DBQ 2: Early Colonial Times
Subject:
DBQ 2 By the time of the 1700?s, immigrants and settlers were beginning to start societies in the New World. The English colonies were all being formed by different leaders for different purposes such as William Penn settling the Pennsylvania area with the Quakers or Lord Baltimore in Maryland. During the era of early colonial settlement, it was a time of colonist settling in areas because of diverse motives. Although the New England area and Chesapeake Bay region were settled mostly by white Englishmen, they had become two distinct societies by the 18th century. These areas both evolved separately because of their difference in demographics, economic indifferences, and religious devotion.

Subject:

6–9 Farm Journal Reports on the Care and Feeding of Slaves, 1836, Chapter 6: Life in the Cotton Kingdom
Subject:
Chapter 6: Life in the Cotton Kingdom 6?9 Farm Journal Reports on the Care and Feeding of Slaves, 1836 Slaves were seen as valuable property and their care and maintenance was of no less importance to slave owners than the management of their livestock or crops. Unfortunately, the slaves were frequently seen as having little more value than livestock, and were certainly treated as property, to be managed for best profitability. Articles in farm journals on how best to manage and exploit slaves were numerous, even in such relatively prestigious tomes as The Farmer?s Register. Particularly noteworthy articles on slave management were reproduced in several different issues, such as this letter to The Southern Agri- culturist which was reprinted in The Farmer?s Register.
