Part 2. Essays-Write complete answers to 2 (two) of the following.
1) From the sixteenth century, Spain was dogged by the "Black Legend," the idea that Spanish colonization was excessively cruel and oppressive towards the Native Americans in the Spanish Empire.
England would often cite this idea to prove the benevolence of their colonization efforts by comparison. Is this claim justified? Consider the nature of both Spanish and English colonization efforts in your answer.
2) Unlike the tightly controlled efforts of Spain, England had a haphazard, semi-private approach to the founding of its colonies in North America. How and why did England embark on colonization efforts in the sixteenth century?
What motivated the settlers of these new colonies to come to North America? With all of their disparate motivations what unites the motivations of those who settled places as disparate as Virginia, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Georgia?
3) Unfree labor was a major part of colonial life. Compare and contrast the three major kinds of unfree labor in England's colonies. Why did African slavery emerge as the dominant form of unfree labor in the colonies? What was slave life like from capture through their enslaved existence? What forms did slave resistance take?
4) Two seemingly contradictory cultural developments occurred in the English colonies in the eighteenth century, that of Anglicization and the development of a separate American identity.
Why does this occur? Be sure to explore both the causes and shape of Anglicization, the nature of Britain's relationship to their colonies, and what made up this new American character. Are these two trends contradictory?
5) At the moment of victory in 1763, the colonies reveled in their Britishness, thirteen years later they called the King their enemy and their nation independent. What drove the colonists to desire Independence? What were the key issues of the dispute between
Mother Country and Colonies?
What proved to be the "tipping point" where the break became inevitable? How did the Revolution change the nature of American society? Be sure to consider the nature of class, gender, and the status of slaves and Native Americans.
Remember: Coverage Counts. Be as complete and detailed in your answers as possible.
