Week of September 28 - October 2

US I - we will be studying the various colonial regions this week. We want to gain an understanding of how and why the different colonies developed in different ways. Our focus will be on the New England and Chesapeake areas. What factors brought about the different societies?

Pages 43 - 60 must be completed for the beginning of the week.

We will be having our first test at the end of this coming week as well. You should start reviewing your notes from class and your text.

US II - we begin the investigation of western settlement this week. Some texts weave this topic into a chapter on industry and agriculture, other texts treat it separately. Regardless, it is very important to realize (1) the national issues at play in this settlement (2) the tensions between various groups with interests in the west - there were many!! and (3) the role government played, good and not so good.
