yes. they are mistreated because of the basis of their beliefs, just like mistreatment because of the color of your skin

Lsn 2 - how did tolerance play a role in the formation of New England colonies, and why does it remind you of Christian hypocrisy

there was a huge Christianity problem, people lacked tolerance therefore mistreated others with different beliefs, this led to the initial creation of Massachusetts, and when the citizens of those gained a lack of tolerance to others of different beliefs, it led to the creation of the other colonies (Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Conneticut)

Lsn 2 - what is considered the first giant step in democracy and why

the Mayflower Compact was a document that if signed, meant you were to follow all the laws of the Virginia Company the same way they do, showing equality between the Pilgrims and the Virginia Compact, and equality is a huge aspect of democracy

Lsn 2 - how is the Great Migration like moving to a new house, what is the significance of the Great Migration

The Great Migration was people migrating because of economic struggles and religious persecution, just like people moving because of the environment. The significance of it was that because of the amount of people joining the Massachusetts Bay Company, it led to government and therefore the first colony, Massachusetts

Lsn 2 - what event in the Massachusetts developing gov. can you make connections to the farmers' rebellion in China

just like how farmers rebelled in China for poor treatment economically, settlers in Massachusetts demanded for higher, more significant roles in government like voting due to not enough recognition to the citizens politically

Lsn 2 - who is the leader and motives of that leader to develop in the Connecticut River Valley (thomas the train)

Thomas Hooker didn't like how Puritans ran the colony of Massachusetts, so he created movements to the Connecticut River Valley which had rich farming land, founding the town of Hartford and later other towns were established

patroons have the same purpose as nobles in medieval Europe: own and rule over large areas of land with citizens that offered them labor and crops

Lsn 3 - describe proprietary colony and how it differs from democracy

proprietary colonies are colonies in which an owner (proprietor) owned all the land and controlled all of government. places like early New York were proprietary. the difference is democracy enforces equality, which isn't a factor in proprietary colonies as you have one person controlling everything rather than having equal roles.

Lsn 3 - which group of New Netherland made a housing market

the Dutch West India Company offered grants of land in exchange for (at least 50) settlers (land for population) to work that grant of land. as a result, New Netherlands gained population and therefore success. like the housing market who give land/house to a settler/citizen

New Jersey offered representative assembly, trial by jury, large tracts of land, and freedom of religion, a ploy to gain population. unfortunately, it couldn't because unlike New York, they didn't have a natural harbor so no major port/city

Lsn 3 - which group created Pennsylvania (and oats), how did it directly reflect democratic ideals and free religion

the Quakers, led by William Penn, gained land to make Pennsylvania so they can practice Quaker Ideals. Penn practiced that idea that everyone was equal and they should follow their religion and not the religious teachings, however it was still proprietary

Lsn 3 - how did Penn do billboard advertising and what were the results

William Penn, with negotiation of treaties, had Native Americans advertise Pennsylvania for him, it worked and Pennsylvania's population grew immensely, quickly housing the most prosperous city and populous port (Philly)

Lsn 3 - what colony came as a result of generosity and mercy

people from Sweden had lived south of Pennsylvania before Pennsylvania was a thing, so when William Penn came into play, he decided to let the southern counties form their own colony named Delaware, although still under Pennsylvania mostly

Lsn 3 - how did the Hudson River help with the founding of a colony

the Hudson River served as a major transportation link to land (farms, forests, furs) helping settlers on Manhattan Island with access to the Hudson, resulting in New Amsterdam becoming a central shipping port to and from Americas

the Hudson and Delaware Rivers were the foundation of the political borders for New Jersey, taking the land between the two rivers as their own

Lsn 4 - what was the very beginning of English colonization in America

the settlement of Jamestown, late becoming the Virginia Bay Company

Lsn 4 - what crop did Virginia take advantage of, what and why did it lead to a major decision in colonial America

Lsn 4 - in the southern colonies there were two peasants slaves and who else

indentured servants also did labor/work just like the slaves, however they agree to it rather than forced, they work for a certain amount of time for passage to America

Lsn 4 - how did Catholicism play the biggest role in the founding of Maryland

reason is the Catholics in England were being persecuted, so George Calvert gained land from King Charles, created a safe place for Catholics, later given to Cecilius who sent two of his brothers to start Maryland

Lsn 4 - what term is similar to a castle

estates were big pieces of land that was owned by a single person, just like a castle was only owned by a noble or lord. estates were given to higher ranking statuses in Maryland's society (like aristocrats)

Lsn 4 - what was the conflict about between the Calvert and Penn families (pennsylvania and maryland), how was it solved

the conflict was about the boundary between the two colonies, to solve it they sent Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon to map the boundary, known as the Mason-Dixon Line

Lsn 4 - in Maryland, their was a conflict on religion. why did it happen and what were the efforts that it led to

religious conflict started because Maryland allowed both Christian branches, but Protestants outnumbered Catholics, Maryland had to issue the Act of Toleration in 1649, ensuring both branches could worship freely.

no, Maryland ended up making an official Protestant church. as a result Catholics faced the same restriction they had in England, the one thing they went to Maryland to escape from

Lsn 4 - what colony and who created an actual constitution

Carolina, at least the title at the time had John Locke write a constitution, which outlined the jobs and powers of Carolina

Lsn 4 - how did both sides of Carolina succeed

northern Carolina grew tobacco and sold timber and tar using Virginia's ports, southern Carolina took advantage of the harbor at Charles Town (Charleston), spread settlements, traded beef, lumber, and deerskin. both used crops like rice and indigo because of the wet coastal lowlands, slave labor was used in both

Lsn 4 - how did Carolina split like the Red Sea

settlers took control away from the proprietors and a decade later became two royal colonies, North and South Carolina

Lsn 4 - what colony basically served sort of like a refugee camp

Britain had debtors that couldn't pay their debts imprisoned, so James Oglethorpe created Georgia for debtors and poor people of Britain to start a new life

Lsn 4 - how did James Oglethorpe go on to a downfall

poor people, religious refugees and jews all came to settle in Georgia, however a few debtors, settlers complained about his rules (like limits on landholding and bans of slave labor) so he just gave up Georgia to the king because he was fed up with the slow growth
