The Chesapeke Region
This region was newly settled by European colonists, but was previously settled by indians. This battle for territory created many conflicts for the indians and settlers. Many indians fought back to attempt to stop the spread of colonists from expanding but many failed. The agriculture there consisted mainly of domestic animals used to harvest fur, and tobacco plants. Tobacco plants became a widespread product quickly. This required more labor and as a result slavery. Others included vegetables and beans recently unknown to England. As the white population grew, indian population dissipated. This was due to exposure to diseases such as smallpox, brought from England and other European countries. This greatly weakened the indians chance of stopping expansion and raiding of indian territory.





Anne Hutchinson & The Puritans
Anne was a very important woman in early American society. She was one of the only women to openly speak against the clergy. She also questioned women's roles in society. this open criticism upset the clergy and caused conflicts between the clergy and Anne. She had many followers when she was banished from Massachusetts and led them to Maryland to practice freely. This opened a door to people to stand-up for their beliefs and relocate if nothing could be done. This new idea of relocation was great. this opened new doors and settelers moved up to New Hampshire and Maine as a result. These lands were rarely setteled before and were now becoming popular states to live in.

Social Mobility

 * __Defenition__-**Ability of individuals or groups to move an upward or downward in status based on wealth, education, occupation, or some other social variable.

__**Colonial Times**__ In colonial times, there were many classes but none really ever changed. If you were rich you had a say in government and sometimes even to recieve specail charters and grants. Other poor folks or middle class had no say in government policies. Also they couldn't vote because most were too poor to own land. Many were uneducated as well. The people with most influence and high status were wealthy land owners, government members, and runners of the church. Such as priests and ministers. Many people had no opportunity to better themselves and were forced to comply with rules already set for them. __**Present Times**__ In today's society, the world is relatively fair. All people have a fair chance to get an education and an occupation, as well as purchase land. All people can vote and become part of government and church if they please with a few restrictions. Government members must be voted in by a majority vote. Classes can change as wealth is increased or you become reknown to people. This opens more opportuinties to be created and sought after. Times now differ greatly from colonial times. Almost everything is fair, and all people have opportunities to better themselves. The basic guidelines for today's society were written with the colonial times as an example of a need for change.

__**Declaration of Independence Wordle**__
media type="custom" key="7035039"
 * __Top Words Used in Wordle__:**
 * **People**-This word is important because among the colonies were thousands of settlers who had to come up with a government system that represented all of them. The entire purpose of the Declaration was to satisfy the people.
 * **States**-The word states is frequently used to represent all the people and the newly freed colonies. States are what the Declaration of Independence was written for, to represent them.
 * **Laws**-Laws are needed to create order everywhere in the world. The colonists were angered by the laws set by Britian and that's why they opposed them. The Declaration was written to set guidelines on how to satisfy the people with new laws.
 * **Government**-The Declaratiuon is one of the most important documents in the government. It set guidelines suggestions and restrictions on how to create a new government different from that of England, that would still satisfy the people and not cause revolts as did with Britian government.
 * **Rights**-The rights of the people as human beings are the basic point of the Declaration and framework for the government of the United States.



__**﻿Assumptions of Republicanism-Pg. 149**__
These assumptions were in my opinion very smart ones. Creating all men and opportunities would in a way limit conflict and help prevent a government similar to the monarchy in Britain. Another great way to start a government opposing the crown was to make it run by the people, for the people. Making the rule that all officials must be voted into office created a fair chance for everyone to be in power and part of the system of government. Also by making all people earn their success they stopped one person from being superior to the other in a way of being favored upon. By limiting the rights of minorities and women, this gave the chance for Americans to start a solid government without any contreversial issues about homelands or minorial or gender inequalities.
 * Actice citizens, engaged in political progress.
 * No supreme rulers would have greater say in government than ordinary citizens. (Representative Democracy)
 * All men are created equal.
 * People earn their own success.
 * Nobody has equal conditions (Wealth, Ownerships)
 * All opportunities were created equal.
 * African Americans, Native Americans, and women had almost no rights compared to white men.
 * Independent property owners would be the majority of the population.
 * Outlines of a system known as a Meritocracy.
