"used to molasses for to grow rum" Jhonny: OH hey bob! How is your rum plant coming along? :D Bob: Whee'll I'll say its coming along just handy dandy Jhonny! One more once of molasses should get it coming along just nifty! :D
I need help with these questions: 1. Compare and contrast religion in colonial times with religion today. Did the threat of hellfire promote better morals? Reconcile the wrathfully Old Testament god of Jonathan Edwards with the New Testament concept of "God is love." 2. How can one reconcile the case of zenger with the classless society described by Crevecoeur?
+iAmit™ (Tutorials, GamePlays, GFX, and More!) 1. Well, in my opinion, religion has a very poor track record in promoting "better morals". In colonial times, biblical passages such as "you may take slaves from the foreigners who live amongst you" were used to justify slavery, and other pieces of the Bible were invoked to protect everything from misogyny to autocracy. In regards to the second part of the question, I see no clear distinction between the "wrathful" God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament. After all, the concept of Hell, or eternal torture even after death, was first introduced by none other than Jesus Christ in the New Testament. God is love indeed. 2. Yes, as both Crevecoeur and Zenger worked toward a common goal, that of promoting the ideals of liberty and justice among all Americans, not just a few at the top of the socioeconomic ladder. In the writings of both Crevecoeur and Zenger the common theme is clear: the word of the law must serve all equally, or else serve none at all. -Frank
Could you guys please answer these historical thinking skill questions for chapter 5? Skill: Appropriate Use of Relevant Historical Evidence- In this chapter, the authors maintain that “colonial America was a melting pot and had been from the outset.” What relevant historical evidence can you find in this chapter or the previous ones that supports, modifies, or refutes this assertion? Skill: Contextualization- The authors claim that by 1775 “democratic seeds, planted in rich soil, were to bring forth a lush harvest in later years.” As you read this chapter, can you identify ways that the Great Awakening and colonial forms of government provided the context for the roots of democracy in colonial society? Skill: Periodization- The authors conclude this chapter about colonial society in 1775, but the AP Curriculum Framework uses 1754 as the ending date. As you read this chapter, which ending dates makes more sense to you? Can you identify relevant historical evidence from this chapter to support your answer to this question.
+Giuliano Avella Disclaimer: I won't use page numbers b/c I don't know what edition you're using Mr Avella. 1) Melting pot assertion is supported by the pervasive array of ethnic enclaves. For example, colonial america had a significant Irish, German, Scottish, and black population in addition to the english. It was thus a "melting pot". 2) Great Awakening brought forth democracy by uniting the colonies in a singular cultural movement, and it is argued by the authors that for this reason the 13 colonies were the only ones to rebel (without the addition of other, non-mainland colonies). Early forms of government helped till the soil for the seeds of democracy as well, as the House of Burgesses in Virginia gave all land owning men the vote, and the first constitution was penned in Connecticut. 3) No brainer. The AP Curriculum is right, it should end at 1774. This is because the first shots of the revolutionary war were fired in 1775, and yet the book is forced to awkwardly ignore this to a certain extent, and instead focus on cultural issues. -Frank
Dates are always tough. The way we do it is just to write down all the important ones, the events to which they correlate, and just practice with them till you're confidant you know it
+SKT we use both the 16th and 15th, and will note when one text diverges from another (as is apparent later on). Overall, we will always favor the more recent addition, but will include everything we know will be on the AP test
Due to its geographical attributes such as rocky soil and less navigable rivers, the New England and Chesapeake colonies developed economies largely reliant upon fishing and small scale farming.
Hey guys i need help with an argumentation : "The American colonies prior to 1750, created a culture of opportunity and freedom very distinct from that of England." I need to support and refute this statement with specific historical evidence.
+Ben Actaeon Disclaimer: no page numbers b/c I'm unsure of what edition you have Support: 1) No legal classes, ie aristocracy. This allowed for total social mobility 2) The booming export driven economy created a need for workers, meaning that a culture of opportunity for hard workers emerged 3) freedom emerged due to representative houses such as the house of Burgesses Refute 1) Indentured servitude and slavery impeded upward nobility 2) Only white males with land had political powers in the areas where democracy was practiced 3) Even those who could vote were subject to British imperial dictates
I am reading the American Pageant #12 and so your talks are working wonderful for me as you guys go section by section. But I'd wish you guys would include more dates and years in your videos as my teacher is heavy with dates and without organization like that you're really uncertain when everything is happening, espicially as many chapters lap over each other time-wise. Thanks, and keep it up!
Man... I love Abe
The wink just killed me.
Bruh I’m in oak creek high school talking ap for us history and you guys really helped out
