321326847Sherwood Washburnpioneers in primatology, helped support study of common ancestor of humans and chimps
321326848Subfields of biological anthropologypaleoanthropology, human biology, primatology, molecular anthropology-which living primate species share common ancestry; divergence times of different primate groups
321326849What is science?empirical and self-correcting, experimentation or observation, can be interpreted in different ways, explanations can change based on new evidence
321326850The scientific methodobservation+deduction, construct hypothesis, experimentation or analysis, hypothesis supported or refuted.
321326851research design and variablesIndependent Variable: impact on another variable. Dependent Variable: may change from independent variable. Control Variable: held constant to test the influence of independent variable on the control variable.
321326852theorya scientific hypothesis that has been supported by scientific research and evidence. Withstood repeated attempts at rejection
321326853fixity of speciesevery species was created in the past exactly as it appears today. No new species can be created or become extinct. Species diversity is just 'noise' in the system around an 'ideal type'. Part of religious doctrine from the Middle Ages
321326854great chain of beingall organisms exist in a hierarchical ladder with humans on the top rung.
321326855short geographical timescaleArchbishop Ussher. During Renaissance it was determined through geology, paleontology and astronomy that the universe is ever changing, not fixed.
321326856Archbishop UssherNatural theologian, determined world began in 4004 BC based on descendants of Adam and Eve.

321326868Charles Darwinevolution guy.
321326869Darwin's postulates and evidence for Natural SelectionWork with diversity in finches on the galapagos islands. Natural selection is based on the concept of 'selective breeding', in this case nature does the selecting of what genes are to be passed on.
321326870Alfred Russel Wallacesimilar idea to Darwin, there was pop. change overtime. Decided to publish his book On the Origin of Species.
321326871Thomas Henry HuxleyDarwin's bulldog.
321326872Blending Inheritancecame up with idea to try and explain mode of inheritance, was not logical. Idea that contribution are halved at each successive generation.
321326873Components of the cellnucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, DNA
321326874Types of cellsProkaryotes (all singled-cell organisms) and Eukaryotes (have a nucleus)
321326875DNADeoxyribonucleic Acid. Double helix structure composed of two complementary strands. Each strand is composed of a sequence of nucleotides with a sugar phosphate backbone. Two strands are connected by hydrogen bonds formed between complementary bases.
321326876DNA replicationFor growing and healing. Separated by enzyme called helicase. Unattached nucleotides are attached to the free ends of each strand. Two new strands are formed and replication is completed.
321326877Protein synthesisGene is transcribed into mRNA which is translated into protein.
321326878chromosomesdiscrete structures composed of DNA and protein. How DNA is organized in the cell. Chromosomes occur in pairs. Inherit one member of each pair from mother and father.
321326879karyotypeTotal chromosomal compliments of an individual, humans have 46.
321326880mitosisSimple cell division: creates 2 identical daughter cells.
321326881meiosiscell division in specialized cells in ovaries and testes. Involves two divisions and results in 4 daughter cells. Develop into gametes. Recombination (crossing-over).
321326882Human GenomeThe entire genetic make-up of an individual or species. About 3 billion nucleotide bases.
321326883Geneunit of heredity in a living organism.
321326884Exonscoding regions.
321326885Intronsnon-coding regions (edited out after transcription).
321326886Mitochondrial Genomepassed on from mother to both sexes. No introns or repetitive DNA. Does not recombine. Preserves a lot of information about ancestry because it preserves better than DNA.
321326887Molecular MethodsDNA can be extracted from hair, tissues, blood, feces, saliva, bone
321326888Gregor MendelPea plants. Dichotomous variation
321326889Mendel's postulates for inheritance1. Hereditary characteristics are controlled by particulate unit factors that exist in pairs in individual organisms. 2. When an individual has two different unit factors responsible for a characteristic, only one is expressed and said to be dominant to the other, which is said to be recessive. 3. During the formation of gametes, the paired unit factors separate, or segregate, randomly so that each sex cell receives one or the other with equal likelihood. 4. During gamete formation, segregating pairs of unit factors assort independently of each other.
