Chronology anchor: Part two: Looking west in AC Britain: Migration, empires and the people: c790 to the present day (Paper 2 Section A: Thematic studies) provides the direct anchor for this learning objective. Students focus on Study colonisation in North America, including causes and consequences of British colonisation, Raleigh, Jamestown, indigenous peoples, commodities, Pilgrim Fathers, indentured servants and loss of American colonies. The explanation should use the subtopic wording, the relevant period, named events or individuals where appropriate, and precise historical evidence. It should then separate cause from consequence, change from continuity, and significance from importance while keeping sources, interpretations, evidence and opinion distinct.
