CLEP US History I

Category - Politics

Which of the following describes the relationship among the British colonies in the New World in the 17th and early 18th centuries?
  1. Highly unified by region
  2. Virtually non-existent
  3. Showing signs of emerging nationalism
  4. Lacking in clear leadership
  5. Dominated by the larger colonies
Explanation
Answer: B - The colonies did not have strong relationships with each other since they had their own governments and little need to communicate. While trade among neighboring colonies occurred, there were not many reasons for them to communicate across regions. Their cultures were also very diverse, as were their economies. For example, the aristocratic South had more in common with Europe than the New England colonies.
