Study Notes
John Locke and Liberalism

- Locke's liberalism emphasized limited government power, focusing on the individual's right to life, liberty, and property, and the need for consent of the governed
Colonial Society and Virtue
- A planter serving on their town council would be considered virtuous in colonial society
- This reflects the emphasis placed on civic engagement and public service as hallmarks of a virtuous citizen in colonial times
Enlightenment Principles
- Enlightenment ideas emphasized reason, scientific inquiry, and observation of nature
- A botanist studying nature to understand a plant's death would be considered an embodiment of Enlightenment principles
The Great Awakening

- Proponents of the Great Awakening would be most threatened by a predominantly Anglican state legislature because of its establishment of religion
Factors contributing to a lower number of French immigrants to North America

- This also contributed to the smaller French population compared to British colonies in North America
British Victory in the French and Indian War
- The British had more advanced weapons and technology than the French
- The larger colonial population provided a significant military advantage for the British
Enforcement of the Proclamation of 1763
- The vast geographic area covered by the proclamation made it difficult to enforce effectively

Quaker Principles during the French and Indian War

Colonial Assemblies and the Albany Plan of Union
- Colonial assemblies opposed the plan because they feared it would threaten the sovereignty of Parliament, which controlled colonial affairs
Olaudah Equiano's Writings
- Equiano wrote the eighteenth century's most widely read account of the slave experience, offering a firsthand perspective on the horrors of slavery
The Atlantic Trade
- Slave-grown crops played a significant role in the Atlantic trade, even though they were not the sole commodity exchanged
