European Countries English Colonists
1,183 words
The Success of England and Spain in the
Colonization of the New World The success in the
colonization of the New World (America) depended
of many factors such as the treatment of the
natives, the Church, methods of government, the
support of the colonists, the role of religion,
and also the condition of the country who wanted

thoughts and secrets. Every human being needs the

become so compacted they erupt. Unfortunately,
Puritan society does n...

leaders? Should we regard the society's stated
goals as accurate communications of motivation,
discard them as intentionally deceptive, or
dissect those statements as indications of deeper
desires that are too pa...

differences can be a result of cultural
diversities, different trends, or just different
