The creators of your textbook, American Yawp, entitled chapter three “British North America.” Think about what you’ve read in chapters 3 and 4. The information in those chapters (and any previous chapters read to-date) give you context (or background/the bigger picture) for the information provided in the primary source documents listed below. Using all of this information, consider the textbook editors’ labeling chapter 3 “British North America.” Why might they have used that title? What supports their decision? What challenges it? Do you think the title is a fair representation of early America? Does the title represent the lived experiences of people in North America?

Answer these questions in your initial post to this week’s discussion forum. You must start your own thread to make your initial post.
