Colonial America

/kloc-most of the people who came to the British colonies in North America at the beginning of the 0/7th century were British, others came from Holland, Sweden, Germany and France, and later immigrants from Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some people leave their homes to escape war, political oppression, religious persecution or the death penalty. Some servants leave for freedom. Black Africans who were sold into slavery came here with shackles and handcuffs.

1690 has a population of 250,000, and the population reached 2.5 million in less than 10.

Immigrants came to the United States for many reasons, and they eventually established 13 colonies with different styles. This difference is more obvious in the three colonial areas.

The first colonies were established along the Atlantic coast and rivers flowing to the sea. There are hills covered with trees in the northeast, and the soil is mostly stones left over from the melting of glaciers during the ice age. The use of water power is extremely convenient. Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island, New England, have developed economies dominated by timber manufacturing, fishing, shipbuilding and trade. The colonies in Central China include new york and Pennsylvania, where the climate is mild, the terrain is changeable, industry and agriculture are born because of traffic, and the society is more pluralistic and international. Take new york as an example, its members include Bohemians, Danes, Dutch, British, French, Germans, Irish, Italians, Norwegians, Poles, Puerto Ricans, Scots and Swedes. Southern colonies, including Virginia, Georgia and Carolina, have a long growing season and fertile soil, so their economic activities are mainly agriculture. Small farmers and wealthy aristocratic landlords sit on large farms and rely on African slaves to cultivate.

The relationship between immigrants and natives (Indians) is an unstable mixture of cooperation and conflict. Although there are trade or social exchanges in some places, generally speaking, once the new colonies expand, Indians have to be forced to move away, usually after the defeat.

The development of the colonies was not directly funded by Britain, but by private organizations. Except Georgia, all colonies were operated in the form of shareholder companies or king franchises. Some of them were strictly managed by company leaders, but all colonies finally developed a participatory management system according to British legal precedents and traditions.

At that time, Britain experienced many years of political chaos. 1688 to 1689, the glorious revolution reached its peak, and King James II of England was ousted. Since then, the monarch's power has been restricted and the people have gained more freedom. American colonies benefited from it. The colonial conference took this opportunity to pretend to be a local Council and passed a bill to limit the power of the royal governor and expand its own power.

In the following decades, there were repeated disputes between the colonial governor and the parliament, which made the colonial people aware of the deepening differences between the British mainland and the American colonies. The principles and precedents drawn from these disputes became the unwritten constitution of the colony.

First of all, as long as the colonies remain within the Commonwealth system and practice autonomy and self-care, there will be calls for independence.
