HIstory Quest.

2)Canada remain british and boundary be drawn
3) Boundaries for the 13 colonies
4)Freedom for fishing off of Newfoundland

Why did slavery increase during REV. war.
Because civilizations in the south thought that the only way they could replenish their profit was by increasing the slave work force.

Who were the big losers.
France- This war cost the french economy, because they aided the Americans the most.
America- I say this because America had the most casualties from the three groups.
Britain- Britain lost a very large chunk of land to a ragtag bunch of pitchfork wielding americans.

What happened to loyalists afetr the war.
Most loyalists moved away to the West, Canada, or back to Britain. Others that chose to stay had to face prejudice.

Most important battles.
Lexington and COncord- first military contact between the two forces
Siege of fort Ticonderoga- An american victory against the british, capture of a near invincible fort
battle of saratoga- turning point for american revolution

5 reasons why the americans won.
Britain was fighting at the end of a very long supply
The american troops were to spread out for the british to cover them all
The cost was too much for the British
The spirit of General Washington
The help from the french, dutch, and spain

Why did the british strategy make little sense.


How did Brits fail to win in 1776? who was in charge?
General Howe going easy on Americans, and the weather. General Howe was in charge.

Chapter 5 section 2 notes

British red coats move into center of Boston and act rudely and violently toward colonists. March 5, 1770 colonist go on a rampage. Soldiers got scared and fired back killing 5 colonists, naming this event the Boston Massacre. People start boycotting British goods, and British remove taxes off everything but tea causing colonists to think  they won. East India trading company almost broke, British didn't levy tax and bypass colonial merchants, made their tea cost less for colonists. Colonists boycott tea, make every ship turn around in every port except Boston. 1772 people dress up as indians and throw approximately 350 chests of tea into harbor. 1774 British make town meetings not allowed. Also made so Boston couldn't receive supplies until tea payed for, and also had to house soldiers.

History Questions

1)Hurt: Spread diseases
Help: Spiritual and tribal empowerment

2) The French gave Nova Scotia to the Britains, and the Britains told the Acadians that they would either have to swear allegiance to them or leave.

3)Lack of cultural understanding caused the French to become uneasy with the native's traditional war ceremonies which involved scalping and scavenging. This was probably weird to the French because the French were not taught to fight and celebrate like this.

4) M: Thinks indians way is savagery
    J: Becomes native and use native warfare

5)George Washington, Half king, Edward Braddock

french + indian

1)It was a great trade position, all water route, and a great military defense.

2) because this allowed the French to quickly move trade.

3) Iroquois, Delewares, Shawnee

4) George Washington, Half king, Edward Braddock

5) Courage, perseverance, determination

massacre

1)Friendly trade partners. The puritans did not like the Pequots’ religion.

2) The Pequots were the most powerful tribe in the river valley. Not friendly.

3)For religious freedom. To create a land created by their religion

4)Pequots thought of land as they could work with it to create something. Puritans thought that if you didn’t change the land then you didn’t own it. The women usually did all of the work in the tribes, but the puritan men usually did all the work while the women sat at home. The puritans fought to wipe out countries and tribes, while the pequots fought to simply injure.

5)the Britans later became hostile to the Indians, while the dutch maintained trade and kept on good terms.

6)Their economy was completely about trade, and they didn’t tame their land. I think that the puritans religious views were what fueled the destruction of the pequots. The pequots had previous control to the land so by my opinion the pequots.

7) Because the Pequots were the most powerful force at the time. No, simply because the pequots were already enemies with them and they saw the opportunity to claim that land.

8) If the puritans came in peace then they probably would’ve accepted the pequots’ religious views with more ease. This would’ve definetly not destroyed their relationship, and the colonies would probably been filled with trees.

9) Casinos. Like receiving 1 million dollars literally.

10) Divided the spoils of the Pequot war. The treaty split all of the Pequots up into different tribes as slaves.

11) Probably the Peqouts stories, personal accounts written by slaves. Diaries and journals from the old colonies. Yes because it shows the views of the Pequots and the Puritans and how they were each struggling for land.

12) It knocked out a complete tribe, and opened up more land for the Puritans.

Paragraph

I found that this chapter was informative. I had always pictured Columbus as a hero, but after reading from this book I have found that he is a villain. This chapter has left me angry that I have been told false information.
