= The English: A Perspective on American History = = = By: Mackenzie Parker and Ravyn Williams



The English is a western European group. Pre-1492 and now, they live on an island now called England, which is near France, Spain, and the Atlantic Ocean. Geographical features that would have limited this group’s ability to move include: the Atlantic Ocean. Pre-1492, this group probably interacted with its neighbors, especially the French, Irish,and the Spanish. Eventually, the English would shape American history in the following ways: by settling the first American colonies and then fighting the American settlements in the American Revolution.
 * Introduction:**

The English believed that one god formed the world from the darkness and from the formless and empty deep. English human beings were created " in god's image" and given the instructions to farm the land and care for all living things in the world. They believed God is merciful, just, and committed, but god will punish those who disobey god's laws--punishments can include death.
 * Religion (Worldview): Protestant Christian**
