HIST553 History of Colonial America

Week 8 Forum

The Mixing of Cultures

Congratulations, we have made it to Week 8. For this Forum, this more of your opinion. I know that you are busy with your historiographies, so perhaps this will give you a moment to catch your breath.

Based upon the numerous factors examined in this course, what do you personally consider to be the most critical theme in American colonial history and justify your choice.

For this Forum I'll be looking for causation and segues to history from the upcoming decades as the United States attempts to define themselves as a new nation.
