1. In New England, each town was a community of people who knew each other well. In the Middle colonies, some towns grew to be large trade towns. In all the regions, there were port towns.
2. During town meetings, colonists elected town leaders and voted on laws for the town.
3. When I go to town, I can do some shopping. I can work in farms and sell the goods in the nearby port city. I can greet people because we know each other well.
1. Anna's diary describes a young girl's view of life in colonial Boston.
2. She went to school 6 days out of a week. She usually read Bible to her aunt or others.

Today, we went over the excise book we did two days ago. We planned to go to field trip to Philadelphia some day when Jerry is not sicked. We showed Jerry our photos from yesterday. Mr. Schick shared a little story about his daughter.
Cotton is from southern.
Shipbuilding is from New England.
Women couldn't vote until 1900s.

Went out for class
Today during class, we went out for class under such a freezing cold weather, but it was still fun. We saw four hawks flying above us. Their screaming was just so cool! Mr. Schick also took many pictures for us. This is the best class ever!
economy: the way goods, wealth, and services are created and used
export: to send goods to another region or country
frontier: a newly settled or lightly settled area just outside an area of older settlemments

economy of colonies
New England produces: lumber, animal hides, fish, whale oil, ships
Middle produces: breadbasket crops, wheat
South produces: indigo, tobacco, rice
The soil in the New England colonies was poor, so many colonists turned to fishing.
Some goods from the Middle colonies were shipped from the port city of Philadelphia.
On the large plantations in the South, most of the work was done by enslaved workers.
In the Southern colonies, an important port for shipping goods was Charleston.
Frontier women had to know how to hunt.
Two types of southern colonies economies: large plantations in the east where slaves are used
small farms in the west where slaves are not used
Triangular trade: goods go to Africa from colonies
slaves go to West Indies from Africa
slaves that left over go to colonies
Women had few rights.

Review day
Today, we went over the whole long powerpoint again during the class. Everything has been post in my previous blogs and is in the powerpoint, too, so I think I may save time not writing everything down on the blog today. By the end of class, Mr. Schick let us listen to the "Alexander Hamilton ", which is cool.

the 13 colonies con't
Massachusetts is the first New England colony, settled by Pilgrims, then Puritan
New Hampshire were established by people who left puritan life in Massachusetts.
Roger Williams, a minister, was forced to leave Massachusetts by the Puritan life. Anne Hutchinson was a Puritan who disagreed with their beliefs. She was put on a trial and found guilty so she had to leave. Both of them went to Rhode Island.
What Williams believe: The Church had too much power.
The government and church should be separated
All people should be free to practice their own beliefs.
Thomas Hooker also felt the Puritans has too much power. The settlers wrote a document called The Fundamental Order of Connecticut, which is the first written system of American Government.
New York: People from the Netherlands settled here.
Henry Hudson, paid by Dutch, claimed some along Hudson River.
The largest town on Manhattan Island was called New Amsterdam.
New Jersey: The English took control of New Netherlands to 2 parts: New York(New Amsterdam) and New Jersey.
Pennsylvania: William Penn led a religious group called the Quakers.
Penn beliefs: All people should be treated fairly.
No slavery
Natives should be treated with respect.
Delaware was originally settled by Sweden, then Dutch, then English.
Some southern Penn settlers wanted to set up their own colonies, which Quaker agreed.
Delaware became a colony in 1704

The 13 colonies
Many people left Massachusetts because they were unhappy with Puritan life.
People from Netherlands, England, and Sweden settled the Middle colonies.
Georgia was different from the other English colonies because it was the last colony that was settled to give a home to debtors.
Three areas of colonies: New England, Middle, and Southern.
Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson left Massachusetts and went to Rhode Island.
Middle settlers were different from New England settlers because they were not forced to leave by Puritan lives.
People in Rhode Island might say: We have beautiful landscape and weather. You can get rid of religious persecution, you can practice any religion you want here.
New England: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut
Middle: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware
The South: Virginia, Maryland, the Carolines, Georgia

Presentatiion cont
Today, all the groups finished their presentations. I think everybody did a good job. People who presented today are Lily, Christina, and Long. Basically, we all have the similar information. After presenting, Mr. Schick asked us a lot of personal questions about us. I like this part in which American teacher tried to know about international students, because most of time, we had no chance to share our experiences and feeling of being an international students here. This class is an excellent chance for that. And this part makes this pale history class a lot more interesting, too!

Presentation
Today, most of us presented our presentations to our class. Arthur represented our group and went first. I think he did a good job on it. Jerry's group went second; their presentation is also very nice. I learned a lot from them. Some other groups' presenter were absent so not all of us presented today.
I learned that Harvard University was established by Puritans which was the first college. Puritans have more strict rules over their religion and they excluded any other believes that didn't go along with theirs. They didn't cut off from the Church of England, which means that they were like the religious colonist who wanted to make America "the second Church of England". However, Pilgrims came seeking religious freedom without interfering other people. They totally cut off from the Church of England so they are also separatists.

Working on project
Today, we continued to work on our presentation of differences between Pilgrims and Puritans.
Here is what I found:
Here is what I found:
- Pilgrims - Separatists
They have the only desire to get off on their own and practice religion as they saw fit, without any outside interference, or interfering with the society they sought to separate from.
- Puritans - Non-Separating Congregationalists

Pilgrims and Puritans
Pilgrims settled in Plymouth.
The Pilgrims were a group who separated from the Church of English.
They sailed in America on September 1620 by Mayflower.
Mayflower Compact was the first governing document of Plymouth Colony.
They faced troubles: no food, cold climate, diseases, so half of them died .
Wampanoag, a Native American tribe helped them survived.
They taught them how to grow plants, hunt animals, and fishing.
In the fall of 1621, Pilgrims celebrated surviving one full years and held a three-day harvest festival, which now is called Thanksgiving.
Puritans came after Pilgrims.
They came seeking religious freedom. They want to make The Church of England more pure.
They set up the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and began to settle in and around Boston
Today, we are assigned in groups a project of comparison between Pilgrims and Puritans. With so many homework and tests from other classes, this weak is gonna be HORRIBLE.
