Question 26
Discuss the factors that contributed to a population explosion in North America from 1680 to 1750.
How and why did immigrants of the eighteenth century differ from those of the previous century? Did
America prove to be their land of opportunity?
Selected
Answer:
Between 1680 and 1750 population jumped from 150,000 settlers in 1680 to more than
one million come about the end of 1700s. Talk about an explosion. A high marriage rate,
large families, lower mortality, and heavy immigration accounted for much of the
population boom. The way people lived hard change dramatically throughout. The north
became a farming society, the south became the plantation society, and large cities
became the urban society. Even though the centuries share many key aspects, things
were changing, the gap between the rich and poor was growing, class difference were
becoming more apparent. But, this was a land of opportunity and the opportunities were
there.
Correct
Answer: The population explosion in North America from 1680 to 1750 was fed from both internal
and external sources. Among whites, a higher marriage rate, larger families, and lower
mortality rate than in Europe prevailed by the 1720s. Immigrants of this era arrived from
Germany, Switzerland, Ireland, and Africa rather than England, and they were mostly
indentured servants and slaves. Only a small proportion of the eighteenth-century
arrivals achieved their dream of becoming independent landholders.

Discuss the causes and important developments of the Seven Years' War in North America. Analyze
the consequences of the war for the various "winners" and "losers."
Selected
Answer:
Causes: The desire of both France and Britain to control Fur Trade. A clash at the Ohio
River Valley.
Most important development: The British take-over of French strongholds.
Winners:
Britain. Resulting in no real consequences, not immediate at least. The end of the Seven
Years War was a change of tides, Britain had now replaced France as the leading world
power. The war was costly, though, result in more taxes, which in a way leads to the
American Revolution. A vengeful France would manifest significant aid for the
Revolution.
Losers:
France and Indians. This would result in severe consequences. The French would have
to give up anything they've laid claim to in the New World, except New Orleans. This in
itself ended any hope of France creating a New World empire in America, resulting in a
huge loss of power. The tribes lost a powerful ally and a way to combat the ever
advancing British from their territories.
Correct
Answer: English colonial penetration of the Ohio Valley provoked French resistance in 1754.
Although the French dominated during the early years of war, William Pitt as England's
prime minister was committed to winning. English victory in 1763 removed French and
Spanish threats to eastern North America, but resulted in heavy debts and increased
administrative problems. The end of European rivalry harmed the trading position of
interior Indians and left them hostile to further English advances, while American
colonists anticipated westward expansion and relished a sense of American identity.

Question 78
Discuss the difficulties Americans faced in raising, equipping, and maintaining an army.
Selected
Answer:
It is actually astounding that we made it through this conflict because The Continental
Congress had no authority to raise an army. We had no means to supply and support a
war of such magnitude. State, nor Congress could effectively administer a war effort
such a size. This war had to be funded and the only way that could have happened was
through high taxation. The troops themselves just weren't prepared for all that war had
to offer. The British were an experienced army. The Americans had no such training at
the beginning of the war and lacked discipline. It took some amount of training to stand
in the battle line and resist a professional bayonet charge without breaking and running
for the hills. Morale, in the beginning, was high, but steadily declined. The days of war
had taken their toll. This then became the sad tale of a rich man's war, poor man's
blood.

Answer: At the war's beginning, men of all ranks enlisted in their state militias and the continental
army. Throughout the war, both the states and Congress failed to provide sufficient food,
clothing, and supplies. Recruitment became more difficult as the war progressed.

Describe the XYZ affair.
Selected
Answer:
The French, offended by Jay's treaty, began to violate the terms of the Treaty of
Alliance with France (Franco-American Treaty) causing it to end. So in response to
such, John Adams sent over a commission to negotiate with Talleyrand (French foreign
minister). Negotiations weren't so great, the three secret french agents told American
delegates that they could meet with the minister only in exchange for a handsome
bribe, the US denied. This all led up to Naval Battles between the US and France, this
was an undeclared war called Quasi-War. This "war" resulted in an increase in the size
of both Navies. But an already pre-occupied France, battling Britain, quickly realized
that fighting two fronts probably isn't the best idea. The X Y Z in the name are derived
from the secret agents, as made public to Congress by John Adams. This was a
chance for us to flex our guns, it made John Adams look strong.
Correct
Answer: When John Adams assumed office, a crisis between France and the United States over
French interference with American vessels took place. Adams sent three
commissioners to Paris to resolve the situation. The French dignitaries who received
the Americans demanded a loan in the form of a bribe. Adams reported the incident to
Congress, and Federalists exploited the affair.
