HIS discussion CH 2
Order Description
Please answer the following series of questions 1, 2 and 3.
1.How did the colony of Connecticut originate? Rhode Island? What does this expansion (“exodus”) reveal about the colony of Massachusetts Bay? Some historians joke that the other New England colonies were founded by disenchanted Puritans running for their lives from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Is this an accurate assessment?
2.What conditions shaped the character of English settlements in America? Why did English colonists come to the Americas; and why did these individuals colonies have differing characteristics?
3.What were the middle grounds? Which groups competed for them and what role did competition for this land play in the settlement and development of colonial North America?
