Why was Charles town so difficult to settle ?
Have you ever moved to a unknown place where you have no idea what's coming to you where you don't know anything.Well some settlers from England and /or Europe wanted to go to a different land, location, or place. The word settle means to come to a place and stay there and start from the bottom and make a home, building, and place to make a living . The settlers came to the new world for many reason but geographic, resources, and disease made it difficult to settle so the settlers worked hard and get into fights with the natives but then the settler lived peacefully.
Charles town was difficult because of geographic according to the map on Doc.A were soil,land and water. “It is remarkable for the diversity of is soil. This phrase described the beauty of South Carolina. The water became both advantage and a disadvantage to the europeans because they could travel and grow crops with the water. It was a disadvantage because the water could over flood destroying the crops and buildings. Some of the problems that the europeans faced was that they were surrounded by rivers and water. Climate and weather made it hard to travel . The map they had was not trustworthy because they did not know how the land really looked .Those in which were some

problems to why it was so difficult to make a life in Charleston . Another reason that Charles Town was so difficult to settle was because of resources .The soil was one reason because high tides happen so the location made it difficult. The flat land would be an advantage to the settlers because it made it easy to travel and grow crops .”viewing the land here,we found an extraordinary rich, black mould and same of a copper-colour. A disadvantage is the type of soil the settler found in Charles Town which was much burthened with iron so that made it hard to grow crops. It was also difficult because of the animals the animals life in the Carolinas also made it difficult to live in Charleston because the animals that lived there was panthers,tigers,wolves,and other beasts of prey. The last reason to why Charles town was so difficult to live in was because of disease.
“A great cloud seems at present to hang over this province.” This means that a bad cloud which was the disease that was spreading. The disease that Charleston had was called Smallpox. The impact that Smallpox had in the developing on the colony is that many people die of the Smallpox . Which hurt the town's economy because the Smallpox killed so many people that many business went down. If the business went down then the jobs were lost and if there was no jobs no money. If there was no money then people could not buy food which meant that people died. If people died then the population
decreases. This are just some reasons to why settling in Charles Town o difficult to settle because of geologic, resources, and because of disease. And even tho it was difficult to settle in Charleston . The europass manage to stay and settle in Charles Town . It was hard and they got into many fights but it all pay up at the end of the day. Because of it was not for their braveness and strength we might have never lived in the new world. Until maybe later but it would had a different benging and ending and Carolina's history would have been all different. It would not have been the story we all know today.
The New England and the Southern colonial settlements were united in several areas that created the opportunity for each group of colonies to grow. However, these groups of colonies took divergent paths when it came to the founders’ motives to settle the New World, the importance of religious and social orientation, economic approaches and political developments. These different approaches were ultimately successful beyond the early founders’ expectations.
Explain. The story of Black Sunday offers hope to the people of Delhi because when Catherine was living during the Great Depression and all the dust storms, she didn’t see how it would get better and her family was struggling with their crops and sales. Eventually, things turned around for the better, there weren’t as many dust storms, the crops were growing and her family was getting better to. This offers hope to the people of Delhi because if things could get better for the prairie then maybe it could get better for Delhi.
Riches and materialistic things drew many people into the new land, but other people, like the settlers of Plymouth, were not drawn by materialistic riches, but by the riches of their religious faith and the freedom to practice what they wanted. Both colonies had many difficulties throughout their stay. Each settlement took their own approach at how to deal with things and how to overcome their own obstacles. They each saw their own way of finding space and because of that, both colonies were completely different because they each found a way to accomplish their goal and fulfill their
The environmental conditions of South Carolina differ dramatically to that of England. The days are long, hot, humid, and at times damp. The people of the colony deserve admiration for dealing with such unfavorable weather. Occasionally, storms stemming from the Atlantic Ocean wreak havoc on the villages, upturning the soil and damaging the trees, but the majority of the days are bright with sunshine. During the spring and summer there is a combination of rain and scorching heat, whereas during the fall and winter it sometimes snows in the northern section of South Carolina, but throughout the rest of the region the climate remains moderately cool. The land is undulating and layered with an abundance of forestry. Yet, the terrain does not consist entirely of woodlands and smooth hills. The land is far from perfect. A large portion of the territory is made up of marshlands. The ground is somewhat blemished by the scattered swamplands. These quagmires are abode with vicious alligators and infested with countless mosquitoes. These bloodsucking mosquitoes in turn spread malaria amongst the populace.
Looking at the early English colonies in the Chesapeake Bay region, it’s clear that the English had not learned any lessons from their experiences at Roanoke. Poor planning, a bad location, unrealistic expectations, flawed leadership, unsuccessful relations with the local Indians, and no hope of finding the mineral wealth the Spanish found in Mexico, all contributed to failure. The first colonists in the Chesapeake region were not only ignorant, lazy and unambitious, but their attempts were hampered before they had begun. However, a solution to these problems was found in a single plant: tobacco. Nevertheless, this cash crop ultimately created numerous problems for the colonists. The ignorance and indolent acts of the Chesapeake colonists to unsuccessfully restore the colony by themselves led to the demise of the colony as a whole especially regarding the planting of agricultural goods for food.
