Problem
You've now learned about how transformative this era of colonial society was and how some groups sought to strengthen the structures of colonial life while others wanted it challenged. How did the colonists redefine both materialism and spiritualism in this era? How did other groups, such as Natives and enslaved Africans/African Americans, challenge the structures of colonial society? Why is it important to look at how various groups (not just European colonists) are transforming in this era?
