ENGLISH CLAIMS IN AMERICA Whitehall London

With the economy continuing to falter, King Charles at Whitehall called a meeting with all the important (and powerful) Bar-ons, Lords, Earls and Dukes. Naturally, he did not inform the unco-operative Parliament members. Charles spoke slowly “We have a problem.” “Yes Your Majesty. We have many problems,” the assembled nobles dutifully replied almost in unison beginning a back and forth animated discussion among the Royals. “It’s the fault of the Parliament. They refuse to raise taxes on the lower classes again.” “They just say ‘No’ to your requests.” “Parliament does not love England the way you do, Sire.” Charles starts again. “And there …show more content…

That was during the time of your father, King James.” “And later, your Majesty, your Father allowed those contemp-tuous Pilgrims, that we forced to move to Holland, to make a settlement someplace near the Jamestown one, named for your Father.” “That could be our New England!” “We are getting off the subject; the most vexing one is what to do with those Separatists, the Puritans? “Oh, to Hell with the Puritans!” “No. Not to hell, but to America.” “We do have a colony – Massachusetts Bay – the Pilgrims - remember?” “Then send them all to Massachusetts with the Pilgrims, they are all the same.” The King adds in - “Why not many different colonies for the various malcontents?
“My Lord, you are so intelligent. Yes, it would solve two ma-jor problems – We could send our over-populated towns, especially those having a religion not of the Church of England and then tax them! What a brilliant plan.” “Well then get on with it. Let me see – we need to provide a place for the Congregationalists”
“We could add on to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, take over some of that Dutch claim and call it say,

Religion was very important to the Puritans in the 1600s. John Winthrop a member of the Puritans gentry, wrote to his wife the ‘I am verily persuaded God will bring some heavy affliction upon this land.” A year later he went and lead a group of a group of puritans to New England.

Being the first two well-known places in which the English would set out to colonize in 1607 and 1620, Jamestown, Virginia and Plymouth, Massachusetts hold very separate set of beliefs, standards, and outlooks on life then and the future to come. While paving the way for things such as slavery, taxes, ownership of land, inclusion of women, tobacco and government assemblies, John Smith and the people of Jamestown became a classical foundation for new life and economic growth for the new world that is, the United States. On the other hand, William Bradford and his people began to realize the intentions of the Church of England were unholy and had strayed away from God’s teachings from the Bible. With this in mind, the Pilgrims set on a voyage to the new world to seek religious freedom. As we know it, the Pilgrims sought for peace and a new way of living that was fair, just and free from religious corruptions.

161076 10학년 양윤석 After a hundred years after Columbus’s momentous landfall, figure of the New world had already been conspicuously transformed. However, north of Mexico, America in 1600 remained largely unexplored and effectively unclaimed by Europeans. England was one of the country which enlarged its power on America during 1600s. Waves of Puritan immigrants arrived in the region of New England, and they started to form a new atmosphere. However, the biggest difference with the Chesapeake region’s inhabitants was that the Puritans didn’t aim primarily for economic benefit or trade.

Similar to Pennsylvania, many of the New England states were founded in order to grant people freedom of religion. The formation of Massachusetts was because many Puritans were looking to leave England's oppression; just as Roger Williams, who was against the Bay colony's religious restrictions, wanted to found Rhode Island to leave Massachusetts. The location of the New England colonies prevents settlers from finding many riches and its rocky terrain resulted in poor farming results compared to the middle colonies; therefore, New Jersey and New York's intentions for establishing their colony were far from those of the New England territories. Moreover, the New England colony of Massachusetts's religious motive was very similar to those of New York, while others, such as Rhode Island, were more like Pennsylvania's and New Jersey's. Just like New York's Dutch Reformed Church, the Bay Colony saw the members of their own church, the Congregational Church, as better than those who were not a part of it; They intended to control unchurched citizens.

The New Englanders took religion seriously, making unitary laws according to Puritan standards. John Winthrop, later chosen as the first Massachusetts Bay Colony governor, was seeking religious freedom. Wishing to inspire the colonists to dwell in brotherly unity, he summoned them together to remind them “that if we [colonists] shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a by-word through the world.” On the other hand, those in the Chesapeake region came for the wealth that America promised. They were there to become prosperous or die trying.

Immigrants could escape religious prosecution or just be left alone to worship freely in the middle colonies. Three common religious groups found there were the Quakers, the Protestants, and the Catholics. In August of 1672 George Fox, the founder of the Quakers, made his way to the middle colonies to spread his religion and hopefully gain more followers. On October 8th, George Fox stood in a middle colony General Meeting Hall and spoke about the “Society of Friends” to an estimated one thousand people. In his journal he documents that after his speech, “friends and people were generally satisfied and convinced, and the blessed power of the Lord was over all, and a great convincement there is, and a great inquiring after the Truth among all sorts of people, and the Truth is of a good report and Friends are much established, and the world convinced” (Fox 9).
