I need help. Now.

I need info on..:

1. The settlement and treatment of the American colonies (including native populations) by the English and Spanish monarchies PRIORRR to 1700.

2. The political institutions of the British North American colonies prior to 1700..

3. The extent to which religious freedom existed in the British North American colonies prior to 1700.

and and and I need to assess the validity of the following statement with specific references to economic and religious concerns. "Economic concerns had more to do with the settling of British North American than did religious concerns"

any help, info, tips (I'm using American Pageant. All of this stuff is based on chapters 1-3) would be WONDERFUL!
