There are no “trick” questions. When I give you dates and figures, they are generally correct. The determination of whether an answer is wrong or right will not depend, for example, on the date being 1764 or 1765, or the number of British pounds sterling being £10,000 or £11,000. However, if the question or answer states a colony is northern or southern, or whether a country is a Catholic or Protestant, that is a VERY BIG difference, and you are responsible to know that.

This final exam is worth 30% of your grade in this course. Please take your time, skip tough questions and come back to them later (perhaps a later question will provide you with a hint or reminder). 

There are no “trick” questions. When I give you dates and figures, they are generally correct. The determination of whether an answer is wrong or right will not depend, for example, on the date being 1803 or 1812. However, if the question or answer states federalist or anti-federalist or strict or loose interpretation of the Constitution, that is a VERY BIG difference, and you are responsible to know that.

Their credentials allowed them to advance to very high positions in their respective armed forces, Lieutenant-General and Major-General. At the close of the French and Indian War, a final battle took place in Quebec, and both generals, evenly matched, neither with a significant military advantage over the other, met on the Plains of Abraham. After a long, drawn-out engagement, both generals were killed and only due to British luck and French exhaustion did the battle result in an English victory.{FALSE} // question: 0 name: Switch category to $course$/Midterm Exam/True False $CATEGORY: $course$/Midterm Exam/True False // question: 818173 name: Colonial reaction to the Stamp Tax of 1765 was unfavorable, and leaders called for its repeal.

Colonial reaction to the Stamp Tax of 1765 was unfavorable, and leaders called for its repeal. Using the argument of "no taxation without representation", they refused to accept the position of "virtual representation", which Parliament supported. Colonists were also aided in their cause when some British leaders, such as William Pitt, former Prime Minister and political "hero" of the French and Indian War openly referred to this Act as "improper taxing". When violence, perpetrated by the Sons of Liberty, erupted against royal officials located in the New World, the colonists achieved success in calling for a repeal of the Stamp Act.

Concerning what came to be know as Bacon's Rebellion, the two people involved couldn't have been more different. Governor William Berkeley was born into wealth and power, while Nathaniel Bacon was born into poverty, but worked his way into a respectable, if meager, lifestyle. Even though they agreed on little else, they both saw the value of coming together to protect the colony of Virginia against the Indians.  Although successful, neither the video shown nor the internet sources used painted a positive image of either of these men.

In the online forum, Jonathan Edwards' "fire and brimstone" sermons spoke about an angry and wrathful God who would banish human sinners in the fires of hell. His position, although representative of the Great Awakening in colonial America, also ran contrary to the beliefs of many Enlightenment thinkers. But the emotionalism that he brought to his revivalist flock of followers was not contradicted by other religious leaders and movements of the era. The reception of divine grace into the human body and soul would, by necessity, always be accompanied by intense feelings and emotions.  As a matter of fact, even Benjamin Franklin, a symbol of the Enlightenment, was so swayed by the sermon that he emptied his own pockets into the church collection plate.

It successfully organized citizen committees, called the Association, to carry out its declarations and resolves. But its greatest success was in implementing its revolutionary goals and eventual separation of the colonies from Great Britain. These principals were revealed in the document written mainly by Thomas Jefferson which came to be called the Declaration of Independence.{FALSE} // question: 818171 name: The important role played by the jury in court cases was on full display in the sedition libel case of newspaperman John Peter Zenger.

The important role played by the jury in court cases was on full display in the seditious libel case of newspaperman John Peter Zenger. Since Zenger's New York Weekly Journal had printed the truth, the members of the jury delivered their verdict of "not guilty". This case continues to serve as one of the nation's earliest rulings on freedom of the press.

The majority of indentured servants in the colonies returned to England at the end of their service because of the lack of opportunity in America. But their numbers were easily replaced by the influx of other immigrants. The chart clearly illustrates the fact of both of the above statements.

The slave experience was a relative one in the English colonies.  For example, in the Upper South, where tobacco was the major crop, slaves worked in gang labor crews with strict oversight by their masters.  However, in the Lower South, rice was the major crop, and swampland conditions, which gave rise to mosquitoes and malaria, compelled overseers to avoid a close physical presence.  Slaves were given a daily task, and when it was completed, they had free time to pursue their own interests.  Therefore, one could accurate claim that in some situations, slavery in the Lower South allowed a certain degree of freedom that was missing in the Upper South.

This painting of a Puritan woman is interesting, because it can both tell us the truth and  lie to us at the same time.  While the inclusion of various details tell us about the lifestyle of a middle to upper class Puritan woman, this picture has also been altered.  The chronology is technically incorrect for the two people depicted in the painting, the child being added after the fact.
