1619: The House of Burgesses was created in this year, which set the precedent of direct representation in government. This model was followed throughout all of the rest of the colonies subsequently. Throughout the 1760?s and 1770?s, the constant imposition of power by the king was so angering to the colonists because they were so used to having their say in government. ?Finally, after the ?Day of Fasting and Prayer,? the House was dissolved by Parliament, and with it, any hope of reconciliation with Britain.

Textbook 108-112 Peter Stuyvesant was the governor of New Netherland during 1664. Stuyvesant swore that he would defend the city during the quarrel with England but had few weapons, gunpowder and respect to do so. He had no respect because of his harsh rule and heavy taxes so therefore refused to help him. This held him back from keeping his word of defending the city.

Justin Chang APUSH Response #1 The ways the colonies were connected to each other was that all colonies were completely dominated by the British government and heavily Christian based. Colonies became stressed by laws such as the Naval Law and increasing taxes but were not able to participate in politics. Since the colonies were formed mainly to escape Catholicism, the colonies were very religious.
