement was Jamestown, Virginia and then other colonies arose. The 13 colonies of North America are: Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut (New England Colonies), New York, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania (Middle Colonies), Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia (Southern Colonies). Each of these colonies have different laws, government, religious beliefs, way of life and how they were set up.
First, lets talk about the New England Colonies and the first successful settlement Jamestown, Virginia. During the 1580s English had tried a couple of times to establish a colony on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, but their attempts failed. Later, The Virginia Company was developed, it was a joint-stock company. In December 1606 they began their journey and on April 1607 they entered the Chesapeake Bay. They named their new settlement Jamestown in honor of their king who granted them the right to organize settlement. The colony was build on a peninsula so it could defend itself from attack but many died do to disease, hard labor, weather and hunger. With the Virginian leader John Smith the colony survived 2 years, but it was later John Rolfe who learned how to grow tobacco and saved the colony. Virginia had made a great profit growing tobacco, then many others came to the colony and House of Burgesses was formed to let people have a say in their government. Groups of people came to the New England Colonies in order to find religious freedom. At that time many people disagreed with the practices of the Anglican Church and wanted to reform it, those people were called Puritans. Others who wanted to leave and set up their own churches were called Separatists (Pilgrims). Separatists were later persecuted in England which caused them to flee to Netherlands. They did not stay their long causing to lack of jobs, so they made an arrangement with the Virginia Company to settle in North America for free religious practice. One of the New England Colonies is Massachusetts. It was founded for religious freedom by John Carver, William Bradford and John Winthrop, and settled during 1620-1630. Second colony is New Hampshire, it was founded because of profit of trade and fish by Ferdinando Gorges and John Mason and settled in c.1620. Another colony is Rhode Island, which was founded for religious freedom by Roger Williams in 1636. Last of the colonies is Connecticut which was founded in 1635 by Thomas Hooker because of profit from fur trade, farming; religious and political freedom.
Second, the Middle Colonies, that also play a huge role. The first colony is New York, it was founded by the Dutch settlers in1624 to expand trade. The colony had a really an excellent harbor that the English wanted to acquire. So in 1664 they attacked and Peter Stuyvesant who was the governor surrendered because he was not prepared for the battle. King Charles II the gave this colony to his brother Duke of York, who renamed it New York. New York became a proprietary colony. Later, the colony became widely populated and demanded a representative government. The English government allowed New York to elect a legislature starting in 1691. A different colony is New Jersey, it was founded by John Berkeley and George Carteret during 1638 and gained profit from selling land. The colony did not gain much success and became a royal colony. Another colony is Delaware, it was founded by Swedish settlers in 1638 in order to expand trade. Last Middle Colony is Pennsylvania founded by William Penn in 1682 and gained profit by selling land/ religious freedom. Penn belonged to a Protestant group of dissenters called Quakers. They believed that everyone was equal in god’s view, had toleration towards other beliefs and were pacifists. Penn wrote the city’s first constitution and believed that settlers should pay for land(since it’s the Native America’s). He also encouraged others to come by advertising in different languages and granted the colonists the right to elect representatives to the legislative assembly.
Finally, The Southern Colonies that were founded for different reasons. The colony of Maryland was lead by Cecil Calvert son of George Calvert who always wanted to create a safe place for the Catholics. Cecil had sent two of his brothers to rule the colony when he gained it in1634. They at first turned to tobacco as the main crop knowing it saved Virginia, but planted corn as well. The city Baltimore founded in 1729 had became Maryland’s largest port and settlement. As you know there were conflicts between colonies and one was the boundary between Maryland and Pennsylvania. It was soon resolved but another conflict arose when Calverts had welcomed Protestants in Maryland. As you know the colony of Virginia became very wealthy and it kept on growing. William Berkeley had made an agreement that for a piece of land he would keep his settlers out of the Native American lands. Nathaniel Bacon, a leader of the western part of Virginia did not agree. He and others had settled in Native American lands and set fire to the capital Jamestown. It was known as the greatest rebel ever. Bacon’s sudden illness and death was the only thing that kept him from taking charge of Virginia. A new proprietary colony was set up called Carolina. It was ruled by eight prominent members of kings court. They divided the colony and each ruled one part. John Locke was the one to write constitution for the colony. The people of the colonies disagreed and went they’re separate ways creating North Carolina and South Carolina. The Carolina’s was the colony who had many rice fields and more than half of the population were enslaved Africans. In 1729 the Carolinas became two royal colonies. The last colony and final colony is Georgia. It was founded in 1733 by James Oglethorpe for religious freedom; protection against Spanish Florida and a safe home for debtors. This was a safe colony if you had not payed your debts.
In Conclusion, I hope that you understand how important it is to know about the history of these colonies and reasons for their findings. Each of the colony had something different about it and unique. Each colony also has different religions, crops, culture and clothing. This all depends on where and how the colony was developed. From this essay you should have learned who was the founder of the colony, why it was established and in what year it was set up.

