...New England Colony vs Southern Colony There are 13 British colonies and each colony is different in several ways. The colonies are broken up into three regions: New England, Mid Atlantic and Southern. I have chosen to compare and contrast New England and the Southern region primarily because I found New England quite interesting and I am partial to the south since that is where we live. I recognized the two colonies had more differences than likeness. Politics were their main similarities. However, socially and economically they had some differences. One similarity was their royal governors. Their kings had the ability to choose the royal governors whom made all the decisions for the region. The royal governors tried to be as equitable as possible with the rules. Although the citizens knew they had to obey the rules they were not very fond of them. Each colony had the ability to vote for who would be placed into a position of authority and be the lawmakers. There were some early examples of democracy in the 17th century colonies. Virginia had the House of Burgesses that was a legislature picked by the people, which is an example of democracy....

...documents what was the nature and characters of these colonies? According to what is presented in the documents how might the colonies be distinguished from one another. (Compare/contrast) The beginnings of the American colonies started in the 17th century with settlers from different European countries such as Spain, France, England, Holland and Sweden. 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. England gained control of the 13 colonies after winning the war against France. 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. Historians distinguished the different colonies defined by their own unique characteristics based on where the settlers came from, who found them and what they did for living. The 13 colonies were grouped in three different categories; the New England colonies, the Middle and the Southern Colonies. The New England Colonies were mostly characterized because their settlers or...

...Justin Baker R. Brogan US History 1865 Midterm Essay #1: Question #1: Northern, Middle, and Southern Colonies Compare and Contrast America has always been a land of diversity but also a land of unity. This statement also applied to the first English settlements that were established here in North America. In the beginning years of America, the colonies could be divided into three regional areas: New England colonies, middle colonies and the southern colonies. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island comprised the northern colonies; New York, Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania made up the middle colonies; and Virginia, Maryland, Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia composed the southern colonies. These three colonial areas had both similarities and differences that will be analyzed in respects to their economic base, political structures, and attitudes toward slavery established in these three regional areas throughout this essay. Although many different types of Europeans founded the colonies throughout the eastern seaboard they were some similarities as to how they were established and how they made their economic bases. Throughout the Norton text I’ve noticed that all of the colonies were established through some sort of business enterprise, whether it was through the Massachusetts Bay Company, or the Virginia Company, or even a lone entrepreneur, looking to make a fortune for them. These businesses were all expected to turn a profit, some of them...

...History of the U.S. Criminal Court System CJA/491 Amy Miller 5-27-2013 Professor Angela Bradrick Introduction This paper will examine the historic development of the American courts. It will define common law heritage and discuss the evolution of American law. It will also discuss, compare, and contrast the evolution of the United States courts, including state vs. federal, and trial vs. appellate courts. Common Law Heritage and the Evolution of American Law Back in the time of medieval England, common law heritage was established. Because of the unwritten laws of this time, judges used customs and societal norms to determine what laws were sufficient for what crimes. These were considered judge made laws. Judges would decide cases by using past rulings and sentencing to determine current similar cases; this was called stare decisis (Meyer & Grant, 2003). It was important for judges to use this procedure, making it a less difficult to prosecute each case independently. According to Meyer and Grant (2003), common law was un-codified, meaning these were unwritten laws. As stated earlier, judges used previous verdicts to identify what forms of prosecution and sentencing of law-breaking acts would be implemented in current cases. Codified laws, or written laws were also defined by pre-existing customs, but they were written statutes in which society could familiarize with and recognize as a law. The changes came about, when the common laws were codified...

...Number Three The postmodern society is constantly changing. All the old things such as buildings are replaced with the impeccable modern ones. Just like the former English Teacher, Miss Coral who is caught between a rock and a hard place. Today people have to be perfect and everything we are occupied with must be done flawlessly. The author Anna Metcalfe emphasizes exactly this issue in the short story “Number Three”, where Miss Coral is trapped in a culture clash. She´s replaced with a so called “Real English Teacher” – the contemporary ideal person, Mr. James. Miss Coral is replaced with Mr. James who is supposed to be a better teacher than her. Her boss says he has done her a favour by making her an international hostess, in charge of an English teacher program. After all he could have chosen to fire her, “The director was keen that she should not take the redistribution of her skills as a sign of promotion (…) she has been withdrawn from teaching on grounds of incompetence”, (line 13-15). Throughout the short story “old” Miss Coral is equated with the Tianfu slum. She is replaced with Mr. James, who is modern and new. The old city is also replaced with something better and fresh, “The shanty town shacks of Tianfu, half flattened, are making way for settlement housing”, (line 19-20). The setting plays a major role in the short story as it refers to Miss Coral´s state of mind. The big polluted city has “flattened” Miss Coral and her career. The smog and dust in the city...

