Noua Anglie, în engleză în original New England, este o regiune a Statelor Unite ale Americii care se găseşte în partea nord-estică a ţării constând din statele de astăzi Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island şi Connecticut. [6]
Grupul de englezi cunoscuţi în istoria Statelor Unite ca Pelegrinii, conform originalului [The] Pilgrims, care au ales calea exilului în Lumea Nouă pentru a scăpa de persecuţiile religioase din ţara-mamă, au fondat colonia Plymouth în 1620. La sfârşitul secolului al 18-lea, coloniile Noii Anglii au fost printre primele colonii britanice din America de Nord care au dorit independenţa faţă Coroana britanică, deşi ulterior au adoptat o poziţie diferită în Războilu din 1812 dintre Statele Unite şi Regatul Marii Britanii.
În secolele al al 18-lea şi al 19-lea, Noua Anglie a fost locul de naştere al literaturii precum şi al filozofiei americane, respectiv gazda începuturilor educaţiei din Statele Unite. Ulterior, a jucat un rol major în mişcarea de abolire a sclaviei, respectiv a devenit prima regiune a ţării care urma să fie transformată de Revoluţia industrială nord-americană. [7]

Contemporaneously, the Popham Colony was planted by the Virginia Company of Plymouth. Unlike the Jamestown Settlement, it was not initially successful, and was abandoned after one year, though would later be revived. The Virginia Company of Plymouth's charter included land extending as far as present-day northern Maine.[8] Captain John Smith, exploring the shores of the region in 1614, named the region "New England"[9] in his account of two voyages there, published as A Description of New England.
[modifică] Plymouth Council pentru New England
The name "New England" was officially sanctioned on November 3, 1620, when the charter of the Virginia Company of Plymouth was replaced by a royal charter for the Plymouth Council for New England, a joint stock company established to colonize and govern the region.[10] Shortly afterwards, in December 1620, a permanent settlement was established at present-day Plymouth, Massachusetts by the Pilgrims, English religious separatists arriving via Holland. The Massachusetts Bay Colony, which would come to dominate the area, was established in 1628 with its major city of Boston established in 1630.
Banished from Massachusetts, Roger Williams led a group south, and founded Providence, Rhode Island in 1636. On March 3 of the same year, the Connecticut Colony was granted a charter, and established its own government. At this time, Vermont was yet unsettled, and the territories of New Hampshire and Maine were governed by Massachusetts.
[modifică] Confederaţia Noua Anglie -- New England Confederation
The first coins struck in the Colonies, prompted by a shortage of change, were the New England coins produced by the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The first series was a simple design including "NE" on the obverse and the various denominations on the reverse. Other series included the "Willow," "Oak," and "Pine Tree." The "Pine Tree" coinage was the last type in the series, struck by coiner John Hull. Although the majority were dated 1652, it is generally acknowledged that production spanned about thirty years, despite the disapproval of King Charles II.[11]
[modifică] Dominionul Noii Anglii -- Dominion of New England
[modifică] Regiune distinctă a Statelor Unite
The colonies were now formally united as newly-formed states in a larger (but not yet federalist) union United States of America.
New England was also an early center of the industrial revolution. Towns like Lawrence and Lowell, Massachusetts became famed as centers of the textile industry.

