1. England exported goods to sell to other countries to make money. North America where Connecticut and Rhode Island are were places that England liked to trade with. They were known as charter colonies that were established by settlers who had been given a charter or a grant of rights and privileges. They were able to elect their own government. Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania are colonies that are owned by someone called a Proprietary colony, and they are able to rule freely. Through cultures, work, and government there are apprentices who learn certain tasks. Eventually, England's literacy improved which meant they were able to read and write.
2. The family was very important to the colonial life. Women worked in the household as well as on the farm. They cooked for the men and children, and also spun yarn, made clothes, tended chickens and cows. Sometimes they also helped on the fields side to side with the working men.
Women still didn’t have any political rights like voting, but they were able to attend chuch meetings.
3. North America was viewed by Enland as an economic resource, and they provided them with raw materials. As trade grows, the nation will become more powerful. To become more powerful, England had to export more goods than imported. To make certain that only England benefited from trade with the colonies, they made the Navigation Act to direct the flow of goods between England and the colonies. The colonies got upset because they couldn't use foreign ships even if the ships offered cheaper rates. It also prevented the colonists from sending out certain products they couldn't obtain anymore outside of the England empire. It started to make the colonists less powerful.
4. Joh Peter Zenger’s wrote an article that was critical against the royal governor of New York. His case was judged by a jury, and Andrew Hamilton defended Zenger’s article because he believed that free speech was a basic right for English people. Andrew told the jury to base their decision on wether his article was true, not wether it was offensive.
