Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper discussing how the character and configuration of the American East Coast might have evolved differently had Puritans come ashore at Jamestown and John Smith had settled the Northeast. The ultimate difference visible today could well be that we would exist as two nations rather than one, for it is likely that early industrial growth may have been centered in the South rather than in the North. As it was, Southern settlers had difficulty establishing lasting settlements because of their arrogance with the Indians and the Indians' eventual bloody impatience with them. Northern settlements experienced far greater continuity because of their greater ability to coexist with the native groups residing there before the settlers arrived, allowing those settlements to progress more linearly.

England according to the New World land "holdings" assigned by the monarchy to those sponsoring the expeditions intended to colonize the New World for Great Britain. Ships did not
merely set off from England in a westerly direction and stop whenever they hit land. Bradford (1620) and Winthrop (1630) fully intended to make shore at New England; Smith
(1607) and his Virginia Company of London set out for the tidewater section of what we know today as the state of Virginia, though the entire territory was called Virginia
in the early 17th century, named in honor of the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth (Johnson FAQ_history). A common misperception of the Mayflower expedition is
that the ship was loaded with Puritans. That is in error; the ship was populated with Separatists, whose primary motivation for leaving England was to completely separate from the
Church of England. Puritans, however, sought first to "purify" the church, working to change it from within. Puritans did not begin to arrive until after 1629. "In
