1650, Chesapeake society splintered into two social groups who mistrusted each
other. Identify the social groups and the causes of this polarity.
3. Briefly identify the major reason for Bacon's Rebellion in 1676. Include Bacon's

4. Discuss the 1680 Pueblo Revolt against the Spanish in New Mexico.
5. List the major reasons tobacco planters converted their plantations from servant labor
to slave labor beginning around 1670.
6. In 1607, the early English colonists who arrived at Jamestown found themselves

what benefits the newcomers derived from their association with the Algonquians,
and how and why their relationship changed by 1622.
