I didn't do American History, so that's what I am doing now
So, some intresting highlights:
Of the 50 million Naive Americans only 4 million lived in what is now the U. S.
Virgina was a royal colony, gov. set up directly by British king, etablished in 1608.-economic enterprise
Massachusetts was a charter colony, business type, est.1620-by congregationalists-sold stock
Prior to that back in England King james the I was king of Scotland and england in 1603-1625-His rule involved with Guy Fakx conspiracy.. james grew up Catholicish, but ironically he liked the English church.
then James' son Charles I ruled til 1649 Much hated for lack of seeking parliment's advice- raises taxes, trys to change church.
And what do you know A civil war or a series of civil wars breaks out between royalists and Puritans from 1638-1650. - Many religious radicals flee to America during this time.
Then form 1649-1660 the Puritans ruled, then they asked charles' son the II to rule with the stipulation that the House of Commons would have soverign rights.- rules til 1685 when his brother james II comes to power. his rule ends in 1688 when protestant nobility sort of take over while he vacations( james II has two protestant daughters w/1st wife and two Catholic sons w/ 2nd wife) this take over creates a civil war til 1691.
After this war the monarches and the house of commons have a settled relationship.
there was just one tinsy winsy problem the radicals(Presbyterians, congrefationalists, baptists, quakers0 were discirminated against because of their dislike of the Stuart monarcy.- this eventually helps shape the population of the U. S. truely the first American population were the losers of the British civil wars- the non-conformists and dssenters. the state church of Connecticut, Mass., and NH was Congregationalist.
there's lots more but that's all I need to sort out for now , for tomorrow's quiz- I hope you are fasinated
