American Identity and Immigration in the Revolutionary Age
Robert J. Allison, Ph.D., Department of History, Suffolk University


 * Bernard Bailyn //The Peopling of British North America: An Introduction// (Random House 1986), pp. 20-43. [ **CONTINUED FROM SEMINAR #3** ]

Electronic Prompt(s)

 * 1) Bailyn states that “the peopling of British North America was an extension outward and an expansion in scale of domestic mobility in the lands of the immigrants’ origins.” What does he mean by this, and is this thesis supported by the other readings you have completed during the Fall Seminar? Why or why not?

//e//Seminar Instructions
Welcome to our first Becoming America //e//Seminar. Before beginning, please post your response to the electronic prompt.

The eSeminar is broken down into 8 segments recorded as audio Podcasts that build on top of the previous one. You should listen to each segment in numerical order. In order to receive full credit you are required to listen to ALL segments and __post two responses__ on the **Discussion** board. The purpose of this activity is to facilitate interaction with the content presented. Your //e//Seminar responses are like raising your hand during a live seminar, adding your own interpretation, and perhaps raising another question that needs further discussion. Professor Allison will read and respond to your posts over the next week.
 * 1) Listen to ALL 8 segments
 * 2) Select one or two segments to focus your responses. Include the segment number in the subject line.
 * 3) //Additional option//: One response can be addressed directly to a fellow teacher. Use ** REPLY. **

//e//Seminar posts DUE on **Thursday, November 12th**
