Chapter 3 Review Study Guide (page 40 in ISN) II. Similarities (1 pt each) 1. The U.S. Constitution is similar to the Mayflower Compact. 2.

Separatists were Puritans who wanted to separate from the Church of England in order to form their own congregation and practice their faith in peace. The shared the same religious beliefs. 5. Events that were similar to Quaker’s actions and beliefs include: The American Revolution, The Civil War, Women’s Suffrage (women’s rights), Civil Rights Movement, etc. 6. The Appalachian Mountains restricted colonist’s growth, acting as a Western border; impacted ability to travel West and trade, settle land; barrier that kept them near to the coast. III.

Cash crops, like tobacco plantations, made the Southern colonies unique. 4. People in all three of the regions adapted to different ways of life because they had different geographies, climates, and resources. 5. The colony most motivated to make a profit was Virginia. 6. The region most dependent upon the ocean for its economy was New England. 7. The colony founded to hopefully prevent the Spanish from attacking other colonies was Georgia.
