However, over time the two regions evolved into two distinct societies. These patterns in evolution will cause the regions to grow apart and, eventually in the future, rebel against one another. Although the evolution occurring in the 17th and 18th centuries would lead to diversity involving three important factors: social issues, economics, and politics. The first factor accounting for the differing development is social issues. The Chesapeake region was mainly populated by young men (and some women), who are mostly possibly indentured servants (Doc C). Being independent, these people migrated to this area seeking riches or a new beginning. As time progressed, the colonies in the Chesapeake began to disperse creating a social stratification. In 1676, this social gap will spark an uprising called Bacon’s Rebellion. After leader Nathaniel Bacon forced the House of Burgesses to authorize him to attack the Indians, Governor George Berkeley declared Bacon and his followers – land-hungry, white, indentured servants and slaves, who were a majority of Virginia’s

    How Did Bacon's Rebellion Made No Changes In Virginia

    Many factors led up to Bacon's Rebellion of 1675-1676 such as the end of salutary neglect in the New England colonies that resulted in England taking control of the colonies and creating high taxes on the their products. As well as former indentured servants being attacked by natives in their attempts at finding free land to the West and royal governor Berkeley stopping elections in the House of Burgesses for nearly fourteen years (HC). Some may argue that Bacon's Rebellion made no changes in Virginia or the colonies because the royal government still remained in power. However, there were more changes as result of Bacon's Rebellion such as allowing an election in the House of Burgesses for the first time in almost fourteen years, as well…

    During the 1676, Jamestown Virginia was under the diplomacy where taxes, budgets, land use, energy, infrastructures and common wealth turned into a public issues. Within this time the Native Indians were locals who shared certain lands in Virginia and made a compromise with the current governor, William Berkeley at the time, a treaty determining who owned which land possession.

    1.) American society wasn’t that democratic during the colonial days. Although it was much more democratic than England, it still wasn’t quite there yet. The constitution wasn’t signed and agreed upon until 1787, and before the turn of the 18th century, the colonies were a big mess. Most cities had an oligarchy, meaning a religious leader was in charge, making everyone abide by their rules, although it was often less religious and more on the tyrannical side. There wasn’t much separation of church and state. The only people who could vote were members of the church in most colonies, although some colonies allowed white men who owned property to have the right of franchise. People were hung, flogged, and exiled. Indentured servants had it bad,…

    How Economic Development Affected Politics in the Massachusetts and Virgina Colonies

    The development of areas and their politics can be greatly affected by many things, but one of the major developmental factors is economics. If two areas have vastly different economies, they will develop vastly different political systems. One such case can be found when exploring the development of Massachusetts and Virginia in the periods of 1607 to 1750.…

    The strongest agent for the phenomenon is that the two regions were founded for different purposes. Although both were founded by the Englishmen, colonies in New England area were formed for religious reason, while Chesapeake was settled for economic one. For example, it was stated in A Model of Christian Charity, John Winthrop, 1630 that “the city upon the hill” of Massachusetts must be the model of God’s worthy servants, walk in the way of God and work in favor and support of his most holy and wise providence (Doc. A). On the other hand, Virginia of Chesapeake region was founded by and attracted mostly laborers and workers for solely trade and industrial purposes, especially gold mining (Doc. F). Additionally, take into account the contrast of the abundance of people migrating with their whole household to New England (Doc. B) with the overflowing amount of single, young-aged citizen of Brooklyn to Virginia looking for jobs (Doc. C). The difference in emigration adds to our understanding of the difference between the two regions’ population, which consequently attributed to their development direction. But population was not the only reason explaining why the two groups of colonies were so different from each other.…

    New England and Chesapeake Comparison

    From prior knowledge as well as use of the documents, one could see the large differences in the two societies politically. Politics is a major importance in any type of community; it could easily make or break it entirely. New England’s politics came mostly from religion and the ways of God, as seen in Document D. Political voice in communities was determined by religion, as in the leaders were picked by people with high ability in religion. Leaders were also ruled by divine right, meaning that the rulers gained all their power from God himself. Also, as long as there were churchgoers, the poor man was equally powerful as the rich man politically, changing society, as they knew it. As you can see, New Englanders believed very strongly in religion causing major differences politically compared to the Chesapeake region. From Document G you could see that in the Chesapeake region, the people looked at everything very differently. The rich were much more powerful than the poor because the poor didn’t own the land to make political change and land equaled power in this region. Also, rebellion of the government could’ve occurred easily because of the large amounts of slaves and indentured servants. Due to these negative aspects, Chesapeake created their political society differently than New England due to precautions and the idea of the…
