For Wednesday's class, you should outline an answer to the following question: "Although New England and the Chesapeake region were settled by people largely of English origin, by 1700 the regions had evolved into two distinct societies. Why did this difference in development occur." You will turn this outline into an essay that will be due on Monday.
For Thursday's class you should read pages 105-114. For Monday's class read 115-121. Use the following to guide your reading:
French & Indian Wars:
1.Why were the French & Indian Wars fought?
2.Why did most Indians side with the French? Was this prudent? What was the result for the tribes that sided with the French? What was the result for those who sided with the British?
3.Who won the last French & Indian War? Why did they win?
4.What long-term effects did these wars have on the colonies and their relationship with Great Britain?
