England?s Imperial Stirrings North America North America in 1600 was largely unclaimed, though the Spanish had much control in Central and South America. Spain had only set up Santa Fe, while France had founded Quebec and Britain had founded Jamestown. In the 1500s, Britain didn?t really colonize because of internal conflicts. King Henry VIII broke with the Roman Catholic Church in the 1530s and launched the English Protestant Reformation. After Elizabeth I became queen, Britain became basically Protestant, and a rivalry with Catholic Spain intensified. In Ireland, the Catholics sought Spain?s help in revolting against England, but the English crushed the uprising with brutal atrocity, and developed an attitude of sneering contempt for natives.

Mr. Pecunia's Last Minute Regents Review Sheet for United States History The Critical Period: * Government under the Articles of Confederation * Weak Central Government; strong states * Shay's rebellion leads to calls for a stronger national government * Attempt to find a government strong enough to govern; not so strong as to threaten individual liberties The Constitution: * Constitution emerges as a "bundle of compromises" * Constitution creates powerful government, but divides power between states and national government (federalism), among the three branches of the national government (Separation of powers), and allows the different branches to check each other (checks and balances)

US History Movie List Early American History ? Black Robe ? This movie is about the earliest settlers and their attempts to Christianize the Indians. It involves a little violence and sex, but is mostly an introspective movie set in early colonial times The Crucible ? This concerns the Salem Witch Trials and is not completely accurate but close. The Last of the Mohicans ? An excellent movie and decent adaptation of the book, it is set during the French and Indian Wars. Notice the relationship between the colonists and the British and the expectations the British had of Colonial obedience. Remember, of course, that this is based on a book that was written in the 1800s, after the Revolutionary War.
