The content from this page comes from a variety of sources, to whom, I am greatly indebted. Having said that, here is the content that many of the previous exams have covered in the MULTIPLE CHOICE portion of the test:

__**Economics**__ Navigation Acts Mercantilism Indentured Servant System Salutary Neglect Joint Stock Company Jamestown Massachusetts Bay

__**Slavery**__ Location, location, location Why it increased in the late 17th Century Stono Rebellion (New York)

__**Social**__ Regional Differences Bacon's Rebellion Republican Motherhood Iriquois Confederacy

__**Religion**__ Puritans Quakers Great Awakening Deism Establishment of Yale and Harvard (first seminaries)

For the **FRQ/DBQ** portion of the exam, here are the previous questions that I came across:

__**DBQ**__ Although New England and the Chesapeake region were both settled largely by people of English origin, by 1700 the regions had evolved into two distinct societies. Why did this difference in development occur? Use the documents and your knowledge of the colonial period up to 1700 to develop your answer.

__**FRQ**__ 1. "Throughout the colonial period, economic concerns had more to do with the settling of British North America than did religious concerns." Assess the validity of this statement with specific reference to economic and religious concerns. 2. For the period before 1750, analyze the ways in which Britain's policy of salutary neglect influenced the development of American society as illustrated in the following: (1) legislative assemblies, (2) commerce, (3) religion. 3. Analyze the extent to which religious freedom existed in the British North American colonies prior to 1700. 4. Analyze the cultural and economic responses of TWO of the following groups to the Indians of North America before 1750: (1) British, (2) French, (3) Spanish. 5. How did economic, geographic and social factors encourage the growth of slavery as an important part of the economy of the southern colonies between 1607 and 1775? 6. Compare the ways in which religion shaped the development of colonial society (to 1740) in TWO of the following regions: (1) New England, (2) Chesapeake, and (3) Middle Atlantic.
