1. Proclamation of 1763In order to reconcile with the Native Americans and to

stabilize the western frontier, the British issued a proclamation in the year 1763 that

prohibited the Americans from expanding into the western frontier. The proclamation

was supposed to prevent problems between the Native Americans and the colonists

when really it just caused the Americans to react with anger and defiance. The

colonists were angered by the denial of the benefits they sought after their hard work

during the French and Indian War.

2.

Characteristics of British colonies on the North American- The British colonies

were established by private joint stock companies, Jamestown was established in

1607 by the London Company, Development of the tobacco industry and African

slavery caused the economy to soar.

3. Africans brought as slaves to the British North American colonies-sold by

African slave dealers to European traders, who transported them to the colonies in

North and South America. There, the slaves were made to labor on coffee, cocoa,

cotton and sugar plantations, in gold and silver mines, in rice fields, the construction

industry, timber, and shipping or in houses to work as servants.

4. Discontent among soldiers in the Continental Army-Lack of pay,food and

clothing.

5. Areas where slavery was legally established-legal everywhere except Georgia

6. Navigation Acts-A series oflaws that restricted the use of foreignshipping for trade

between England and its colonies, Their goal was to force colonial development into

lines favorable to England, and stop direct colonial trade with the Netherlands, France

and other European countries. These Acts also formed the basis for British overseas

trade for nearly 200 years. On the whole, the Acts of Trade and Navigation were

obeyed, except for theMolasses Act of 1733,

7. Reasons the Dutch settled New Netherland-For financial reasons and to expand

their mercantile resources, secure naval supplies.

8. Treaty of alliance with new American nation-a defensive alliance between France

and the United States of America, formed in the midst of theAmerican Revolutionary

War,which promised military support in case of attack by British forces indefinitely

into the future.

9. Republican mother-the concept related to women's roles as mothers in the

emergingUnited Statesbefore, during, and after theAmerican Revolution.It centered

on the belief that children should be raised to uphold the ideals ofrepublicanism,

making them the ideal citizens of the new nation. Republican motherhood meant a

new and important role for women, especially regarding civic duty and education, but

it did not soon lead to the vote for women.

10.Differences between the Pilgrims and the Puritans-the Puritans had no intention

of breaking with the Anglican church. The Puritans were nonconformists as were the

Pilgrims, both of which refusing to accept an authority beyond that of the revealed

word. But where with the Pilgrims this had translated into something closer to an

egalitarian mode, the "Puritans considered religion a very complex, subtle, and highly

intellectual affair," and its leaders thus were highly trained scholars, whose education

tended to translate into positions that were often authoritarian.

12.Quebec Act- The plan was accepted by the French Canadians, but was however,

unpopular in the thirteen colonies. The Act established Roman Catholicism as the

official religion of Quebec, a government lacking a representative assembly, and an

extension of Quebecs boundary into the Ohio River Valley. The colonists were

deeply angered by this Act because of its direct attack on the colonies through the

removal of lands that they had claims to in the Ohio River Valley. In addition they

feared that Parliament would mimic what happened in Quebec in the colonies, with

the removal of the representative government and the instating of Catholicism.

13.

Olive Branch Petition- adopted by the Continental Congress in July 1775 in an

attempt to avoid a full-blown war withGreat Britain.The petition affirmed American

loyalty to Great Britain and entreated the king to prevent further conflict. The petition

was rejected.

14.Hatters Act-British law restricting colonial manufacture and export of hats in

direct competition with English hatmakers. Part of the mercantile system that

subordinated the colonies economically, the Hat Act forbade exportation of hats from

the colonies, limited apprenticeships, and, to preclude competition from cheap labor,

forbade the hiring of blacks in the trade.

15.Iron Act-one of the legislative measures introduced by the British Parliament,

seeking to restrict manufacturing activities in British colonies, particularly in North

America, and encourage manufacture to take place inGreat Britain.

16.Woolens Act-attempted to heightentaxation and increase control overcolonial trade

and production. It opened Britain'swool industry by limiting wool production

inIreland and forbidding the export of wool from theAmericancolonies.The Act

prohibited American colonists from exporting wool, woolyarn,or woolcloth to

markets outside the individual colony in which it was produced, and also restricted

the import ofwoolens andlinens created in other areas of theBritish Empire.

