Answer:

New England Colonies - These colonies were founded by puritan separatists. The main reason was to flee religious persecution. Life there was controlled unders strict religious principles, and societal structure was very egalitarian.

Mid-Atlantic Colonies - These colonies were founded by private companies that obtained royal authorization (royal charters). They were characterized by a higher degree of religious diversity, with denominations such as a quakers, catholics, and presbyterians living there.

Southern Colonies - they were the last to be founded. These colonies had a warmer climate that allowed for the development of large cash crop plantations. These plantations led to the importation of thousands of African slaves. However, the backcountry of these colonies was very different, settled mainly by poor white farmers who lived off subsistance agriculture (many of them coming from Scotland and the Ulster).

One thread running through our conversations during the first half of this course is development of American political thought.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

American political thought emerged from Europe's beliefs and attitudes towards self rule. John Locke's theory of social contract served as an impetus to the movement regarding God-given rights to life, liberty, and property.

Long enshrined Colonial belief that people should govern themselves led to the call for independence in America. It draws inspiration from British empire but provides its own definition. The colonists were convinced that British Parliament is denying their natural rights that reduced their status as free men. American Revolution began with the desire to limit authoritarian government which is closely linked to the the idea of self governance.

Important events that led to American Revolution:

1) Imposition of Direct Taxes - Stamp Act (1765) and Townshend Acts (1767)

2) Boston Massacre, March 5, 1770- The resistance to British rule in the colony of Massachusetts that killed many Americans.

3) Coercive Acts 1774- abolished town meetings in Massachusetts to punish for the rebellion against the British crown.

4) First Continental Congress- created a unified resistance against the Colony.

5) Declaration of Independence, July 2, 1776- Congress declared American independence from Britain drafted by Thomas Jefferson

6) American Independence- the Declaration of Independence was signed on 4th July, 1776
