Instructions:

-This paper needs a precise thesis statement, nothing vague. After writing the thesis statement, you will need to support it with both primary sources and secondary evidence. I will send you the primary source by fax. The secondary evidence can be chosen by the writer. When using the primary source, try to identify the context and possible bias of the source and be sure not to ignore evidence counter to the main argument.

-Don't use too many quotes, there needs to be more text than quotes. Just use one quote if necessary, but that's it.

-Avoid using the first person or "I" and use past tense when describing past events.

-Don't forget to title the paper. Something precise that alludes to the main argument usually works best. Please don't ignore this or this come up with something that isn't relevant to the topic at hand.

The essay should end by drawing appropriate conclusions

1. The Puritans who arrived in America in 1630 were on a mission to build a -city upon a hill- as an example of what could be done in a society committed to Gods laws. In the first century of settlement, however, the challenges that they encountered compromised aspects of their mission. Discuss these challenges and the Puritans response to them.

2. What were some of the long-term effects of cross-cultural exchanges among Native Americans, Africans, Englishmen, and other ethnic groups? Discuss both specific benefits and negative aspects in detail, illustrating your answer with examples.

3. If colonial America differed from England because it offered greater opportunities, the degree to which one could take advantage of these opportunities depended upon gender, race, ethnicity, and religion. Consider the ways in which two of these factors enabled some people to enjoy the promise of Colonial America more fully than others.

4. Compare and contrast New England with the Chesapeake in either the seventeenth century (1600s) or eighteenth century (1700s). How did family, work, class, religion, and state building differ in these two regions and why?

5. Discuss the origins of colonial North American slavery. Consider the diversity of the colonies, the international context, and the Atlantic slave trade. How did the development of slavery transform life in the colonies?
