Essay Instructions: I need an essay broken down into 5 paragraphs dicussing the following topics:

1. If Colonial America differed from England because it offered greater opportunities, the degree to which one could take advantage of these opportunities depended upon gender, race, ethnicity, and religion. Discuss how these factors effected the ability of certain groups of people to enjoy the promise of Colonial America.

2. What was the impact of British mercantilist policy on colonial economic development, policy-making, and on colonial society? Who made up the colonial elite? To what extent did they dominate the socio-economic and political policies in the colonies? Could slavery have become as pervasive as it did without mercantilism?

3. Discuss the origins of colonial North American slavery. Compare and contrast eighteenth century slavery as it existed in the Chesapeake, in South Carolina and Georgia, and in the northern colonies. How did differences in regions, crop cultivation, and personal skill create opportunities for varied experiences among enslaved Africans? How did enslaved Africans use cultural retentions to preserve their humanity and to implement a distinct culture in America?

4. Discuss the impact of both The Enlightenment and The Great Awakening on the colonial population. What segments of the population were drawn to the ideas of each of these movements? What was the impact of the Enlightenment on American culture and political life? Of the Great Awakening? What contradictions in North American colonial society were exposed by these movements?

5. Throughout the colonial period, what were the factors that hindered or promoted a sense of national identity? At what point did nationalism become a major influence and why? Discuss how and why the lifestyles and experiences of American colonists began to differ from those of their kinfolk in England. How did tensions between democratic and aristocratic elements evolve into an “American” culture that was increasingly cohesive while distinct from England? Did the American colonists and the British have “irreconcilable differences” that made the colonial bid for separation inevitable, or were the colonists more like the mother country than ever before?

4) In 1719 Daniel Defoe published his novel Robinson Crusoe. Set in 1651, the hero explains his circumstances:
Being the third son of the family and not bred to any trade, my head began to be filled very early with rambling thoughts. My father, who was very ancient, had given me a competent share of learning, as far as house-education and a country free school generally go, and designed me for the law; but I would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea?.My father, a wise and grave man, gave me serious and excellent counsel against what he foresaw was my design. He called me one morning into his chamber, where he was confined by the gout, and expostulated very warmly with me upon this subject. He asked me what reasons, more than a mere wandering inclination, I had for leaving father?s house and my native country?. He told me it was men of desperate fortunes on one hand, or of aspiring, superior fortunes on the other, who went abroad upon adventures, to rise by enterprise, and make themselves famous in undertakings?.
Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe Philadelphia: Porter & Coates, 1870. Digital E Book on Goggle Books
If colonial America differed from England because it offered greater opportunities to both those of ?desperate fortunes? or ?superior fortunes?, the degree to which one could take advantage of these opportunities depended upon gender, race, ethnicity, and religion. Consider the ways in which three of these factors enabled some people to enjoy the promise of Colonial America more fully than others.
