00:00

Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by new england where people have more

00:08

miles on their snow blowers than they do on their

00:10

cars All right check the following image seal of the

00:14

dominion of new england And now for our question the

00:18

image most directly reflects which of britain's goals for the

00:21

north american colonies and hear your pencil answers are in

00:25

the violent conflict International trade publicans Okay so what does

00:30

this picture tell us Well we have a colonist and

00:33

a native american kneeling before the king Also we have

00:37

a naked cherub flapping above him Does this mean king

00:40

of england had an army of cherubs that force native

00:43

americans and columnist to do his will Kind of like

00:46

the wicked witch of the west had flying monkeys focusing

00:49

on this whole kneeling thing will probably help us out

00:52

a lot more here Like how it lets us nick's

00:54

Answer See republicanism is based on the idea that the

00:58

people should have the power to rule themselves A picture

01:01

of some guy's sucking up to a king doesn't exactly

01:03

reinforce this idea In fact the establishment of the dominion

01:07

of new england was away for the british crown to

01:09

tightness reigns on the increasingly disgruntled american colonists option a

01:14

claims that the seal reflects britain's goal of ending violence

01:17

with the american indians as faras we can tell though

01:20

the steel projects the idea that there would have only

01:22

been peace with the american indians if they learned to

01:26

kneel and bring the king his tasty new world treats

01:29

Most of the tribes weren't into that idea and it

01:32

wasn't a major british goal to get what they wanted

01:34

from the american indians peacefully Not that there's really any

01:38

peaceful way to steal land but it's a separate story

01:41

All right the british crown also wasn't into the idea

01:43

of colonist Getting too chummy with other countries is choice

01:46

be tries to convince us in fact britain cut the

01:49

colonies off completely from international trade and you say a

01:52

control freak so in cross that big option d is

01:57

the right answer here The truth is that britain was

01:59

facing he's a troubled time Not only were the new

02:02

england colony is becoming increasingly difficult to rule but also

02:05

the competition for power with european rivals like spain was

02:09

Heating up britain's reaction to this sticky situation No introducing

02:13

the dominion of new england which streamline the colonies into

02:17

a single imperial political structure The colonists weren't thrilled and

02:21

the introduction of a seal with a smiling colonial kneeling

02:24

before the king didn't exactly sell it to them So

02:27

if the naked cherub didn't do it well nothing would 00:02:30.19 --> [endTime] have
