History

zaharov [31]2 years ago

The Middle colonies had rich soil and a good climate for growing crops. As a result, they were able to produce more food than they could consume. As a result they were able to export wheat and other grains to Europe. The middle colonies became known as "the breadbasket colonies". Farmers would ship their goods to the large port cities of New York and Philadelphia. Many farmers lived along the Hudson and Delaware Rivers, or other large waterways, which made shipments possible.

Farmers in Pennsylvania developed a wagon called the Conestoga, which was pulled by up to eight horses and was used to haul food to market areas.


The farmers in the south were divided into two groups: There were owners of large farms and plantation, who owned hundreds of acres of land. There were also small farmers, who had small farms often not even owning the land they worked. Tobacco, rice and indigo were the main crops grown in the southern colonies . All of these were cash crops, sold for money. The crops were usually exported from the colony. The production of these corps required large numbers of workers. As a result, the plantations in the south relied on slaves to do much of the work on their farms.





The land in New England was poor and difficult to farm. The farmers in New England had to first clear stones from their fields before they could begin to farm. Those stones can be seen today. The poor soil made farming difficult. The growing season was short; there was only enough time to plant one crop such as corn. Most farmers could do no more than what is called substance farming. That meant that farmers could produce only enough for them to eat and live on. Initially, farmhouses were one large room in which the family would cook, live, and sleep. As time went on, slowly, these houses were slowly expanded.

How does Tecumseh’s speech illustrate differences between Indian and American views of land as private property?
aliya0001 [1]

Towards the end of the 1780s Tecumseh, together with his brother Elskwatawa or Tenskwatawa, who was called "the prophet", created an alliance of the native peoples against the expansion of the American colonists in the territories of the great lakes, north of the Midwest and the Ohio River Valley. The alliance suffered some changes over time, but was formed by several important Indian peoples.

In September 1809, William Henry Harrison, governor of the newly formed Indiana Territory, negotiated the Fort Wayne Treaty in which a delegation of Indians yielded 3 million acres (12,000 km²) of Native American territory to the government of the United States. U.S. The negotiations of the treaty were questionable since they did not have the support of the then US President James Madison, and involved what some historians have compared with a bribe, consisting of the offer of large subsidies to the tribes and chiefs involved, and the previous distribution, among the indigenous participants, of copious amounts of liquor before the negotiations to "dispose the temperaments" to them.

Tecumseh's opposition to the landmark Fort Wayne Treaty marked the emergence of the Shawnee warrior as an outstanding leader and earned him the respect of several tribes. Although Tecumseh and his people, the Shawnees had no claim to the land sold, the indigenous leader was alarmed by the massive sale, since many of the followers who accompanied him in his capital Prophetstown ("Town of the Prophet"), belonged to the tribes Piankeshaw, Kikapú and Wea, which were habitual moradores of the tramposamente negotiated land. As an argument, Tecumseh revived an idea exposed in previous years by the Shawnee leader, Blue Jacket, and by the Mohawk leader, Joseph Brant, according to which Indian land was common property of all tribes, and no fraction of it could be sold. without the consent of all, or only by decision of a few.
