Amongst many southern states such as;Virginia, Maryland, North/South Carolina and Georgia, at that time there were many similarities and differences that led to greater disputes amongst these states. Such differences were how these states prospered for example as Virginia they prospered on tobacco while Maryland was open to Catholicism but had a death penalty for Jews. While Carolina flourished by developing close economic ties with the West Indies, due to the port of Charleston. Though these states have differences they also have many similarities that have had ties. Such as Virginia and Maryland both these states prospered on tobacco yet Virginia produced the tobacco and shipped it out to Maryland where it would be bought and sold to its people. Another example of this is Carolina before it was separated into two different states due to the fact that North Carolina consisted of a more aristocratic society that South Carolina where its people were known as squatters. In North Carolina it's people owned their own land while in South Carolina it's people did not own any land but payed others to farm on the land in addition to the crops that had to be given in. Though through these differences these states came together and created the United States.

Soon after the colonization of the Americas the natives of the land where forced to conform, to assimilate to the incoming Anglo-Saxon group. Many Native American tribes assimilated to the English to fit in society. The reason for this was because most Native American tribes only had three options to assimilate and follow the rest of English society by changing their look and their cultural beliefs. Another option was to stick to their own beliefs and culture and be driven off their land. Though those who have agreed to assimilate to English society have taken drastic measures far from just adapting the English language. Many women at that time would wear broad hats instead of a traditional head dress. The men would wear suits instead of moccasins. Though the ones that were affected the most were the children that would attend school they would be stripped of their culture and religion. Instead of being proud of their own culture these children are being taught that there culture and religion are inferior to those of the English. As the assimilated Native Americans ignore their own culture they begin to go to English society get togethers instead of their community powwows. To have a whole communities culture be redefine is truly a abhorring site.
