...Analysis of Jules Ferry’s argument on French Colonial Expansion 1884 The industrial revolution was not only a time of great advancement for the west but was equally troubling for the European countries, especially that of France. Jules Ferry, a French statesmen recognized a need for expansion and took it upon himself to go in front of French parliament to argue his position of the need for French colonial expansion. The arguments he made in support of his country were of economical, humanitarian, and patriotic views. The first of these arguments was economical in nature. Ferry felt it urgent to expand the French colonies because he recognized a change in foreign economic strategies that would directly affect France. He saw that Germany and the United States had put in place trade barrier that made them increasingly difficult to work with. Some countries especially those in the west were not only growing in population but were making technological advances by leaps and bounds. Amidst the continued success and growth of other foreign nations European markets continued to shrink and flood with new products. South America, according to Ferry was a market that they had used for a very long time and now because of the exponential growth of North American industry, Ferry was greatly concerned that North America was going to take over the South American market. Ferry realized that for his country to continue to flourish that something needed to be done. Ferry also had...

...Colonial Expansion in England After the loss of the American colonies in 1783 Britain began to look for new colonies in order to find cheap sources of raw materials. The 19th century brought about the greatest prosperity in Britain. Its sources lay in colonial expansion, industrialization, improved transport, and social reforms. At the beginning of the century Britain was at war with Napoleonic France. In 1806, Napoleon issued the Berlin Decree forbidding any country under his control from trading with Britain. In the following year, the British issued Orders in Council, granting the right to seize neutral shipping bound for French controlled ports. This decision led to a war with the USA (1812-1814). In 1815, the Duke of Wellington (1769-1852) defeated Napoleon at Waterloo near Brussels, and after the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Britain became the greatest and richest power in Europe. The British controlled world trade. In the 19th century the population of Britain increased rapidly. By 1815 it had reached 13 million and London was one of the largest cities in Europe (1 million inhabitants). By 1850 half the population lived in towns and London had more than 2 million inhabitants. Between 1750 and 1850 the population of Britain increased threefold. Victoria, daughter of the Duke of Kent, a younger son of King George III, succeeded her uncle, William IV, in 1837. Her reign lasted until her death in 1901, and it was marked by a steady growth of national wealth and expansion...

...Jules Ferry was Prime Minister of France as that nation launched its imperial expansion. In a debate with member of the French Parliament, Ferry defends the decision to expand. According to Ferry, what recent developments in world trade have made it urgent for France to have colonies? Ferry observed other countries prior to making his decisions. It seemed that other countries began to export more goods than France. Germany was setting up trade barriers; because across the ocean the United States of America have become extreme protectionists. Therefore if they had more colonies they set up more so that they could send more of their goods out of the country. “Europe and particularly those of our own rich and hardworking Country: the need for export markets.” Other countries also lack their export markets. “Yes, what is lacking for our great industry, drawn irrevocably on to the path of exportation by the (free trade) treaties of 1860 [The reference is to a trade treaty between Great Britain and France that lowered tariffs between the two nations], what it lacks more and more is export markets.” What arguments against imperialism have been raised by Ferry's critics? How does he counter them? To which the critics say: “Oh! You dare to say this in the country which has proclaimed the rights of man!” They also say that he is justifying the slavery. He responds and says that he is allowed to impose regular commerce upon them, and “that superior races have a right, because...

...For instance, the role of women was a missing essential in colonial Virginia during 1622. Tobacco was considered Virginia’s substitute for gold and potentially its largest financial profits (Give Me Liberty, p. 61). However, the conditions of this industry were harsh and both death rates and labor demand ran high, leaving the colony of mostly widows, orphans, and single men (Give Me Liberty, p. 61). Lacking a complete English social structure, women were considerably outnumbered in the Chesapeake, for it was mostly men maintaining the tobacco fields. The Virginia Colony insisted on the shipment of maidens from England to the Virginia. However, they implied that women marry only free and independent colonists who were to provide in payment for their wives in 120 lbs. of fine leaf tobacco (Voices of Freedom, Sending Women to Virginia, p. 26). Consider the excerpt from the document Sending Women to Virginia, “There are near fifty more which are shortly to come, are sent by our most honorable Lord and Treasurer the Earl of Southhampton and certain worthy gentlemen, who taking into their consideration that the Plantation can never flourish till the families be planted and the respect of wives and children fix the people on the soil,” (Voices of Freedom, Sending Women to Virginia, p.26). The quote implies that the role of women is a key component to the growth of...

...The nature and character of all the colonies were that they were short on supplies and all of them were focused on surviving in the New World. The colonies had goals and desires but were different in the ways they went about obtaining them. They all wanted to set up common ground, make rules for their region,and to start trading so they could make a living. In Virginia when they lost Captain John Smith and went through the starving time was an extremely rough period. Most of the settlers were struck with illness and had to turn to cannibalism just to survive. They realized eventually that things were not going to get easier so they started to work together to set up laws and became religious to provide a more stable environment. In Massachusetts Bay the Puritans were led by John Winthrop who was well prepared, organized, and a Godly man.They also were in search of establishing a settlement pleasing to God rather than being in search of wealth like other colonies. I believe those are the reasons that the Puritans did not have the same problems the settlers in Virginia had. Another reason for their success was : " On board the ship Arabella, Winthrop delivered a sermon, called 'A Model of Christian Charity,' ". This sermon set up the mandate for the settlers to serve as an example for the rest of the New World. The Province of Maryland was more focused on trading tobacco,meats, and furs with Europe and other countries to make a profit. Eventually they became more religious...

