Main characteristics of traditional European Society
The main characteristics of traditional European society, and how successfully did European settlers replicate that society in America?

The main characteristics of traditional European society would be having a religious belief. For example, they brought over a variety of religions to accompany the needs of the settlers. Another characteristic is having classes for the people that live there. Family based lifestyles, money. Also, they were the type of people that would make another ethnicity change by force. The replication process that the Europeans were fulfilling was a success. They replicated their traditional society.

Columbian Exchange effects
How did the "Columbian Exchange" affect the lives of Europeans and Native Americans?

The "Columbian Exchange" affected the lives of Europeans and Native Americans for an abundancy of reasons. Firstly, it affected the Native Americans because of the diseases that were brought over and they had no defense against that and it started to kill of a copious amount of them. Secondly, the Europeans were only affected because of sexual diseases i.e Syphilis. New things were brought over and old things were reintroduced to its native lands. The Europeans brought over stock and took from the Native Americans plants, animals, and the skills to plant and farm without the help. Overall the "Columbian Exchange" did not hurt the Europeans to drastically, but for the Native Americans it caused adversities.

How did whites, Native Americans, and Africans interact socially and economically?
How did whites, Native Americans, and Africans interact socially and economically?

Whites, Native Americans, and Africans interacted in a way not so different then what happened during the 40's and 50's. Meaning, how the white people treated African Americans. Us, whites, treated the Africans as if they were just a piece of property that could be pushed around and not become jaded. Whites believed that they were irreproachable, which of course was untrue. Africans had little interaction socially because they were servants. Native Americans interacted with the whites by wanting to trade items, otherwise they would want to find out who these people were and what they were like. The whites interacted with the Native Americans poorly. Whites were glacial towards Native Americans, and would beleaguer them. Irrevocable actions had been taken by the whites in order to wax in population.

How did traditional English notions of government give way to calls for political sovereignty and representative assemblies in America?
Traditional English notions of government gave way for calls of political sovereignty and assemblies because, Americans of all regions had stated their desire to replicate the British political institutions, but the more they studied their political theories and practices the more aware they became that there were major differences. Americans wanted to be able to start their "own thing". Which in fact they had. What they had created, in fact, was something of little resemblance to the eighteenth-century British politics. Americans were able to possess the right to vote and exercise it as well, and when something major came up everyone was welcome to have their say, but they mainly let the members of rural and urban gentry represent them. All in all, they (Americans) believed in the purity of a balanced constitution and legislative authority.
