The Growth of the English colonies. - The other important part of this unit.

Can you identify the 13 colonies by name and the region they are located in?
What are the colonial regions?
You will need to know important information from each region - characteristics of that region.
What was each region like?
How are they different from each other?
Your three regional quizzes will help you here.

• What are the Separatists giving themselves the right to do in this document?
• What do they promise?
• What does the document say? Remember, we rewrote it in class.
