January 17, Block 4
Colonial 1700s
Unit 1.5
Religion in the Colonies:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Puritans and Separatists  sought to reform or separate from the Church of
England. Goal: Form a “City on a Hill” for the rest of the world to aspire to.
Antinomianism – “under the gospel dispensation of grace the moral law is of no
use or obligation because faith alone is necessary to salvation“. Challenged the
strict political control that religious leaders imposed in Massachusetts. (Battle
between Church and State – Should Church directly impose views from political
position?)
Quakers – Society of Friends  Immigrated to Delaware and Pennsylvania. Came
to be associated with the values of honesty, integrity, and tolerance. Beliefs  No
oaths, complete equality, complete pacifism, regular public meetings (worship).
Maryland Act of Toleration – Founded by Lord Baltimore, a Catholic, Maryland was
quickly overrun with protestants who threatened the power of the Catholic
minority. So…
Why was religion not as divisive an issue in the Southern states?
Great Awakening: Religious Revivalism of the 1730s and 40s. Why? Themes?
(Valued Emotion over Intellect, spirituality over doctrine)
Enforcement of Mercantilism
• Navigation Acts
– Starting in the mid1600s, Britain
passed these laws
that said the British
Colonies could only
trade with Britain.
– All trade products
must pass through
Britain on their way
to the colonies.
• Salutary Neglect
– Navigation Acts were not
enforced.
•
What do you do when a law is not enforced?
Like speed limits.
– Most colonial traders
basically followed the rules,
but became more
independent.
– Side effect – more
shipbuilding and use of
secondary ports.
– What happened when the
Crown starting enforcing the
laws after years of salutary
neglect?
Slavery
• In the beginning, all of the colonies had slavery.
• What happened after Bacon’s Rebellion?
–
Tidewater elite get Indentured Servants  freed servants get land in West  Backcountry yeoman
fight with Native Americans  When govt. doesn’t side with them, they rebel (unsuccessfully)
• Why would it die out in the Northern colonies, but continue
to exist in the Southern colonies?
• How are the Northern colonies not blameless when it comes
to the growth of slavery?
Slave Culture
• Slave society in south tied in with white society
– Often converted, sometimes educated
• Some developed their own cultures
– Gullah – hybrid language
– Religion – mix Christianity and African folklore
• Wide range of how treated. (Biggest factor?)
• Stono Rebellion 1739 showed not all good
– Negro Act of 1740 – Punishments for mistreatment of slaves, 10-yr
moratorium on slave trade, legislative approval for manumission. For
slaves  limited education, assembly, and movement
•
Some slaves able to purchase their own manumission
Colonial Women
• Fewer women in Chesapeake colonies. What would that
mean for “power?”
• Patriarchal Society – No ownership of property, voting rights, testifying, or
inheritance
• Midwives helping with multiple childbirths (every other year
average)
• Lower life expectancy. Why?
• Notable women of period:
– Anne Hutchinson
– Phyllis Wheatley – African American poet
Another American Ideal Born
• Zenger Trial (1734) – John Peter Zenger printed anonymous
articles criticizing the gov’t in his paper. He was tried, but
found innocent as it was factually true. (Hamilton and Zenger
vs. William Cosby and the Man)
• The ideas of Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press are
taking hold in the colonies. (as well as due process when
accused of a crime)
