    Loyal British subjects from all over Europe inhabited the thirteen colonies that made up America in 1763. You had immigrants from not just Great Britain, but also Germany, Ireland, and Scotland. This created a diverse population of colonists who all came to America for different reasons, but the one thing they all had in common was that they were bold enough to travel across the ocean and start a new life. From the beginning it was clear that the colonists were brave people and willing to do whatever to escape religious and economic troubles. It was no surprise that after the Enlightenment ideas of Locke and Newton reached America that these bold people would expect the natural rights they were entitled to.

    Patrick Henry once said "I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death." This was a strong saying because he was basically saying that he would rather be dead then have no rights and freedom. Patrick’s Henry’s words were very powerful and many say that his influence on the population was one of the causes that led to the American Revolution. Thomas Paine was also very influential. He published Common Sense, the first form of writing that led to a serious movement towards American independence. It discussed ideas that came truly from Paine. He talked about the superiority of republican government over a monarchical system, equality of rights among all citizens, and the world significance of the American Revolution. Paine words made the Americans realize that they had lost a lot of their rights and if they wanted to get them back they would have to go against the British, which many say is one of the starts of the…

    Throughout the 16th century and into the 17th century the Americas started to become very popular settlement areas, especially North America's east coast. This area was colonized by migrating English that either fled from England because of religious persecution, the wish of starting a new life with their families or were in the pursuit of gold and wealth. The decision people made between those two choices(religion and family go together)was what shaped each region, the New England colonies region and the Chesapeake region. Although these colonies were founded by mostly people of English origin each region had a different view on everything; economic view and intention, different social thoughts…

Examples of French and Spanish town names include Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Boca Raton, and Santa Fe. Similarly, the selections from the Pilgrim, Puritan, and Anglican perspective support the melding of cultures that I believe forms the backbone of American diversity.…