321326890Linkagegenes on the same chromosome should segregate together and find themselves in the same sex cells.
321326891crossing overmakes possible the independent assortment of linked genes.
321326892the modern synthesisasvhilSDKn
321326893Mendelian traitscontrolled by alleles at only one genetic locus. In contrast to polygenic traits.
321326894ABO blood typeaggulation: what happens when you don't get the right blood type. Different blood types has to do with different anti-bodies in the blood.
321326895Mutationpoint mutation: when a single base in a gene is changed (sickle cell) insertion mutation: addition of one or more base pairs in the DNA deletion mutation: x-linked disorders-hemophilia -color blindness
321326896sickle cell anemiapoint mutation. helps fight malaria
321326897x-linked disordersrecessive alleles, passed on and carried by women, only men express them.
321326898polygenic traitsresult from the combined action of more than one gene with multiple alleles.
321326899pleiotropyone gene has mult. phenotypic effects. Ex: achondroplasia, shortened limbs, larger head.
321326900heritabilitymeasures the proportion of the phenotype that can be attributed to the genetic factors. variability caused by genes divided by (variability caused by genes + variability caused by environment).
321326901definition of evolutionchange over time.
321326902allele frequenciesa measure of the relative frequency of an allele at a particular genetic locus in a population.
321326903genotype frequenciesAA Aa aa
321326904phenotype frequencieswhen the trait is expressed.
321326905Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (and its assumptions)Null hypothesis: evolutionary forces are not at work on a population. p squared + 2pq+q squared
321326906Microevolution vs. macroevolutionmicro: small changes occurring within a species, such as a change in allele freq. macro: changes produced only after many generations
321326907gene flowexchange of genes between populations. migrating and then mating
321326908genetic driftchanges in allele frequencies (evolution), produced by chance. Small populations drift more rapidly than large populations, as chance events have more of an effect.
321326909Founder's effectBottleneck. reduction in variation. Rare alleles can become more common.
321326910Balancing selectionmaintain a genetic polymorphism with in a population.
321326911Directional selectionselecting for greater or lesser frequency of a given trait in a population
321326912Stabilizing selectionmaintains a phenotype by selecting against deviations from it.
321326913Direct fitnessthe number of offspring an individual produces and rears to reproductive age
321326914Inclusive fitnessan individual's total genetic contribution to the next generation, through one's own offspring and those of relatives.
321326915Sexual selection (and its two components)1. Struggle between males to gain access to mates. 2. Struggle by a female to choose the right mate.
321326916Human variationphenotypic and genotypic variability in living populations of modern Homo sapiens.
321326917Populationan interbreeding group of organisms that is identifiable with in a particular species.
321326918Anthropometrymeasurement of different aspects of the body
321326919Craniometryused to define and explain racial variability
321326920John Friedrich-BlumenbachRacial grouping: caucasian, mongolian, ethiopian, american, malayan.
321326921RaceScientific racism helped to justify many bad things.
321326922Franz BoasTransformed race from biological into sociological concept. !Physical variation did not necessarily coincide with racial categories.
321326923Cephalic indexmax width divided by max length
321326924Skin colornot a good indicator of race
321326925Epicanthic foldpresent in Asian and American populations.
321326926Study by Richard Lewontin and colleagues (1972)study of genetic variation. Findings: 85% of total variation in world was present with in local groups. No natural subdivision of humans into groups, as variation is continuous.
321326927Clinegeographical distribution of a trait or allele
321326928Polymorphism2 or more alleles in a population. role of genetic drift on frequency of O allele in Americas.
321326929Genetic drift and polymorphismsWhen Asian populations migrated to the Americas they brought a higher percentage of O blood type so O is more common in those populations.
321326930Gene flow and polymorphismsThere is gene flow between groups in America. gene flow from European and Af. Am. pops. was sex-biased. Can trace traits back to common ancestor to understand migration patterns and modern human origins.
321326931Duffy blood groupPresent in Af. Am. pops. (4%-26%). Largely absent in African populations.
321326932Phylogey of modern human populations...
321326933Natural selection and polymorphismssome traits advantages some not. But both are still present in a population.