...Bacon’s Rebellion [Instructor’s name] [Class Title] [Date] Bacon’s Rebellion Introduction The historical event discussed in this paper is Bacon’s rebellion. Bacon’s rebellion was an uprising in colonial Virginia in North America that took place in 1676. The rebellion was considered first in history. It was among the first uprising against British authority by the colony and it was the first event that Blacks and Whites, rich and poor, grouped together under one cause. The rebellion was led by Nathaniel Bacon, an Englishman who had recently settled in the Virginia Colony[1]. Background Nathaniel Bacon He had extreme animosity towards Indians-hostile and friendly alike- and developed a worldview that all Indians must be wiped out in Virginia. Nathaniel Bacon was a wealthy 29 year old painter. He was a council at the governor’s office. He rose up as a leader of a group of freeholders (men who own lands and all immovable structures attached to the lands), who wanted to drive-out all the Indians in Virginia[2]. In 1674, these freeholders demanded that Indians should leave treaty protected lands or be killed. This group targeted all Indians, whether friendly or not, thus they are actually starting all out war against Indians. Hostility between Indians and the Free Holders broke out when Doeg Indians raided the farm of one of the Free Holders and stole a number of pigs. The raid was said to be a retaliatory attack by the Indians...

...The Ohio State University, History Dept. Colonial Virginia’s Culture during the French and Indian War: 1755-1756 John Rodock History 3011 Emily Arendt Due May 22, 2014 Introduction This research paper contains an analysis of the culture in the colony of Virginia over the whole year of 1755 and beginning of 1756. Most of the research drew upon weekly issues of the Virginia Gazette, the only printed newspaper in the colony at that time. Three dimensions of culture were explored: Virginia’s involvement in the French and Indian War (which was beginning right around 1755), Virginia’s economy, and its religious affiliations. A section on colonists’ relations with Native Americans was also written, of which The Virginia Gazette gave detailed insights and accounts, but due to the page limit of the assignment, the section was omitted. Involvement in the French and Indian War In 1730, the population of the Virginia colony was about 114,000. The next 20 years saw an explosion of growth in population due to the increasing demand of indentured servants needed on plantations. Also, Governor Spotswood encouraged immigration to the outskirts of Virginia in the hopes that immigrant townships could alert Virginia’s ports of any possible attacks from Native Americans before their arrival. By the time the French and Indian War had begun, Virginia’s population had climbed to just under 300,000 (Virginia History...

...It was a very nice Thursday when I drove down to Williams to visit Jamestown Settlement- a museum of 17th century Virginia. I went there with my friend and she helped me a lot in collecting information and documents. The reason I arrived to Jamestown Settlement because it was very interesting to see with my own eyes art works of 17th century that I have learned a lot in Humanities class and the textbook. Jamestown Settlement is a new museum that is located in Williamsburg, Virginia, and it took me about two hours and half to drive there. The staffs are very nice and helpful. There are four galleries with one is upstairs, that called Special Exhibition Gallery, and three others are along the hallway that “chronicle the nation’s 17th century beginning in Virginia in the context of its Powhatan Indian, English, and west central African culture, and examine the impact of the Jamestown settlement.” Moreover, there are ten pieces of wall that are also along the hallway, and on each piece, every ten years of 17th century is described. The end of the hallway is an entrance that leads to Powhatan India Village and James Fort. Also, there is “A Time of Revolution” film that is shown every thirty minutes in the museum. It would be really great if I could tell everything about the museum, but if I had to choose to save two pieces of art or exhibition, I would choose one of the three galleries along the hallway that is about “the people of 17th century Virginia” and the Powhatan India...

...power switch allows normal OS shutdown unlike the back switch, which immediately cuts power. Second is the NLX, which is for low end personal computer, supports riser card which adds expansion slots. Third is the BTX which is compatible with all ATX functions but is designed for better airflow and cooling. By having an intake vent at the front and an exhaust vent on the back along with having the CPU and memory modules installed parallel to the direction of the airflow, the BTX achieves its cooling functions. Communication buses are also explained. They are copper tracing on the bottom of the mother board and they make up the bus system. Often described as highways. Buses connect to various components and allows power and data between the CPU, Hard Drive, key board, mouse, USB devices, sound cards and any other components. System bus is the largest and fastest bus, it connects to the mother board and it carries data between the CPU and the mother board and vice versa. There are various connectors on a mother board one of them is the power connector known as the p1 connector. P1 has a 20 pin connector or a 24 pin connector. The 40 pin IDE, 34 pin Floppy drive connector, SATA connectors and the 50 or 68 pin SCSI otherwise known as Scuzzy. Today’s computers uses PCI, PCIX, PCIe(express) and AGP expansion slots to connect peripheral devices and system of buses.PCI is fast, PCIX is faster, PCIe is the newest, fastest...

...Go Back in Time with a Visit to the Historical Colonial Williamsburg. Colonial Williamsburg transports one back in time, to a time of America’s beginning in the mid 1600-1700’s. Williamsburg is reconstructed using the style and architecture of the era, even using the original tools and construction methods to build period authentic buildings complete with authentic furnishings and re-enactors dressed in period costumes. These re-enactors speak with the diction and style of that area, and the prep, time and dedication they put into their characters is clearly portrayed in their passion in recreating history. Williamsburg was first established as a fortified settlement between the James and York Rivers. It later became the capital after the state house in Virginia’s original capital of Jamestown burned down. The contractor Henry Cary took charge off the construction and built a H-shaped building. To prevent future fires it was built without fireplaces and candles, but when complaints were made about it being cold fireplaces were added and it burned down again. Williamsburg was not only the capital, but also a thriving, educational, and cultural center in the largest and most populated of the colonies from the period of 1699 to 1780. Williamsburg was the birthplace of many modern ideals that would shape our modern day government. The most important being, it was the place where the idea of the American Republic was born. A nation separate from British rule, A United...
