[From 10$/Pg] Gomez Eannes De Azuara According to Professor Zinn, the Virginians of
1619 were desperate for labor. They could not force Indians to work for them, since they
were outnumbered and in constant fear of violent retribution. White servants had not been
brought over in sufficient numbers. Besides, once indentured servants paid off their debt,
they were free men. What was the solution to address the need for labor in the British
American colonies?A guest worker program.Controlled migration of a reliable labor
force.Black slaves.Importation of international workers.Question 2What is history?The
study of people across time.A knowledge production process.The study of the past to
understand the present.All of the above.Question 3How does Professor Takaki define the
concept of the Master Narrative of American History?American History is a narration of
colonially-derived events in which the emphasis is placed on European perspectives,
highlighting contributions made by white European immigrants.The Masters Narrative of
American History is part of a process of de-colonization that offers a series of Counter
Narratives of history from diverse perspectives pointing out contributions made by other
non-white immigrant groups, with a critical examination of the widely accepted, colonially-
derived story.A Counter Narrative that defines American history as constructed through the
contributions of immigrants and non-immigrants groups and shapes our understanding of
what is to be an American.All of the above.Question 4This type of evidence is found in the
historical record and it is defined as an object or document written or created during the
time under study. These sources were present during an experience or time period and
offer an inside view of a particular event.Primary sourceJudicial sourceFiduciary
sourceSecondary sourceQuestion 5In Common Sense, Thomas Paine persuasively presented
his reasoning for American Independence. What was Paine's main argument?America
would continue to participate, as a new nation, in the endless imperial European
wars.Within the British empire, the new nation's prospects knew no limits.The new nation
would be anchored by the principles of hereditary rule and monarchial government.The
new nation would become the home of freedom, “an asylum for mankind.”Question 6In
1838, the Jesuit priests who ran Georgetown University, the country’s top Catholic
university, needed money to keep it alive. To generate revenue, the priests decided to sell
272 slaves. Among them was a 2-month-old baby and her mother, and a 13 year old boy by

slaves from the West Coast of Africa to the Americas.RespondidoThe transportation of slave
from Central Africa to the West Coast.Question 8During the slave trade, the demand for
labor in the western hemisphere stimulated a profitable three legged pattern between the
Americas, Europe and Africa known as:The Europe-Africa-Americas Free Trade
Agreement.The Dutch Trading CompanyThe Triangular Trade.The Royal African Trading
Company.Question 9According to archeological evidence, how many known migration
theories exist?OneTenFiveThreeQuestion 10Derived from a mechanism adopted in 1783 to

Pastime ActThe three fifths clausePatriot ActQuestion 11The process by which people of the
Americas come into contact with European invaders is known as:Colombian

12Considered by many historians as one of the most successful and influential pamphlets in
the history of political writing, Thomas Paine’s Common Sense is a groundbreaking work
that intends to expand dramatically the public sphere where political discussion took place.
According to Paine, what was the historical importance of the American
Revolution?America is not a nation of immigrants.The new nation would become the home
of freedom, “an asylum for mankind.”Without the control of the British Empire, America’s
prospects were unlimited.The pamphlet acclaims the principles of hereditary rule and
monarchial government.Question 13Published in 1776, Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations
describes the discovery of America as one of “the two greatest and most important events
recorded in the history of mankind.” Smith’s work primarily focuses on the economic
results of the conquest and colonization of the Americas. How does Smith describe the
results of colonization?The influx of goods from the New World greatly increased the
enjoyment of the people of Europe and the market for European goods.Indigenous
populations of the New World suffered a dramatic decline in population due to epidemics,
wars of conquest, and the exploitation of their labor.Benefits for some went hand in hand
with dreadful misfortunes for others.All of the above.Question 14The Revolutionary War
split the people from the American colonies into two factions, the Patriots and the Loyalists.
During the American Revolution, many Indian nations tried to stay out of the conflict. Some
sided with the Patriots, and those who fought with the Loyalists were not the king's pawns:
they allied with the Crown as the best hope of protecting their homelands from the
encroachments of American colonists and land speculators. What statement is true about
the participation of Native Americans during the American Revolution?Indians fought on
the side of the Patriots, since they were invested in protecting Western European
civilization.Native Americans knew that the Revolution was an effort to include them as part
of a new nation, allowing them to enjoy the same liberties and equality under the law, thus
they fought on the side of the PatriotsIndians fought in the Revolution for Indian liberties
and Indian homelands, not for the British empire.Native American nations felt the British
government protected their lands through the Royal Proclamation of 1763, thus fought on
the side of the Loyalists.Question 15In 1637, Thomas Morton wrote about the experience of
settlers in the New World. How did Thomas Morton described Indian life in New
England?Presented Indian life devoid of debauchery.Morton condemned some aspects of

3. Indian life, claiming that their religious beliefs amounted to devil worship, but admired
their generosity and the fact that unlike Europeans, they were not obsessed with
superfluous commodities.Morton was non-judgmental about Indian life, society, and
religion.Morton praised Native American’s appreciation of private property.Question 16The
Revolutionary War split the people from the American colonies into two factions, the
Patriots and the Loyalists. During the American Revolution, slaves fought for both sides,
providing manpower to both the revolutionaries and the British. What statements are true
about the participation of African Americans during the American Revolution?Their actions
during the war were often decided by what they believed would best help them throw off
the shackles of slavery.Most believed that victory by the British would lead to the end of
slavery.Slaves did not need encouragement to strike for freedom; they considered their
chances for freedom and seemed on the edge of revolt.All of the above.Question
17Historical authenticity, that is separating myth from fact, and the veracity of methods and
sources are known in history as:Histrionics and Episcopal.Hysterics and
Epilogue.Historicity and Epistemology.Heuristics and Etymology.Question 18What
statements are true about the participation of women during the American
Revolution?Women took on many roles in the Revolutionary War.Some of these roles were
traditional while others were unconventional and even scandalous for the time.From
supportive jobs like nurses, cooks and maids to more direct roles such as secret soldiers and
spies, these women participated in America’s independence.All of the aboveQuestion
19Pressed for funds because of the enormous expenses it had incurred in fighting the Seven
Year’s War, the British Parliament for the first time attempted to raise money from direct
taxes in the colonies rather than through the regulation of trade. In 1765, the passage of this
act inspired the first major split between colonists and Great Britain. The act required that
all sorts of printed material produced in the colonies carry a stamp purchased from the
authorities. What is the name of this Act?The Stomp Act.The Stamp Act.The Storm Act.The
Fugitive Slave Act.Question 20Professor Takaki argues that due to negative images of
Africans, English planters felt hesitant about populating their colonies with Calibans. Thus,
in the early decades of the Virginia colony, planters chose to rely on what kind of servants to
meet their labor needs?North African slaves.Eastern European slaves.Indigenous people
from the Caribbean.Indentured servants recruited from England, Germany, and Ireland.
