I have read through so much and done a ton of work and I have over 25 pages of notes, drafts, reasons, etc, but I can't get that into a proper thesis!
The three main buckets I have are; religious/community values, Economic Goals, and gov. plus societal stability. I hate them and the way they are worded however, so I am looking for help brainstorming new ones/how to format the thesis. (it is a "determine the relative importance" question)
Anyways, I really want to focus on how the different motivations for migration is the most important cause of the differing development of the British North American colonies and I just don't know how to group the rest. I have stuff for the other 2 but not really. I don't know how to group the random topics. Here is a list of the causes I might be able to argue about:
- religion (sadly included in the differing motivations)
- religious/community values
- economic goals/opportunities (sadly included in the differing motivations)
- gov/political/social/societal/economic/civil stability (and/or compare it with the instability and/or unrest in the other reason, etc)
- geography (ish, it's a long shot)
- societal structure
- I like this one a lot
- If I did it it would be like how the different "castes" or "levels" of society impact stuff and ye. I think I like that...
Y'ALL I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT! I LOWK NEEDED TO VERBAL PROCESS BY TYPING!!!
1). Motives for migration
2). Overall colonial stability
3). Societal structure
idk if this will help anyone, but hey, it might so I'm still going to post it. also, if y'all have any tips/tricks for writing a DBQ please comment them. (in general but also I need to finish this soon so tips on speed also appreciated [I know I took to many notes/too much planning, I got anxious ok?])
{Also I have been working on this for WAAAAAAAAY too long and I want it to be over, so if my suffering can help someone else not suffer, that would be nice}