...Requirements for the Course Humanities in the World since 1300 at The University of Akron. March 5, 2015 Introduction This is an analysis of slavery based on two stories: The History of Mary Prince and Semsigul. In addition, there is comparison and contrast of the two stories along with supporting or dissenting arguments offered in the Overfield readings with regards to slavery in the Spanish colonies. The perspective of this analysis looks at the following aspects of coerced labor: 1. The relationship between the master and the slave 2. The struggle of the slaves against the slavery system 3. The impacts of the slavery system on the health of the slaves The Mary Prince account is autobiographical hence, although in her own voice, there may be some liberties given to the facts and conflicts of interest when delivering details of her story objectively. In addition, there may be some instances where she would have a limited perspective. By contrast, Semsigul’s story is her testimony within a police report –just facts and answers to questions. Alonso Zorita speaks on behalf of the indigenous in his account of Indian forced labor in the Spanish colonies. His accounts will be used to further compare and contrast the two main perspectives. The Relationship of the Master and the Slave In the slave society, the master was the ultimate ruler and slaves were chattel...

...Finding a balance between refreshing new ideas and ideas straight from the source is often the most difficult part of production. Often, this difficulty stems in the decisions that have to be made over what plot details to cut and which ones to include. In a 1.5 to 2 hour time frame, an entire novel needs to be explained. Three key story details left out of the movie in contrast to the book include who the boys at Battle School are, the Demosthenes and Locke storyline on Earth, and Ender going to the bugger home world. These three points of interest were most likely cut due to time constraints, yet they are pretty important to the story. For one, the boys in movie have no personality. They are simply humble servants to Ender after he becomes commander and we are given no explanation why we know some of their names. Characters like Bean, Dink, and Petra are never explained and we never know their thoughts or stories. In the book, these characters each had moments of importance in Ender’s journey. The Demosthenes and Locke storyline was most likely cut because it doesn’t impact Ender till the end of the story. This storyline is vital for the story though, because this...

...India is one of the countries in which urban centres and urbanization flourished as early as 3000 B.C. The urban centres of Mohenjodaro, Harappa and Lothal may be cited as the examples of pre-historic urbanization in India. During the ancient and medieval periods of Indian history, numerous towns and cities developed, mainly because of socio-economic, geo-political and cultural reasons. Most of them were walled cities like Delhi, Sirhind, Lahore etc. which were centres of regional powers and trade. The arrival of the East India Company led to the development of many cities and towns. The urbanization during this period is vastly different as the British developed towns according to their functions and were different from the earlier Indian cities. The major types of towns developed by the British can be classified into the following categories: 1. Cantonments at strategic places within India to contain disaffection by the rulers of states and principalities. Some of the major cantonments are Ambala, Ahmedabad, Agra, Jhansi, Meerut, Roorkce, Mhow etc. 2. Hill Stations in Himalayas and Western Ghats mostly as sanatoria where Europeans could brave out the harsh Indian summers. Shimla was developed as the summer capital of India. Other hill stations developed by the British are Mussoorie, Nainital, Kasauli, Darjeeling, Almora, Kodaicanal, Ooty etc. 3. Ports or Trading Centres to export Indian raw material and import English finished goods for redistribution in the Indian market...

...treated with respect and equality under law, and only if liberalization happens. Yes, it did not happen, so the second option, that the Filipinos would shake off the Spanish yoke, came true. So this is what we are going to follow, and we will compare and contrast what Dr Rizal predicted and what actually happened. Dr. Rizal predicted that the revolution would be bloody, and by bloody hell it was. Filipinos fought tenaciously, that is until the Americans came. Dr. Rizal also predicted that the Americans would come, however he predicted that it would be unlikely since "this is contrary to her traditions." However, America did this through cunning and not through direct military conflict, and to hell with traditions! Americans had been hypocrites... And i hope they will no longer be. Reading through the essays of Rizal, one could say that the hero is not just as great writer but a great Historian as well. His essay, The Philippines a Century Hence presents a radical prophesy of Rizal of how the Philippines would be through the century. Rizal presented a clear idea of how our Motherland will end up centuries later proposing that our country will end up in either of the three ways;(1) that the Philippines will remain to be a colony of Spain but will be in good terms with it’s captors;(2) that the Philippines will try to cut the ties of our Motherland from it’s captors through violent means;(3) and lastly that we will be colonized by another country. The thoughts of Rizal were...

...Cause and Outcome of War 1754-1815 Abstract This paper will compare and contrast the French and Indian War, American Revolution, and the War of 1812. All three wars were fought over land or expansion in one form or another. The French and Indian War was fought because both countries believed they had the right to the Ohio River Valley. This caused Britain to tax the colonist and place restrictions that led to the American Revolution. The American Revolution gave the colonies their freedom from British rule and the ability to form their nation and laws. Great Britain never respected the United States as a sovereign nation. Due to the conflict with France both France and Britain restricted U.S. imports because of the belief that the U.S. was supplying the enemy. The embargoes on American shipments along with the Native American attacks on colonist caused the War of 1812. The greatest accomplishment of the War of 1812 was the era of good feelings. Cause and Outcome of War 1754-1815 The cause and outcome of the French and Indian War, American Revolution, and the War of 1812 had many similarities. The wars started with the French and Indian war that was fought over the Ohio River Valley, which began in 1754 ending with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The American Revolutionary War was fought over the colonist not given the same rights as Englishmen along with the taxation of the colonist that began 1775 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1783. The War of 1812 was fought because...
