Period 2: 1607–1754 unit test

A test on this unit alone, marked as a percentage and a letter grade — for the test your class is actually sitting, rather than for May. Answer everything, then submit once: seeing the answer to question 3 before attempting question 4 makes the final percentage meaningless.

Each paper is built from this unit’s 29 terms and is the same for everyone, so a teacher can assign “Unit 2, Paper 2” and every student sits the identical test. Multiple choice is marked objectively; the written sections you mark yourself against the model answer and rubric.

SHORT-ANSWER QUESTION. Read the description of the source. Source — John Winthrop, "A Model of Christian Charity," a lay sermon delivered to the Puritan migrants of the Massachusetts Bay Company, 1630. Winthrop argues that God has deliberately arranged human society so that some are rich and some poor, some powerful and some subject, so that people will need one another and be knit together in mutual affection. He tells the migrants that they have entered into a covenant with God: if they keep its terms, God will bless the colony far beyond ordinary expectation; if they fail, God will withdraw and make them a byword among nations. He closes by telling them the eyes of all people are upon them, and that their community will stand as a model that the world will judge.

A. Briefly describe one purpose of Winthrop in delivering this address.

B. Briefly explain how one development in seventeenth-century New England reflected the ideas expressed in the source.

C. Briefly explain one way the society of seventeenth-century New England differed from that of the Chesapeake colonies.
