    About this ebook

    What is a Quick Prep Sheet?

    It's Easy! - We're doing 99% of the prep work for you. We've taken input from the thousands of people who visit Free-Clep-Prep.com every day and put together a list of the terms and topics you'll need to know for the Introductory Sociology CLEP. We do the research and then teach what you need to know in an easily digestible way. All you have to bring is your appetite to learn.

    It's Fast! - We keep these Quick Prep Sheets small on purpose. Almost all of them are under 30 pages/10,000 words and there is no fluff or filler material included. If you're looking for a 200+ page book to read, we've got some great recommendations on our free study guides. If you're a fan of flashcards, crib notes, or study sheets, then you are going to love our Quick Prep Sheets. Aside from a short intro and conclusion, every single word is there for one reason - to help you understand the material and pass your CLEP/DSST.

    It's Cheap! - Keeping it lean and mean also allows us to offer these at a fraction of what others are charging. Don't be put off by the price - Yes, we know it's ridiculously cheap and we're perfectly okay with that. Free-Clep-Prep is here to help you pass exams, not make a fortune. If we succeed at helping you pass, you'll tell others about us. Everyone wins. That's been our strategy for 4+ years now, and it's worked great so far.

    These take hundreds of hours to put together, but we're proud of the end result. Give our Quick Prep Sheets a try. You'll be happy you did!

      History of the United States I CLEP Quick Prep Sheet - Justin Orgeron

      Welcome to the Quick Prep Sheet for the History of the United States I CLEP!

      The History of the US I CLEP starts with the early colonization of North America and goes all the way until the Reconstruction Era after the Civil War. That’s a lot of history to cover! The good news is that there is only 100’sh questions on the CLEP. That means they had to be very choosy with just how much of that history to cover.

      We’ve done our best to list everything you may see on the CLEP. We’ve also tried to keep the topics consecutive, starting in the early 1600’s and working our way towards 1877. I know it’s a lot, but take your time and go through it all thoroughly. We’ve tried to make it all as clear and comprehensive as possible, but if you get confused on something, do some further research! Then come back when you fully understand the concepts and keep reading.

      Remember, I always suggest you use multiple resources for these exams and that advice hasn’t changed. Once you’re done here, go take our free full-length online practice test (http://practice-exams.free-clep-prep.com/login.php) and make sure you have the material down. Bring this Ebook with you to the testing center and use it for some last minute study in the car. Above all, don’t stress out over the exam! You can do this!

      With all that out of the way… on to the studying!

      The Thirteen Colonies

      Many of the states on the East Coast of the United States originally started off as larger colonies. These colonies varied in size and influence, but we’ll cover the original 13 colonies that declared independence from England below.

      Northern Colonies – The northern colonies, or New England, were composed of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. This region was the first area to be settled, and the population consisted mostly of people from England. The economy in this region was primarily driven by trade, fish, timber and some whaling.

      • Province of Massachusetts Bay – One of the first settled areas in the Northern colonies, it quickly gained in population primarily due to people fleeing religious persecution in England. In 1620, the Pilgrims established the second permanent English colony in the Americas at Plymouth. The Puritans soon followed and settled in what is now known as Boston. Other notable occasions in Massachusetts were the Boston Tea Party, the Salem Witch trials, and Shay’s Rebellion, all of which we’ll cover later in the study guide. The modern day state of Maine was actually part of the Province, and only became a state later with the Missouri Compromise of 1820.

      • Connecticut Colony – Originally settled by the Dutch and later, English settlers from the Boston area, Connecticut began as part of the New Netherland colony of the Dutch, but was later absorbed into a larger colony under British rule.

      • Province of New Hampshire – Colonized in the early 1600’s, New Hampshire was the first colony to later break away from British rule and declare themselves independent.

      • Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations – Settled by religious groups on land bought and gifted by the local Native Americans, Rhode Island became a colony known for religious freedoms and the early abolition of slavery. Notable occurrences in the colony included battles during King Phillip’s War with the eventual killing of King Phillip.

      Middle Colonies – The middle colonies refers to the colonies of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. These colonies were known for their great cultural diversity, and also had a very high population of slaves. They primarily produced ships from their shipbuilding yards, wheat products, and textiles.

      • Province of New York – New York was actually part of the New Netherlands colony, and was colonized by the Dutch. The colony was eventually captured by the English in an attempt to gain trading superiority in the area, and renamed New York after the Duke of York. The provinces of New Jersey, Maine, and Delaware, were later split off from New York to form their own colonies.
