In this module, you have read about the early foundations of
what would become the United States. You have studied pre-Columbian
cultures, the impact of connecting the Old World and the New World.
You have studied the reasons people came to the colonies (some of
their own free will and others not) and the squabbling of the Old
World Powers. All this happened in a place known as the Atlantic
World. The Atlantic World consists of all those places touching the
Atlantic Ocean from Africa to England, the Caribbean, the American
Colonies and more. Swirling around this Atlantic world, as you have
learned, were ideas, technologies, trade, armies, navies, people,
and more. It was the highway of the age. Many people chose to come
to America. In this discussion, you are to pull it all together and
travel the Atlantic to one of the new colonies. To be successful
with your main post, you must:
Create a character who is a german, indentured servant in the
1700s (with name)
Develop a backstory (who you are, when you were born, where you
came from, etc.)
Give your reasons for coming to a colony in early America
Discuss the journey
Talk about your arrival and where you settled (your geographic
location)
Talk about the new life you live (what you do for a living, the
food you eat, the things you do for entertainment, etc)
