2)- In the American colonies throughout the years 1607 to 1763, the gradual weakening of British control over the colonies allowed Americans to become more independent from British rule, conduct trade of their own, and create their own culture and ideas on ways that helped them acquire relative control over their political and economic institutions.

- The Americans developed their own societal and cultural ideals.

- Throughout 1607 to 1763, Americans gradually became more independent from British rule.

- The northern colonies and southern colonies became less reliant on traders from London. The colonies began to trade directly with each other. Important crops in the colonial economy included: tobacco, rice, and indigo.

- Americans boosted their own economy in other ways, such as learning different crafts to . For example, many people became carpenters, silversmiths, printers, blacksmiths, artisans, etc.

Synthesis: As the colonies became less dependent on the British empire, they began to fight harder for their rights as citizens in the colonies, compared to how the colonists fought the American Revolution to become independent from Great Britain and be free to govern themselves.

Slavery existed in both areas but the Southern economy relied on indentured servants and slave labor to export the cash crops. Plantation v. artisan
Most of the colonists were Protestant with the except of a few areas were Catholicism and Jews were allowed to coexist. RI was the only colony that was truly religious tolerant.
Both areas supported rights based on socio-economic status ans were patriarchal
Synthesis : Compared to Athens and Sparta were both city-states under one strong empire but clashed in economy, government, and social areas.

# data[].attributes.body
1.)William Penn created Pennsylvania as a place for any religion to practice freely mostly Protestants welcomed
2.)Anne ran to NY because she didn't believe in the Puritan life style and belief
3.) Lord Baltimore created a safe haven for Catholics in Maryland.

Religious toleration in the colonies were alike in 15th century Europe, both regions were experiencing different religions becoming their own and they tried every religion were settling around trying to find a place to practice freely.

5) Thesis: Religious freedom was largely limited to Protestants while others had limited rights.

# data[].attributes.body
Evidence: 1. Christians, including Calvinists, Baptists, and Protestants, could practice their religion freely and earned rights in the colonies.
2. Catholics were usually too small in number to cause a conflict, but in colonies like Maryland, they were persecuted and stripped of their rights.
3. Other religious groups such as Jews had limited rights; Jews could not vote or hold office in any of the colonies and could only freely practice their religion in Rhode Island.
Synthesis: Religious freedom and the divergence of religious practice affected the Great Awakening; due to different ideas, congregations split between Old Light and New Light followers.

# data[].attributes.body
6) Thesis: Economic, geographic, and social factors encouraged the growth of slavery because of the cash crops, racism, and the profit from the slave trade.
Evidence:
1. Tobacco, indigo, and rice needed a lot of labor to grow in the colony's environment (ideal land for planting most crops)
2. Racism became more evident as more slaves came to America and heightened with the introduction of the slave codes
3. Merchants found that the slave labor system was extremely profitable because of how needed slaves were in America
Synthesis: The growth of slavery in the colonies made it an essential part of southern society. The necessity of slavery is very similar to today's need for technology.  Without technology, today's society would be unable to function, just like the need for slavery in the south.

7) Thesis- Both Bacon's Rebellion and the Salem Witch Trials reflect tension in the colonies in many different ways.

7) Thesis- Both Bacon's Rebellion and the Salem Witch Trials reflect tension in the colonies in many different ways.

# data[].attributes.body
Evidence- Bacon's Rebellion: Revolt against governor over land taking Native American land since poor landless whites felt they had no other choice
Bacon's Rebellion: Rich vs. Poor- Social stratification
Salem Witch Trials: People accusing each other- fear over growing materialism and accusation of property
Synthesis- Bacon's Rebellion is similar to the Pueblo Revolt because they were both cases of the lower-class majority having issues with the higher-class majority and trying to use their numbers to get what they wanted.

8) Analyze the impact of the Atlantic trade routes established in the mid 1600's on economic development in the British North American colonies. Consider the period 1650-1750.

8) Analyze the impact of the Atlantic trade routes established in the mid 1600's on economic development in the British North American colonies. Consider the period 1650-1750. 

# data[].attributes.body
Atlantic Trade Routes established in the mid 1600’s impacted the economic development in the British North American colonies by providing the colonies with necessary supplies, a labor force, and a way to make money selling goods.
Evidence Breakdown:

1. The colonies could only trade with England due to the Navigation Acts. This restricted foreign trade which produced a restrictive economic situation in the colonies.

2. Colonists bought slaves off the ships to work in their fields and provide their plantations with a labor source.

3. Some colonists made a lot of their money selling goods to places on other continents. One crop that became very popular in England was tobacco, and many colonists made their living.

Synthesis:

The Colonies made lots of money and received many important goods from the Atlantic Trade Routes, similar to how the Portuguese became very powerful and made lots of money by developing a trade route to the Spice Islands. These two trade routes provided both of these areas with many opportunities that would not have existed if the trade routes had not existed.
