Kent Green Party: CELEBRATING WIND FARM OPENING

Open Question: Please help with essay on the 13 American colonies?
“Before 1763, economic issues, rather than religious positions, determined the development of American colonies. Explore the validity of this statement by discussing three of the following choices I chose Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.
heres my essay
Before 1763, economic issues, rather than religious positions, determined the development of American Colonies” The statement is proven to be true through the American colonies of Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Economic issues contributed to the development of the thirteen American colonies. Though some of the American colonies grew prosperous from trade, the thirteen colonies face economic problems such as mercantilism, and tight control over the land.
During the 1600s the British sought to control colonies in the Americas. Finding colonies would help the English with trade and finance. Maryland, which was established in 1632, and Virginia which was established in 1607 contributed to the British imposing ideals of mercantilism on the colonies. Like most colonies Maryland and Virginia’s economy was centered around farming and the trade of tobacco. In Maryland tobacco prices collapsed so a mixed economy developed a mixed farming economy which is the use of a single farm for multiple uses. This would later on lead to the need for indentured servants and later on the enslavement of Africans. As the southern and eastern parts of the province continued tobacco trading the northern part of Maryland became the center of wheat production. Virginia held a high exportation of tobacco especially in Jamestown.
Virginia also had the two competing companies, which were the Plymouth Company and the London Company. Once Britain realized how prosperous the American colonies were getting from trade they decided to follow the ideals of mercantilism. Mercantilism is an economic theory where the colony would export raw materials to the mother country that would then turn the raw materials into manufactured goods that are then sold to the colonies. From 1650 and on, England imposed a series of laws of trade and navigation known as the Navigation. The purpose of the Navigation acts was to limit colonial trade to the British only. If the colonies wanted to ship to other nations, all goods had to first be shipped to England, so the British could handle them and collect revenue from taxation. The American colonists and many other colonists who give their materials to the mother country first became upset because they were not getting the exact profits that they would have if they did not have to share the trade. Though mercantilism contributed to ideals of a revolution, the colonies had developed a more balanced and favorable trade.
Pennsylvania was an American colony that was established in 1681. The colony not only prospered from trade but also gained lands from the Natives. The Native Lenape in Delaware agreed to sell a portion of land between the junction of the Delaware River and the Lehigh River. Even though American colonists had gained these lands, it contributed to the fact that the British could tighten control over large lands for trade.
During the 1600s the English began to find new colonies in the Americas to finance their trade. As the colonies began to become more prosperous from trading the British began to follow the ideals of mercantilism. The American colonists were not in favor of mercantilism but it contributed to a more balanced trade. Also as the colonies began to gain new lands from the natives, the British tightened control of the lands so they could use it to their own advantage such as trade.

That’s over 124 BILLION dollars in pork.
I’m especially fond of the 75 million to pay for salaries in the FBI. Were their projections so bad that they are already out of money, or is this evidence of Obama re-instating the failed Clinton policy of treating the Global War on Terror as a police activity?
How about another 650 billion to allow people to buy TV converters for the switch to digital. I never spent my expired coupons- how many other people ordered them and didn’t spend them? How much money has fallen through the cracks on this already?
400 million to prevent STD’s. I have one comment- zip up your fly- it’ll save us 400 million dollars.
Lastly 2 BILLION DOLLARS to fund a clean coal plant that has already been deemed a failure.
3 Million for the First Lady’s closet re-do
