We spent the period reviewing Chap. 4, "The Colonies Grow: 1607 - 1770" for a test tomorrow. We reviewed the ecomonies in New England, the Middle and South Western Colonies as well as the difference between subsistence, commercial farming and cash crops in the 13 colonies. We reviewed the horrors of triangular trade and the Middle Passage that forced people kidnapped from Western Africa into lives of slavery in the Caribbean (West Indies) region, extending from Georgia in the south to as far north as New England. In the first 1/2 of the 1700s, the colonies experienced a religious revival called the Great Awakening, the Enlightenment, the growth of education (Harvard University was founded in 1636) and freedom of the press. We reviewed the Albany Plan of Union, the French & Indian War (aka the Seven Years' War), the emergence of George Washington as a leader, Benjamin Franklin as an enlightened scientist, politician & philosopher and the continued hostility between France & England in North America.
