Colonial 1700s

Unit 1.5

Religion in the Colonies:• Puritans and Separatists sought to reform or separate from the Church of

England. Goal: Form a “City on a Hill” for the rest of the world to aspire to.• Antinomianism – “under the gospel dispensation of grace the moral law is of

no use or obligation because faith alone is necessary to salvation“. Challenged the strict political control that religious leaders imposed in Massachusetts. (Battle between Church and State)

• Quakers – Society of Friends: Immigrated to Delaware and Pennsylvania. Came to be associated with the values of honesty, integrity, and tolerance.

• Maryland Act of Toleration – Founded by Lord Baltimore, a Catholic, Maryland was quickly overrun with protestants who threatened the power of the Catholic minority. So…

• Why was religion not as divisive an issue in the Southern states?• Great Awakening: Religious Revivalism of the 1730s and 40s. Why? Themes?

(Valued Emotion over Intellect, spirituality over doctrine)

Enforcement of Mercantilism

• Salutary Neglect – Navigation Acts were not

enforced.• What do you do when a law is not enforced?

Like speed limits.

– Most colonial traders basically followed the rules, but became more independent.

– Side effect – more shipbuilding and use of secondary ports.

– What happened when the Crown starting enforcing the laws after years of salutary neglect?

• Navigation Acts– Starting in the mid-

1600s, Britain passed these laws that said the British Colonies could only trade with Britain.

– All trade products must pass through Britain on their way to the colonies.

Slavery• In the beginning, all of the colonies had slavery.• What happened after Bacon’s Rebellion?• Why would it die out in the Northern colonies, but continue

to exist in the Southern colonies?• How are the Northern colonies not blameless when it comes

to the growth of slavery?

Slave Culture• Slave society in south tied in with white society• Some developed their own cultures

– Gullah – hybrid language– Religion – mix Christianity and African folklore

• Wide range of how treated• Stono Rebellion 1739 showed not all good

– Negro Act of 1740 – Punishments for mistreatment of slaves, 10-yr moratorium on slave trade, limited education, assembly, and movement for slaves

• Some slaves able to purchase their own manumission

Colonial Women• Fewer women in Chesapeake colonies. What would that

mean for “power?”• Patriarchal Society• Midwives helping with multiple childbirths (every other year

average)• Lower life expectancy. Why?• Notable women of period:

– Anne Hutchinson– Phyllis Wheatley – African American poet

Another American Ideal Born• Zenger Trial (1734) – John Peter Zenger had criticized the

gov’t in his paper. He was tried, but found innocent as it was factually true.

• The ideas of Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press are taking hold in the colonies. (as well as due process when accused of a crime)

Differences between Colonists and their cousins back in Britain

• More mobility (socially and economically)• Wealthier• More Literate• Healthier• Taller• More independent/free (gov’t)