321326934Lactose tolerancelactose tolerance is advantages in some pops. and not others. Ex. people who have cattle.
321326935Maternal-fetal incompatibility complex...
321326936Adaptationfunctional modification of structure, physiology, or behavior of an organism that increases fitness in a particular environment.
321326937Types of non-genetic adaptationsadjustments to the environment cultural, behavioral, acclimatization, adaptability
321326938Difference between genetic and non-genetic adaptationgenetic is over many generations and non-genetic is a single individual
321326939Acclimatizationphysiological responses to change in environment that occurs during an individual's lifetime
321326940types of environmental stressorssolar radiation, thermal stress, altitudinal stress, heat and UV stress,
321326941high altitude adaptationscultural: oxygen mask behavioral: walk slower acc: hyperventilation, increased blood flow, increased Hb adapt.: barrel chests, larger hearts, 20-30% larger lungs
321326942hypoxic ventilatory responseHVR high in lowlanders, low in Andeans, like acclimatized lowlanders. HVR is high in Tibetans, similar to lowlanders and 2 times that of Andeans
321326943climate adaptationshemoglobin concentration of number of red blood cells.
321326944Bergmann's rulebody mass greater in pops that live in colder climates as mass increases relative surface area decreases, meaning heat los is reduced. Lost heat=lost energy, so being big is advantageous in cold environments.
321326945Allen's rulecolder climates= shorter appendages warmer climates=longer appendages in warmer climates surface area can be increased while keeping mass constant by assuming a more linear form
321326946Skin color and solar radiationdermis: thick inner layer of collagen, hair follicles epidermis: thinner outer layer, 95% epithelial cells 5% pigment cells pops. with darker skin in tropical regions, lighter skin color as you move away from the equator
321326947Skin cancerhigher risk with lighter skin because more UV rays get past skin.
321326948Breakdown of folateUV radiation breaks down folate. Folate is involved in DNA synthesis, sperm production, red blood cell formation, neural development. Can cause developmental problems during pregnancy
321326949Vitamin D and ricketsLack of vitamin D can lead to rickets which can cause bow legged bones, deformation of pelvis with childbirth problems, major problems in early 20th century with urban children and darker skinned children in America.

158925733Jean Baptiste LamarkInhertitance of Acquired Characteristics-interaction between organisms and their environment, changes in trait are inherited (giraffe scenario)
158925734Thomas Malthusmost living things produce more offspring than can be expected to survive; competition for food and resources
158925735Darwin's Postulates1) There is the a "struggle for existence" b/c a population grows faster than its food supply 2) There is differential success to survive and reproduce 3) Variation in a population is present and is heritable
158925736Natural SelectionAKA: Differential Survival and Reproduction; when the environment changes, organisms that have characteristics that enable them to survive will do so and reproduce offspring with the same characteristics
158925737Darwin vs LamarkLamark: requires variation to arise when needed Darwin: variation already exists and nature selects those with advantageous characteristics according to their environment
158925738Old ideas of inheritenceblending of parents' traits, traits in blood, examples in breeding

159258131Homologiestraits which are similar in form in two species due to common ancestry
159258132AnalogiesSimilarities between organisms based only on common function with no regard to common evolutionary descent. Structures look/act alike because they exploit the same opportunities, like wings and flight.
159258133Punctuated EquilibriumThe idea that long periods of stasis are followed by short periods of rapid evolutionary change
159258134Bergman's Ruleorganisms in cold climates tend to have stockier bodies
159258135Allen's RuleStipulates that in warmer climates, the limbs of the body are longer relative to body size to dissipate body heat
159258136Law of SegregationMendel; "particles" were separated into gametes that joined together during recombination, generating continuing variation

884542980The Peace of Augsburg of 1555, ending the War of the Schmalkaldic League, also addressed the problem of ecclesiastical changes of ownership of lands with what is known as the Ecclesiastical Reservation.

