The Oldest Synagogue In Rhode Island
When people think of Rhode Island, they may not think of its Jewish population. However, Rhode Island has long been known as a bastion of religious freedom. The state was, after all, founded by an outcast of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, cast out by the puritans for not sharing their religious convictions. Rhode Island has, ever since, maintained a strong commitment to religious freedom.

The document summarizes the planting and development of English colonies in North America between 1500-1733. It discusses the Protestant Reformation in England, early failed colonial attempts like Roanoke, the founding of Jamestown in 1607, the growth of tobacco as a cash crop, the establishment of representative government with the House of Burgesses in 1619, the founding of other colonies like Maryland and the Carolinas, and the rise of the plantation system and slavery in the southern colonies. It provides important context for the initial period of English colonization in North America.
Jamestown and Plymouth Colony
- Joint-stock companies allowed multiple investors to pool resources to finance colonial ventures, with profits and losses shared among investors and the monarch. The London and Plymouth Companies were formed through this system to establish colonies in North America.
- The first permanent English settlement, Jamestown, was founded in 1607 by the London Company but experienced a very difficult early period, with many settlers dying during the first winter due to lack of food and shelter. The cultivation of tobacco later provided economic success.
- The Puritans sought to purify the Church of England of Catholic influences and established the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629, bringing religious freedom but also strict religious laws and community oversight of individual behavior.
Plymouth colony 1620
Plymouth Colony was settled in 1620 by English Separatists who arrived on the Mayflower to establish a religious community with beliefs different from the Church of England, as they had faced persecution in England. Upon arrival, they signed the Mayflower Compact which established a system of self-government based on majority rule to set laws and order for the colony. Many died the first year from disease and exposure to the harsh New England winter.
The New England Colonies
The Pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts in 1620 seeking religious freedom from the Church of England. They established Plymouth colony with the help of local Native Americans, holding the first Thanksgiving in 1621. The Puritans established the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1630s seeking freedom from religious persecution in England. Led by John Winthrop, over 1,000 Puritans settled with the goal of creating a "city upon a hill" as an example to the world. Other colonies like Connecticut and Rhode Island were founded in the 1630s-1640s by religious dissenters seeking further separation of church and state than allowed in Massachusetts.

Unit 4 pp2 1
The document summarizes the history of religious freedom and the founding of colonies in New England. It describes how Puritans and Separatists faced persecution in England for their religious beliefs, leading some like the Pilgrims to settle the Plymouth colony in 1620. The Pilgrims signed the Mayflower Compact to establish a civil government. They received aid from Native Americans like Squanto. Other colonies like Massachusetts Bay and Rhode Island were later founded by other dissenting religious groups seeking freedom to practice as they wished. Conflict sometimes arose between settlers and Native Americans over land, such as in the costly King Philip's War of 1675.

Relations between natives & european settlers 8 1.2
The Spanish were the first Europeans to have contact with Native Americans in South Carolina when Hernando de Soto explored the region in search of gold in the 1500s. When they did not find gold, the Spanish established large plantations called encomiendas where Native Americans were enslaved and forced to work. Disease and overwork decimated the native population. The Spanish introduced African slaves to replace the declining Native population. They also built cities, established universities, and transferred their social class system, government, and Catholic religion. The French explored the region searching for the Northwest Passage and established fur trading relationships with natives. The English established permanent settlements in Virginia and New England in the 1600s for prospects of gold, tobacco

The document summarizes the history of European settlement in South Carolina. It describes how the first permanent English settlement was established at Jamestown in 1607. Tobacco plantations and the use of indentured servants and African slaves helped the colony prosper. This established the pattern for southern colonies like South Carolina. Founded in 1663, South Carolina was granted to Lords Proprietors and became a prosperous plantation colony due to its fertile land, mild climate, slavery, and attraction of religious freedom seekers. Large plantations cultivating cash crops like tobacco and rice using slave labor made it distinctly southern.

Ireland
Ireland has had a long and troubled relationship with the United Kingdom due to religious and colonial history. Ireland was not conquered by the Anglo-Saxons and retained the Celtic language and Catholic faith while England became Protestant. England colonized Ireland for hundreds of years, discriminating against Irish Catholics and imposing British rule. This led to armed uprisings by Irish republicans seeking independence, which culminated in the partition of Ireland and establishment of the independent Irish Free State in the south while Northern Ireland remained part of the UK. However, religious and political tensions in Northern Ireland erupted into decades of violent conflict known as the Troubles. While a peace agreement has largely ended violence, divisions between nationalists and unionists still exist in Northern Ireland

Chapter 7 notes
The Great Migration and push for democracy in British North America are summarized as follows:
1) Poverty and economic troubles in Britain triggered the Great Migration as many British people emigrated to British North America for more opportunities. This influx of colonists created pressure to settle more land.
2) Reformers wanted more democratic government and power for the elected assemblies rather than appointed governors and councils. This led to rebellions in both Upper and Lower Canada in 1837-1838 seeking democratic rule.
3) In response, Britain launched the Durham Report recommending uniting Upper and Lower Canada, giving colonies more power, and assimilating French Canadians to British culture. This led to the Act of Union

Colonial Regions
The document summarizes the similarities and differences between the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies. The New England colonies focused on subsistence farming, fishing, and trading due to their rocky soil and short growing seasons. Religious freedom was a primary reason for settlement. The Middle colonies had a more temperate climate and were known as the "breadbasket" for growing grains. Freedom of the press developed there. The Southern colonies had fertile soil and long growing seasons, allowing cash crops like tobacco and cotton to thrive on large plantations worked by slaves.
New world
The earliest inhabitants of North America were Native Americans who lived in various tribes across the continent. The most advanced civilizations developed complex societies in Mesoamerica, with cities, advanced mathematics, astronomy, and calendars. The first European explorers were Norsemen in the 11th century, followed by Portuguese and Spanish explorers in the 15th century seeking trade routes and riches. Columbus worked for the Spanish crown after being turned down by other monarchs. Early Spanish settlements focused on extracting gold and silver but ultimately declined due to overworking native populations.
