yeah, so my history teacher gave us an online test.... i forgot to bring my book home- now i need help >.< cuz i'm pretty stupid when it comes to history
true or false?
1. Governor James Oglethorpe worked hard at establishing strong
relations between British rule and the Scots-Irish. (false, right???)
2. The vast majority of Naval Stores were located in New England. (true? under the assumption that NE had the most maritime economy...)
3. In the seventeenth-century Judaism was centralized in the colonies
to the north-east. (was judaism even around?)
4. The first missionary school for Native Americans was Brown. (i just don't know if it's T or F)
5. Lotteries were established to raise funds for churches and colleges. (T or F??)
6. Taverns were well established centers for the entire community. (i know taverns were important... but well established?)
7. Powdered dried toad was a favorite prescription for smallpox. (i'm tempted to say true)
yeah.. so if anyone could help me, i'd be SERIOULSY grateful >.<
i have a bajllion more questions, btw. :(
1. I'm pretty sure it's false.
2. Pretty sure it's true.
3. I can't ever remember hearing anything about Jewish life being centered in the northeast; even if there had been Jews there, I would imagine that the radical Puritans would have gotten rid of them pretty quick. So yeah, probably false.
4. Dunno; Google or Wikipedia it.
5. Same as above.
6. I'm pretty sure that one was true; aside from taverns, there really weren't a whole lot of social gathering places for people in the early days of the colonies.
7. No idea.
