Explanation

This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 2 Section A: Thematic studies, then anchor the answer in Part two: Looking west. The evidence should connect to Study colonisation in North America, including causes and consequences of British colonisation, Raleigh, Jamestown, indigenous peoples, commodities, Pilgrim Fathers, indentured servants and and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.

Common mistake

Avoid confusing Raleigh

A common mistake is to write about Raleigh as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in c790 to the present day.

Anchor the answer to Part two: Looking west, use precise evidence, and state whether Raleigh is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
