Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.115 Atlantic World Networks of People, Goods, and Ideas skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Interpreting a claim: Claim: "The American Revolution was partly an argument about how to run the British Empire." Evidence: colonists cite English rights; argue about taxation and trade rules; seek allies in France and the Netherlands.

Which evaluation best fits the claim and evidence?

AThe evidence proves colonists never mentioned Britain

BThe evidence proves the Revolution had no foreign alliances

CThe evidence shows trade rules were never debated

DThe evidence supports viewing the Revolution as both intra-imperial conflict and a break toward independence

Solution & Explanation:Because colonists argued using English rights and reacted to imperial trade and taxation, the conflict began within the empire, but alliances and independence pushed it beyond reform.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Research framing: A student wants to use an 'Atlantic history' approach rather than studying the Revolution only inside the thirteen colonies.

Which research question best fits an Atlantic World approach?

AWhat was the weather in one town on one day in 1774?

BHow many chairs were in one meetinghouse in 1770?

CA good Atlantic-history question asks how trade, war, and ideas moved between regions

DWhich single colonist had the neatest handwriting?