884542981Who wrote "Institutes of the Christian Religion"?John Calvin
884542982How did John Calvin view the Last Supper and the Catholic idea of transubstantiation and Luther's idea of consubstantiation?Calvin rejected transubstantiation and disagreed with Luther's consubstantiation by saying the Last Supper part of church services is just a symbolic reenactment of Jesus' actions
884542983Calvinism varied greatly from Lutheranism on two concepts: 1) predestination & 2)relationship of religion and the state. Explain John Calvin's ideas of Predestination or his view on the relationship between Calvinism and the State.>Predestination: God predetermined a selected few to go to heaven, all others condemned to hell, so what you do on the planet to "live a good life" has no bearing on getting into heaven >Calvinists refused to recognize the subordination of church to the state; in fact, Calvinists insisted that the elect should Christianize the state; remake society in the image of a religious community
884542984John Calvin's idea of Predestination will later on in history be used to explain the "Protestant work ethic and the spirit of capitalism," the thesis of the historian Max Weber. Weber's thesis makes the connection of why so many hard-working, God-fearing people were on the boats from England that built the Puritan-run, economically successful Massachusetts Bay Colony in North America. Why is Weber able to make this connection made between Calvin's Predestination idea and the group that becomes known as the Puritans?Weber states that Calvin said that a person could feel in his own mind that he was among the Saved if, throughout all trials and temptations, he persisted in a saintly life. Thus the idea of predestination became a challenge to unrelenting effort, a sense of burning conviction, an unrelenting effort which would be manifested in hard-working businessmen
884542985What European city became the "Protestant Rome" because of John Calvin?Geneva, Switzerland
884542986Who brought Calvinism/Presbyterianism to Scotland?John Knox

497825252First half of the 17th century in America-Reigns of the Stuart Kings James I and his son, Charlies I -In Chesapeake, Virginia and Maryland are homes for thousands of indentured servants -In New England, the Puritans have established the MBC as their "New Jerusalem" where Puritan values are law --Colonies of Rhode Island and Connecticut have formed from them
497825253English Civil War-Caused by King Chales' desire to be an absolute ruler --Hated Parliament, didn't care about what they thought, and never let them meet -Puritans (called roundheads and have influence +like Parliament) fight the king and ultimately kill him (only king to be beheaded) --Roundheads vs cavaliers --Fear completely authority b/c does not bode well for minorities --Have money and influence, even though they don't have seats and can't vote
497825254Oliver Crowell-A Puritan who becomes Lord High Protector (ruler) over England -His reign from 1648-1660 will be the height of Puritan Power, meaning Puritan laws govern England. -Purtians believe they have won. --Were a role model for England, and overthrew the king --Ppl must like + want the Puritan lifestyle --Won, so God must be on their side -Oliver Cromwell dies a natural death. --However, many people do not want to be Puritan --Only disliked Charles I for trying to get rid of Parliament, and don't want commoners on the throne ---OC's son is killed --Charles I's son, Charles II is invited back to the throne
497825255Stuart Restoration-Return of a Stuart to the throne of England (Charles II) -Begins 2nd phase of colony building -Beginning of the end for the Purtians
497825256Charles II-Son of the executed king -Exactly like his father, and doesn't learn from his father's death. -Also wants to be an absolute ruler, and does not respect Parliament -Hates Puritans (killed his father) and any type of elected legislature (will seek to destroy legislature) -Rewards his supporters by giving them land (Restoration colonies) or giving them the opportunity to make money in trade (Navigation Acts) --Ppl who helped him when he was unemployed and ppl who orchestrated his return
497825257Restoration/Proprietary Colonies-NY, NJ, PA, Carolinas -Personal gifts, and created when Charles II was restored --Land was given away by the king to people to whom he owed money or were his friends --Owner called the Proprietor, and 3 out of the 4 proprietary colonies were formed as a result of the Stuart Restoration: Lord Baltimore - Maryland (not restoration colony) Duke of York (brother of Charles II called James)- New York (originally settled by the Dutch as New Netherlands) -Multi-ethnic, and didn't ask anyone to leave Berkely and Carteret - New Jersey Ashely and Cooper, et. al - Caronia (large, so later split) William Penn - Pennsylvania ------------------------------------- -All owners have one goal in common: To make money for themselves --Some colonies (MD and PA) have a second goal: religious toleration/religion -To make money, they can create any type of society that they desire, including a feudal society (however, could not violate English law) -Problem: It is hard to attract ppl to settle in a colony where they would work for someone else -Result: They tended to be very willing to accept anyone - just to get ppl to come - so will be some of first multi-ethnic colonies; religious relevant
