To begin, Zach had to resubmit his homework assignment from last week. We took time to review the accompanying lesson on the religious, social and political differences between the north, middle, and south colonies. Zach had to complete an analysis of a map of colonial America around 1700, putting it into context and summarizing the key differences between the colonies. Next, we covered the next lesson on King Phillip's War (aka the First Indian War). We discussed the increasing occurrence of Native American uprisings, the attacks led by Metacomet (aka King Phillip), and alliances made with the Iroquois Confederacy and the destruction to Native American populations. Next, we analyzed the effects of the French-Indian War, the increase in British soldiers quartered in the colonies and the increase in taxes on the colonists. We went over the Navigation Act of 1651, as the first of many that aimed to strengthen England's hold, world trade, and reliance on the colonies as a source of income and how these policies preempted the beginnings of the American Revolution. Zach then completed the subsequent assignment.
