Welcome to my American history class! This first hexter we will be learning about Colonial America. We will examine all that encompassed that particular period of history: how colonialism in the New World started, the English and their attempts to colonize, focusing on Jamestown; the genesis of the slave trade in the New World; religious dissent in the colonies and the Salem Witch Trials; the Great Awakening, and concluding with the French and Indian War. It's a lot, but I hope we can get to it all. It should be an interesting six weeks, and I look forward to it...see you all soon!
