Okay, I am looking for someone to explain and answer these test questions (these are not test questions; they are just from a study guide).
Anyone who is willing to help, that will be appreacited.


Test 1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Compare and contrast the origins and development of Britains tobacco colonies and its Puritan colonies.

Discuss the roles played by religious groups in shaping Britains colonies. You should include articles presented in the Nash reader in your essay.

Discuss the impact of sugar cultivation upon the British colonial empire, 1650-1750.

Discuss the development of slavery and slave resistance in the mainland colonies.  You should include articles presented in the Nash reader in your essay.

Why did the thirteen mainland colonies rebel against Britain?  Why did they win their independence


Test 2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Compare and contrast the powers and relationship of the federal and state governments under the Articles of Confederation and under the Constitution.  Your answer should take into account the discussion about competing cultures in the Nash book.

 

Describe the competing visions that Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson had for American society, and the degree to which each of these visions had become a reality by 1815.

 
Discuss the impacts of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars on the United States, 1789-1815.


Discuss Andrew Jacksons impact upon the United States as a general and President, 1814-1837.

 
 Discuss the evolution of slavery and the slave-holding system in the Southern states during the period from the Revolution to the 1850s.         



Test 3

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Discuss the United States expansion movement and process during the period from 1836 to 1867.  Why did the United States absorb certain regions, but not others?

 

Discuss the nature of immigration to the United States and the impact of immigrants for different regions in the United States from 1836 to the 1870s.

 

Discuss the process through which the eleven Confederate states chose to secede from the United States.  Why did these states and not others secede?

 

Why did the Union fight and win the Civil War?

 

Discuss Reconstruction after the Civil War.  Why did the Reconstruction process evolve as it did?
