History of the Americas: Review Sheet on Jamestown and Plymouth!
Below are the topics which I expect you to discuss intelligently on your upcoming quiz (this Tuesday!)
1. Why and how was the Jamestown colony settled? What were the goals of its founders? How did these goals endanger the lives of Jamestown’s first colonists, and even, the existence of the colony itself?
Below are the topics which I expect you to discuss intelligently on your upcoming quiz (this Tuesday!)
1. Why and how was the Jamestown colony settled? What were the goals of its founders? How did these goals endanger the lives of Jamestown’s first colonists, and even, the existence of the colony itself?
2. After 1624, a massive change can be observed in the Virginia Colony. What was this change, and how did it manifest itself socially, politically and economically?
3. The switch from a labor reliance on Indentured Servants to African slaves signaled a massive social change in Virginia. Why did this switch occur, and what was its result?
4. Why was the Pilgrim experience in Plymouth Colony (1620) so radically different from that of those in Jamestown (1607)? What major differences created such dichotomous (use a dictionary) experiences?
5. As a mass exodus of Puritans from England resulted in a booming growth in Boston, and a land hunger drove farmers to Virginia, two very different societies developed in the British North American Colonies (hereafter referred to as BNAC). Please describe these societies, and the geo-economic features which helped define them!
