​Note: These questions were copied exactly as they were on your wikis.

1. Well I wonder if they had any more trouble with their religions. If a person comes to MA and says that if you have a diffrent religion than me come. What would happen? Did MA get teared apart? Did they reunite? I just thought of these. Now I have lots of more questions in my head. Who was the leader of MA? Did he/she make all of the decisions? Or did he/she had help? Did the girls have tight clothes back then? Did the boys get all the respect, or did the girls get all the respect?

2. How come there was alot of people trying to hate on other peoples religion? How come in georgia there was alot of people that went to jail if they couldn't pay their bills?

3. Who lead the first colony ever? Why did they make that colony?, and what was the name of the colony and why did they name it that?

4. Did the Quakers, or Catholics, or Christians or anyone else in the 13 colonies keep pets or capture them for good use or transportation (I already know that they had horses)? What kind of weapons did the people from the 13 colonies carry around or store? If they used slaves how much would they cost or how much would they sell them for? What did they use for money? (e.g. gold, platnum, silver etc.)

5. What does the Pennslyania goverment do, do he get rich and get pay alot or he just be the goverment and use the states money to do wat he wanted to do? If u are a miner and dig for gold and how do u get rich just digging for gold and who will trade their money for gold and if they have gold but no one trade gold for money and u won't get rich either?

6. What did the Native Americans have to do with the colonies at the beginning? I remember 1 colony was peaceful with them, I think it was Rhode Island, but other than that, they weren't mentioned. I assume that that means that nothing special happened to the colonists because of the natives, then?

7. I wonder if the colonies used that many slaves, and if they did use a lot of slaves what type of person did they make a slave? I wonder if any of the colonys were loyal to England and wanted to help England by going to America. I also wonder if any of the people that lived in the colonies decided to live with the Indians

8. I wonder what all the events were in the Revolutionary War. I just know about the Boston Tea Party. Also who was the leader of the war. I know about the Civil War though.

9. I would like to know more about the other colonies because I learned the most about only one. It would be cool to do a project on all of the colonies instead of one. I have a question about when they all came to America, did one boat come and then invite anothe group to come over or did they meet not knowing each other?

10. How did they know how to kill whales.

11. I still have questions about Massatuchetts and how it became so demorcratic. Also how each state got there name.

12. I would lake to about slavery. When did slavery start and when did it end. Were there white slaves or only black. Where some slaves indentured survants who were forced to stay servants. Who made this law? Slavery really began in the early 1500s and it ended in 1865. There were both white and black slaves. But white slaves only worked for a certain amount of time and black slaves worked forever unless they died or the owner let them go. No;slaves that were indentured servants did not stay indentured servants.
