 Chapter 4, Second Half

 English Bill of Rights – makes gov’t more representative  Enlightenment  Great Awakening  Size/population growth  Economic growth

 Size ◦ Indian depopulation, disease, dislocation, treaties  Population ◦ mostly high birthrate, also continued immigration  Econ. Growth ◦ huge labor force, diversification, trade  Cultural/intellectual ideas ◦ connection w/ Britain  Political ◦ aftermath of Glorious Rev., back to salutary neglect/mercantilism

 Ohio Valley ◦ VA and PA send settlers, make claims ◦ Leads to growing tension b/w Britain, France  Georgia ◦ Founded by James Oglethorpe ◦ Reason - haven for debtors ◦ Bonus reason – buffer zone b/w Florida & SC

 Who settled in Georgia? ◦ Mostly German, Swiss, Scottish immigrants ◦ debtors ◦ Jews ◦ Very diverse, inclusive

 Social structure – egalitarian or elitist? ◦ Land holdings limited ◦ Slavery banned ◦ Planned as a utopian experiment (no drinking, etc)  Why did the Georgia experiment fail? ◦ Not many debtors came ◦ Land limits, slavery restrictions discouraged settlement - Rice cult. more profitable w/ slavery -Restrictions eased

 How did colonial legislatures operate? ◦ After 1689, they led in drafting laws (not governor) ◦ Only part of colonial gov’ts subject to the people ◦ Exerted influence over governors by controlling revenues, salaries ◦ Most colonies were fairly self-governing up until 1750s Royal Gov Gov Council Colonial Assembly

 Who served in legislatures? ◦ Typically the wealthy (top 2%) ◦ Lesser gentry as Justices of the Peace  Why? ◦ Most colonies outside NE required large landholdings to run for office (1,000 acres to run, most farms acres) ◦ Only rich could afford to live on small legislator’s salary ◦ 80% of population in most colonies couldn’t hold office

 Who was eligible to vote? ◦ Most white males (about 60%):  7 colonies had small landowning requirements  Others – just had to own a home ◦ In England, only 1/3 could vote ◦ In Ireland, only 10% could vote ◦ No women ◦ No nonwhites (black, Indian)  Voter turnout: ◦ Usually low in rural places (long travel distances) ◦ More competitive in northern cities

 Ideals: ◦ Reason as basis of knowledge  Key figures in colonies: ◦ Ben Franklin (Philadelphia) ◦ Thomas Jefferson (rural VA)  Legacy of Enlightenment: ◦ Question est. political order ◦ Led to Am. Rev.

 What was it? Religious revival of 1730s thru 1770s (peak in 1740s) First mass social movement in American history  Why did it occur? The 1700s saw a decline in religious devotion  Outside of NE, 1 in 15 people was a member of a church  NE suffered a decline in church attendance (1:5 were members) Church sermons were seen by many as “cold” & impersonal and-american-independence.html and-american-independence.html

 Ideals: ◦ Human nature corrupt, but Salvation thru repentance ◦ Regular folks can get saved w/o a minister ◦ Highly emotional and personal ◦ Led to a rise in Arminianism (free will, not predestination)  Key figures: ◦ George Whitefield ◦ Jonathan Edwards – “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”  Spider above the fire ◦ Gilbert Tennent

 Religious effects: ◦ Split b/w Old Lights & New Lights ◦ Weakening of Anglican, Quaker, Pilgrim/Puritan churches (Congregationalists), Undermined the older clergy ◦ Rise of Baptists, Presbyterians – increased “competitiveness” of American churches ◦ Expanded roles for women in churches ◦ Non-whites into Christianity – esp. black pop. – reached out to Indians and slaves ◦ Revivals resulted in changed behaviors (decrease in card-playing, drunkenness, increase in church attendance, Bible study) ◦ Rejection of cold rationalism of Puritanism and Anglicanism and more reliance on the "heart" rather than the "head."

Colleges est. to break from “Old Light” influence (Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Rutgers, Dartmouth)  Strong democratic component– people had more choice and individualism in religion (a highly American trait)  Empowered ordinary people to go against est. authority – prelude to Am. Rev.
