Assignment - Differences Between Settlements Essay
Description - All seven of these are multi-part questions, and you will be rewarded for providing detailed support for your arguments. Three paragraphs for each essay, please.
Answer four of the following:
1. What were the critical differences between the English settlements in Virginia and Massachusetts? In your response, consider religion, labor force and social issues.
2. Compare and contrast Bacon's Rebellion and King Phillip's War. Where/when did these conflicts occur and why are they important? How did they shape colonial identities? How were they different/similar?
3. From 1689 to 1763 several European nations vied for control of the North American continent. Why did England win the struggle, if indeed it did?
4. How did the actions of the British authorities help to unite the American colonists between 1763 and 1775? Be as specific as you can.
5. It was already obvious that the Articles of Confederation were terribly flawed by the time the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783. What was wrong with the Articles, why did it take until 1787 to develop a consensus that it was time to revise them, and what served as a catalyst for their revision? Discuss the issues that were raised by the catalyzing event.
6. It has been suggested by many Americans that the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of 1787 are politically and ideologically compatible. Discuss the degree to which the Constitution accomplishes the political and ideological goals that the Declaration sets out.
7. Of the four major colonies in 1700 - Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia and South Carolina -- which do you think was most like the United States in 1789, and which do you think was least like the United States in 1789? Consider the issues of religion, economics, and social structure in each colony in your response.
