The Beginning of New Society
European settlers around the country were looking for a new place to settle and make businesses. They have no idea how prosperous this "New World" going to be. The rip of two different cultures was mostly based on religion differences. The Puritans, who want to get away from the Church of England, moved to Plymouth in the 1620. They believed the God would destroy England, so they fled to the New World. Then around 1600s, King James I was interested in North America as a possible location for English settlers. Many Protestants moved to the South. Through the years there have been many different colonies form in the United States, but the most important colonies were Northern and the Southern. By this time two different cultures had formed. Between the two colonies there held differences in economics, political, and social/cultural. Their way of lives, and their way of beliefs were not similar. In the South they are farmers. They grew different kind of crops. Columbus introduced corn to the European. Corn was their source for food, but when the Virginians tried to grow corn, they figured out that it was very difficult. So they tried to grow tobacco, and see what will happen.

Rulers expected to ruled and to be obey, and the subjects expected to be ruled and to be disciplined if they disobeyed. The social/cultural status of the South was very traditional. The gap between the poor and the rich did not really existed. Everyone has a chance to make his or her own business. Instead of deference, they have an egalitarian society. That is why the most military men are from the south. The society was a society of deference. There were public schools for children.
