Settlers in North America; from Pilgrims to Colonists {1600-1740}
We just briefly touched on the Pilgrims, the Iroquois and the other woodland tribes and the 13 colonies this week. We will be going into this in more detail at the beginning of next year's studies right after Labor Day, but I wanted to look at them briefly now so they can see them in context to the other things going on in the world during this time period. Here are some of the resources we used this week and some that we will be using in the fall.
