In the early 1600s, Jamestown and Plymouth were the first permanent English and Puritan settlement that were established in the New World. The Virginia Company had sent four boys and 100 men to the New World on 3 ships to spread Christianity to the Natives and seek treasures for England. After 5 months of traveling, these 3 ships entered Chesapeake Bay. The colonists had established Jamestown which was named after their king in England. Another colony named Plymouth, was established a little over a decade later by the Pilgrims.

Jamestown and Plymouth, both early settlements of the United States, despite their similarities were very different colonies founded for different purposes. Jamestown was a business venture whose primary purpose was to find gold and a shortcut to Asia, and many of their colonists were not prepared to survive in such harsh conditions. In contrast, Plymouth was mostly Separatists who wanted to be free of persecution and wanted to devote their lives to God. Both faced terrible first winters, and lost many to disease, but as Jamestown had established a no work, no food policy, many starved to death. Plymouth had a handful of healthy men who cared for the sick, and worked day and night to feed the remaining 40 or so and meet their daily needs.

Since the Emancipation Proclamation ended slavery in 1863 there was a perpetual battle for African American equality in the United States that was a key part of our history throughout the twentieth century. Anne Moody’s Coming of in Mississippi is a book that greatly outlines the hardships faced by a black individual during the fight for equality. One main theme covered in the book is whether violent or nonviolent action is more productive in the fight for equality. This argument is one that defined various African American leaders in the mid nineteenth century. Leaders such as Martin Luther King prided themselves on nonviolent protests while others such as Malcolm X argued that violence was needed to truly reach equality.
According to the materiel Of The People, he Hurons differed greatly from the Europeans in several ways. First, in marriage and sexual relations. The Hurons entered into sexual relations shortly after puberty and these relations may or may not lead to marriage. In Europe sexual relations were supposed to occur until after marriage.

In the early 1500s, European countries began attempts to expand into the new world, but many of the early settlements failed. The first two colonies to have been successfully established were from England; they were Jamestown, the first inaugurated colony, and Plymouth, the second colony founded by Pilgrims who were searching for religious freedom. There were many ways in which the settlements differed, but the also shared various commonalities that (may have) led to their colonial successes. The settlers of Jamestown and Plymouth were different, having their own ways and ideas as to how they would, together, grow and thrive.
When colonists first arrived they received help from the Powhatan by trading goods with them, but their differences between them were bound to cause trouble.

This novel came out just as people were fighting over school desegregation, and civil rights movements that sought to restore basic civil rights for African Americans. It was a time of group action in the United States during which African Americans and the NAACP’s objective was to fight racism, discrimination and racial segregation that denied them their fundamental and basic rights. Lee was inspired by a catalysing event that occurred in her hometown in the 1930s when she was only ten years old. The trial is famously known as the Scottsboro Boys Case, where nine young black boys were wrongfully convicted of a heinous crime. They were charged with raping two white girls on a train and were sentenced to the death penalty.
Imagine one day being wrongfully accused of a crime and sent to jail without a fair trial or even a proper representative in court. That seems a little unjust, does it not? Unfortunately, many people in the past were imprisoned and killed for crimes they did not commit like in the Salem Witch Trials or the Scottsboro Trials. Even though the Salem Witch Trials and Scottsboro Trials were over two-hundred years apart, there are many similarities between them.
There were a few events preceding the South’s secession that were not directly related to the South’s secession. One of these events is the Adams-Onis treaty. This treaty gave Florida to the United States and changed the borders of the United States. Another event is the tariff of abominations. The events I believe were most responsible for the South’s secession were the Crittenden Compromise and the Charles Sumner speech and results.
