Assignment 7: Primary Source Document Reflection

Benjamin Wadsworth, A Well-Ordered Family (Boston, 1712).

- What did you learn about life in the colonies from reading this document?

I learned from reading this document that marriage and religion are very important. Religion is the rules of life. Men ruled over there women in a kind way. Women did not work they were housewives.

- What surprised you the most about what you read? It surprised me to read this document because I feel like if everyone would follow this document, life would be kind and happy forever. But not everyone could live like this.Not every woman or man could be so kind to there lover.

- Compare and contrast the differences between American life today and life for Americans during the colonial era.

The difference is that woman and man are equals now. Women can work as hard as men and they couldn't back then. Men are not the rulers of the relationship today. Not every couple gets married like they did then. I loved reading this document because it made me feel like I was from then, when religion had a big toll on your every day life and love. It felt like religion was carried through love and your soul.

Ass.1 should I stay or should I go

What motivates immigrants to come to the United States (today)?

Immigrants come to the United States for many different reasons. Mexico is right on the border and Mexicans try crossing the border for many different reasons. I have heard of Mexicans smuggling drugs across the border on there own bare feet. Mexicans as well as Asians try to smuggle females into the Unites States for prostitution. They sell the females all around to prostitute there bodies and use children as slaves. Another big thing is Jamaicans have to have a green card to come to the United States. Many Jamaicans want to work in the states because there isn't allot of work in Jamaica as well as having there own rights in the united states. Most immigrants come the the united states for work or freedom. Though most come for freedom they lose by having to leave there loved ones behind. Sometimes all the family members cant come and they may never see them again.


Thousands of Europeans chose to move to the British colonies.. Some for economic reasons and some for freedoms. If you decided to immigrate somewhere, would you move for economic reasons or for freedom?


My first response to this question is I wouldn't want to leave the united states. I have been to Jamaica once in my life and that was the only time I have been out of the united states. I loved Jamaica it was like a fantasy but only for a while. It is only nice when your there for vacation. Jamaica is there own little island and they have there own rules. I think now would be a good reason to go to China because of the economy. The united states is so far in dept with China that if we went to war, I would be on China's side just so I wouldn't loose everything I had as well as my family.
