Unit 1 Flashcards - Identifications
Assignment: For each unit, we will have two sets of flashcards. The first set will focus on just vocabulary terms. The second set will focus on "ID's" - people, places, documents, etc. We will use a very similar rubric that was used for the first set. (see previous vocab. post for assignment). To earn the last two points, the rubric has been changed slightly to student choice of ONE of the following:
Jamestown: The first successful English colony in North America; its charter was granted by King James I to the Virginia Company
John Smith: was an English soldier, sailor, and author. He is remembered for his role in establishing the first permanent English settlement in North America at Jamestown, Virginia, and his brief association with the Native American girl Pocahontas during an altercation with the Powhatan Confederacy and her father, Chief Powhatan. He was a leader of the Virginia Colony (based at Jamestown) between 1607 and 1609, and led an exploration along the rivers of Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay.
Mayflower Compact:Agreement signed by the Pilgrim men in which they created a civil government and pledged loyalty to the king
Roger Williams: a notable proponent of religious toleration and the separation of church and state, and an advocate for fair dealings with Native Americans. In 1644, he received a charter creating the colony of Rhode Island, named for the principal island in Narragansett Bay. He is credited for originating either the first or second Baptist church established in America
King Philip's War Occurred in the spring of 1675 between colonists and Native American tribes under the direction of Metacom; Native Americans had to obey Puritan laws that interfered with their way of life; very costly war in terms of human life
Pope's RebellionA 1680 Indian uprising in colonial New Mexico led by Popé. The rebels killed two-thirds of the Spanish missionaries and drove Spaniards out of New Mexico for several years until they returned at the end of the 17th century
Bacon's Rebellion: Virginia 1676; planter Nathaniel Bacon and Virginia frontier settlers confronted colonial leaders about lack of representation in the House of Burgesses for frontier colonists. They wanted forts on the frontier to protect them from Native American attacks.
Salem Witch Trials Began in 1692 it was a series of accusations and hearings of people accused of witchcraft in Massachusetts; it was determined later that the accusations were false
1st Great Awakening Religious revival that lasted throughout the 1740s and 1750s to encourage individuals to rededicate themselves to God
Navigation Acts Series of laws restricting colonial trade: only goods from English/colonial ships could trade with the colonies, most of the crew had to be English, only certain goods could be exported to England, most goods had to pass through English ports
- Write a paragraph (at least 5 sentences) correctly using 10 of your vocabulary words.
- 4 corners: write one vocabulary word in each corner of a box. Explain how each pair of words is connected (see four corners activity from class)
Due Date: day of multiple choice portion of the test (end of September, early October- date TBD)
