How were the American Colonies between 1600-1800 affected socially and culturally?

Question

I am taking a AP US History class next fall and I am looking to get a head start on one of the lessons. Unfortunately, I'm not sure where to start so hopefully I'll be able to get some help. Anyway, certain events would be quite helpful and please don't include slavery. My gratitude in advance.

Answer 1

America has been a place of immigrants and refuge. It is made of many religions cause more religions to mix. Christianity is a main influence in politics even though it was said that America would run under no religious influences. Also many cultures have mixed into the society such as Irish, French, and other European countries. America took some of the ideas from these people such as the Magna Carta, The Constitution, Declaration of Independence, slavery, and some war tactics, but they kind of added their own flare.

Hello Rex. Im from The philippines and weve been american colony. USA prepared our government so called commonwealth before we declared independence. USA has a big role in our politics life and language

Here are some effect of USA colonialism:

1. We also consider english as a mother tounge. Almost all Filipino do speak english regardless of social status.Were the best enlish speaker here in asia. Far better than indian were just out numbered.

Signage and products are written in english. Its the only country in soueast asia were everything is written in english

2. USA products are highly patronized.

3. Most people think like american. Schools are great example. We got same curriculum in the US.

4.We dress like american

5. Top charts billboards and mtv are all american. We love american films And tv shows are americans. Though we have our own version of deal and no deal, idol and big brother.

I know that these traits will always be part of our culture so i wouldnt say that we imitate americans. We revised some of them and it part of globalization so we have to take it into our system. Im proud that most filipinos are flexible to adapt every nations culture. Cheers
