Essay on Colonies
|
|
|
|
The New England and Southern Colonies were both settled largely by the
|
|
English. By 1700, the regions had evolved into two distinct societies.
|
|
|
|
The southern colonies have characteristics that are the antithesis of
|
|
the New England colonies attributes. New England was colonized for Freedom
|
|
of Worship and freedom of political thought. The Southern colonies were
|
|
developed for freedom of economic opportunity. The New England colonies had
|
|
aspirations for a distinct society, where they could show their homeland,
|
|
how a country should be run. The southern colonies had goals for
|
|
mercantilism, and increasing the prosperity of England. The New England
|
|
colonies were based on theocracy, where the state forced the people to live
|
|
and worship in an orthodox way. The southern colonies(Virginia) had a
|
|
government based on a royal government, where the state was governed by a
|
|
governor and council named by the king, and an elected assembly chosen by
|
|
the people. Finally, the New England colonies wanted to establish the
|
|
colony for religious motives, while the southern colonies were established
|
|
for economic motives.
|
|
|
|
England and the rebels of England (Pilgrims), made up the New England
|
|
and southern colonies. "God Almighty in his most holy and wise providence
|
|
hath so disposed of the condition of mankind, in all times some must be
|
|
rich, some poor, some high and eminent in power and dignity, other mean and
|
|
in subjection. Yet we must be knit together in this work as one man."(John
|
|
Winthrop, A Model of Christian Charity) This statement by John Winthrop,
|
|
demonstrates importance of religion in the lives of the New England
|
|
settlers. "We must delight in each other, make others' conditions our own,
|
|
rejoice together, mourn together, labor and suffer together, always having
|
|
before our eyes our commission and community in the work, our community as
|
|
members of the same body." (John Winthrop, A Model of Christian Charity).
|
|
The use of the word "together" and "community" indicates that the New
|
|
England settlers were of a communal nature, they were less individualistic
|
|
than the southern colonies. The New England colonies were based on
|
|
religious freedom, thus their society was reflected the religion.
|
|
|
|
"These underwritten names are to be transported to Virginia, embarked in
|
|
the Merchant's Hope, Hugh Weston, Master, per examination by the minister
|
|
of Gravesend touching upon their conformity to the Church discipline of
|
|
England, and have taken oaths of allegiance and supremacy:" (Ship's List of
|
|
Emigrants Bound for Virginia). The use of the word "Master", shows, that
|
|
the southern colonies were more of a individualistic state rather than a
|
|
communal state(New England). This individualism was the effect of the
|
|
motivation of the southern colonies for economic opportunity.
|
|
|
|
"We whose names are underwritten, being by God's providnce engaged together
|
|
to make a plantation...." (Articles of Agreement). The New England
|
|
settlers, again were of a communal nature, in how they are binding together
|
|
for the good of the community. "We intend by God's grace, as soon as we can
|
|
with all convenient speed, to procure some Godly and faithful minster with
|
|
whom we purpose to join in church covenant to walk in the ways of
|
|
Christ."(Articles of Agreement). The statement above, shows how the
|
|
minister, was the head of the theocracy, of the small communities.
|
|
Furthermore, the "Articles of Agreement", demonstates the importance of
|
|
sharing within the community. This article, was another product of the
|
|
motivation of the New England settlers for religious freedom.
|
|
|
|
"This court... in the interim recommends [that] all tradesmen and laborers
|
|
consider the religious end of their callings...". The puritans believed
|
|
everyone had a specific duty in life, something that one was proficient at.
|
|
Almost all the mores and society itself radiated from religion, as a
|
|
result, many people who couldn't endure the rigidity of such a society were
|
|
exiled and the dissenters created new societies.
|
|
|
|
"The worst[among us were the gold seekers who]with their golden promises
|
|
made all men their slaves in hope of recompenses. There was no talk... but
|
|
dig gold, wash gold, refine gold, load gold.." (Captain John Smith, History
|
|
of Virginia). The southern colonists were a people who settled in the
|
|
southern colonies for econmic motives. The people were more materialistic,
|
|
and individualistic, thus greed prevailed. Conversely, the New England
|
|
settlers were of a spiritual nature, and were dispassionate in
|
|
materialistic matters. The drive of the southern colonists were toward
|
|
economic prosperity.
|
|
|
|
"For by our nearest computation we leave at our backs as many
|
|
servants(besides Negroes) as there are friedman to defend the shores and
|
|
all our frontiers [against] the Indians....[This] gives men fearful
|
|
apprehensions of the danger they leave their estates and families in, while
|
|
they are drawn from their houses to defend the borders."(Governor Berkeley
|
|
and His Council on Their Inability to defend Virginia Against a Dutch
|
|
Attack). The southern colonists were protective of their land, and were
|
|
seeking more and more land. The colonists' idea was for more economic
|
|
prosperity coming from more and more land. The southern colonists were
|
|
motivated for economic prosperity.
|
|
|
|
"Let us observe the sudden rise of their estates...[compared] with the
|
|
quality in which they first entered this country." (Bacons "Manifesto").
|
|
This statement shows how the southern colonists had progressed by arriving
|
|
to America because of their economic motivation. The advancement is a
|
|
result of economic drive toward prosperity.
|
|
|
|
The colonies were settled chiefly by the same race of people. The
|
|
distinct quality that seperated the southern colonists from the New England
|
|
colonists is that the motivation of the two were distinct, and as a result
|
|
two colonies diverged in their goals. The southern colonists were aiming
|
|
for economic prosperity; the presence of vast quantities of cheap land in
|
|
America opened opportunities for economic advancement unknown in
|
|
overcrowded Europe. The religious freedom was a major contribution because
|
|
in Europe religious toleration was almost unknown, and dissenters were
|
|
looked down upon.
