1. compare the values and beliefs of native americans in north america at the time of english-european settlement with that of the english-european values and belief.

2. describe some ways in which puritan new england values and beliefs have influenced american society and culture

1. The Native Americans in North America lived in groups called tribes, each tribe had their own culture and their way of surviving. Some of them were hunters others were farmers, they also spoke different languages and had their own religious beliefs, many tribes shared the same beliefs others did not.

The English-Europeans had a different society, they did not live in groups, they shared the same language - English - and shared the same beliefs - Christianity -. Different from Native Americans Europeans shared the same social codes - their society was divided by the concept of money and faith.

This is the most important difference between Native Americans and English-Europeans, Native Americans did not have the concept of money and profit. They only had the concept of trade and some of them did not even had a trade system since many lived in tribes.

2. American Puritanism was originated from the reform movement in the Church of England, many of the Puritans fled to America because of religious persecution, they questioned the Catholic rituals that the Church of England continued to practice.

Puritans influenced American culture and society because Puritanism is more than religion it is a philosophy of life and living values.

First, Puritanism influenced American individualism, Puritanism values self-reliance, privacy and mutual respect.

Puritanism also influenced American democracy because they believed that God created all men equally and that all men deserve natural rights, which also influenced the Declaration of Independence.

Puritanism also pushed America to Manifest Destiny by creating a sense of mission to spread social justice and liberty across the world, this belief was imported from the Bible.

the captain of a steam ship naturally chooses the shortest route to his destination. since a sailing ship is usually pushed by winds and currents, its captain must find a route where the wind will probably blow in the right direction. tacking, i.e. using contrary wind to pull (sic) the sails, was always possible but wasted time because of the zigzagging required, and this would significantly delay long voyages. the early european explorers were not only looking for new lands. they also had to discover the pattern of winds and currents that would carry them where they wanted to go. during the age of sail winds and currents determined trade routes and therefore influenced european imperialism and modern political geography. for an outline to the main wind systems see global wind patterns.

pilotage or cabotage, in one sense, is the art of sailing along the coast using known landmarks. navigation, in one sense, is the art of sailing long distances out of sight of land.[1] although the polynesians were able to sail the pacific (with great difficulty) and people regularly sailed north and south across the mediterranean, before the time of columbus nearly all sailing was coastal pilotage