17.The Albany planThe British government called for representatives from several

colonies to convene in a Congress at Albany, New York in 1754 in order to

coordinate the colonial defense. Seven of the colonies decided on the Albany Plan of

Union. The Albany Plan of Union was developed by Benjamin Franklin allowed for a

neocolonial government and a system for recruiting troops and collecting taxes from

the various colonies. The colonies were too jealous, however, of their own taxation

powers and the plan never went into effect.

18.Factor in the formation of the New England Confederation-the solution of trade,

boundary, and religious disputes, but the principal impulsion was a concern over

defense against attacks by the French, the Dutch, or the Indians. Because of their

divergence from accepted Puritan precepts, settlements in what later became Rhode

Island and Maine were refused admission to the confederation.

19.John Dickinsons Letters fr om a Farmer in Pennsylvania-The colonies did not

directly oppose the Townshend Act at first, due to the fact that it did not affect them

directly, because it was a tax that was placed upon the imported goods, therefore paid

by the merchants. However, consequently leaders such as John Dickinson of

Pennsylvania, and Samuel Adams and James Otis of Massachusetts would argue for

the rights of the colonies in protest against the Acts. In hisLetters from a farmer in

Pennsylvania, Dickinson argued that although Parliament had the right to regulate

commerce, it lacked the authority to pass duties, which were a form of taxation,

without the consent of the colonial representatives. Furthermore, Dickinson stated

that the idea of no taxation without representation was most prominent in English

law.

20.John Lockes Two Treatises on Government-TheFirst Treatiseattacks

patriarchalism and the Second Treatiseoutlines a theory of political orcivil

societybased onnatural rights andcontract theory.

21.Thomas Pains Common Sense-presented the American colonists with an argument

for freedom fromBritish rule at a time when the question of independence was still

undecided. Paine wrote and reasoned in a style that common people understood;

forgoing the philosophy and Latin references used byEnlightenment era writers,

Paine structured Common Senselike asermon and relied onBiblical references to

make his case to the people.

22.Results of the Treaty of Paris (1783)-Signed between the American colonies and

Great Britain, ended the American Revolution and formally recognized the United

States as an independent nation.

23.Battle of Saratoga (consequences)- The Americans forced the surrender of

Burgoynes force. France and Spain declared war on Britain and the American effort

was galvanized.

24.First Continental Congress-a convention of delegates from twelve of the

thirteenNorth American colonies that met on September 5, 1774, atCarpenters'

Hall in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania,early in theAmerican Revolution.It was called in

response to the passage of the Coercive Acts by theBritish Parliament.The Congress

was attended by 56 members appointed by the legislatures of twelve of the Thirteen

Colonies,the exception being theProvince of Georgia,which did not send

delegates. The Congress met briefly to consider options, including an

economicboycott of British trade; publishing a list of rights and grievances; and

petitioningKing George III for redress of those grievances.

25.The Declaratory ActAlthough Parliament had revoked the hated stamp act, many

people did not know of the newly enacted Declaratory Act. The Declaratory Act

claimed that Parliament had the right to impose taxes and laws upon the colonies, no

matter what, in all cases whatsoever. The Act would once again invoke conflict

between the colonies and the British government.

Revolution

27.Change in American public opinion between January 1774 and July 1776-

Nationalistic to patriotic

28.The United States at the end of the Revolutionary war?

were not trained. They did not want to pay back war reparations. Also, they failed to

listen to the British directions (Washington attacked without permission.

30.Pontiacs Rebellion- chief Pontiac attacked the colonies because the native

Americans were angry that settlers kept moving westward. This rebellion destroyed

forts and settlements from New York to Virginia.

31.John Dickinson-WroteLetters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania.It united the people

themselves. If anything, it was wrong that the crown placed a law that raised taxes

rather than regulating trade.

32.Circular letter- Written by Sam Adams and Otis. It encouraged the colonists to rebel

against the townshend acts. The crown dissolved this letter and placed more troops in

Boston.

33.The Gaspee Accident-One of the most important letters that the Committee looked

36.Poor Richards Almanack- Written by Benjamin Franklin. It was the most selling

book for many years. The almanac contained weather, sayings, statistic poems, astrology,

astronomy and even mathematic theories.

