ReplyDeleteThe colonies wanted to be free of the British, because they were not protecting their natural rights. John Locke first thought up these rights as rights to every human because they are human, and that there rights include the right to life, liberty, and property. He also didn't agree with divine right of the monarchy, and believed that if the government didn't protect peoples natural rights, than the people had the right to overthrow the government. Jean Rousseau believed that political and economic oppression was wrong. Other Enlightenment thinkers like Montesquieu, strongly criticized absolute monarchs and was also a voice for democracy. The Enlightenment influenced the ideas of a revolution.
yes that is true on so may levels i also like that you pointed out the enlightenment influences
Deleteeverything you stated was true with facts. you backed up your response with a lot of reasoning.
Delete2. Explain the connection between the ideas of Enlightenment and the protest movement in the colonies against British imperial policy.
ReplyDeleteThink of it this way. Prior to Enlightenment most church goers in the American colonies attended Anglican Churches who were lead by Pastors approved by the Church of England. In many of these churches the only way to reach the afterlife was to got to church and do as the church told you. Problem was, the church didn't let just anyone in. This thought was especially strong in the southern colonies up through Virginia. Pennsylvania had their own Quaker religion so were out of the Enlightenment loop in that regard.
Enlightenment brought Presbyterian and Methodist teaching to the masses. They talked less about going to church and being the person they said God wanted to be and more on finding spirituality in oneself. They also talked about the freedoms John Locke talked about in a manner that made people realize they were allowed the freedoms and natural rights the Anglicans sought to make their own.
So, part of the American revolution became a contest between the closemindedness of the Anglicans and the openmindedness of the Protestants.
that was a good response. half of what you stated was what I stated.
DeleteExplain the connection between the ideas of Enlightenment and the protest movement in the colonies against British imperial policy.
ReplyDeletePastors approved of churches of England could only become a pastor. Enlightenment brought Presbyterian and Methodist teaching to the masses. actually, they talked less about going to church and being the person that God wanted them to be. they talked more about the spirituality of themselves rather than this. More and likely, they talked about the freedoms that John Locke had protested about.
Part of the American revolution became a contest between the close-mindedness of the Anglicans and the open-mindedness of the Protestants. Many of these people wanted to reach the afterlife. In order to do so, they had to go to church everyday. Also, they had to do exactly what the church told them to do. This thought was especially strong in the southern colonies up through Virginia.
This is true. They did everything they can for freedom, rights, and religion.
Delete2.)Explain the connection between the ideas of Enlightenment and the protest movement in the colonies against British imperial policy.
ReplyDeleteThe Enlightenment could best be described as the rebirth or renewing of thinking and or understanding.This time period caused the colonists to take a better look at their government,they began seeing the British differently.They believed a government so far away shouldn't have the right to control their colonies ,especially if they were having to do ridiculous things such as pay taxes ,which they had never done before.
One of the most influential Enlightenment leaders had to be John Locke. John Locke believed in something called natural rights. This were rights giving to every individual from birth simply because they were human. These were rights that the government couldn't even take away. They consisted of life ,liberty, and property. This is a big reason why colonists wanted to break away from the British government,because the colonists were not having the control over their natural rights.
I agree with you. Your two paragraphs are a well though out explanation of the colonist movement and protest.
Delete2) Explain the connection between the ideas of Enlightenment and the protest movement in the colonies against British imperial policy.
ReplyDeleteThe Enlightenment launched a revolutionary era that made an impact on the culture and social status of French, England, and Germany. During this century, the movement had the millennium of the Middle Ages dedicated to religious beliefs and also most of the colonies wanted to fight for their freedom. The colonies wanted to flee from the British. The British were not establishing natural rights.
John Locke decided to get involved and purpose a plan where the people would be given to certain rights. Those rights included: life, liberty, and prosperity. He believed the people should have overthrown the government because he did not support the monarchy system.In reality, the colonists wanted to break free from their own country and set up their own rules of living,.
2) Explain the connection between the ideas of Enlightenment and the protest movement in the colonies against British imperial policy.
ReplyDeleteThe Enlightenment was a time of revolutionary ideas in politics, economics and religion around the world . The colonists wanted to get away from British. They stared to see British true colors. They wanted their natural rights protected, but British was doing a poor job at that. One of the efficacious thinkers was John Locke. Locke stated "Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself."
John purpose for getting involved was to help people get their natural rights. The people felt that they should come up with their rules instead of monarchy. Those rights was Liberty, Life and Prosperity. John's importance's on natural rights provide a reason for the American Revolution and later for the basic principles of the US Constitution. Both regions believed in reasoning and dwelling reason and science.

1. Compare and contrast the American and the British views regarding the results of the French and Indian War.
The French and Indian War was a fight between French and British people who were fighting over territory and wealth. The Great Britain views regarding who started the war were very different from the American. Great Britain claimed that the French provoked war by building forts along the Ohio River Valley. In the beginning of the war Great Britain lost about 2,000 British and colonial troops. Until the French were abandoned by many of their Indian allies, that when the war started to favor the British.
The French in the French and Indian War stated good first three years of the war; the outnumbered French dominated the battlefield, soundly defeating the English in battles at Fort Oswego and Ticonderoga. Exhausted by years of battle and outnumbered and outgunned by the British, the French collapsed during the years 1758-59, concluding in a massive defeat at Quebec in 1759. The results of the war effectively ended French political and cultural influence in North America. England gained massive amounts of land and vastly strengthened its hold on the continent.
