Document Summary
A lot of water availability with the new land in america. Good for farmers because they are close to their market so no shipping, and a lot of water. Watershed means that in theory, if you drop water at a certain point, one drop will go east and one will go west. The british were trying to determine if the meetings of the colonists were their natural rights or controlled by the british. Great awakening- a certain pastor or minister who had a church decided they wanted to preach in front of more people. Too many layers of bureaucracy between the people and god. Population growth, starting to exhaust soil, so colonists need to break away from england and expand. Spread of economic inequality in the north. Mostly because more and more colonists are in debt. Producers front products to stores causing the debt. British manufacturers dump goods for really cheap so colonial artisans can"t compete.
