Today, we are doing blog discussions in class all day.
4. Describe reasons why Europeans came over from Europe. The spanish were getting rich, so the Europeans wanted gold! Servants wanted to come over to start over with their life and for freedom. People came over for religion practices and freedom. Also, Europeans wanted to get away from the Catholic Religion.
5. Describe the differences between the New England, middle, and Southern Colonies. There was a religion difference between the New England and middle colonies. The middle colonies used more boat shipping than actual business. The south had a lot more land per person, everyone was rich. (A lot of land, less people.)
6.Describe the causes and effects of the French and Indian War. The French and Indians were against English. British wanted to take out France for the louisiana purchase and Canada. It ended in 1763. The effects of the war was that the British won. British took over Canada. Also, the line of proclamation was the furthest line that the Native Americans could go. Winning put Great Britain in major debt! So they forced people to pay taxes.
7. Causes and Effects of the Revolutionary War. (1780's) This was between the American Colonists and the Britsh. "No taxation without representation." The Americans wanted their freedom.
8.Describe the purpose of the Declaration of Independence. To declare in writing that we have independence. It talks about that its only fair to get their independence since they are all created equally. The majority of it talks about king george the third and how he did a lot of bad things he did.
9. Describe the setup of articles of Confederation and why it failed. It was setup so the Congress could make up decisions on going to war. There was no presidents and there was just a congress and one per state, The confederatrion gave all the power to the state. If asked for money, the state would deny. This was not united at all. The 13 states didnt agree on anything, they would need three votes at least to do anything.
10. Describe what the U.S. constitution does and the amendments. This was created in 1787. It was amended 27 times. The Consititution establishes our government. The bill of rights protects people's rights. We felt that Great Britain took away our rights so this was a great thing.
