The document discusses the origins of racial labeling and the concept of "whiteness" in North America in the 1600s. It notes that in early British colonies, workers were not defined by race but rather by religion, nationality, and free or indentured status. There was significant intermixing between African and European populations. However, the economies' dependence on tobacco farming and the increase in African slavery led to the development of racial hierarchies, with white identity constructed in opposition to blacks at the bottom. Over time, the legal system was used to enforce these racial divides and cement the status of whites over blacks.

English colonies
The document summarizes the early Virginia and New England colonies. It notes that Virginia was originally founded to search for gold but became a tobacco plantation colony. John Rolfe contributed to tobacco becoming a major cash crop. As tobacco demand grew, large amounts of native land was taken over for fields. The New England colonies were settled primarily by Puritans who wanted religious freedom to practice their strict beliefs. Village communities became important in New England due to the small and scattered colonial populations.

Virginia began as a colony focused on finding gold but instead became a major tobacco plantation colony. John Rolfe contributed to tobacco becoming a lucrative cash crop. However, taking land from native Americans to expand tobacco fields was very destructive. The New England colonies were settled primarily by Puritans, who were passionate farmers but faced a labor shortage. Puritans strongly influenced government and society but were also intolerant of other religious beliefs. John Smith explored and named New England, which had geographic similarities to England.
John Brown
John Brown was born in 1800 in Connecticut and married twice, having 20 children total. In the 1850s he moved to Kansas to join his son and fought against slavery, leading to the Pottawatomie massacre in 1856 where 5 men were killed. In 1859 Brown led a raid on Harper's Ferry, Virginia in an attempt to start a slave rebellion but was captured and hanged for treason on December 2nd. John Brown was a prominent abolitionist who fought violently against slavery in the years preceding the American Civil War.
John brown
John Brown was opposed to slavery from birth due to his father's vocal abolitionist views. In 1837, he took an oath to end slavery in the U.S. or die trying. Throughout his life he supported abolitionist causes despite financial struggles. In 1856, his efforts in Kansas raised his profile but in 1859 he led an attempt to take over the federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry to arm a slave rebellion. When local militia and U.S. Marines arrived, Brown was captured, tried, and executed for treason in December 1859. His raid increased sectional tensions and debates over slavery and secession.

Stono Rebellion
The Stono Rebellion was a slave uprising that occurred in South Carolina in 1739. Led by a slave named Jemmy, around 20 slaves robbed an armory and began marching towards Florida under a banner that read "Liberty". They recruited around 60 more slaves along the way and killed approximately 25 white colonists. The rebellion was eventually defeated by South Carolina militia near the Edisto River, where around 20 whites and 60 slaves were killed. Many of the captured slaves were executed in response.
Slaves stono rebellion
On September 9, 1739, approximately 20 slaves led by Jemmy began a rebellion at the Stono Plantation in South Carolina. The slaves raided a store, stealing guns and ammunition. They then marched through the countryside, burning houses, killing over 20 white people and more than 40 black people, and recruiting additional slaves along the way. Their goal was to reach Spanish Florida to escape slavery. The rebellion was eventually put down by local planters at the Edis River, where most of the rebels were killed. In response, South Carolina imposed harsher punishments for future slave rebellions to discourage similar uprisings.

They combined elements of their African heritage with new influences to persist in the face of slavery and discrimination. African American history has profoundly shaped American identity through their cultural and economic contributions, as well as their struggles for equal rights and justice.

Freemen Blacks in Colonial America
African American Freemen came from various backgrounds such as freed slaves, immigrants from the West Indies and Cuba, and those from the Louisiana Purchase. They made up the colonial population in parts of the North and South, enjoying rights similar to other colonists. However, in the late 1700s, white supremacy began limiting their freedoms and preventing them from certain occupations and education. By the 1800s, free black communities achieved some wealth and social involvement, though the majority lived in poverty. Some became prosperous business owners and inventors, contributing to the early African American middle class. Their political involvement and representation varied between the North and South as slavery expanded.

Slavery was first introduced to North America in 1619 when a ship carrying enslaved Africans arrived in Virginia. By the early 19th century, the majority of slaves were in southern states working large plantations growing crops like cotton and sugar cane. Slavery became a contentious political issue leading up to the Civil War, and its abolition was made constitutional after the Union's victory. An estimated 12 million Africans were shipped to the Americas as slaves between the 16th-19th centuries, with over 600,000 brought to what is now the United States.
We Have Always Been Here
The document summarizes the history of Native American tribes that originally inhabited Virginia, including the Algonquian, Siouan, and Iroquoian peoples, whose combined population was estimated at 50,000 at the time of European colonization. Over centuries of colonization and policies that displaced Native Americans from their lands and sought to destroy their cultures and identities, their numbers dwindled to just 5,000 today, confined to small reservations. Though Native American peoples faced extensive discrimination that made it illegal for them to maintain their cultures and identities, in recent decades Virginia tribes have worked to rebuild and assert their continued existence and rich cultural heritage in the state.

