(Originais Teachy 2024) - Question Hard of History

During the colonial period, the Thirteen Colonies were under British influence and administration, but each developed economic, social, and political particularities that eventually led to events like the American Revolution. The interaction of the colonists with indigenous peoples, the institution of slavery, and the differences between the northern and southern colonies shaped a new identity and perspective among the inhabitants of these lands. In 'A People's History of the United States,' historian Howard Zinn states that 'the history of the United States has been like a race between the forest fires of privilege and the future of a true democracy.' Based on this critical perspective, analyze the process of the formation of the United States from the Thirteen Colonies and: 1) Discuss how the relationships established between the colonists and indigenous peoples, as well as slavery, were reflected in the internal tensions that led to the formation of an independent nation. 2) Evaluate how the economic and social disparities between the northern and southern colonies influenced the development of different models of society and governance, and how these differences exacerbated conflicts during the independence process and in the construction of the republic.
