The Glorious Revolution in England led to William and Mary taking the throne as Protestants, which relieved English officials but created uncertainty over control of the colonies. Piracy was seen as hindering empire success by the 1700s, though pirates had shared plunder equally except for the captain. Revivals in the 1700s emphasized emotional conversion over reason and eventually became intercolonial.

Soc studies #10 the middle colonies
The Middle Colonies of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware experienced population growth in the 1600s due to large land grants and religious tolerance. The Dutch originally settled New York as New Netherland, but it was captured by the English in 1664 and renamed. Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn in 1681 as a refuge for Quakers who faced persecution. Farmers in the Middle Colonies grew staple crops like wheat and practiced religious freedom.
6.2 Life in the Middle Colonies
The Middle Colonies attracted a mix of immigrants from Dutch, French, Belgian, and Swedish backgrounds who sought a better life. The Great Awakening religious movement in the region was led by George Whitefield and emphasized emotional, personal faith and tolerance of differing views. People of many religious groups lived together in the Middle Colonies and enjoyed community barn raisings and other social events in their free time. The largest city, Philadelphia, was purposefully designed and grew under leaders like Benjamin Franklin who established important civic institutions.
The Middle Colonies
The Breadbasket colonies of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware had rich soil, good climate, harbors, and rivers ideal for farming, fishing, trading, and shipbuilding. New York was founded by the Dutch as New Amsterdam and later captured by the English. Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn as a place of religious freedom, especially for Quakers. Philadelphia became a major trading port. Delaware was originally settled by the Swedes and later came under Dutch and English control. New Jersey was founded and given to British noblemen as a gift from the Duke of York.
Middle colonies
The Middle Colonies consisted of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. They were very economically successful due to their fertile soil and great harbors, which supported farming and trade. Religious freedom in Pennsylvania attracted Quakers and others. The Navigation Acts restricted colonial trade and were a cause of tensions leading to the American Revolution. The Middle Colonies accepted different religions and remain an important part of American history.
The Middle Colonies
The Middle Colonies were founded in the mid-1600s and were located between New England and the Southern colonies. The Dutch originally founded New York as New Netherland, but it came under English control in 1664. New Jersey was established as a proprietary colony by the Duke of York in the 1660s. Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn in 1682 as a place for Quakers to worship freely. The Middle Colonies had a diverse population and economies focused on farming and trade.
Middle colonies
The Middle Colonies included New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Farmers in these colonies prospered due to rich soil, a mild climate, and long growing seasons. They produced surplus crops like grains to sell for profit, earning the region the name "bread basket colonies." Major port cities like Philadelphia and New York developed where farmers shipped their goods via rivers to be exported. Life in the Middle Colonies was diverse, with people of many religions and backgrounds living together in a spirit of cooperation.
New England Colonies
The New England colonies were founded primarily for religious reasons in the early 1600s. The Puritans wanted to purify the Church of England while the Pilgrims sought complete separation and founded the Plymouth colony after signing the Mayflower Compact. The Massachusetts Bay colony was also founded by Puritans seeking religious freedom led by John Winthrop. However, dissenters like Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson faced persecution for their religious views, and the Salem Witch Trials led to mass hysteria and executions in 1692. Conflicts with Native Americans included the Pequot War and King Philip's War, changing the colonial landscape.
Early British Colonies U.S. History
The early British colonies were established for economic reasons, with the first being Jamestown in 1607. Tobacco became a profitable crop in Virginia while indentured servitude provided labor. Self-governance emerged through entities like the Virginia House of Burgesses and Mayflower Compact. Puritans founded colonies like Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay to escape religious persecution in England. The 13 original colonies developed diverse economies while remaining tied to England through the Navigation Acts; however, they gained a growing spirit of self-determination.

