Review- Colonial Governments
There were three types of governments in the English colonies during the 1600s. These governments
were royal, proprietary, or self-governing.

Relevance
•  Do all countries use the same currency?
•  No! Many times when you travel to another country you
have to exchange American dollars for the currency used
in the country you are visiting
•  What would it be like today if you had to use a different
kind of currency when you went to another state?
•  After the American revolution the states were like
separate little countries. All of the states used a different
currency.
•  This was only one of the problems of national
government after the American Revolution.
•  We are going to see that the government that was in
place at this time was not efficient.
FOCUS STATEMENT
•  Explain the role of South
Carolinians in the establishment of
the national government.
