Settlement Chart Notes:

When completing the charts follow the example given for Plymouth. Please note that the Plymouth colony and Massachusetts Bay began as two separate settlements with two very different governmental structures. Please be sure to note the differences. From there, move through the different colonies as you read about them in chapters 2 – 5, filling in the chart as you go. This chart is an excellent study guide for the AP Exam, and will help begin to develop the themes that will lead to division in the United States and lead directly to the Civil War.

The charts are divided by region. You will have to ensure that the various colonies end up on the correct chart in order to help with the regional development themes that we will cover. The first colony in British North America is Virginia. The next one is Plymouth. Follow on from there.
