1. Spanish then English & then French

Correct.

2. He was a visionary for the cause of Christ, and the greatest navigator of his day.

Good.

3. Some socialistic farming policies failed to motivate the settlers to work.

Excellent.

4. Religious. The pilgrims were Separatists, they wanted total isolation from the Chruch of England so they could have thier own new church on the new continent. The Puritans wanted to cleanse the Church of England from its doctrinal inconsistencies from the inside out, hoping a Protestant America would be more capable of purifying Protestant England.

Superb, but work on spelling and capitalization.

5. Penn founded a colony wtih complete religous freedom. He established friendships with the Indians, as well as a succesfull city. Based on his innovative ideas, Pennsylvania grew into an independent and bustling colony.

Good. Work on spelling.

6. The Joint-Stock Colony like at Plymouth. The Charter Colony. The Proprietary Colony, like Pennsylvania. And the Royal Colony like Virginia became.

Good, but need an example of a Charter Colony. (Minus 1).

7. The Puritans were completly within their right to expel people from their colony. After all, that is one of the main reasons settlers came from Europe: they were expelled for their faith. Was it fair or righteous that the Puritans would do that? No, I don't believe it was. They were killing and persecuting people in order to maintain a harmonious community. If every religion had its own private colony governed by the church there and no one was allowed in anyone else's "religious zone", then their would be no unity in the Church, only wars between them and strife over moral dilemas. "She said she converted to Methodism, but now she's practicing Presbyterianism in our Methodist region." "Well, she's married to a Presbyterian so our laws say you can't execute her unless she gets a divorce." and on and on and on.....

Good.
