Goverments of the Colonies., Georgia, CITATIONS:, The development of…

- - - - The Virginia Company was granted a charter to evangelize and exploit Virginias resources. However, it was also established to prevent Spanish expansion further into the North American Territories. Eventually with the rise of Protestantism this charter was revoked and Virginia became the first colony with a Royal Charter. However the damage was already done, many anti protestants and catholics had fled to Virginia. This in turn created a very conservative and very Catholic environment.
- - - - The middle colonies were very diverse; they were mainly settled by the Dutch. The middle colonies had almost every possible social arrangement within it. During the first half of the 19th century Delaware became very divided because of slavery. This was induced because of religious and economic problems. Many slaveowners freed their men during these years wile others refused. The number of slaves in Delaware had been reduced to about 1,800, while the number of the state’s free blacks had grown to some 20,000.
    - - James the duke of York gave Delaware to William Penn in 1682, who wanted it because he wanted for his own colony in Pennsylvania to have access to the ocean. The two colonies were joined and they shared the same legislative assembly during a long period of time. In 1701 Delaware was given the right to have its own legislative assembly. Even though Pennsylvania and Delaware still shared the same governor. In 1776 Delaware was declared separate from Pennsylvania.
    - - Delaware had a great economy. Delaware was one of the first parts of the United States to have a water powered industry. There were various jobs available in Delaware. Some of them were ship building, iron works, trading, fishing, and lumber and timber. Farmers were a big part of the economy. Delaware grew many crops, most of its crops were wheat, barley, rye, these were cash crops. Delaware’s economy was also based on trade, they traded furs between Native Americans and europeans but soon got into a conflict and ended everything.
    - - Religion in Delaware was very different to the other colonies around the country.
        In Delaware there was no specific established religion unlike the other colonies, who had catholicism or other religions. It was one of the first colonies to have religious freedom. Religious diversity became a dominant part of religion in the colonies.
  - - - «William Penn is the father of representative government in Delaware. In 1682 Penn called on the freedmen of both colonies to elect their neighbors most noted for »Sobriety, Wisdom, and Integrity« to attend a joint General Assembly. The representatives of his colonies refused to unite into one. Each colony was granted the right to have its own separate elected legislature, while both areas continued to operate under the same governor
- - - - Spain and France
        
        Relationships with Spain and France were tough. Constant regional disputes and the results of major conflicts like the 7 Year War and the War For Spanish Succesion against Britain hurt relations. Both countries were Catholic while Britain was Protestant and sought to eliminate Catholicism. During the 18th century an avid rivalry would be born between these countries and Britain.
- - - - Delaware wasn't really affected by the triangular trade but once a lot of slaves were in Delaware there was a huge revolution and many slaves escaping by underground railroads and ships leading too Africa. Delaware in a period of time lost money because of the lack of labor and slaves.
    - - Everybody in England was a fan of sugar, there was a very high demand for sugar and the prices changed drastically. There was such a high demand that sugar canes were running out. Connecticut merchants kept this trade in motion. They collected “country produce” from outlying farmers at their stores in exchange for imported goods which weren't only sugar and they made a lot of money from this demand.
    - - Tobacco proved to be good as gold for Virginians. Wealth from its sale and easy navigation of the colony’s rivers encouraged global trade. Virginians traded with the Dutch for decades but mainly with England and Scotland.
  - - - How did the Triangular Trade affect England and Africa?
        
        Triangle trade allowed for Europe's economic development in many ways. Trade with Africa and the Americas allowed for increased access to raw goods and the growth of the shipping industry, which in turn led to additional jobs for Europeans.
        
        Imported goods cost money. The system of Triangular Trade allowed for goods to be traded for other goods, rather than being bought or sold. The triangular trade routes were pivotal to the practise of Mercantilism by England by which colonies had one main purpose: to enrich the parent country (England).
        
        The slave trade brought vast wealth to British ports and merchants but conditions were horrific. Slaves were moved on the 'Middle Passage' of the triangular trade route. Many did not survive.
        
        The size of the Atlantic slave trade dramatically transformed African societies.
        The slave trade brought about a negative impact on African societies and led to the long-term impoverishment of West Africa. This intensified effects that were already present amongst its rulers, kinships, kingdoms and in society.

- - - - economic
        
        The economy in Colonial Georgia was mainly based off of plantations which grew indigo, rice, and sugar. Slavery did not come until James Oglethorpe took away the ban on slavery due to constant complaints from the settlers. Cotton picking did not come until later when the cotton gin was invented in 1793. Georgia also traded and exported all of the things they grew. Like mentioned in the agriculture section, most of Georgia's money came from cash crops such as indigo, rice, and sugar. In the Southern Colonies several things were grown. The most popular crop was tobacco. The Jamestown colonists had grown tobacco originally, and tobacco farms sprung up all over Virginia and North Carolina. Georgia grew mostly indigo, rice, and sugar. Georgia made most of its money off of these three cash crops.
- - - - social
        
        The colonists in Colonial Georgia had a good relationship with the Native Americans. This started when James Oglethorpe negotiated with the Yamacraw tribe for land so he could establish a series of defensive forts. Oglethorpe also negotiated a second time with the tribe to see if they would be willing to move their village up river so he could have more land for forts. Oglethorpe became very good friends with Chief Tomochichi, who was the chief of the Yamacraw tribe. The colonists and Natives got along quite well.

        Georgia welcomed large groups of Puritans, Lutherans, and Quakers. The only religious group that was not allowed in Georgia was Catholics. The Church of England was the established church in Colonial Georgia. During the Colonial time period, European Protestants were encouraged to immigrate and Lutherans and Moravians did this too. Georgia served as a land of safety for criminals who were in dept. Georgia was also a land where persecuted Christians and Jews could find refuge and start over in a new land. To this day, Georgia remains a state that cherishes its religious freedom.
