In yоur оpiniоn, whаt were the biggest chаllenges/incidents/ideаs/successes/people that shaped this early period of American history (from Pre-Columbus to the Early Republic)? Your answers should draw on specific examples from the lectures, the discussion, and the reading assignment quizzes. Your answers must reference/cite (you don’t have to quote) at least one of the sources from the discussion readings and/or reading assignment quiz sources. Failure to do so will result in a significant deduction of points regardless of how much you write. Your answer must be at minimum 2 paragraphs and each paragraph be between 10-15 sentences long.
