    The New England Colonies became known for shipbuilding, lumbering, fishing, and trading. The soil in this region was rocky, making farming difficult.

    Who were the servants who would work for someone to pay for the trip to America.  It was very hard work that they were required to do.

    • Indentured Servants

    • Chattel Slavery

    Correct Answer
    A. Indentured Servants
    Explanation
    Indentured servants were individuals who agreed to work for a specified period of time in exchange for passage to America. They were typically poor Europeans who could not afford the cost of the journey themselves. The work they were required to do was often physically demanding and labor-intensive. Unlike chattel slavery, indentured servitude was a temporary arrangement, with the servant eventually gaining their freedom after fulfilling their contractual obligations.

    Chattel slavery is the correct answer because unlike indentured servants who had a limited period of servitude, chattel slaves were considered property and had no rights or freedom. They were bought, sold, and owned for life, with no possibility of gaining their freedom. Chattel slavery was a system that dehumanized and oppressed individuals, denying them basic human rights and perpetuating a cycle of bondage.

    • More money and supplies

    • More men to help out with the organization

    • Tickets back to England

    Correct Answer
    A. 90 single women
    Explanation
    The Virginia Company sent over 90 single women to America so that the men would stay. This suggests that the company believed that by providing the men with potential partners, they would be more likely to settle down in America rather than returning to England. The presence of women could also help establish families and create a sense of stability in the colony.

    Correct Answer
    A. 1620
    Explanation
    In 1620, the Pilgrims arrived in America. This is the correct answer because it is historically documented that the Pilgrims, a group of English Separatists seeking religious freedom, landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620. They established the Plymouth Colony and played a significant role in the early history of America.

    • Indentured Servants

    • Chattel Slavery

    Correct Answer
    A. Indentured Servants
    Explanation
    Indentured servants became free after 4-7 years. Indentured servitude was a labor system in which individuals signed a contract to work for a specific period of time in exchange for passage to a new country or other benefits. After fulfilling their contract, indentured servants were granted their freedom and could pursue their own interests. This system was common in colonial America, particularly during the 17th and 18th centuries, and provided a means for individuals to start a new life in exchange for temporary servitude.

    • Middle Colonies

    • Southern Colonies

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The Southern Colonies were able to produce the "money crops" like tobacco, rice, and indigo. This is because the climate and soil in the Southern Colonies were well-suited for these crops. The warm climate and fertile soil provided ideal growing conditions, allowing for successful cultivation and high yields. As a result, these crops became major cash crops for the Southern Colonies, contributing significantly to their economy and wealth.
