    A few brief notes on exam preparation: First off, best of luck to you all in preparing for and taking this
    exam. The above listed terms and concepts are meant to provide you with a framework for the types of
    things you will be expected to know in the exam. It is best to think of each key term as an encapsulated
    story. You should be able to recall when the event occurred, who was involved, what occurred and why
    it was significant in the larger scope of U.S. history. This latter category often relates one key term to
    another in terms of a pattern of cause and effect. So, it is best not to think of these terms in isolation
    from one another, but rather to understand how they integrate together to tell the story of early U.S.
    history.

    The terms listed under the thematic categories may come up in Multiple Choice or True or False. For
    example, I may ask,
    1. The Georgia Colony was settled by James Oglethorpe in the 1730s as a haven for which of the
    following groups?

    a. Catholics

    b. Quakers

    c. Debtors and the worthy poor

    d. English planters from Barbados

    or

    1. The Georgia Colony was established in the 1630s as a haven for debtors and the worthy poor.

    a. true

    b. false
