1. Spanish, English and French.

Correct.

2. That he had an idea: That you could go west by sailing east. Nobody believed him, but he pursued this idea, and he went down as one of the most famous travelers of all time. He didn't let anyone dilute his dream.

Good, though it's not true that "nobody" believe him. It was known that the world was round.

3. Because they had no set form of government, and there were mixed religious beliefs. Along with this, there were really cold winters that wiped out a lot of settlers.

Don't think a set form of government is necessary to survive at that time. Rest of the answer is good. (Minus 1).

4. Freedom of religion. They had no, or very little motivation from wealth, or lands. The mainstream puritans wanted to make the church pure, while the pilgrims just wanted to worship freely.

Pilgrims wanted to separate themselves from the mainstream church. (Minus 1).

5. He took all of the people who were driven out of their home for what they believe, and made a safe haven for them in Pennsylvania. He didn't think of the indians as 'savages', and was kind, and good to them, unlike several other Englishmen of those days.

Excellent.

6. 'Joint-Stock Colony' - Massachusetts bay, and Virginia.

'Charter Colony' - Rhode-Island.

'Proprietary Colony - New-york, Maryland, and Delaware.

'Royal Colony' - Virginia.

Good.

7. 'Where the Puritans right to be strict, and expel people of other religions?' I can see it from both sides. On one hand, the Puritans where there first, they had established good settlements, and they didn't want people of other religions like quakers stirring things up. On the other hand, just because the Puritans where there first doesn't mean they had any right to drive out, or kill people who didn't believe what they did.

Good. Capitalize "Quakers" and "where" should be "were".

H1. If everyone believed the same thing, and they all had the same exact views on every little detail, then I think that they could survive. But if everyone believed the same thing but had different opinions on things, I don't think they would do well, because people would butt heads about religious views.

Good.

H3. What really happened to Roanoke colony? The "Lost colony'? I think that there are two (Or more) Possible explanations for their disappearance. 1. A cold winter wiped them out. But that doesn't explain the carving 'Croatian' on the tree. 2. They decided that they wanted to go back east, ad left without a word, leaving only the marker. But really, I think that they were captured by someone, and that someone/s left the carving on the tree.

Excellent.

H5. 'Did the Triangular trade really exist?' I personally think that it really did exist, and was used by slave traders. There must have been a way, and a specific process to get their 'Cargo' from one place to another, and the Triangular trade seems reasonable.

OK.

Great start! 98/100.--Aschlafly 01:49, 11 September 2008 (EDT)
