﻿The Chesapeake Region
James I gave charters to London and Plymouth Companies to settle in America. In the early years, colonists from London Company founded Jamestown, but they did not live well in the region. The land was surrounded by Natives, and the landscape was bad. Many died to the expose of malaria. London Company then tried to expand the land in Virginia, but more disasters followed. Then Tobacco grew in the region which helped the economy. The Virginia Company to attract settlers. It was before the economic center, now the political center(capital)

Different Types of Colonies in America
1. Royal colony- rule for the benefit of the home country, ruled by a king or monarch

2. proprietary- colonize to increase wealth

3. chartered-ruled by representative, like Virginia Company. They make profit for themselves but also give some to home country.

4. self-governing(religious) - practice religion freely and form their own political and economic system, independent from home country.

Social Mobility
what is it? How did it apply in colonial times? Today?

There were a lot of land, but not a lot of people in America. Landownership was less powerful. Many colonies were different from England in culture, environment. Their life style changed from what the colonists intentionally planned. I think America today is social mobility because it offers many opportunities and freedom to different class of people. I see it in the world today, many people work harder and achieve a higher postion. If you have higher education, you earn more money.

**French and Indian War**
French Indian War also known as the Seven Years' war is a war in Europe that changed the position of England as the most powerful empire in Europe and America. French and English both dominated North America at the time. The struggle emerged when French expanded the land in the late seventeenth centry. Large population of French migrated to America. The prosperous fur trade threatened English's position in the New World. The support from Native Americans was crucial to who dominates the land.After King George's War, the relationship bewteen French and Iroquois Indians deteriorated. The British combined the forces with the natives against French. British was on the downside after Braddock was defeated. Then under William Pitt, England gathered together and attacked French at its hardest time. The war ended with the Peace of Paris. French gave up most of its land including Canada to English, and ceded New Orleans to Spanish. Even though English won the war, conflicts soon began w/ the argument of what to do with the terriotories. Britain owed huge debt due to the wra effort. They then taxed Americans heavily to pay off the money, and resentment toward imperial policies emerged within colonies

 * French only held the control of a little island in Carribean Islands
 * British established Proclamation Line of 1763, limiting the westward expansion
 * Hudson's Bay Company had a great deal of control on land

Chapter 4 summary
After Glorious Revolution, England didn't pay much attention to what was going on in America, where the colonies were already forming their individual self-government. As French gradually moved to the New World, their population and success on the fur trade threatened British. Both groups offered $, tolerance to win the support of Native Americans. Soon the war broke through with England at the disavantage.Then under the lead of William Pitt, English started to attack French and then win the war, which ended with Peace of Paris 1963. French gave up much of its land to England and Spanish, which made England the most powerful empire in Europe and America. English learned from the war that they needed to increase their control over the colonies. They passed out acts to pay the war debt. Colonists were also economically and politically restricted by English.Resentment grew and finally the first shot of American Revolution began in 1775. The revolution turned Americans and British into enemies who were once the resident of the same nation.

The wordle shows the most frequent words that appeared in the Declaration of Independence. ""People appeared to be the largest word because people is the key to a nation's success. D of I shows what Americans wanted at the time-"independence", which is another big word. The political and economical restriction from Britain antagonized the colonies. They wanted to make their own "laws" and "government" and thus be completely independent. The D of I is what Americans wanted, "justice", "free", "consent" because British passed several tax to Americans without the consent or any representatives from the American colonists. The word "happiness" was included many times because American were not happy by living under the absolute control of "Britain", which was also one of the reason for American Revolution.

The Assumptions of Republicanism(149)

 * republican-all power came from the ppl
 * the success depended on how the citizens behave
 * if the society has more independent owners, it will survive, and vice versa
 * equality-everyones born = (talents determine roles in society, nd ppl should earn their success, equality of opportunities

America never had a large population of the individual owners, more than 50 % of the population are dependent workers.America was a very unequal society.Your background, and condition of birth were the keys to determine your life and opportunities. Whites was offered w/ privlage, and blacks had almost no right, women had no political or economical power, and Indians were crucially ignored. These people were not born equally like the assumptions of republicanism. But still the this ideology became the model for many countries, even though America did not fulfill these predictions. Equality of opportunities, but not everyone can do what you want. General speaking, everyone has the same POSSIBILITY to succeed politically, $ CCQ if you hav a great talent in art, but never discovered... what affects you more? nature of birth, environment

Centralization of Power
-means the concentration of power in a country, politically, and geographically The power of states during American Revolution increased while the power of the Continental Congress, which was the federal government. The Congress had no right to tax, or regulate trade. As a federal government, the power to only declare war and take care of war efforts and paper currency is very little. Ast the centralization of power moves towards states, each individual state has their own policies rather than a national policy. Decentralization results in sectionalism. States care more about their own affairs with the state rather than work together and firm. More central the power, is a dictator or king. Decentralization is when power more spread out, satelliate bodies. How much power should central gov hav? Education policies should be centralized because everyone should get the same level of education despite your background. This is more appropriate for college acceptance because the colleges can choose students based on the policy line that applies to everyone. Standardized testing should also be centralized, no matter who you are or where you live, you should learn as much of knowledge as other students from other states. Trading policies should be decentralized because states have different geographic features which lead to different results in the economy.