2. During this time, the American colonies consumed around 10% of British exports as trade increased, allowing for a greater variety of goods and larger homes to be built.
3. King James II created the Dominion of New England to more strictly enforce trade laws, but this led to unrest as the governor challenged land titles and religious freedoms.
Theme 6 part 1 American Colonies: Prelude to Revolution
The collapse of New France removed the buffer between the British colonists and Native American tribes. As traders abused tribes and British commander Jeffrey Amherst cut off gifts, many tribes united against the colonists. The Cherokee attacked South Carolina settlers in revenge for invading their lands, and the British retaliated by destroying Cherokee towns. This defeat led over a dozen tribes to capture British forts and settlements, but eventually the British resumed gift-giving to rebuild relations with tribes, as the French had done previously.

Guccione extra credit
In 1688, English subjects asked William of Orange to intervene against the Catholic King James II due to fears of a Catholic dynasty. William was eligible for the crown as the nephew and son-in-law of James II, and more importantly he was Protestant. Colonial officials tried to suppress news of the revolution but instead instigated their own revolutions in the colonies. King William then worked to resolve the colonial situations, removing proprietary power in some colonies and compromising to share power in Massachusetts between the royal governor and elected assembly.

American colonies
- 2. • The Glorious Revolution happened after King James of England descended the throne of England which consequently was filled by William of Orange and his wife, Mary. • This was greatly welcomed by the English because they had wanted a Protestant on throne opposed to a Catholic. • This then left many of the officials in the colonies in limbo since they didn’t know whether or not William and Mary would secure control over the colonies.
- 3. • In the 1700’s, piracy was seen as a liability for an empire to excel and succeed. This was after England had used piracy as a way to begin battles. • Pirates conduced a contract in which all members of the crew would sign which stated that everyone onboard would receive equal shares of property seized. This was all equally shared to the crew incept for the captain, who took a double share and if was often seen that they would give the wounded crew extra amounts of the share. • The life of a pirate allowed the ability to eat, drink, gamble and live recklessly. Many sailors turned on the owners of merchant ships to capture a ship. • The pirates loved that they were able to inflict violence on others rather than receive violence and defined their freedom as the opportunity to prey on other people who were not involved with their crew.
- 4. • The Atlantic trade allowed a growing economy for the free colonists on North America who had developed a extremely high standard of living. By 177o many British and Asian goods had increased in value. • A multilateral trading system was developed that used bills for exchange to balance and regulate regional credits and debts. • The Navigation Acts of the late 1700s guaranteed that the Chesapeake and West Indies would have to ship their tobacco and sugar products directly to England. • Although it was known to be “guaranteed”, there were still major set back because of the confrontations they had with piracy from local pirates. • Either way the Navigation Acts did help advance the economy direction. • Women were the leading consumers when it came to buying goods. This was because it was easier for them to buy goods then make them since they already had extensive labor that was performed through chores.
- 5. • Even though there were lawyers, merchants, and officials that lived in New England growing more and more wealthy, in the 1750’s there was a large growing number of poor in the urban seaports. • The poor grew in rural and frontier areas, due to harsh conditions and lack of funds needed to acquire livestock and tools needed to live • Poverty was linked to wars because tons of people were killed or turned to alcoholism. Also emigration brought a bunch of poor newcomers who accepted low income wages making it harder for the colonists and increased unemployment all around. • The colonist also shared an economy with England so urban colonists were basically at the mercy of British creditors who could take back credit and call debts at any time they wanted.
- 6. • IN the eighteenth century, there were many evangelical revivals that caused surges in religious fervor and new members • They insisted that God only bestowed grace upon those who admitted their helplessness to save themselves. • Revivals emphasized the emotional process of conversion especially fear and hope rather than reason. • These revivals remained localized and episodic until the 1740s when evangelical ministers began to interact and cooperate over long distances, leading to intercolonial revivalism.
- 7. • Mocierates believed church institutions belonged to a wealthier status and education. Radicals believed in other types of church's that brought heaven to earth during worships that dissolved social distinctions. • Radicals believed in free choice that allowed events to unfold but did not agree with in individualism. They created demanding communities within their congregations and referred to each other as each others brothers and sisters. Their preachers tended to be poorly educated but had a lot of charisma which was a main reason they were chosen. They didn’t acknowledge social hierarchy, race or gender during worship.
