A. Italy in the seventeenth century was very different from the unified country we know today. Cities like Florence, Venice, Genoa, Bologna, and Naples formed small individual states with distinct local customs, traditions, dialects, and even artistic traditions. Binding these different cities and their territories together was the Roman Catholic Church, centrally located in Rome at the Vatican and ruled both temporally and spiritually by the Pope. here's a link: 1) 2)

How were suspicious deaths investigated in 17th century London?
Q. Can anyone tell me how a suspicious death would have been investigated in 17th century London? I understand that before a trial could be held, there was an inquest before a coroner - but who would decide whether a death merited an inquest? How soon would the inquest be held, and what kind of evidence would it hear? Any sources where I can find detailed descriptions of a 17th century inquest would also be very welcome.

What are the parallels in 17th century America and 17th century England?
Q. I'm looking to find similarities in 17th century America and 17th century England. I've ruled out clothing because of the time lag between the two countries. Styles would have already changed by the time they reached America. The religious aspect is also hard to work with in that religion is being replaced with reason in England while people are settling in America to freely practice their religions. So anyone have any suggestions that might fit? And better yet, do you have any web pages on it? If you do I'll love you forever, lol. -Brandon

A. Opposing Views, American colonists vs. The British Once upon a time there was peace between the people of England and the settlers of the American colonies. But as time went on and England began to take advantage of the colonies this great peace left and turned into a bloody revolution which would change the world. This revolution resulted the end of the great English power and the birth of a new country America. Before the actual fighting really started the relationship between the colonists and Great Britain was stretched out to the breaking point as the Americans Representation was very important to the American colonists. The Americans felt that they needed to be represented when issues were brought up that . . . But is that… [cont.]

A. Everyday life in 17th century was very hard work. Hauling water, milking the cow, tending the chickens all before heading back to the house to make breakfast from scratch, hauling more water and setting it to boil to get the washing started in a big pot, washing those clothes, wringing them out by hand, hanging them to dry on the line. Prepare lunch and clean up the cabin. Cleaning the dirt floor as best as she could. Out to the yard to tend to the vegetable patch or out to join her jusband in the field for hours, back to the cabin to make dinner, and sew or darn clothes by candlelight. Sleep in a bed usually stuffed with dried cornstalks or straw.

A. People who went to the southern colonies were generally hoping to better themselves by acquiring a farm or plantation and growing a cash crop like tobacco. Since there was a shortage of female settlers, women were actively recruited, they were offered free passage and a dowry in return for making the trip (when they married, their husbands ahd to repay the company with 120 pounds of leaf tobacco). Sometimes people went out as indentured servants (bound to work for their masters and mistresses for a fixed number of years, they were virtual slaves while their term or servitude lasted). When people went out on to New England on the Mayflower and other ships, they were often escaping from religious persecution.

By Googling his name I was able to find tons of references to the area. Mostly you want to look at California and New Mexico history. While there were settlements in Arizonia and even some as far north as Colorado realistically San Francisco and Santa Fe were the northern boundries of Spanish exploration and colonization. Both of these cities were remote outposts. The territory taken by the US in the Mexican American war was sparsely populated at the time.
