They basically give you the answers in the article you’re supposed to read, before answering the questions (sorry, worded that sentence terribly 🤣). Just gotta find them. 😁 I think you’ll do great!

    Not only those, but there were a bunch of wars in the meantime; including at least *four* "French and Indian Wars" so to speak, and in about 1676 "King Philips' War" that both completely wrecked the economy of New England and led to the demise of the Algonquin culture in the bulk of New England, and paved the way for the formation of New England as a major part of the USA.
