Kamalei Correa Exam 1 1) Did Early Americans have control over their environment? Why or why not? List 5 factors that support your argument. - Early Americans were not familiar with their environment upon reaching North America. Due to this they, could not really cultivate and had a scarce food supply. Many settlers died during this time due to the harsh winter conditions and lack of nutrition.

List 5 pieces of evidence to support your answer. - The shot heard around the world was most important in world history, because it is now used as a common term. It was also used when Archduke Franz Ferdinand was killed causing the world to plunge into World War 1. I feel that it is more significant to world matters, because it helped to shape American and make it the great nation it is today, thus affecting the rest of the world power countries and worldwide trade. Essay #2: Was the American Revolution rooted in class struggle? - The American Revolution was the struggle that dealt with the controls of Great Britain. Similar to that revolution, they were trained to believe that they’re new patriots such as George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Sam Adams, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, James Otis, and the sons of liberty. In reality there were two American Revolutions. The revolution against British command by Americans and the uprising against rich American traders and supporters by the common people of America.My opinion is that the American Revolution was not rooted in a class struggle because the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution were class struggles. The American Revolution was a war for independence from a severe power that was demanding the weak colonies unfairly and unreasonably. It was fought for America's independence. A revolution is a complaint about the society, which happened in France, but in America the thing that changed in every day life was the raising in taxes.
