American Centricity Discussion

I’m trying to study for my History course and I need some help to understand this question.

: How were colonial societies structured in terms of family

life, economics, religion, and politics by the end of the 1600s into the

mid-1700s? What kinds of tensions did colonists experience and how did

they try to maintain order and make sense of their world?

In terms of colonial societies, I find the religion section to be  very interesting. It was thought-provoking reading both of your replies  and I see that you have made many great points such as how women were  treated in cases of presumed witchcraft. I also noticed that Zachary had  mentioned how Rhode Island was one of the most democratic of the  thirteen colonies. I found the story behind the founding of this colony  to be interesting because it was solely created off the idea that Roger  Williams had different beliefs than the Puritans. Like Williams, Anne  Hutchinson had very strong feelings about these religious matters and  was banished to Rhode Island too.
