APUSH- Chapter 3

The principal motivation shaping the earliest settlements in New England was 

• the desire for political freedom 
• religious commitment and devotion 
• economic opportunity and the chance of a better life. 
• a spirit of adventure and interest in epxloring the New World 

Compared with the Plymouth Colony, the Massachusetts Bay Colony was 

• dedicated to complete seperation from the Church of England 
• afflicted with corrupt and incompetent leaders 
• more focuse on religious rather than political liberty 
• larger and more prosperous economically

One reason that the Massachusetts Bay Colony was not a true democracy is that 

• only church members could vote for the governor and the General Court 
• political offices were dominated by the clergy 
• people were not permitted to discuss issues freely in their own towns 
• the governor and his assistans were appointed rather than elected.

The essential heresy that cause Anne Hutchinson to be convicted and banished from Massachusetts Bay was her declared belief that 

• the gov't of John Winthrop was corrupt and tyrannical 
• the Puritan elect were just as singful and those who had been "predestined" to damnation 
• She had received a direct revelation from God that the saved did not need to obey either human or divine law 
• the Bible did not teach that a personal conversion experience was necessary for salvation 

Roger Williams based the religious freedom of his colony of Rhode Island on his belief that 

• it really did not matter what religious beliefs people held, because all were more or less equal
• the corrupt Massachusetts Bay colony had proved that religious uniformity did not work 
• political democracy inevitably required freedom of speech and religion 
• civil gov't had no right to regulate religious behavior or individual conscience 

Which of the following New England settlements did not become a separate colony, but remained under the direct control of Massachusetts?

• Connecticut 
• New Hampshire 
• New Haven 
• Maine 

The Indian tribe that the Pilgrim colonists in New England first encountered were the 

• Iroquois 
• Wampanoags
• Narragansetts 
• Hurons 

King Philip's War represented 

• the 1st serious military conflict between New England colonists and the English King 
• an example of the disastrous divisions among the Wampanoags, Pequots, and Narragansetts 
• the last major Indian effort to halt New Englanders' encroachment on their land 
• a relatively minor conflict in terms of actual fighting and casualties 

The primary value of the New England Confederation lay in 

• restoring harmony between Rhode Island and the other New England colonies 
• Promoting better relations between New ENgland colonists and their Indian neighbors 
• enabling the smaller New England colonies to obtain equality with Massachusetts
• providing the first small step on the road to intercolonial cooperation 

The event that sparked the collapse of the Dominion of New England was 

• King Philip's War 
• the revocation of the Massachusetts Bay Colony's charter 
• Governor Andros's harsh attacks on colonial liberties 
• the Glorious Revolution in England