37. Great Awakening- an arousing religious revival that exploded during the 1730s-40s.

Occurred due to the decrease in religious fervor than earlier times, and worry that not

many people would be saved. It was ignited by pastor John Edwards, who preached about

the eternal damnation that nonbelievers would face after death. George Whitefield began

four years after Edwards and performed more emotional speeches than Edwards. This led

to controversy between the old lights and the new lights.

38. John Peter Zenger- a newspaper printer who was brought to trial concerning his

report. His legal case took place from 1734-1735. Zenger had printed in article in New

York, which attacked the royal governor and accused him of being corrupt. He was

charged with seditious libel. With Andrew Hamilton as his lawyer, Zenger proclaimed

that what he had written in his paper was true. The jurors ruled him not guilty. This event

was a giant step toward freedom of speech and for the health of democracy.

39. James Oglethorpe- one of the founders of Georgia who was a dynamic soldier-

statesman. He became interested in prison reform after one of his friends died in a

debtors jail. He along with many others set out to create a colony that was a haven for

those imprisoned for debt. They were determined, at first, to keep slavery out of Georgia.

(He was the first governor of Georgia)

40. Cecil Calvert-aka the 2nd

Lord Baltimore. He founded Maryland in 1634 partly to

reap financial profit and partly to create a refuge for his fellow Catholics, who were being

discriminated against by Protestants in England. He granted large estates to his relatives


9/21

and offered land around the Chesapeake region to other Catholics. Tensions between the

Catholics and Protestants in the colonies flared into open rebellion. Maryland was able to

prosper similarly to Virginia, off of tobacco. He permitted freedom of worship at the

outset.

41. Anne Hutchinson- mother of fourteen who challenged Puritan orthodoxy. She

claimed that a holy life was no sign of salvation and that a truly saved need not bother to

obey the law of either God or man. Due to this assertion known as antinomianism, she

was convicted of heresy. When on trial she declared that she had come to her beliefs

through a direct revelation from God, which was an even higher heresy. Puritan

Magistrates banished her and her family. She moved to New York where her family was

attacked by Indians, all but her and one other remained.

42. William Penn- a wellborn and athletic young Englishman, who became a Quaker in

1660. After suffering much persecution and ridicule, led the Quakers and founded them a

new colony called Pennsylvania. He promised better relations between the whites and

Indians. He created a very tolerant society in Pennsylvania.

43. The Halfway Covenant- anew formula for church membership. It modified the

covenant between church and its adherents, to admit to baptism-but not full

communion- the unconverted children of existing members. The Halfway Covenant

weakened the distinction between the elect and others, which further diluted the

spiritual purity of the original settlers. It also dramatized the difficulty of maintaining at

fever pitch the religious devotion of the founding generation. Jeremiads thundered from

the pulpits, yet soon enough the doors of the Puritan churches swung fully open to all

comers. Women were the majority in the Puritan congregations.


10/21

44. The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut- a modern constitution which established

a regime democratically controlled by the substantial citizens. Later borrowed for

Connecticuts colonial charter and for its state constitution

45. Sir Edmond Andros- able autocratic English military man who was conscientious

but tactless. He became the new dominion of the Dominion of New England. He

established headquarters in Puritanical Boston and generated much hostility by his open

affiliation with the despised Church of England. Prompt to use the mailed fist, Andros

ruthlessly curbed town meeting, laid heavy restriction on the courts, press, and schools,

and revoked all land titles. He taxed the people without representation and enforced the

Navigation Laws. A Boston mob, influenced by the news of the Glorious Rebellion, rose

against Sir Edmond Andros and his regime. They hastily shipped him off to England.

47. Puritan intolerance of dissent led to the founding of: (they all ran from Puritan

intolerance)

Maryland- established proprietor from the king. Catholics revolted against Protestants

and lost. Catholics lost their right to vote in Maryland.

Pennsylvania- founded by William Penn for the Quakers

Connecticut- Reverend Thomas Hooker led a large group of Boston Puritans here.

Delaware- formerly part of Pennsylvania; William Penn granted the 3 lower countries of

Pennsylvania their own assembly making them their own colony.

