The Puritans established colonies in New England to escape religious persecution in England and build societies based on biblical principles. However, some Puritans like Thomas Hooker and Roger Williams left the Massachusetts Bay colony due to disagreements over the concentration of power. Anne Hutchinson was also ordered to leave after questioning Puritan teachings. Tensions rose between the colonists and Native Americans as the colonists expanded their settlements, culminating in King Philip's War in 1675. Towns and villages formed the basic social and religious structures in New England, centered around common areas, meeting houses, and town meetings.

New England Colonies
The Pilgrims fled religious persecution in England and arrived on the Mayflower in 1620, settling in Plymouth. Over half of the Pilgrims died the first winter due to harsh conditions. They survived with the help of the Wampanoag people, with whom they had the first Thanksgiving in 1621. The Puritans established the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630 to build a "city upon a hill" as a religious community separate from the Church of England. They prospered more quickly than earlier colonies and other New England colonies like Connecticut and Rhode Island were founded in the following decades, establishing religious freedom in the region.

Town hall meetings gave citizens a voice in decision making and representative assemblies passed laws, establishing foundations of American democracy.
6.2 Life in the Middle Colonies
The Middle Colonies attracted a mix of immigrants from Dutch, French, Belgian, and Swedish backgrounds who sought a better life. The Great Awakening religious movement in the region was led by George Whitefield and emphasized emotional, personal faith and tolerance of differing views. People of many religious groups lived together in the Middle Colonies and enjoyed community barn raisings and other social events in their free time. The largest city, Philadelphia, was purposefully designed and grew under leaders like Benjamin Franklin who established important civic institutions.

Answering Structured Essay Questions
Structured essay questions seek a structured answer from students regarding a taught topic. They are called "structured" because students must structure arguments to answer questions based on the information they have learned. This tests students' ability to formulate arguments rather than just their memory.

The document discusses the reasons for war breaking out in the Asia-Pacific region in the 1930s and 1940s. It explains that by the 1930s, Japan was actively pursuing an expansionist policy to gain more land, resources, and control of Asia. This brought Japan into conflict with other powers as it invaded Manchuria in 1931 and expanded further into China in 1937. Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 marked the outbreak of war in the Asia-Pacific region as it sought to prevent the US from hindering its campaigns in Southeast Asia for control of resources and territory.
History Of Singapore Before 1819
Singapore was originally known as Temasek and was part of the Srivijaya Empire based in Sumatra. In the 14th century, it was attacked by Siamese and Javanese groups and a fort was built to defend it. Chinese records from the 14th century refer to Temasek and mention Chinese traders living there. The story of a strongman named Badang throwing a large stone, now known as the Singapore Stone, provides evidence that Singapore has a long history dating back to between the 10th-14th centuries. Archaeological artifacts like jewelry, pottery, and porcelain found in Fort Canning Park also support human habitation in Singapore during this early period.

John Adams handled the conflict with France by sending diplomats to discuss neutral rights after French ships began seizing American vessels. The French agents demanded a bribe and loan before negotiating, known as the XYZ Affair. Adams told Congress but avoided war, instead strengthening the navy. The Federalist party split over whether to go to war with France, with Hamilton wanting war and Adams wanting to avoid it. The Alien and Sedition Acts raised states' rights issues by allowing deportation of aliens and criticism of government to be outlawed, which Jefferson and Republicans opposed by arguing states could nullify federal laws.

Many Americans distrusted political parties because they had seen how factions in Britain prioritized personal gain over public good. There were also concerns that parties could threaten national unity. While Hamilton favored a strong central government, Jefferson favored stronger state governments and a strict interpretation of the Constitution.
