Puritanism influenced New England mostly socially and politically, although there were some economic effects of puritanism including a low spending on things deemed a luxury, but these effects were quite small compared to others. Politically, Puritanism influenced an entire generation of theocracy in the New England area, with elected officials of towns--if any--not having nearly as much power as the church. Also, Puritanism led to a broad movement of conversion through the use of fear tactics as seen by many preachers who placed focus on the anger of God with humanity. Socially, these preachers converted whole villages to Puritanism by making them fear God, and thus follow His example through hard work on the field. The Salem Witch Trials are another example of the social effects of Puritanism. Many innocent people were hung by the theocratic way of government seen in New England, as well as social pressures from the highly fearful public. Here's a more organized explanation.

Social:

Use of fear tactics for conversion.

  • Angry God.
  • Work hard and you may go to heaven. (no one knows if they're going to heaven or not, even if they work hard and are upstanding citizens)

Suppress Earthly desire (leechery, alcoholism, ill-intent)

  • Salem Witch Trials can be seen as an effect of this.

Hate for Catholicism

  • Catholics committed genocide on any Puritans, causing a massive immigration to America.

Political:

Theocratic government.

  • Church at the top. Few actual leaders other than church.

Economic:

No consumerism

  • Puritans felt no need for "fun," and placed focus on work, and if not that, reading the Bible and going to church.

Focus on agriculture.

  • Not entirely a cause, but somewhat.

The agricultural revolution
Mila [183]

1 through 4


1.) Under the open-field system, each manor or village had two or three large fields, usually several hundred acres each, which were divided into many narrow strips of land. The strips or selions were cultivated by individuals or peasant families, often called tenants or serfs.

2.) The Agricultural Revolution of the 18th century paved the way for the Industrial Revolution in Britain. New farming techniques and improved livestock breeding led to amplified food production. This allowed a spike in population and increased health. The new farming techniques also led to an enclosure movement.

3.) Common land is land owned collectively by a number of persons, or by one person, but over which other people have certain traditional rights, such as to allow their livestock to graze upon it, to collect wood, or to cut turf for fuel.

4.) It allowed every citizen of the village take cultivate there own food and everyone in the village earned their share by working the fields

What were the different approached taken by Hoover and FDR to have economic recovery?
meriva

Answer:

Franklin D. Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover adopted opposite approaches to the Great Depression. Herbert Hoover thought that America and its economy would naturally recover from the depression, so he refused to have the federal government intervene or become heavily involved. By contrast, Franklin D. Roosevelt believed the federal government needed to take an active role in resolving the depression, and under his New Deal, he dramatically expanded the federal government to increase employment and establish agencies help relieve some of the country's worst problems.
