Period 3: 1754–1800 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 41 terms and is the same for everyone, so a teacher can assign “Unit 3, Paper 1” 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 2 (required). Read the source. "Englishman, you know that the French king is our father. He promised to be such; and we, in return, promised to be his children. This promise we have kept.... Englishman,...you have not yet conquered us! We are not your slaves. These lakes, these woods and mountains, were left to us by our ancestors. They are our inheritance; and we will part with them to none.... Englishman, your king has never sent us any [diplomatic] presents, nor entered into any treaty with us, wherefore he and we are still at war; and, until he does these things, we must consider that we have no other father, nor friend, among the white men, than the king of France."