The English Settlement in the New World was largely the result of the Age of Exploration. The English started emigrated to the New World around the early 1600s; they settles in regions including the New England and the Chesapeake region and by the 18th century these two regions had developed their own society. These two regions had developed different political, economic and social system in their regions. The political differences were due to who governs the colony. The economic differences were due to the motives of the settlement. The social differences were due to the people who settled there, while the New England emigrated as a family, the Chesapeake emigrated with mostly male.
The Native Americans saw what the Europeans were doing to their land, they wanted their old way of life, and they wanted the Europeans to leave.
The New England, Middle and Southern colonies were all English ruled, but yet very different. Among their distinctions, was the geography which played an important role in shaping these colonies. New England attracted Puritan farmers who wanted to separate from the Catholic Church. But because of the bone dry soil in the North, these colonists found they couldn't continue with their traditional ways of farming. However, with the immense amounts of water that surrounded them, they found that they could fish and trade. The Middle colonies on the other, hand had a moderate amount of everything. The fertile soil and the major seaports such as Philadelphia and New York, allowed these Middle colonists to make a living any way they saw fit. This led to the brisk development of the Middle Seaboard . Unlike the Middle and Northern colonies, the Southern colonies had large amounts of fertile land allowing for the development of large plantations. Because farming the plantations was the economic thrust for the South, towns and cities developed slowly. Thusly Geography greatly affected the lifestyles of these regions in the New World.
The colonists immigrated to the New World in search of religious freedom. Their entire early experience was a constant struggle for survival. To the colonists the New World was their way out of poverty and into the
The pilgrims who settled in New England were in search of religious freedoms which was a major reason for them to leave England. These people believed that no one should be persecuted because of their religious beliefs. Some Protestants wanted to break away from the Anglican church while others wanted to be completely separate. Since there were many reasons for leaving England, there were many reason to go to America and set up the New England colonies. Another main reason for people such as farmers, craftsmen and traders to travel to America was to establish an all around better life. The colonies of Massachusetts and Rhode Island were settled by people in search of religious freedoms or a better overall way of life. They wanted a better
The hot climate of the Chesapeake region was appealing to large landholders. It was profitable, especially along the rivers, because mass production of rice and tobacco was possible. The colder climate of New England, however, made the production of crops more difficult, requiring the New England industry to diversify and include smaller farms, fishing for cod, and ship building. The climate in New England also made the spread of disease more difficult, increasing life expectancy, more so for men, in the region. The Chesapeake climate allowed the rapid spread of disease; life spans were shorter, making it even more difficult for families to grow. The abundance of large plantations and crops due to the Chesapeake climate made outside help from slaves and servants was much more necessary and profitable than in New England because of New England’s colder climate, limiting their farming
White settlers started moving westward to settle the land gained by the victory over the Native Americans. A major factor that caused this major movement, other than by the victory of the war, was the homestead act. This act provided and granted 160 acres of free land to any citizen who was the head of a house or family. While moving, the settlers were challanged by the new enviornment of the plains and they had to start adapting to the new enviornment. While moving west, all farmers were supported by the government on technical aspects and on agricultural education.
After the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus, European Nations competed in a race against one another to claim pieces of the new land. Before Columbus found this land, the sea separating the New World from Europe seemed endless, and mundane. The Europeans were only interested in the land to the East. But with the New World as a new hat thrown into the ring, the Europeans tossed aside their old toy to go play with a new one. This time period of conquest over the New World was known as the Age of Exploration, and by the 1700s, they kept their pickings. A New World meant more land to build homes and plant crops, and more money to be earned by buying out new houses and selling new crops grown in foreign soil. Spain claimed Mexico, and the Southwest portions of what would be known as America. France got their hands on most of present-day Canada, as well as Louisiana. The Dutch set foot on land they called New Amsterdam, however, The English, who had settled their first colony in Jamestown, Virginia, drove the Dutch out and claimed New Amsterdam for themselves, later renaming it New York. The English claimed more land as time passed, and eventually they had formed 13 different colonies in the Eastern part of America. The English Colonies were separated into 3 different regions. The New England Colonies (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire), the Middle Colonies (New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware), and the Southern Colonies (Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia). The New England Colonies were the earliest of the 3 regions, founded by English Settlers seeking religious freedom. The Middle Colonies were also founded by settlers seeking religious freedom. The Southern Colonies,...
Many tribes had reigning governments and tribal counsels as a way of life. With westward expansion brought changes. Many Americans were killing their livestock, the food they ate, and Americans were settling more and more on the Indian lands. In time, Indians began to fight back and take what had been theirs. Once this happened, the Americans decided to make the Indians like Americans, so we took their land and tried to make them Americans.
Beginning in the mid 19th century, many Americans began to settle west of the Mississippi River. The reasoning for this settlement could have been caused by many factors: availability of land, gold that assisted in the creation of mines, the American industry growing, or the construction of the transcontinental railroad. The rapid settlement in the west could have also began due to ideas such as the manifest destiny, or major disagreements between the American people and other groups like the Native Americans and Mexicans.