Rhode Island- founded by Roger Williams- Puritan who turned Baptist

New York- the king granted this land to his brother the Duke of York

New Jersey- formerly part of New York, the Duke of York gave the land to two of his

friends.


11/21

The Carolinas- granted by Charles II to eight nobles who became the lord proprietors of

the Carolinas

New Hampshire- King Charles II separated it from Massachusetts Bay and appointed a

governor making it a royal colony, in hope to increase his power over the colonies.

Georgia- created as a defensive buffer to protect the South Carolina plantations.

Virginia- founded by the Pilgrims at Plymouth seeking religious toleration

48. Holy Experiment-by William Penn. It was an effort to create a haven for the

unwanted Quakers where they could live in peace. They were very tolerant to other

religions (except for Jews and Catholics) and were able to attain their own land and

farms. Still persecution occurred between the Quakers and the neighboring Protestants in

Maryland. Pennsylvania attracted a variety of people of different races, classes and

religions.

49. The way Europeans treated Native Americans in the 1500s and 1600swas cruel

harsh and violent. Europeans were constantly warring with the Native Americans for

their land and later forced them into slavery. Not only were the Native Americans killed

through war but through the diseases brought by Europeans. Native Americans attempted

many times to rebel and fight against the Europeans, but their weapons were no match to

the European guns and fighting tactics. The Europeans nearly wiped out the entire Native

American population in America.

50. Factors behind European exploration and settlement in the 16th

century-Desire

to find new trade routes to Asia and to break the trade monopoly of Muslims and Italians-

- By the 1400s, merchants and crusaders had brought many goods to Europe from Africa,

the Middle East, and Asia. Demand for these goods increased the desire for trade


12/21

Desire to expand knowledge of the new world

Desire for gold and glory

Desire to spread Christianity--Both Protestant and Catholic nations were

eager to make new converts. Missionaries followed the path blazed by

explorers, sometimes using force to bring native peoples into their faiths.

To find gold, silver, and precious stones

51. Reasons for the Delay in founding English settlements in America

England's monarchy in the 1500s was preoccupied with other matters,

including Henry VIII's break with the Roman Catholic Church

52. Reasons for the Survival of the Jamestown colony.

John Smith's LeadershipSmith sought successfully traded for food

with the Native American Nansemonds

- Smith interacted with the Native Americans in the area, and formed

a shaky alliance with Powhatan tribes--The Natives shared food with

the colonists, taught them to grow corn and tobacco, and how to find

other food sources in the area.

Established tobacco industry of John RolfeRolfe developed a new

variety of tobacco which became very popular in Europe and brought financial

prosperity to the colony

53. The Edict of Nantes

issued on by Henry IV of France in 1598 to grant the Calvinist

Protestants of France (also known as Huguenots) substantial rights in a nation

still considered essentially Catholic.


13/21

Granted limited religious freedom to French Protestants, and stopped

religious wars between Protestants and Catholics

Allowed France colonize North America since after it, France was no

longer convulsed by foreign wars and domestic strife

54. The First Charter of the Virginia Company

Granted in June of 1606 by King James I to a group of London

entrepreneurs, the Virginia Company, to establish a satellite English settlement

in the Chesapeake region of North America

By the terms of the charter, the London Company was permitted to

establish a colony of 100 miles square between the 34th parallel and the 41st

parallel (approximately between Cape Fear and Long Island Sound), and also

owned a large portion of Atlantic Ocean and inland Canada.

55. Treaty of Tordesillas

Treaty issued on June 7, 1494, that divided newly discovered lands in

North America between Spain and Portugal, creating an exclusive duopoly

Decreed that lands on to the east would belong to Portugal while lands

on the west would belong to Spainalthough Spain received a larger portion of

the land, Portugal gained concessions in Africa, Asia and present-day Brazil

56. Columbus' accomplishments

He found the New World (the Bahamas) in 1492

Brought great wealth and glory to Spain

Trading of goods- introduced corn, tobacco, potato, beans to Europe

Native Americans spread syphilis to Europe


14/21

Europeans introduced sugar, horses, pigs, the wheel, iron implements, and guns to

America

Also spread diseases such as small pox, measles, mumps and other germs to America

56.Colombus accomplishments

a. Discovered the New World as an attempt to find a route to the riches of

China and the Indies.

b. His voyages brought the first PERMANENT interaction between the

Europeans and Native Americans

i.

