What geographical feature determined the Western boundaries of the Southern and Middle Colonies?

Appalachian Mountains

How did the New England and Middle colonies' economies differ in general from the economy of the South? What may have accounted for this difference?

The New England and Middle Colonies' economies mostly counted on the hunting and fishing industries, and the Southern Colony's economy mostly counted on the farming industry. The warmer temperatures down south influenced the great amount of farming all year round, and the cooler temperatures in the north influenced the high amount of hunting and farming throughout the year.

What effects did the Navigation Acts have on both Britain and its colonies?

The Navigation Acts (a series of laws restricting colonial trade) greatly impacted Britain and its colonies positively. The flow of foreign goods into England and its Colonies allowed for many new jobs to open up to the colonists. Also, the colonial shipbuilding industry "boomed" as a result of restricting trade to English or colonial ships.

Why did England take action against Massachusetts?

England took action against Massachusetts because after Andros took action against the Puritans' belief system, the Puritans stepped in and eventually arrested Andros (and his royal councilors). After this event, the English appointed a new leader to Massachusetts, and made laws such as; the Puritans were no longer able to persecute other religious groups (people of the Anglican Church, or Quakers).

How did both the colonies and Great Britain benefit from the policy of Salutary Neglect?

Great Britain's most beneficial result of the Salutary Neglect Policy had been how the leaders (of Great Britain) were no longer required to look after the colonies for extensive amounts of time. Also, Great Britain had a constant buy-and-sell relationship with the colonies, so they made a ton of money from the colonies' loyalty. The colonies' most beneficial result of the Salutary Neglect Policy had been the increase of self-government beyond the power of the new governor.

mercantilism

Influenced England's interest in establishing new colonies- a theory which held that a country's ultimate goal was self-sufficiency, and that all countries were in a competition to acquire the most gold and silver.

England's legislative body.

Navigation Acts

A series of laws restricting colonial trade.

Dominion of New England

Sir Edmund Andros

The new ruler of New England (a veteran military officer from an aristocratic English family) who made unfair laws against the Puritans, and was arrested and ridden out by the colonists.

- King James fathering a son, and England suddenly faced the possibility of a dynasty of Roman Catholic monarchs.
- Parliament invited William of Orange (the husband of James's Protestant
daughter Mary) to England.
- William and his army sailed from Holland as James fled the country.
- Parliament voted to offer the throne to William and Mary.

Salutary Neglect

The new overall colonial policy which allowed the colonies to gain self-governmental roles due to the lenient new governor.

Why did Parliament pass the Navigation Acts?

Parliament passed the Navigation Acts due to the mercantilist theory, after viewing the colonists' pursuit of foreign markets as an economic threat.

How did these acts benefit England?

These acts benefited England by increasing the profit taken in by the country from gaining control over ship ports and the intake of foreign goods.

How did the acts benefit the colonies?

These acts benefited the Colonies by opening up many new jobs in the ship docks, providing the colonies with more money.

How did the acts hurt the colonies?

The Navigation Acts formed resentment within the colonies because the colonists grew angry at England for controlling most of the trade opportunities, and taking all of the income. These events led to the Dominion of New England.

Why did the Glorious Revolution occur?

The Glorious Revolution occurred because King James was fathering a son (who would become the future King), and Parliament offered the throne to William and Mary.

How did the revolution affect England?

How did it affect the colonies?

The colonies eventually rebelled against England, and Parliament eventually passed Salutary Neglect, giving the colonies more freedom.