Pammmm. asked:

In this essay, I will look at the play “The Crucible”, written by Arthur Miller, the author of other popular plays such as “A View from the Bridge”, “All My Sons” and “Death of a Salesman”. The play was written in 1953, when Miller was thirty-eight years old. Literally, the play is about the Salem Witch trials, which were a series of trials in the county court of Massachusetts, in which over one-hundred and fifty townspeople were arrested and accused of practising witchcraft. However, metaphorically the play is about McCarthyism, a period of time from 1940-1950 in which many American Citizens were accused of being Communists, or supporting Communism. The accused were imprisoned, and thousands lost their jobs, including many Hollywood film stars. I will be analysing the presentation of relationships in three scenes, and looking at who has power, who has pride, and who only wants personal gain.

give it a grade?

Humberto asked:

I chose to argue it would have a positive effect ( everyone else chose to argue that it would have a negative effect, so arguing the opposite would make for a stronger essay) Instead of torturing you with a really long essay I’ll just present the main point:
1. Creates new revenue for the economy
2. Create new jobs
3. Affordable in most states (Massachusetts already has a system and I used some examples where if It’s system was used as a model and a few changes were made, larger and poorer states could afford it too)

I wasnt asking for your position I was asking for a title. A different position usually gets a higher grade anyway. So go back to worshiping Glenn beck and let the grown ups talk.

English Pilgrims from Europe first settled in New England in 1620, in the colony of Plymouth. In the late 18th century, the New England colonies would be among the first North American British colonies to have independence from the British Crown. However, later they would oppose the War of 1812 between Britain and the United States.
The colony of Rhode Island was founded in 1636 by Roger Williams. Roger Williams led many Aristocrats to religious freedom. Rhode Island has many religions including Quaker, Puritan, Baptist, Anglicans, Jewish, Catholic, and Congregationalists. New Hampshire was first founded in 1623 by Pilgrims from England and was one of the first original 13 colonies. Pilgrims came to New Hampshire for religious freedom and starting their lives over. One of the ships which brought the pilgrims to New Hampshire was called The Jonathan. The Jonathan’s passengers were 10 white male pilgrims. Three years later more pilgrims came to New Hampshire and began to settle there.
When the Revolutionary War began in 1775, New Hampshire was the first colony to declare independence from England. New Hampshire is governed under a constitution that started in 1784. This constitution is older than every other state except Massachusetts. An earlier constitution for New Hampshire begun in 1776. New Hampshire cast the deciding vote on June 21, 1788 which put the Constitution into effect.
The geography is a mix of different things. They have a lot of mountains like Mount Washington. There are over 1,300 lakes and rivers. There is only one seaport in the colony, called Portsmouth. There are six religions including Roman Catholic, Methodists, Baptists, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Puritans. The climate temperature through the year is from the average 70 degrees to 6 degrees. The average temperature in July is 70 degrees. The average temperature in January is 6 degrees. The jobs of New Hampshire pilgrims were fishing, lumber, ship building, and farming. Public education in New Hampshire was established by law in 1647 when New Hampshire was a part of Massachusetts.
Connecticut was founded by Thomas Hooker, so that he could practice his Puritan religion. For that same reason many colonists came to live in Connecticut. People in the colony included Native Americans and colonists. The economy included trade and growing crops. The climate in Connecticut is colder than England’s. Its summers are mild. Their government is based on the consent of the people. The colony of Connecticut was one of the first colonies to have a constitution.
Massachusetts was a spectacular colony. Captain John Smith founded Massachusetts for religious freedom. Massachusetts has rocky coasts, ports, cliffs, and is very sandy. Summers are warm and winters are mild. There is a population of more than 200,000 people. The people there were mostly puritans, Indians, and farmers. There were no trained doctors. The work was strictly divided between men and women. Their jobs were mostly farming and trade.
European history in Massachusetts begins with adventurous explorers, who explored the coast of Massachusetts centuries before the Mayflower made its voyage. There is a legend that Leif Ericson and his Norsemen touched here in the year 1000 to cast their nets for cod. In 1497 and 1498 John Cabot carried through the explorations upon which England based its original claim to North America. Other occasional stops were made by voyagers seeking a new route to the East. In 1602 Bartholomew Gosnold explored the bay and christened Cape Cod for the fish. Twelve years later John Smith wrote New England journeying. In1634, William Wood contributed his “New England Prospect” to the growing travel literature of the New World. There was talk in Europe of the wealth that was here and the trade that might be established. But the first important movement toward settlement started in religious aspirations.
