Colonial Period

[whskeyinthejar]

Umm... I know a bit about them colonials ^-^. In truth you can really take either side but it seems to me the more i think about it the more economic it seems. My history teacher last year drilled it into me about Jamestown and how what came to be the "Jamestown Gentlemen" left England because of primogeniture. The younger sons would be left with nothing, had really no chance of hacking it in England, and the New World sounded pretty dandy. Of course they went into the dealie thinking they really wouldnt have to work since theyd have docile slaves by the barrel. But low and behold they were wrong and ended up having to work their little pansy-tooshies off. There were those that came for "religious freedom" but the chances of a newfound prosperity in a New World was also quite enticing. So even God's Children were interested in the economic benefits. They had that whole belief that if they were prosperous they were the Chosen as well... if im not mistaken. So its dandyful and people have forever been money hungry. ^-^. Thats lauren's short, and most likely not very helpful since you probably know all this anyway, version of the settling of British North America and its connection to economics.

PS. I wasnt sure if i was supposed to get into when immigrants from other countries started to settle in british colonies. That would also support the economic viewpoint beaucoup. haha check it out - i actually put some of that french to use. Not very well I might add - but to use all the same.

anyhoot - hope you werent entirely bored to death.