497825258Navigation Acts-Gave his supporters a monopoly on trade w/ colonies by preventing the Dutch + others from trading w/ America --This allowed them to get rich --All foreign ships had to go through England --In addition, shipping, warehouse, industries competing w/ Britain (taxed goods) --Huge money makers -Based on the eco. theory of mercantilism -Stated that all 13 colonies had to sell their crops (tobacco, indigo, lumber, etc.) only to England and no other nations. --England promises to buy it all (ends all foreign traffic) -All foreign goods must first stop at a British port before going to America so the goods could be taxed. -No foreign ship could bring any product to America (so if Americans wanted French wine, it must be transferred to a British crew and then brought to America) American Response: The acts were not so bad for most people -B/c England promised to buy all that the 13 colonies made, there was no downside to farmers -British ship = colonial ship --It gave a huge boost to American shipbuilding industry (British crew = American crew_ -However, MBC/New England hated them b/c they relied on trade + international relations -Smuggling in foreign goods was often easy - The British did not try to stop all ships b/c the coastline was huge.
497825259Mercantilism-Eco. theory stating that colonies existed for the benefit of the mother country (among other things) -Countries wealth based on gold -Item for item trade in national trade so there is no net loss of gold. -Exports = imports -One way to stop imports is by having land all over the world to grow anything you need -Only trade w/ colonies
497825260Typical formation of colonial governments1. 3 branches -Executive - headed by a governor; in all cases, expect MBC, governor is appointed by king/prop. (owner of colony) -Legislative- Bicameral (2 houses) Upper House appointed by governor, lower house elected by ppl -Judicial - Court System 2. Voting is determined by ownership of (+white male), except in MBC when it is run by Puritans 3. Frequently the upper and lower houses did not get along -Virginia - Bacon's Rebellion -MD - Cath. upper/Protestant lower -PA - Qucker Upper/Protestant lower 4. Each colony had a written charter which spelled out ppl's rights and the powers of gov. 5. Lower house of the legislature had "power of purse" over gov. -Huge bargaining tool for pop. b/c they determined salaries
498366297Factors that bring about the end of the puritan power-Occurs after the reign of OC -Puritans fade form power w/in 50 years. -Believed God is dipsleased w/ them, and believe that someone/they have sinned 1. Stuart Restoration: When King Charles II is put back on the throne - he hates Puritans w/ a passion and wants to destroy their colony -Changes the structure of their gov. -1679 - Carves out New Hampshire. --NE smaller = has less power -1684 - Charter is take away due to Puritan refusal to obey the Navigation acts (they built a smuggling operation), and MBC disappears under the Dominion of New England -This means no more Puritan laws can be passed --King appoints gov. (not Puritan), gov. appoints UH (not Puritan) --Profound changes, and ends their ability to pass religious laws. Ex. Before, only saints holding office, qualifications for voting - now landownership, not church attendance, just price laws, and mandatory church attendance will be voted down.) --Dissenters will be protected by law 2. Merchants: Complain about just price laws, and pressure the gov. to end them so they can make more money. -Just price laws don't make up for risk (ex. ship sinking) -Especially applies to non-Puritans 3. Children of saints: Some don't want to go through the conversion experience; feel it is public humiliation, and if you are not a saint, you can't hold office and your children have even less rights -The children could not be baptized, and would not even be church members. -The "Halfway Covenant" was created to prevent people from complaining about the strict rules --Designed to stop the flow of ppl out of the church. Said you could basically be a partial church member- no t vote/hold office, but can baptize child. 4. Salem Witch Trials - 1692 -Considered the final nail in the coffin for the Puritans; now seem as a bit of a joke or terrible people. ------------------------------ -All these factors combine to help end the influence of the Puritans, and they will never get their charter back. -Massachusetts Bay will remain a royal colony. -The religion essentially disappears, but their influence will be felt for decades.