The longest river is the Connecticut River, which flows from northeastern New Hampshire for 655 km (407 mi), emptying into the Long Island Sound. Lake Champlain, wedged between Vermont and New York, is the largest lake in the region, followed by Moosehead Lake (Maine), Lake Winnipesaukee (New Hampshire), Quabbin Reservoir (Massachusetts), and Candlewood Lake (Connecticut).
[modifică] Populaţie
In 2000, the total population of New England was 13,922,517, roughly twice its 1910 population of 6,552,681.[12] If New England were one state, its population would rank 5th in the nation, behind Florida. Its land area, at 62,808.96 sq mi (162,672.45 km²), would rank 21st, behind Washington and ahead of Georgia. The region's average population density is 221.66 inhabitants/sq mi (85.59/km²), although a great disparity exists between its northern and southern portions, as noted below. It is much greater than that of the United States as a whole (79.56/sq mi) or even just the contiguous 48 states (94.48/sq mi).
[modifică] Sudul Noii Anglii
Three quarters of New England's population and most of its major cities are concentrated in its three southernmost states: Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Their combined population density is 786.83/sq mi, compared to northern New England's 63.56/sq mi (2000 census). The most populous state is Massachusetts, and the most populous city is Massachusetts' political and cultural capital, Boston. Western Massachusetts and Northwestern Connecticut are less densely populated than the rest of Southern New England.
[modifică] Noua Anglie costală
The coastline is more urban than western New England, which is typically rural, even in urban states like Massachusetts. This characteristic of the region's population is due mainly to historical factors; the original colonists settled mostly on the coastline of Massachusetts Bay. The only New England state without access to the Atlantic Ocean, Vermont, is also the least populated. After nearly 400 years, the region still maintains, for the most part, its historical population layout.
New England's coast is dotted with urban centers, such as Portland, Portsmouth, Boston, New Bedford, Fall River, Newport, Providence, New Haven, Bridgeport, and Stamford as well as smaller cities, like Newburyport, Gloucester, Biddeford, Bath, Rockland, and New London.
[modifică] Noua Anglie urbană
Southern New England forms an integral part of the BosWash megalopolis, a conglomeration of urban centers that spans from Boston to Washington, D.C.. The region includes three of the four most densely populated states in the United States; only New Jersey has a higher population density than the states of Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
The Boston metropolitan area, which includes parts of southern New Hampshire, has a total population of approximately 4.4 million.[13] The most populous cities are as of 2000 Census(2006 estimates in parenthesis):[14]
- Boston, Massachusetts: 589,141[15] (590,763)
- Providence, Rhode Island: 173,618 (175,255)
- Worcester, Massachusetts: 172,648 (175,454)
- Springfield, Massachusetts: 152,082 (151,176)
- Bridgeport, Connecticut: 139,529 (137,912)
- Hartford, Connecticut: 124,558 (124,512)
- New Haven, Connecticut: 123,626 (124,001)
- Stamford, Connecticut: 117,083 (119,261)
- Waterbury, Connecticut: 107,271 (107,251)
- Manchester, New Hampshire: 107,006 (109,497)
- Lowell, Massachusetts: 105,167 (103,229)
- Cambridge, Massachusetts: 101,355 (101,365)
During the 20th century, urban expansion in regions surrounding New York City has become an important economic influence on neighboring Connecticut, parts of which belong to the New York Metropolitan Area. The US Census Bureau groups Fairfield, New Haven and Litchfield counties in western Connecticut together with New York City, and other parts of New York and New Jersey as a combined statistical area.[16]

[modifică] Noua Anglie şi gândirea politică
Henry David Thoreau, iconic New England writer and philosopher, made the case for civil disobedience and individualism, and has been adopted by the anarchist tradition. Benjamin Tucker, of Massachusetts, was a proponent of individualist anarchism. A modern example of this individualist spirit is the Free State Project in New Hampshire, and The Second Vermont Republic in Vermont.
Eight presidents of the United States have been born in New England, however only five are usually affiliated with the area. They are, in chronological order: John Adams (Massachusetts), John Quincy Adams (Massachusetts), Franklin Pierce (New Hampshire), Chester A. Arthur (born in Vermont, affiliated with New York), Calvin Coolidge (born in Vermont, affiliated with Massachusetts), John F. Kennedy (Massachusetts), George H. W. Bush (born in Massachusetts, affiliated with Texas) and George W. Bush (born in Connecticut, affiliated with Texas).
Ten of the Speakers of the United States House of Representatives have been elected from New England. They are, in chronological order: Theodore Sedgwick (5th Speaker, Massachusetts), Joseph Bradley Varnum (7th Speaker, Massachuetts), Robert Charles Winthrop (22nd Speaker, Massachusetts), Nathaniel Prentice Banks (25th Speaker, Massachusetts), James G. Blaine (31st Speaker, Maine), Thomas Brackett Reed (36th and 38th, Maine), Frederick Gillett (42nd, Massachusetts), Joseph William Martin, Jr. (49th and 51st, Massachusetts), John McCormack (53rd, Massachusetts) and Tip O'Neill (55th, Massachusetts).

New England contains some of the oldest and most renowned institutions of higher learning in the United States. The first such institution, subsequently named Harvard College, was founded at Cambridge, Massachusetts, to train preachers, in 1636. Yale University was founded in New Haven, Connecticut in 1701, and awarded the nation's first graduate (Ph.D.) degree in 1861. Brown University, the first college in the nation to accept students of all religious affiliations and third-oldest institution of higher learning, was founded in Providence, Rhode Island in 1764. Dartmouth College was founded five years later in Hanover, New Hampshire with the mission of educating the local American Indian population as well as English youth.
In addition to four out of eight Ivy League schools, New England also contains the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), four of the original seven sisters are in New England, the bulk of institutions identified as the Little Ivies, and is the home to the Five Colleges consortium in western Massachusetts.
