Abstract
This paper discusses the American colonies in the year 1700. The question asked is, "Which region which you choose to settle in; the New England, the middle colonies, or the so-called Southern colonies? The decision is supported by examination of key characteristics of all three regions including economic, political, social structure and cultural aspects.

From the Paper
"According to a document published online on the Glasgow Electric Plant Board website, the settlements in New England known as the Northern Colonies were settled for religious purposes. The best-known group of religious refugees that settled in these colonies were Protestants, known as Puritans. Puritans were called Puritans because they wanted to purify the Church of England. Their social structure was based on relative equality, unlike the divided social structure of the Southern Colonies. However, religious freedom..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses how the southern colonies began and looks at who explored the southern part of the United States. The writer discusses the first colonies and once the colonies were started, who played an important role in their development. Further, the writer looks at how this affects the southern states today.

From the Paper
"The answers to these questions will give a better picture of what makes these states the way they are today. It is important to consider who started the exploration of the Southern United States as well as the colonization and development of the colonies making up the southern colonies. After Christopher Columbus came to the new world, Spain and France made ..."

Abstract
This paper describes the relationship of the American colonies to England prior to the Revolutionary War. The author attempts to do this from both the American perspective and that of the British, showing that the relationship between the colonies and England benefitted both sides. The author believes, however, that the main reason for the breakup that occurred between the American colonies and the Empire was the increase of taxes and contributions to the royal Reserve. Additionally, the author shows how the political thought of the time and various acts of legislation also contributed to the break-up.

From the Paper
"The Seven Years War represented a trying moment in the history of the relations between the American colonies and the British. Every colony, throughout the war was forced to offer assistance to the fighting troops; consequently, the US did back Britain in its quest for victory against the French but at the same time gave rise to a serious conflict between them. The British genera opinion was that the colonies should, in their turn contribute to the increase in revenue seeing that they benefited from the protection of the empire."

Abstract
This paper compares motivations behind the foundation of the Jamestown, Plymouth, and Massachusetts Bay colonies. It also contrasts secular Jamestown and religious colonies, which themselves are differentiated by attitudes toward the outer world. Plymouth was to be a refuge and Boston a "city on a hill." the paper also considers the American character as a fusion of these outlooks.

From the Paper
"It is natural and somewhat inevitable that most Americans today associate the initial English settlement of North America almost entirely with the Pilgrim Fathers and more broadly with New England and religious motivations. The Plymouth experience is commemorated every year in one of our chief national holidays and the two dates in American history prior to that everyone knows are... The Puritans are likewise well rooted in American myth, sometimes in a darker way we describe strict Wahhabi Muslim..."

Abstract
This paper looks at the various European countries that began exploring the southern colonies and their influence on these colonies. The paper explains the difference between the Southern colonies and New England.
The writer discusses the important role African Americans played in the history of the thirteen colonies and especially for plantation owners in the southern colonies.

From the Paper
"After Christopher Columbus came to the new world, Spain and France made several explorations. Spain sent explorers hoping to find gold and eventually colonized what is known today as Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. French fur traders traveled down the Mississippi River hunting different animals and eventually they claimed this area for themselves beginning colonies in Louisiana. It is important to recognize the part that Spain and France had in exploring these areas because these countries continue to affect these states today."

Abstract
This paper compares life in the Southern Colonies of the Chesapeake Bay and those in the "deep south" with that of the Colonies of New England and the Middle Colonies. The paper shows that the early American colonist faced different challenges and led a different lifestyle depending on where in the country they lived. These variances ranged from schooling, to terrain, to the crops they planted and the climate they endured. The paper covers differences in education, characteristics and farming methods.

From the Paper
"The first public schools were in New England and only boys were allowed to attend. The three R's were taught by every schoolteacher. They were "Reading, "Riting, and "Rithmetic (unknown, 1996)." There were "dame" schools that both girls and boys could attend and these were taught by a woman in her home. Here the children learned around a kitchen fire with pens they'd made from goose quills and ink made from boiled bark. In the South, a schoolmaster who lived with the family for several months every year, taught the plantation owner's children. Some children were sent to private schools in Europe. A grammar school at the College of William and Mary in Virginia was the South's first free school."

Abstract
Examines the differing lifestyles of settlers in Chesapeake colonies and New England colonies. The paper explains how the English settlers in Virginia did not get along with the Native Americans as well as settlers in New England. It also discusses the fact that religion was a motivating force in settling the New England area, as opposed to the Chesapeake region.

From the Paper
"Another very different part of life for New England was that they had a better relationship with the Indians than the Chesapeake settlers did. The Pokanokets even signed a treaty with the Pilgrims, "and during the colony's first difficult years the Pokanokets supplied the English with essential foodstuffs" (31). Further, when the Massachusetts Bay Company (MBC) was established in 1629, Congregationalist merchants "boldly decided to transfer the headquarters of the MBC [from England] to New England" (31). This allowed the settlers to handle their own affairs, "secular and religious, as they pleased". This dynamic was very different from the forced ties the Virginians had with the English crown."

Abstract
The writer points out that the purpose of this laboratory was to acquire fundamental knowledge and experience in microbiological procedures, specifically in growing bacterial colonies on a nutrient medium under controlled conditions. In this case, Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria were grown on nutrient agar, contamination was minimized by keeping the surroundings sterile, and all agar plates were incubated. The writer notes that the first part involved making five serial dilutions from a bacterial suspension in order to pinpoint colony numbers. The second experiment compared two methods of spreading bacteria across agar plates using streaks. The goal was to isolate single colonies. Lastly, the third portion of the laboratory involved replicating plates from a master plate in order to isolate strains of mutant bacteria onto different nutrient mediums and determine bacterial auxotrophy to these nutrients.

From the Paper
"In the streaking experiment, method B proved to be much more effective for isolating single colonies. The different streaking methods may have contributed to the morphological differences between the E. coli on the two plates. There were evident differences in the size and colour. Since method B was dominated by spaced out single colonies, the darker colour and larger size can be attributed to more nutrients being available to each colony, and more room (surface area) for growth. For the same reason, the more crowded groups of bacteria on the method A plate were a lighter colour and generally smaller. Aside from these two differences, the E. coli shared great resemblance, and based on morphology alone, should not be classified as different species. Nonetheless, the only way to determine whether or not two sets of visibly different bacteria are genetically different is to actually observe their DNA."

Abstract
This paper will discuss the plight of women in the New England colonies and how they lived in the religious ideals that were present in the societal systems of the period. The books that will be studied in tandem with this study will be: "American People: Creating a Nation and a Society" by G. Nash an J.R. Jeffrey and the book Good Wives Image and "Reality in the Lives of Women in Northern New England 1650 - 1750" by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. By analyzing these studies, we can understand how many women upheld the norms of Puritanical life in the early American colonies.