The document discusses life and society in early colonial America, specifically in the Chesapeake region and New England. It covers several topics:
1. Tobacco cultivation and the rise of indentured servitude dominated the Chesapeake economy in the 17th century. Friction with Native Americans increased as tobacco expanded further inland.
2. Dissatisfied indentured servants and small landowners in the Chesapeake launched Bacon's Rebellion in 1676 against the governor due to issues with Native American attacks.
3. The transatlantic slave trade brought millions of enslaved Africans to the Americas, with around 400,000 ending up in North America. The southern colonies adopted slavery
Lecture 1 an introduction to american culture
The document provides an overview of early American history and the concept of freedom in American culture. It discusses how the meaning of freedom has expanded over time from initially referring to rights for white male Protestants to gradually include more groups. Native Americans faced discrimination and loss of land. Slavery existed in early American colonies despite the ideals of liberty and equality in the Declaration of Independence. Over centuries, the understanding and practice of freedom has continued to broaden and evolve in American society.
Black and Red- A Study by Nicole N. Harvin
Before European colonization, Native American and African cultures shared many similarities despite being separated by an ocean. Both groups suffered as slaves in Europe and were further oppressed in the Americas under chattel slavery. While they lived harmoniously together before racist ideologies, later anti-miscegenation laws strained relations by associating blackness with the loss of Native identity. Today, both groups still face common issues like poverty, substance abuse, and police brutality due to underfunded social programs and systemic racism. The document argues that Native Americans and African Americans should unite in social justice causes to overcome these challenges.

Freeman blacks
Freeman blacks contributed to shaping American identity and politics in several key ways:
1) They brought diversity to America through the assimilation of free blacks and immigration, and helped establish a homogenous culture that combined African and Christian customs.
2) Many free blacks earned an education and used their wealth to establish schools for black children, helping combat discrimination.
3) Their participation in the workforce supported the reconstruction of the American economy after the Civil War by filling important manual labor jobs.

American History 1
I learn many things and stuff I already know expand. In this essay, I will show these things that I
learn like social, cultural, economic, and political that develop America what it is today. First the
Native American experience, I mean is the First Americans is the people first came to the
Americas and around 6000 B.C.E., Indians began raising crops, maize. This helped encourage
population growth, especially in present-day Mexico. Later on, American Empires start popping
up like the Aztec Empire, Tenochtitlán was the capital established trading routes throughout the
empire and used tribute (taxes). To what I remember the Europeans had a hierarchy, for example,
the peasant society where the poor individuals, mostly farmers; made up most of the immigrants
to the Americas. Europeans also had families patriarchal; property and wealth were based on
male families. But back in those days’ females gave up many rights when married name,
property, expected to submit to the husband. Also, the eldest son inheriting most of the wealth
they are called Primogeniture. This later encouraged immigration to colonies, because the other
son can’t do any without “land”. The people who over Western Europe Roman Catholic Church
with its tremendous power, because it another way to help the king to control their people and
get money. But the Reformation, because of a guy named Martin Luther and his 95 Theses,
protested the sale of indulgences. The Reformation weakened the strength of Catholicism in
Europe. Now on to when European countries came to America and destroy the native population
there. The Aztecs were defeated due to disease, especially smallpox, and the Spanish Invasions.
Out of 120 million Indians in 1500, only 3 million or less survived in 1650 mostly due to the
disease and war. Things started to go downhill with all the religious and social tensions in
America. An example of this is the Salem Witch Trials when hysteria throughout MA in the late
17th century of the accused tended to be wealthier, middle-ages women and were “independent”
which challenged Puritan society. After the hysteria ended, prosecution for witchcraft declined
many colonists started to embrace ideas of the Enlightenment. Bacon’s Rebellion was a conflict
between Natives and “westerners” like Bacon, and then Bacon almost took control, died
suddenly. The stuff I remember from week 2 was slavery in the Chesapeake and South Carolina.
In 1740, slaves made up half the population in the Chesapeake. Slaves were defined by race;
slave owners could not be charged with a crime if they killed their slaves. Slavery was more
arduous in the Caribbean raising sugar and South Carolina raised mostly rice, similar conditions
to sugar plantations. In Chapter 5 that deal with 1754–1776, the only interest thing that sticks
with me is the War’s losers like the Loyalists, Native Americans, and Slaves. Because really
everyone was a loser expect the rich white man. Yet I still know why the.

7 Habits of Highly Effective People.pptx
Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.
