...“Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to properly; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can.” Colonies are either established to open a chapter for better or for worst.

...Both settlements set sail for the new world with good intentions even though they landed on opposite climates, each climate gave the colonies difficulty; Jamestown with its warmth spread diseases through mosquitos and Plymouth with its cold was starvation. The difference in climates also played a part in settler’s backgrounds, the Jamestown settlers were not used to working as they came from a more privileged background, this is also what lead them to seek the new world, for gold and financial gains. Plymouth settlers on the other hand were farmers, hard workers, Pilgrims were used to sharing and getting along; this is where Thanksgiving came from.

...Jamestown and The Plymouth plantation are both similar but also different. The stories that were based upon these settlements made me realize that if I were to have to chose which group of colonist, I would have to chose the Puritan settlers. Jamestown landed in Virginia in 1607 and made it the first English settlement in this new world. Jamestown was a great settlement for goods and crops because of the great weather and rich soil for the plants and food to be successfully grown. The English looked for gold and silver and they did find , in Virginia, it was a better economic living. The English sailors began to build shelter and begin their new lives in this different country. Although they did come upon problems, the natives weren’t so pleased to see strangers take their supposed land. Captain John Smith was one of the main sailors and he fell in love with Pocahontas and when Pocahontas’s father found out he was sentenced to death, but Pocahontas didn't allow it and eventually let him and his other sailors be. Although, the Jamestown settlement sounds prevail. There is another settlement that happened thirteen years later in Massachusetts. About 102 settlers on the Mayflower ship came to settle in America. The settlers used their cold climate and rocky soil to farm crops. They also fished and traded. The settlers fled England not for money, but...

...meeting and how it took a long period of time to get things straight or taking care of. On the other hand a man name William Bradford a Godly sincere person who believes in religion, prays a lot and gives God all the thanks for blessing him with fertile land keeping him safe. Bradford was an architect of the Mayflower Covenant. The mayflower covenant is simply an agreement between settlers who has rested on “the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith in which the Country and king is honor. He also creates boundaries of how the native and people of Plymouth should treat each other. Looking at how these two mean were so different at the same time, seeing things so differently seems so ironic today. Work Cited Baym, N. (Ed.). (2007).

The colony Jamestown, was the first to establish in the Eastern Coast in the year 1607, in what is today known as Virginia and a little more than a decade later in the year 1620 the pilgrims settled at Plymouth in what is today known as Massachusetts.

These 13 colonies were Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. The first settlers of the American colonies came for different motives, all looking to fulfill different aspects of their lives, some looking for freedom of creed, others to improve their financial situation and some others for adventure.

...7 Corporations in the Modern Era The Commercial Transformation of Material Life and Culture I hope we shall . . . crush in [its] birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country. —Thomas Jefferson (letter to Tom Logan, 1816) J 1 ustice John Paul Stevens of the U.S. Supreme Court cited the third president of the United States in his strong dissent to the majority’s 2010 decision allowing corporations unlimited spending on behalf of political candidates.1 Quoting the court’s earlier McConnell decision, Stevens wrote, “We have repeatedly sustained legislation aimed at ‘the corrosive and distorting effects of immense aggregations of wealth that are accumulated with Jefferson’s animus may seem curious in light of the history of British corporations that financed the settling of the first North American colonies and, as discussed in this chapter, are often credited with providing the model for representative government adopted by the framers of the U.S. Constitution (Tuitt 2006). 280 Corporations in the Modern Era——281 the help of the corporate form.’” The court’s decision, Justice Stevens continued, “will undoubtedly cripple the ability of ordinary citizens, Congress and the States to adopt even limited measures to protect against corporate domination of the electoral process.” The essence of Justice Steven’s dissent in the Citizens United v.

...HUM 1000: WORLD CIVILIZATIONS NOTES BY DR. KAKAI P.W THE NATURE AND ORIGIN OF CIVILIZATION IN AFRICA Definition of key terms As we begin this course, it is crucial to first discuss our understanding of the concept ‘civilization’. This is a comparative term which is usually applied in comparison to such words as ‘barbarian’ ‘savage’ and ‘primitive’. In classical antiquity the Europeans used the word ‘barbarian’ to refer to a foreigner who was regarded as inferior (Ogutu and Kenyanchui, An Introduction To African History, 1991 p33). Do you think this is still the way we use the word barbarian? The Latin speakers referred to hunters, food-gatherers as savage. In the 17th century this term ‘savage’ referred to a person without art, literacy, or society who lived in fear of existence and death. ‘Primitive’ on the other hand, in Latin meant ‘the first or original’. Europeans used these words interchangeably when referring to non-Europeans while the word civilization was preserved to describe historical developments of European people (ibid). Now the term civilization is no longer confined to the above development but also extends reference to non-European communities. Attributes of civilization includes observance to law, belonging to an organized society, having a society of literate people with advanced developments in urbanization, agriculture, commerce, arts and technology. The French thinkers of the 18th century referred to a person of the arts and literature...
