History 102 American
The English who settled North America established a variety of societies and developed a wide range of social practices. The diversity of believes and ethical systems, from the religious fervor animating early New England settlers to the competitive and commercial impulses of many colonists on the southern mainland, compounded the contrasts found between Northern and Southern colonies. The most significant and disturbing social variations was the adoption of distinctive labor systems, especially the use of large-scale African slavery used by most Southern colonists. This distinctive labor system showed that Northern and Southern colonists looked at race in two distinctive ways. When the English colonists first settled New England, around the 1600s, they built their new world communities by subduing varied Native American nations. Despite social, cultural, and agricultural sharing and the adaptive resilience of many Indian groups, Europeans dominance steadily advanced, as the imperial conflicts of which Indians were sometimes able to take advantage declined. The English seized the Native Americans land leaving Native Americans with little. Remarks made by Miantonomo in 1642 show that the Native Americans were not pleased with th
Servants and slaves if both sexes were employed together. The visual distinction between slaves and servants was obvious in the quality of their clothes and food. Female servants rarely or never worked on the grounds, while female slaves would be out there working by the men. e English. “Brothers since the Englishmen have seized our country, they have cut down the grass with scythes, and the trees with axes. Their cows and horses eat up the grass, and their hogs spoil our bed of clams; and finally we shall all starve to death; therefore - stand not in your own light, I ask, but resolve to act like men.” Slaves were not treated with a sense of equality in any manor. If being a slave was not bad enough for a black person, they had to endure demeaning, embarrassing practices forced onto them by their owners. “I was one day sent to his dwelling house to fan him, when I came into the room where he was I was much affrighted at some things I saw, and the ore so as I had seen a black women slave as I came through the house, who was cooking the dinner, and the poor creature was cruelly loaded with various kinds of iron machine; she had one particularly on her head, which locked her mouth so fast that she could scarcely speak, and could not eat or drink.” When they got to America, they were not treated any better. In fact, they were probably treated worse. The governor would even interact with the Native Americans in this manor. He would even extend his niceness by having his tailor make suits of clothes for the Native Americans. “Chickabot came to the governor, and desired to buy some English clothes for himself. The governor told him, that English saga mores did not use truck; but he called his tailor and gave him order to make him a suit of clothes; whereupon he gave the governor two large skins of coat beaver, and, after her and his men had dined, they departed, and said he would corm again three days after for his suit.” On the ships, they were put down below in the ship with little food. They were forced into a small area with hundreds of other Blacks that were taken from Africa. Most of the slaves died while sailing across the ocean. The sailors on the ships did not show any respect for them and would rather throw food away than feed it to the slaves below. “One day the had taken a number of fis
