Colonial Period Early colonial settlements were similar in that each developed near the coastline. EX) Jamestown (1607) Plymouth (1620) New England Colonies- the New England Colonies developed initially as religious outposts by various subjugated groups. Influenced by good harbors, abundant forests, rocky soil, and a short growing season. Geographic factors influenced the economy of New England by promoting the growth of trade and manufacturing. Developed villages with town-hall meetings. Had small farms and commercial fishing. American Indians were viewed by the Puritans as needing to be saved from their sinful ways since they were not Christians. In the early years of English colonization, Puritans did not openly embrace the American Indians but relied on them for help in the difficult early years for survival. As the English population increased, so did the conflict with natives of the area. A series of bloody wars (King Philip’s War and the Pequot Wars) during the colonial period between the Puritans and the American Indians of New England Southern Colonies- The climate (long growing season), rich soil, and deep rivers of the southeastern U.S. had a major impact on the history of the U.S. before 1860 because the region provided agricultural products that were processed in the North and in Europe. Developed plantations (large farms that used slave labor) because of fertile land and a long growing season. Relations with American Indians in the Southern Colonies began somewhat as a peaceful coexistence. As more English colonists began to arrive and encroach further into native lands, the relationship became more violent. Mid Atlantic (Middle Colonies)- were created from the previous Dutch New Netherland colony and had good harbors and river systems that shaped their development. The Hudson and Delaware Rivers provided highways to the interior of North America. Furs acquired from American Indians through trade for European goods were transported toward the coast along swift rivers. Later, the region’s farmers were able to use the rivers to ship wheat and other agricultural goods to markets in other colonies and Europe. The rivers also provided colonists access to manufactured goods imported from European markets. Harbors in cities such as Philadelphia and New York City allowed the Mid-Atlantic Colonies to grow into major commercial hubs for all of England’s American colonies. Ship building was common in the mid Atlantic colonies. The natives (American Indians) who resided there were typically relied upon for trade with the English and not the target of war, as was often the case in the other English colonial regions. Pennsylvania, in particular, treated the American Indians with more respect as evidenced by William Penn’s insistence on compensating the natives for their lan

From the tenth century to the mid-eleventh century, Morocco was ruled by a Berber empire called the Almoravid Dynasty. Then, it was ruled by the Almohad Berber Dynasty until the middle of the twelfth century. Both empires influenced the culture and built many buildings and structures that still exist today. From the thirteenth century to the mid-seventeenth century, the Merinid Dynasty controlled Morocco, followed by the Saadian Dynasty. From 1666 to the present, Morocco has been ruled by the Alawite Dynasty. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Morocco became a protectorate of France and Spain. This means France and Spain protected and controlled Morocco. The French protectorate created modern buildings and industries and developed communications and agriculture. In 1956, Morocco became independent. The Kingdom of Morocco Today The historical difficulties in Morocco are seen in its desert fortresses and heavily protected palace walls. The use of bright colors is common everywhere in Morocco, with mud buildings and large archways. Morocco has kept its traditions and ancient architecture, some dating back to 110 BCE. It has become an important center of trade and commerce.
