Hello I have a Thesis and draft outline to complete. My chosen topic is '"Gender Dynamic". All Primary sources must be used and secondary sources are NOT allowed. The book is called "The American Yawp

Robert Horne’s wanted to entice English settlers to join the new colony of Carolina. According

to Horne, natural bounty, economic opportunity, and religious liberty awaited anyone willing to

make the journey. Horne wanted to recruit settlers of every social class, from those “of Genteel

blood” to those who would have to sign a contract of indentured servitude.

First, There is full and free Liberty of Conscience gra nted to all, so that no man is to be molested

or called in question for matters of Religious Concern; but every one to be obedient to the Civil

Government, worshipping God after their own way.

Secondly, There is freedom from Custom, for all Wine, Silk, Rai sins, Currans, Oil, Olives, and

Almonds, that shall be raised in the Province for 7. years, after 4 Ton of any of those

commodities shall be imported in one Bottom.

Thirdly, Every Free - man and Free - woman that transport themselves and Servants by the 25 of

March next, being 1667. shall have for Himself, Wife, Children, and Men - servants, for each 100

Acres of Land for him and his Heirs for ever, and for every Woman - servant and Slave 50 Acres,

paying at most 1/2 d. per acre, per annum, in lieu of all demands, t o the Lords Proprietors:

Provided always, That every Man be armed with a good musket full bore, 10lbs Powder, and

20lbs of Bullet, and six Months Provision for all, to serve them whilst they raise Provision in that

Country.

Fourthly, Every Man - Servant at t he expiration of their time, is to have of the Country a 100

Acres of Land to him and his heirs for ever, paying only 1/2 d. per Acre, per annum, and the

Women 50. Acres of Land on the same conditions; their Masters also are to allow them two Suits

of Appar el and Tools such as he is best able to work with, according to the Custom of the

Country.

Fifthly, They are to have a Governor and Council appointed from among themselves, to see the

Laws of the Assembly put in due execution; but the Governor is to rule b ut 3 years, and then

learn to obey; also he hath no power to lay any Tax, or make or abrogate any Law, without the

Consent of the Colony in their Assembly.

Sixthly, They are to choose annually from among themselves, a certain Number of Men,

according to th eir divisions, which constitute the General Assembly with the Governor and his

Council, and have the sole power of Making Laws, and Laying Taxes for the common good

when need shall require.

These are the chief and Fundamental privileges, but the Right Hono rable Lords Proprietors have

promised (and it is their Interest so to do) to be ready to grant what other Privileges may be

found advantageous for the good, of the Colony. Is there therefore any younger Brother who is born of Genteel blood, and whose Spiri t is

elevated above the common sort, and yet the hard usage of our Country hath not allowed suitable

fortune; he will not surely be afraid to leave his Native Soil to advance his Fortunes equal to his

Blood and Spirit, and so he will avoid those unlawful w ays too many of our young Gentlemen

take to maintain themselves according to their high education, having but small Estates; here,

with a few Servants and a small Stock a great Estate may be raised, although his Birth have not

entitled him to any of the La nd of his Ancestors, yet his Industry may supply him so, as to make

him the head of as famous a family.

Such as are here tormented with much care how to get worth to gain a Livelihood, or that with

their labor can hardly get a comfortable subsistence, shal l do well to go to this place, where any

man whatever, that is but willing to take moderate pains, may be assured of a most comfortable

subsistence, and be in a way to raise his fortunes far beyond what he could ever hope for in

England. Let no man be trou bled at the thoughts of being a Servant for 4 or 5 year, for I can

assure you, that many men give money with their children to serve 7 years, to take more pains

and fare nothing so well as the Servants in this Plantation will do. Then it is to be considere d,

that so soon as he is out of his time, he hath Land, and Tools, and Clothes given him, and is in a

way of advancement. Therefore all Artificers, as Carpenters, Wheelrights, Joiners, Coopers,

Bricklayers, Smiths, or diligent Husbandmen and Laborers, that are willing to advance their

fortunes, and live in a most pleasant healthful and fruitful Country, where Artificers are of high

esteem, and used with all Civility and Courtesy imaginable…

If any Maid or single Woman have a desire to go over, they will thi nk themselves in the Golden

Age, when Men paid a Dowry for their Wives; for if they be but Civil, and under 50 years of

Age, some honest Man or other, will purchase them for their Wives.

Those that desire further advice, or Servants that would be entertain ed, let them repair to Mr.

Matthew Wilkinson, Ironmonger, at the Sign of the Three Feathers, in Bishops gate Street, where

they may be informed when the Ships will be ready, and what they must carry with them.
