Logic of Analysis in World History (The Colonization Process)

Introduction

Patrick Manning in his book Navigating World History: Historians Create a Global Past's part 4, concentrates on the "logic of analysis" in the history of world. He starts with the concerns of scale, the requirement to deal with world historical problems at various scales. This is an issue that can be undervalued in certain other areas of historical learning, however not in the history of world. In this section, Patrick Manning points out that the historians of the world need to focus on unusually high standards of clearness and firmness as they pick their research schemas, as they put together their theories and as they bear out their ends. Not all thee historians of the world will agree to the steps he puts forward to uphold such rigor, however they add up as a precious first effort to honor the distinctive approaches of thinking and learned approaches essential to pen down exceptional world history. Thus, Navigating World History is an inclusive survey of the subject that it raises stridently the question, regarding the history of the world? The author is both overjoyed by the successes of this field, and unsure that they will be continued.

Thus, in this paper, we will discuss one of the most significant events of the history of Unites States and that is the Process of Colonization.

The first tentative steps towards the colonization of New England took place in 1620 when a party of some one hundred people on board the Mayflower made a landfall at Cape Cod and settled in Plymouth. Many of the group, known as the Pilgrim Fathers, had originally belonged to a separatist congregation at Scrooby near Gainsborough, which had emigrated to Leiden in the Netherlands. Its leader and first governor, William Bradford, became inspired by the idea of the New World as a secure haven for English separatists. Although the Pilgrims were by no means destitute, they emigrated on borrowed capital and had to toil in a difficult environment at agriculture, fishing and the fur trade to achieve economic independence. For many years the settlement remained small and weak. It none the less survived with modest growth and was eventually absorbed into Massachusetts in 1691. Plymouth was the first permanent northern outpost of England in ...
