Unit 2 is one of the easiest places for students to confuse regions, labor systems, and colonial motives. New England was not the Chesapeake. Spanish missions were not the same as French trade networks. Indentured servitude was not the same as hereditary racial slavery. Mercantilism was not just trade; it was an imperial system. These flashcards are built to fix those exact exam traps.
