In this unit, students explore how geography, economics, culture, and government shaped the development of the American colonies. Students examine the experiences and perspectives of diverse groups, including European colonists, Native Americans, indentured servants, and enslaved Africans. Throughout the unit, students consider how a distinct colonial identity began to emerge and how early ideas about government, rights, and participation laid the foundation for future change. Students will also practice analyzing historical sources, evaluating perspectives, and using evidence to support their conclusions.
