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 – Should Church directly impose views from political position?)

• Quakers – Society of Friends Immigrated to Delaware and Pennsylvania. Came to be associated with the values of honesty, integrity, and tolerance. Beliefs No oaths, complete equality, complete pacifism, regular public meetings (worship).

• 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?

– Tidewater elite get Indentured Servants freed servants get land in West Backcountry yeoman fight with Native Americans When govt. doesn’t side with them, they rebel (unsuccessfully)

• 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

– Often converted, sometimes educated

• Some developed their own cultures– Gullah – hybrid language– Religion – mix Christianity and African folklore

• Wide range of how treated. (Biggest factor?)• Stono Rebellion 1739 showed not all good

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

• Some slaves able to purchase their own manumission

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

mean for “power?”• Patriarchal Society – No ownership of property, voting rights, testifying, or

inheritance

• 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 printed anonymous

articles criticizing the gov’t in his paper. He was tried, but found innocent as it was factually true. (Hamilton and Zenger vs. William Cosby and the Man)

• 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)
