American Colonies
675 Words - 3 Pages.... During the mid-1600's England was a Christian dominated nation; the colonies, however, were mainly Puritans. When Sir Edmond Andros took over a Puritan church in Boston for Anglican worship, the Puritans believed this was done to break their power and authority. The Puritan church in New England was almost entirely separated from the state, except that they taxed the residents for the church’s support.

Other slavery states followed in quick succession, and in February 1861 they formed a confederacy, the Confederate States of America.

However, Delaware had more economic ties with the North than with the South; by 1860 fewer than 2000 of the almost 22,000 blacks in the state were slaves, and most Delawareans opposed the extension of slavery. There was never any movement in Delaware to secede from the Union, and it remained loyal during the American Civil War (1861-1865) that followed ....

Courtly And Uncourtly Views Of
1786 Words - 7 Pages.... The latter is, in relation, a more modern view of women, one that sees them as irritating and stupid.
Courtly poetry, as I said, developed from the lyrics of the troubadours. Although there are many similarities, such as the woman’s high status, there are also many dissimilarities. One of the most obvious of these is these poets acceptance of the real world. It is difficult to find references to other women in the troubadours’ poetry let alone other relationships as one would find in the Middle English courtly lyric. An example of such a reference can be found in the refrain: “An handy hap ich habbe ihent! / Ichot from hevene it is me sent; / From alle wimmen ....

The American Dream
1858 Words - 7 Pages.... the country more and make it superior.
Both North and South wanted to better the country to have it achieve the
"American Dream". Unfortunately, each side had a different perspective on
how to approach it. Slavery was a major issue, the North against, the
South pro. The disagreement on slavery lead to difficulty in the issue of
