There are, of course, many such sources that were relevant
at various times before 1750. Some sources
include:
- "Race." There were conflicts between
the Europeans and the Native Americans almost as soon as the settlers arrived. There
was also, to some degree, conflict between blacks and whites. These included such
things as the New York City Slave Rebellion of 1712 and the Stono Rebellion of
1739. - Religion. In some parts of America, there were
conflicts between religious groups. A good example of this came in New England where
there were conflicts between the dominant Puritans and people (within and outside of the
Puritan religion) who had different beliefs. - Class. We
see examples of class conflict in the colonies before 1750. The best-known major
example of this was Bacon's Rebellion in Virginia in 1676. This rebellion was largely
based on the grievances of the poorer backwoods people against the elites who ran the
colony.