498366298Dominion of New England-One supercolony under one governor -Includes NE, Rhode Island, etc. -Governor is Sir Edmond Almose -Colonies lose autonomy
498366299Southern Colonies-Carolina and Georgia
498366300Carolina-Proprietary colony set up after the Stuart Reformation -Had several owners -John Locke: famous philosopher; wrote the Constitution Political system: so big that 2 gov. were formed; typical structures' voting by land owners. Economic: Large scale agriculture - rice, indigo, cotton. -Huge use of slaves as IS fell sick - plus slaves grew rice; boom or bust --> can't eat cotton Social: Money from rice, cotton - wealth in land + slaves -Religion not a reason for settlement; money was -Ppl spread out b/c of large farms - so less of a community feeling -From MD down, same pattern (ex. workers - headright, indentured slaves) -Further S, malaria + disease -Types of crops differed Because of large size and usual complaints tot he king, it will split the colony into N+S Carolina, and both will be royal.
498366301Georgia-Last of the 13 colonies, and the only one to begin as a royal colony -Named after King George, and led after James Oglethorpe (not proprietor, even though in charge) Had strange original goals: 1. Was intended to be a colony for debtors -In England, you went to prison if you owed money, and stayed in prison until it was paid back. (Usually someone had to bail you out) -Drain on England to imprison them 2. Wanted to ban slavery + alcohol - bad influence on the ppl, and they don't want them to be morally weak 3. Hoped to go into the silk + other trades -Part of mercantilism theory to not trade much, and China was the only one making silk -Never really took off 4. Was to be a "buffer colony" - Protect Carolina from the Spanish in Florida Reality: 1. Money was to be made in crops like indigo and cotton, so slaves will be needed -Few IS could survive malaria 2. Silk doesn't work, becomes like some other colonies. -Society similar to that of Carolina- large scale agriculture w/ large # of slaves. -Ppl spread out w/ less contact + social status was determined by land wealth; religion less important
509800922King Charles II-Son of Charles I (killed during Eng. C. War) -Despite being invited back to be king by Parliament, he hates any type of elected legislature - wants to be an absolute ruler (spent time in France) - he believes in the divine right of kings, so an elected body is useless in his mind (Parliament or colonial) --Doesn't let them meet - he ultimately disbands all colonial leg. -Hates Puritans in particular - father's death and willing tries to destroy them (them changed his life) --Capitalizes on general unpopularity of Puritans (strict) -When MBC refuses to obey the Nav. Acts, he punishes them by separating off New Hampshire --Smuggling easy b/c of huge coastline (Usually Caribbean --> America.) --Part of the witch trials b/c merchants caused loss of charter -Creating the Dominion of New England: a kind of "super colony" which combined MBC, NH, CI, RI into one large colony (taking away everyone's charters, worst for Puritans) (later NY + NJ added) --Governor: Sir Edmond Andros: "You shall have no rights left to you other than not to be sold as slaves" -When he dies in 1685, he has no children, so his brother James (Duke of York) becomes King James II --Leaves strife b/c no leg. + one governor --Seen as power grab by crown
509800923James II-Duke of York; becomes king after Charles II dies and does not leave an heir -James also believes in the Divine Right of kings -Also hates Parliament/colonial legislature -Worst of all, he converts to RC --He's head of church he does not belong to (Final straw) --Also has child w/ RC wife --Son brought up Cath. --Ppl don't want hereditary Cath. (one is okay b/c not that long) -James adds NJ +NY to the DoNE -Parliament fires him
509800924Glorious Revolution-"Bloodless Revolution" -By 1688, Parliament has had enough (Charles II converted to Cath.), so they fire the king. They ask his daughter Mary (Protestant) and her husband William to become king + queen (comanarchs) --James II is not killed - fled to France --Shows the supremacy of Parliament --Becomes the justification for the Am. Rev. --Rights of the ppl > Right of monarchy -Before accepting W + M, Parliament demanded they sign the BoR (conditions of becoming monarch) -Will and Mary sign the English Bill of Rights giving Parliament permanent power over the king and rights to ppl - ending forever ideas about absolute monarchy + divine right of kings in England --DoNE ends in America, but all colonies (including MBC) are now royal --That will mark the end of Puritan power (1688 - Before witch trials) (Puritans will get charter back) --Parliament in charge --BoR helps shape Am. Revolutino -Only monarch that survives b/c gives power (powers given to parliament) -Ant-Stuart Rebellions in AC
