A side benefit to this idea was deterrence—giving other would-be offenders a good reason to stay on the straight and narrow. Colonial practice took the matter a step further, making use of shame and shaming. Punishments were almost always public, for the aim was to humiliate the wayward sheep and teach him a lesson so that he would repent and be eager to find his way back to the flock. Nothing made a colonial magistrate happier than public confessions of guilt and open expressions of remorse.]]> 2016-10-03 18:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/140759/sq9a6vg259qm/wish/127975349 The relastionship between the native americans and the pilgrims. 140759 https://padlet.com/140759/sq9a6vg259qm/wish/127975543 Without the help of the native america, the pilgrims might not have survived their first winter.

Africans were brought to America to work, mainly in agriculture. In Virginia, most slaves worked in tobacco fields. Men, women, and children worked from sunup to sundown, with only Sunday to rest. It was hard, backbreaking work.Enslaved House Servants Some enslaved Africans worked as cooks, laundresses, man servants, blacksmiths, coopers, or in other skilled jobs. These men and women were generally considered "better off" than field slaves, but they were still enslaved. What's more, they lived and worked every day under the constant watchful eyes of their masters, and had little time for themselves.Free Blacks The British American colonies had a small but important population of free men and women of African descent.  140759 https://padlet.com/140759/sq9a6vg259qm/wish/127977573 2016-10-03 18:23:33 UTC https://padlet.com/140759/sq9a6vg259qm/wish/127977573 140759 https://padlet.com/140759/sq9a6vg259qm/wish/127978183 The governor of Massachusetts was John Winthrop in the 1600's.

They were to be an example for the rest of the world in rightful living. Future governor JOHN WINTHROP stated their purpose quite clearly: "We shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us."

The Arbella was one of eleven ships carrying over a thousand Puritans to Massachusetts that year. It was the largest original venture ever attempted in the English New World. The passengers were determined to be a beacon for the rest of Europe, "A Modell of Christian Charity," in the words of the governor.

Farmers During the 18th century, most Americans lived and worked on small farms. They worked the farms with the labor of only their own families - father, mother and children - and perhaps one or two slaves or hired help. Middling In the 18th century, a new group, the "middling sort" or middle class, gained a larger role in society and government. These men and women worked in trades - blacksmiths, silver smiting, printing, and millinery, for example. They worked as professionals, such as lawyers and doctors, or merchants who owned stores. Gentry The gentry were the "upper crust" of colonial society. They were large landowners, very wealthy merchants, and financiers. They owned huge tracts of land and usually many slaves. Gentry men, or gentlemen, took it as their right and duty to govern others. They served as local magistrates, church vestrymen, and councilmen. Gentry ladies, or gentlewomen, were at the top of social class and colonial fashion.]]> 2016-10-04 18:50:17 UTC https://padlet.com/140759/sq9a6vg259qm/wish/128303936 people  109074 https://padlet.com/140759/sq9a6vg259qm/wish/128307680 By the time of early European colonization attempts, there were over 30,000 Native Americans in Massachusetts living amongst a variety of tribes belonging to the Algonquin language group.
