The question is -

How did the Colonies fit into the British system?
As a group of people and businesses loyal to the crown and paying taxes for them. We had a wealth of natural resources that had not been seen in many lifetimes. Timber, fish and minerals. This is assuming that you mean the '13 colonies' of the northeast and not the French or Spanish colonies.

Who were their inportantant trading partners? Everyone, but the primary 3 were Britian, France and Spain.

What where the plussess and minuses for the colonies? Too many to list. That is a very big question as some saw things as plusses, like naval security, while others saw things as a minus, like naval enforcement.

NO ONE here should answer any of these questions.

The point of your homework was to do the research on your own. You have all the resources needed to complete your assignment...you have the internet, you have the library, encyclopedia and even your text book. If you have the time to go on this site and list these Qs, then you have the time to go and do the necessary research to complete your assignment.

Us providing you with the answers will not help you at all and will only feed into your laziness. By providing you the answers you have taken the easy way out and not challenging yourself or make yourself a better student. By providing you answers you learn nothing...the only thing you will learn is how to be lazy and take the easy road when it comes to your education.

Croydon, I think it's a bit harsh calling him lazy. He did admit he was having trouble finding information, even in his college texts. I don't find it 'lazy" to ask people in a forum in which he feels comfortable.

I'm twice this college student's age, and yet I don't feel like I'm being lazy if I go onto a list serv I use with other journalists in Canada to ask them a question that I find difficult to answer for whatever reason. I do agree that Brightswimmer is asking too many questions on this topic, though, which is why I only provided him with a link to do further research.

Journey, I don't think I am being harsh. I don't believe bright is having "problems" b/c the questions he is asking us to answer are quite extensive. In addition, the manner he poses the Qs is in a way that I find that he didn't go research the answers on his own.

He is asking people to do the assignment for him. I find it hard to believe that he has exhausted all his resources. I find it hard that he went to library and researched, went online and searched some website, or really went through his text book to get his answer.

I further believe that this is more than just a test he has to study for but rather a paper he is suppose to write.

If he had asked one Q, I would have understand but instead he poses a series of Qs and then ask him to answer each Q a 5W sequence. In addition, he created two threads with two history Qs...

It doesn't sound like he has really taken the researching seriously and simply asking us to do the work for him.

Although not as harsh, I tend to agree with Croydon. I don't think we have ever had a homework question posted here in these forums.

The natural progression of homework help should be textbook, classmates, research arenas (library, on-topic web sites), professor next day in class. I can't think where nudist forum would fit in.

I will close this topic on Friday. His homework assignment should be done by then, so please keep that in mind when responding.