509800925Anti-Stuart Rebellion in AC-MD - Cath. pop. there, seen as potentially dangerous/disloyal -MBC - Happy b/c Stuart took away charter -NY - Leisler's Rebellion: Tried to get rid of pro-Stuart ships
509800926Heigh of Colonial Era-1688-1754 (after Glorious Revolution) -Three distinct regions develop in colonial America: --NE, Middle and S --All have distinct eco. due to geo. --All have similar gov. structures (esp. when royal) --All impacted by events in England --All benefit from the English practice of salutary neglect - meaning England pretty much left the 13 colonies alone ---England focused on their own world ----Not active kings (George I can't speak English, and was from Germany) (not activist kings) ---America not a huge drain on eco. ---End of salutory neglect leads to American revolution. -Americans benefited from some aspects of the Nav Acts (like crop sales), and those who didn't were able to smuggle (Nav. Acts weren't enforced well, so possible) --American coastline was huge, and it would cost a fortune to keep customs officials all over the place searching ships, so England din't bother tying to crack down --Allowed 13 colonies to make all their own laws- great self-governance --America sees their relationship like Ireland. Allies in time of war, part of empire, but not mother-child relation
509809165Influences on Colonial America-All colonies affected by 2 great influences of 18th century: Enlightenment and Great Awakening
509809166The Great Awakening-A religious revival (1740s) designed to get people more active in churches and prayer (Protestant movement) --Religious zealousness has dissipated in colonies (Ex. Puritan society) -Most famous minister: Jonathon Edwards - "Sinners in the hand of God" -George Whitefield - "Born again" --Not predestination --Inspires people to seek forgiveness. --Can be saved by prayer + talking to God -Argued against social divisions in society -Protestant ministers split into 2 camps --New lights: Revivalists - told ppl to doubt whether ministers were saved ---Question authority ---New religions + schools to train ministers (ex. Princeton, Columbia) --Old Lights: Clergy who dominated the Anglican, Presbyterian, and Congregational churches ---Yale and Harvard ---Thoughts New Lights were crazy Impact -Change in importance of churches (ex. New ones - Methodists, Baptists) -New colleges formed (Brown Princeton, etc.) -Increased # of NA + blacks become Christians due to focus on piety and oral traditions over intelligence --Not based on Bible reading (non-literate masses) --Based on personal piety. -Denomination - Acceptance of various Protestant Denominations --All Protestant religions seen as equal --Particularly on the frontier w/ travelling ministers --Didn't matter what form of Protestantism in general (nothing radically different) --Religion social activity - get together anyway
509809167The Enlightenmen-Almost opposite of GA - taught ppl to use science and reason to solve problems. Not religion + God -God does not play that role in ppl's lives -Ex. Ben Franklin (Franklin stove), Thomas Jefferson (we hold these truths to be self-evident) (architect of his home - Montecello) --Examples of enlightened thinkers - will become the basis for opposition to British authority during the AR - esp. John Locke - who writes about a social contract which exists btw ppl and gov., and if the gov. is bad, ppl can overthrow it (like England did during the Glorious Revolution) -Social contract - Ppl born w/ rights, and give them up to society for protection -Natural rights: life, liberty, property -Many Enlightenment figures are deist - believe that God created the universe, and them left it alone (wound up universe, and then let it go) --Very different from Puritan views -Opposite of sinners in the hand of God -------------------------------------------------- -Enlightenment in Colonial US -Enlightenment appealed to rich -Mostly seaboard cities - had most contact w/ Europe -Rural has more great awakening b/c prayers felt comforting, science didn't (enlightenment) -Strengthening ties btw colonies (read same things) -Ppl who considered themselves to be Christian (but who trusted reason if it conflicted w/ Bible) -Religious ideas were not inborn, but learned.
