HERE ARE SOME EXTRA FACTS THAT WILL HELP WITH A COUPLE QUESTIONS (attached) and listed below

 

• -one reason England was delayed in conquering NAm was because it had problems in Ireland and Wales and had to first control those regions in the British Isles
• -1st Great Awakening was not only a revival in religion, but lead to universities being founded like Harvard and Yale to train new clergy. Of course, with such a large nation and people living in remote areas, not everyone was affected by this revival.
• -Slavery- slaves in the north tended to live in urban areas and often commingled with other free blacks and poor whites, where as in the south slave’s often outnumbered whites and living in far off places more susceptible to disease.
• Congregational Church- church of the Puritans in Massachusetts, to become a full member one had to have a rebirth experience proving their loyalty to God
• Philadelphia was a planned city meant to grow in size accordingly
• North Carolina was a very independent colony b/c both VA and SC were very wealthy, NC was left for squatters who resented those other two colonies
• Quebec Act- turned the Ohio Valley into a province of Quebec, upset settlers because they fought a war to move there and the Proclamation Line of 1763 prevent settlers from moving there in order to change England’s decision
• Treaty of Paris 1783- one extra provision US won was the right to fish in the Grand Banks off Newfoundland in Canada
• One major problem of the Am Revolution was the fact that it was a war for rights, yet women, blacks, and Native Americans all did not earn any extra rights
• Pickney’s Treaty allowed the US to navigate the Miss. R again (after Jay-Gordoqui Treaty prevented US navigation), this allowed US and western state to be more commercially (business) successful
• Jefferson believed in small federal government spending
• Nullification is the idea that a state can ignore a law by Congress and even secede (Ky/Va Resolution)

Ch 8 Due Mon P1,3,5 TueP4,6

Ch 7 Insights Due- make sure to fold paper in half and answer question on the RIGHT side of the paper.  Leave the left side blank.  Summary ?s mean to look at the designated picture (read the caption) then answer the question based on that picture.  OI  means "Outside Information" or read that designated subtitled section of the book and answer the questions.  (You are not meant to read the whole chapter.)

Test #1- for real this time.  The late summer work, answering the italicized questions, on the previous post needs to be turned in as well.  The test will be closed note and solo, so please study from your study guide and watch the videos that I posted on the previous post.

Many students have completed the summer assignment, which will be collected the first day of school.  All students however will take their first exam on Monday, 8/25, based on Chapters 2-6.  Attached is the summer assignment called "Chapter Insights" for Chapters 2-6.  Those who have not completed the summer assignment are not expected to complete the whole insights that other students completed over the course of weeks in just one weekend.  What I expect to be completed for those that need to catch up is...

1) Downlaod the PP or word docs

2) Use your "American Pageant" book and do not read the chapter!!!  Instead look at the insights and read the whole insight with answers.  At the same time you are looking at the answers, for the sections called ID and Summary, look at the picture in the book that correlates with the ID section.  Look at the summary question and analyze the picture.  Then check the summary answer and see if you were correct.  Then read through the OI section, questions and answers.

3)  Assignment (to turn in) Copy the italicized questions in each insights (put the CH# in front of the section of ?s) and answer the italicized questions.  I will corect these questions on Monday for full credit, plus they will be essential to help you get prepared for the test.

 

Also attached are a set of lecture notes that could provide extra information to help you prepare in this order (Discovery and settlement of New World, New England Colonies, Middle Colonies, 18th Century America).
