Unit+3+-+Colonial+North+America+11-12

__Unit Overview__
toc In this unit, we'll look at the British Colonies in North America during the first half of the eighteenth century and how the mindset of colonies changed from being full-blown British citizens who lived far away from their motherland to developing a distinct culture of their own. (Please note that during this time, the idea of becoming an independent nation was virtually non-existent.) We'll look at the factors that caused this difference to take place and also look at the origins of dissent in the colonies.

__Key Questions__

 * What factors caused a distinct society to be developed in the British Colonies of North America?
 * How did colonists attempt to resist British rule in North America? How successful were these attempts at revolt?
 * What role did changing cultural thought (i.e. Enlightenment, First Great Awakening, etc.) play in the development of the colonies?
