John Winthrop & American Expansion City Upon a Hill

What were the major causes and effects of various expansionary times in U.S. history - i.e., territorially, economically and/or politically? *documents: John Winthrop's City Upon A Hill ESSENTIAL QUESTION

Puritans were a Calvinist sect of the Church of England who wanted to eliminate all Catholic vestiges of the Anglican Church. They wanted to “purify’ the church and eliminate the Episcopal structure and teaching authority of the church. King James I was a high Anglican and worked to keep much of the Catholic tradition in the Church of England. Charles believed in the “Divine Right of Kings” and persecuted Protestant sects (along with Roman Catholics). Frustrated Puritans looked to move elsewhere.

Wealthy Puritans, such as John Winthrop, looked to settle on English plantations in subjugated Ireland. Instead, in 1629 they formed the Massachusetts Bay Company to fund the expedition and settlement of a Puritan colony in North America.

In Massachusetts, the Puritans hoped to create a society based on the teachings of the Bible that was in line with God’s Divine will for all humankind. The new society would serve as a model for England and all of Europe.

They considered the English Civil War to overthrow Charles ( ) to be proof that their Holy Society had worked and had inspired others to act.

R.E.A.F. FINGERPRINT After teachers identify subsequent effects that the primary source had on historical events, behaviors, or issues, FINGERPRINT those events to show students continuity and contrasts (along with cause and effect) throughout history. FINGERPRINT Also, look backwards to see what events and issues helped cause the primary source document students are studying. FINGERPRINT those events and show students how the events they had studied at an earlier time affected the issues they are currently studying.

What is A.R.T.I.S.T.? A.R.T.I.S.T. is a method of primary source analysis that allows students to process information in a written or visual source of a historic nature. An acronym: each letter stands for an important part of the process. © 2010 CICERO

Who can be an A.R.T.I.S.T.? A.R.T.I.S.T. can be used with Middle and High School students. After a brief introduction to the method, teachers can assign students to analyze a source either individually or in small groups. © 2010 CICERO
