Hey Everyone,
So our APUSH teacher was nice enough to give us the 3 prompts that will be on our FRQ for our Unit 1 exam, using The American Pageant, 12th edition.
Out of the one's she gave us, I think I'm going to choose: "Compare the ways in which 2 of the following reflect tensions in colonial society. 1) Bacon's Rebellion...2)Witchcraft Trials....3)Massacre at Mistic.
I was wondering if I could get some help here for developing my FRQ, as well as any tips on writing it, since this is my first one! Here's some ideas I got already.
-Massacre at Mistic showed disunity amongst the colonists and the Native Indians
-Bacon's Rebellion showed the social gap between poor, landless farmers and the plantation owners.
-Witchcraft trials created a stereotype amongst colonists against (generally) women who were higher in the social class. They also used the 'witches' as scapegoats for problems in colonial society.
Any more help would be appreciated! Thanks guys!
