spell out all the vocabulary terms. When
a person spells out a term, his or her
partner should say the definition out
loud. Students should trade roles until all

Commerce and Religion
One American’s Story
Like many other New England Puritans, Captain Thomas
Smith had grown rich through commerce. In this selfportrait from 1680, he displays his wealthy clothes and
surroundings. He was proud of his achievements: the
painting includes a scene of a naval battle in which he
may have fought. Smith enjoyed his worldly success. But
as a Puritan, he was also torn between the joys of this
world and the need to prepare for the next. So under the
skull appears a religious poem that begins
• List three questions you have about the Salem
witchcraft trials of 1692. Then find a partner
and predict answers to each other’s questions.
(Have students compare their notes with the
text after reading Section 1.)

Therein a World of Evils finding.
Then Farewell World: Farewell thy Jarres [conflicts]
Thy Joies thy Toies thy Wiles thy Warrs
”
—poem in Captain Thomas Smith’s self-portrait
The poem reveals a man who was aware of both the “evils” and the “joys”
and “toys” of this world. Like other New Englanders, Captain Smith struggled
to balance his religious life with his commercial success.

The Resources of New England
• Why do you think New England was the most
populated colonial region? (Possible Answers:
An early Puritan colony started there, and
people followed those they knew; the resources
were abundant and relatively easy to exploit.)
KEY QUESTION Why did England pass the Navigation Acts?
By the 1700s, the colonies formed several distinct regions: New England,
Backcountry, which ran
the Middle Colonies, the Southern Colonies and the Backcountry
through the far western edges of the colonies. Of all the colonial regions,
New England was the most populated. Its people grew rich by cleverly
exploiting the region’s resources.

• Analyze Causes and Effects How did
New England’s location near the sea affect its
development? (Whaling and fishing became
major economic activities; forests provided
timber to build ships.)
