    Kathryn Burns Colonial Habits talks about the roles played by three convents, the Santa Clara, the Santa Catalina and the Carmelite Santa Teresa as they helped with the economic and social life of Cuzco from the mid-sixteenth century through to the nineteenth century.

The convents also reflected the different social hierarchies of the colonial…

    Colonies Contradictions

    In the direct aftermath of Blackbeard’s blockade, the colonists were quick to request aid. In a letter to the Board of Trade and Plantations in June of 1718 the colonies’ representative wrote that, “the unspeakable calamity this poor province suffers from pyrats obliges me to inform your lordships of it in order that his Majestie know it and be induced to afford us the assistance of a frigate or two to cruise hereabouts upon them for we are continually alarmed and our ships taken to the utter ruin of our trade.” This is just one of the many glaring contradictions present in the relationship between colonial merchants and the British government.

    Relationship Between Britain And The Colonies

    The relationship between Britain and its colonies in North America was not one of mutual respect. During the period that followed the French and Indian War, the colonies’ struggle to gain both power and respect from Britain grew, as the colonists pushed for representation in Parliament and as the debt from the war led Britain’s Parliament to raise taxes within the colonies and enact laws that regulated trade. As the various laws regulating trade and taxing the colonies were enacted, the colonists grew more and more resentful of the role Britain was playing in their government. The war against Spain and France cost Britain a lot of money, which led to taxation. Because parliament felt that the colonies had benefitted from the outcome of the war, they felt that it was fair to tax the colonists.…
