During the colonial era, all of the following people created new societies out of diverse groups in america-

-english -africans -indians -french

By 1775, the following communities could be considered as full cities in colonial America:

-ny -charlestown -philadelphia -boston

all of the following conditions caused many scots to migrate to northern ireland and thence to america:

-poor quality of farmland in scotland -spread of commercial farming -extremely high rent increase -paying taxes to support the anglican church -the scots irish was protestant

the average age of the american colonists in 1775 was

16

colonial american taverns were considered to be

Another cradle of democracy, Hotbeds of agitation for the Revolutionary movement, Important in crystallizing public opinion, and Places providing amusement

In 1775, the congregational and anglican churches were the only two established churches in colonial America

The congregational church was a tax supported church in new england and the anglican church was tax supported in the southern colonies

as a result of the rapid population growth in colonial america during the 18th century

a momentous shift occurred in the balance of power between colonies and the mother country

the population growth of the american colonies by 1775 is

attributed mostly to the natural fertility of all americans

the scots irish found their protestant religion to be a

bond that held them together

With regard to governmental authority, the Scots-Irish colonists

cherished no love for the british or any other government

One of the surest avenues to speedy wealth in the american colonies was a

commercial venture

all of the following are reasons the 13 atlantic seaboard colonies sought independence:

distinctive -social structures -economic structure -political structures -appearance of a recognizably american way of life

the population of the 13 american colonies was perhaps the most

diverse in the world, although it remained predominantly anglo-saxon

When the Scots-Irish established a new community, one of the first tasks they undertook was to

erect a church

the presbyterian church was popular on the frontier especially with the scotch irish

especiall

The Scots-Irish can best be described as

fiercely independent

Manufacturing was a secondary economy activity of colonial america compared to

fishing, commerce (shipping), farmingm and slave trade

In contrast to the 17th century, by 1775 colonial Americans

had become more stratified into social classes and had less social mobility

When the British Parliament passed the Molasses Act in 1733, it intended the act to

inhibit colonial trade with french west indies

by 1775, the africans were the

largest ethnic group in colonial america

The major manufacturing enterprise in colonial america in the 18th century was

lumbering

american colonists sought trade with countries other than great britain to

make money to buy what they wanted in britain

english officials tried to estatblish the church of england in as

many colonies as possible because the church would act as a major prop for kingly authority

the most and least honored profession in early colonial society was

ministry medicine

one feature common to all of the eventually rebellious colonies was their

rapidly growing population

Although manufacturing in the colonies was of only secondary importance, they did produce

rum, beaver hats, lumber, and iron

by the end of the 1700s, 90% of the people were living in

rural areas of colonial america

on the eve of the american revolution, social and economic mobility decreased, partly because

some merchants made huge profits as military suppliers

What were considered a naval store

tar, pitch, rosin, and turpentine

One feature of the american economy that strained the relationship between the colonies and Britain was

the growing desire of americans to trade with other nations in addition to britain

By the 18th century. the various colonial regions had distinct economic identities:

the new england colonies relied on fishing, lumber and commerce; the middle colonies relied on cattle and grain; the chesapeake colonies relied on tobacco, and the other southern colonies relied on rice and indigo

the triangular trade of colonial american shipping industry involved

the trading of rum for african slaves, then trading slaves for sugar cane in the west indies, and then trading sugar cane for rum in new england.

by the mid 1700s, the number of poor people in the american colonies remained

tiny compared to england

When several colonial legislatures attempted to restrict or halt the importation of slaves, British authorities

vetoes such efforts

The riches created by the growing slave population in the American South

were not distributed evenly among whites

The leading industry in the american colonies as a

whole was agriculture
