Chesapeake Region
The Chesapeake Region which is located along the American coastline between Maryland and Virginia, was used at its earliest exsistence as a shipping port for the English along a river known as the James that gave way to the colony of Jamestown located in Virginia. The area was prone to nasty, humid weather, which at times would become muggy,swampy, low, and which was located one the outskirts of a thick forest/ wood land area. The area was in possesion of the terriory of local Indian tribes, and all in all was not good for the basic needs of societal life such as land cultivation and farming; such disadvantages posed threating and burdensome to the lives of local settlers. Unfamiliar disease such as malaria, in which the settlers had no immunity had killed off hundreds of settlers. Jamestown had developed no significant intrest in comunity family oriented life, and physical health was hard to sustain. Once Jamestown had settled into its surroundings, John Smith came to become council president.

Anne Hutchinson & The Puritans
What was her problem with them? What was their problem with her? Results? So What?

Anne Hutchinson upon moving to Massachussets challened the clergy in 1634 on the basis of there idea of the "non-elect" ministers excersizing spiritual power over the congregations, while them having no right to do so. Through her outspoken actions against the Massachussets clergy, Hutchinson evoked worry within the Puritian society about the proper role of women. Hutchinsons actions resulted in her expultion of the ministers in massachussets as not being among one of the elect, and there for not fit to excercise authority over their congregations. Hutchinsons inspiring female voice amongst the community had prevented Winthrops reelection as govenor in 1636. In turn Hutchinson had been banished from society and from there she moved to Rhode Island and later the Netherlands where she died during an Indian uprising in 1643. Anne Hutchinson is a significant figure in history because she represents the very basis of the the struggle of the female voice in early Americas, and the religious struggle soon to arise.

French & Indian War: Map Analysis
=French & Indian War: Summary= The French and Indian war, or otherwise known as the Seven Years war began starting with colonial and French conflicts in November of 1753, however the official war took place in May of 1756 and lasted through the years of 1763, in which England and the American colonies rivaled in battle against the French alongside the Indian natives. The war had arisen as a result of the tensions amongst France and Britain over imperialistic territorial holdings in the New World; thus as a result of French expansion into the British Fort Duquesne; an area previous claimed by the nation. The war and its many battles took place over a large span of locations including: the outskirts of the British colonies from Virginia to Nova Scotia, penetrating into New York and Pennsylvania. At the start of the “war” (the years prior to its actual declaration) the French and Indian forces had taken the lead in battle until 1756 in which William Pitt became the British secretary of state, thus turning the victorious results of battle toward the British. In 1759, the British won the Battle of The Plains of Abraham, which allowed for occupation of Quebec, and in 1760 they seized Montreal, winning over Canada from the French for good, ending the war in North America. The Treaty of Paris was signed in February of 1763, and the treaty of Hubertsburg also signed in 1763, marked the end of the French and Indian War, or the Seven Years War.

( George Washington: twenty two year old lieutenant defeats a French reconnaissance party in southwestern Pennsylvania, in a surprise attack)

The French and Indian war was the bloodiest American war in the eighteenth century taking an estimated 900,000 lives, more than that of the American Revolution. Various territorial changes arose as a result of the war and shifts in the balance of world powers altered the world map forever. Historians often consider the French and Indian war the first actual “world war” because it involved nations on three different continents, including the island of the Caribbean. The outcome of the war put the British in an immense amounts of debt in which they placed upon the American colonies to pay off: thus gave rise to the soon to be American Revolution.

Assumptions of Republicanism-p.149

 * active citizens, engaged in the political process
 * independent property owners with civic virtue, the public would survive
 * few powerful aristocrats/ great mass of dependent workers, the public would be in danger
 * talents of people would determeine there roles in society not there positions at birth: equality of oppurtunity
 * embracing assumptions of republicansims would influence statescraft
 * nation of land owners-- homogeneous popluations
 * government gets power from people: assumption of demoncracy ( representative demoncracy vs. pure)
 * franchise/right to vote based on ownership of property
 * born equal but no equality of condition howver : //meritocracy//: fourtune based on merit(efforts and talents) not your name

Analysis
The Assumptions of Republicanisms are both good and bad assumptions depending on how people view them. Assumptions concerning the talets of people influencing there success rate, this idea of equal oppurtunity at birth is highly communicated into todays society, however it is considerably corrupt. Today many individuls are born with the same opputunities to succed however some are posed with potential issues such as poverty, public school education, ect., that hinder the capability of equal oppurtunity. Others, more wealthy individuals recieve greater oppurtunies due to there financial status such as : private school education, study abroad summer programs, ect. The assumption concerning the government gaining its power from the people is an exsitant assumption however can also be viewed as corrupt. Every one is allowed to vote over the age of 18 men and women alike, however how many of the votes actual count? Citizen of American are highly active in political process, and we are considerably a nation of land owners, however many of these assumptions have not carried on into todays life including: franchise to vote based on ownership of property.

Declaration of Independence Wordle & Analysis
media type="custom" key="7310879" The Declaration of Independence's most commonly used and significant words (as according to wordle) are "government,laws, independent,colonies,rights,happiness,mandkind,peace, free,equal, and power'. When a document is arguing in favor of an idea, the words within that document are most likely going to be parrallel to the argument: this which is the case within the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence was the "colonies" demand for "independence" from the "government and laws" that were preventing their "rights to happiness, freedom, and equality"; thus the reason the above words are so consistent because they virtually define the document in one sentence. Aside from the most common words, the most common nouns are : "Benjamin,John, Thomas, Britain,and George ." Benjamin Franklin had been one of the signers, but more importantly the editor of the Declaration of Independence therefor the entire document is in retrospect a contribution to his name, therefor it is easy to insist as of why his name would be in such constant use. Thomas Jefferson was the writer and a key signer of the declartion of independence as was "John" Hancock the first signature and early activist in the decision to seek independence from Britain. It is no coincidence as to why Britain had been so numerously mentioned seeing as that is whom the colonies seeked independence from -- the abusive government and their leader King George who had cast such depriving acts of freedom and individuals rights on the colonies. This document is most important not only because of what it entitles but because of where it eventually takes the United States. The Declaration of Independence, aside from the Constitution, is one of the most essential documents in the history of America.
