About Colonial America
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
The material follows the colonial story in order. Early items look at the Columbian Exchange, Spanish colonisation and the first European settlements. The slide set Unit 2 — Early Colonies compares French, Dutch and English attempts, from Quebec and New Amsterdam to Roanoke. Later items move on to Jamestown, the Chesapeake, New England and the Puritans, the Mid-Atlantic colonies, slavery, the Great Awakening and the French & Indian War.
Where to start
If you want an overview, begin with a mind map. APUSH Unit 2 Test Review branches from Jamestown and Bacon's Rebellion to King Philip's War, borderlands and the Glorious Revolution. Period 2: Colonial Society looks at hierarchy, plantation owners and the professions. For early contact, The Columbian Exchange sorts animals, plants, diseases and people.
- Read a mind map to see the shape of the topic.
- Learn terms with a deck such as Jamestown Vocabulary.
- Take a quiz to test what stuck.
Using quizzes and maps together
Quizzes show you what you can recall. APUSH Period 1 Multiple Choice covers the earliest migrants and pre-Columbian cultures, while APUSH Period 2 Multiple Choice asks about the Navigation Acts and English colonial policy. When you miss a question, go back to the matching map branch and read it again. The APUSH Midterm Practice Exam is a good check once you have worked through several topics. The page also has chapter notes, including a set based on Eric Foner's Give Me Liberty, for a fuller read.
Who it suits
Most resources are pitched at secondary level, so they suit school students working towards AP US History or A-level History. Teachers can pull out slides, quizzes and flowcharts for lessons. A few items suit university students too, such as the HIST 7A chapter quizzes.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to The Americas strand of History. Choose one topic that you find hardest, work through its map and quiz, and then make a set of flashcards of your own.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with a mind map for the big picture. APUSH Unit 2 Test Review links Jamestown, the Chesapeake, New England, the Mid-Atlantic colonies and the Glorious Revolution. Then try APUSH Period 2 Multiple Choice to see which areas need more work, and return to the map for those branches.
Which exams do these resources relate to?
The listed resources mention AP US History, AP United States History and A-level History. Most of the material is at secondary level, so it suits school students preparing for those courses. A smaller share is aimed at university courses, such as the HIST 7A chapter quizzes.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover topics such as the Columbian Exchange, Spanish colonisation, the Thirteen Colonies, the regions of British colonies, the Great Awakening, slavery and the French & Indian War. There are over 500 maps, so you can usually find one for the topic you are revising.
Are the resources free, and who made them?
Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary. A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.
Is there anything for learning key terms and people?
Yes. Flashcard decks such as Jamestown Vocabulary, Pilgrims v Puritans by Sean Green and APUSH Period 1 People, Places, Terms, Events help with names, places and vocabulary. Use them before a quiz, then test yourself again afterwards to see what you remember.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Try nearby topics first. Related items on the Thirteen Colonies, Jamestown, Puritans or imperial wars often cover the same ground under different titles. If the gap remains, you can build your own map, quiz or flashcards on the topic and use them in your revision.
