What is the relationship between settler colonialism, resistance (by Indigenous and Africans), and its impact on changes in colonial society in British North America from the 17th into the 18th century (roughly 1650 to 1750)? Please choose one thematic area to focus on in your argument (i.e. colonial laws, economics and class conflict, or political and religious beliefs/attitudes). How do such changes help us understand some factors that might contribute to the push for independence by British colonists? Choose three events or historical episodes (big or small) that illustrate your argument and consider important parallels or differences between these events and relevant key terms or concepts that apply. Be sure to use a balanced mix of primary sources (American Yawp Reader) and secondary sources (American Yawp, Horne, Dunbar-Ortiz, documentaries, etc.) as evidence to support your argument.
