POTENTIAL ESSAY QUESTIONS
GROUP 1
1. "The British colonies in North America from the first settlements until 1763 were not a
land of opportunity. Instead they were founded on rigid notions of hierarchy that severely
limited political participation, economic opportunity, and social mobility. As a consequence,
various rebellions in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries challenged traditional
hierarchies." Assess the accuracy of this statement. You may agree or disagree with all or
parts of it. In any case, be sure to cite specific information from both the lectures and
readings to support your generalizations.
2. "The word that best sums up the experience of British colonization in North America
from the first settlements through 1763 is 'failure.' This is true in terms of both the original
purposes for the founding of various colonies whether in New England, the Chesapeake or
in the so-called "middle colonies," and in terms of efforts by the British to integrate these
colonies into a well run empire. There were few successes and many disappointments."
Assess the accuracy of this statement. You may agree or disagree with all or parts of it. In
any case, be sure to cite specific information from both the lectures and readings to support
your generalizations.
GROUP 2
3. "Between 1763 and 1776, the British government adopted a deliberate plan to destroy the
liberties of the colonists in North America. Through a series of events, some colonists came
to believe that their most sacred rights were jeopardy. The result of these policies was the
first American civil war." Assess the accuracy of this statement. You may agree or disagree
with all or parts of it. In any case, be sure to cite specific information from both the lectures
and readings to support your generalizations.
5. Had you been living in the United States between the early 1780s and 1800 and been
eligible to vote, would you have supported 1) the Federalist or Anti-Federalists; and 2) the
Federalists or Democratic-Republican parties, (factions) in politics? Why? In answering this
question, you must assess specific leaders and issues and deal with both foreign and
domestic policy.