This interaction introduced the Europeans to many new foods and

plants like beans, corns, sweet and white potatoes, tomatoes and

tobacco

ii. Spread of diseases like syphilis, smallpox, and measles

iii. his discovery of the new world led to the introduction of the wheel,

iron implements, and guns to the Americas.

c.

During his four transatlantic voyages, Columbus chartered the route for

what today are the islands of Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic,

Puerto Rico, Jamaica, the Lesser Antilles and the coasts of Panama,

Honduras and Venezuela.

d. Columbus introduced the principle of compass variation (the variation at

any point on the Earths surface between the direction to magnetic and

geographic north) and observed the rotation of the Pole star.

e. Columbuss trans-Atlantic route laid the foundation for future navigation

in the region. His maps were used by Amerigo Vespucci (after whom the


15/21

American continent takes its name); whose maps were used by later

explorers of South America. Columbuss maps also helped Magellan

follow the coasts of South America during his voyage around the world.

57.After the French and Indian War (Causes and Results)

a. The fourth and most decisive war between England and France.

b. From the British point of view, the French provoked the war by building a

chain of forts in the Ohio River Valley. The French did this so they could

halt the westward growth of the British colonies.

c.

The British victory gave Great Britain supremacy in North American and

also established threat country as the dominant naval power in the world

58.Consequences of the Stamp Act

a. Effort to raise funds to support the British military forces by Lord

Grenville

b. Enacted by the Parliament in 1765

c.

Revenue stamps placed on printed-paper, legal docs, newspapers,

pamphlets, ads.

d. First direct tax collected from those who used goods- pain by the people.

e. People extremely opposed the Stamp Act

i. A lawyer named Patrick Henry demanded in the House of

Burgesses that the kings government recognize the rights of

citizens including no taxation without representation

ii. In Massachusetts- James Otis initiated a call for cooperative action

among the colonies to protest the Stamp Act.


16/21

iii. Boycott against British imports which declined trade which caused

London merchants to put pressure on Parliament to repeal the

Stamp Act

59.Sons of Liberty: A secret society organized for the purpose of intimidating tax

agents. Members of this society sometimes tarred and feathered revenue officials

and destroyed revenue stamps.

60.Immigration to the colonies during the 18th

century

a. In the 17th and early 18th centuries, many colonists arrived as indentured

servants or bondsmen who served a term of service before receiving their

freedom.

61.The new man described by Jean de Crevecoeur

62.What is all the evidence of single original continent?

63.Why was Anne Hutchinson banned from Massachusetts Bay Colony?

- She was banned because she questioned the doctrines of Puritan authorities. She

believed in antinomianism- the belief that faith alone, not deeds, is necessary for

salvation. After she was banished from the Bay colony, Hutchinson founded the

colony of Portsmouth.

64.What was the purpose of the Stamp Act?

65. Reasons for founding of the Jamestown colony


17/21

a. Englands King James 1 chartered the Virginia Company, a joint stock

company that established the first permanently English colony in America,

JAMESTOWN in 1607.

b. The initial purpose was to expand Englands empire, find another passage

to the Orient and to spread Anglican religion.

66.What factors motivated Puritans to migrate New England in the 1630s?

a. Escape religious persecution- The Puritans were intolerant of anyone or

anything that questioned their religious teachings. This group called the

separatists rejected the idea of reforming the church of England and

wanted to create a church apart from royal control.

b. They initially meant to go to Virginia but they landed in Massachusetts

after a long storm and established a new colony at Plymouth.

67. Stono Rebellion: The Stono Rebellion was the largest rebellion mounted by

slaves against slave owners in colonial America. The Stono Rebellion's location

was near the Stono River in South Carolina. It was led by native Africans who

were Catholic and from the kingdom of Kongo. Their leader was Jemmy who was

between individual colonies. The legislature would function as a branch of the

British Parliament, and legislation passed by the American house would require

Parliament's approval. The plan also recommended appointment, by the king and

a grand council of the colonial assemblies, of a president-general tooversee the
