Questions 8-10 are based on the following excerpt from John Winthrop, “A Model of Christian Charity” (1630). In 1630 Puritans established the Massachusetts Bay Colony. On the journey across the Atlantic Ocean, John Winthrop, the first governor of the colony, gave this speech, which outlines how Puritans saw themselves, their place in the world, and their relationship with God. This speech was Winthrop’s vision for the new colony.

Question 10

10.

An immediate, first-hand account from someone who had a direct connection to the topic is always considered a(n) ___________ source.

primary

secondary

biased

unbiased

A benefit of secondary sources is that they are

typically more reliable because the author provides specific details from events that they personally experienced.

unbiased because they are created by someone who did not experience the event directly.

helpful responses to historical events that can provide us with insightful (interesting/new) ideas and perspectives on a topic.

only written by the leaders of a society whose authority should never be questioned.

Question 3

3.

The early years at Jamestown were mainly characterized by

economic prosperity (lots of money/wealth) and financial stability.

major technological development and innovation (creation).

long-lasting peace with Native Americans.

starvation, desperation (hopelessness), and conflict with Native Americans.

Disney’s interpretation of the story of Pocahontas is a clear example of how history can be

used to teach young children lessons about the past.

twisted to portray a specific narrative that favors one group of people (makes one group of people look good).

unbiased with specific and accurate details from the past.

inspirational to the art and culture of a society.

Which statement most accurately describes Puritan society?

Puritans adhered to (followed) a strict moral code about what is right and wrong.

Puritans were tolerant (supportive) of all different religions.

Puritans were trusting and practical people.

Puritans were cooperative (worked well) with Native American tribes.

The Salem Witch Trials were the result of

hatred towards the nearby Native American community.

a colony in economic distress (financial hardship) that needed to raise funds (money).

uneven social and religious conditions for men and women.

an overpopulation of women in the colony.

Winthrop states that the Massachusetts Bay Colony is seen as a “city upon a hill” because the Puritans are

located in an unusually elevated area.

seen as a model for a religious society.

an example of tolerance (support) and peace.

the first colony in North America.

As used in line 3, “withdraw” most nearly means

forgive

offer

remove

regret

Based on the passage, one can reasonably infer that, in regards to the Salem Witch Trials, John Winthrop would have

supported the trials in the name of God and religious purity.

not supported the trials because they disproportionately (unfairly) targeted women.

supported the trials in the name of religious tolerance.

not supported the trials because God would not have approved of them.

The facial reconstruction (of the skull) is considered a

primary source because diary entries from the time period prove that Jane was a real person.

primary source because Owsley’s descendants lived in Jamestown.

secondary source because it is a model of what Jane might have looked like based on the bones discovered at the colony.

secondary source because there is no real evidence that Jane was a settler in Jamestown.
