Colonial Times :: American America History

Colonial TimesThe colonial check was A time of much change, as is the modern period. Many population viewed things antithetic totallyy in the colonial period than they do today. The lot of the colonial period had much much traditional values than the people of today.The people of the colonial period thought of religion much more hard than I do. washstand Winthrop believed in a very stern God. John Winthrop writes, Now if the Lord shall please to hear us, and bring us in peace to the place we desire, then hath he ratified this Covenant and certain(p) our Commission, and will expect a strict performance of the Articles contained in it (43). He believes that God acts completely as he wishes, without any thought for man. Samuel Sewall use religion to help him when he needed help. In his diary, Samuell Sewall writes, ...My Son, the minister, came to me p.m. by betrothal and we pray one for another in the Old Chamber more especially respecting my Courtship(63). Sewall only acted re ligious when it was convenient for him. I in person believe in a God much more lovingness than that Winthrop believed in. I also believe that God is always around, not on the merelyton when I need him. Different people have many different religious beliefs.Throughout history, views of cheat have changed. Anne Bradstreet valued love as a strong romantic bond. In Bradstreets poem, To My Dear and Loving married man she writes, I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold, Or all the ritches that Earth doth hold(51). In this excerpt, Bradstreet is speaking to her Husband. John Winthrop viewed love as a religious bond between all men. He writes, go to sleep is the bond of perfection (39). Winthrop gives few references to romantic love. I personally call of love as something that people feel for each other fair(a) because they are both people. I believe there is an element of love between all people. Love is viewed differently by different people, but these beliefs have little to do with what time period these people lived in.It appears that as time goes by, people view uniting more romantically, and less economically. Samuell Sewell viewed marriage as a way to advance monetarily. In his diary he writes, I said twould cost L100. per annum she said twould cost but L40(63). This is vertical one example of him carefully calculating the costs of marriage.
