Reflection:
7a. Primary Source:
A primary source I used was the letter from a soldier. It was from Abraham Lincoln to a mother of five sons. I was sure it was Lincoln because of how he phrased his words and it was confirmed from other sites as his.
7b. Secondary Source:
A secondary source I used was www.pbs.org. I used pbs because it was a recommended source first of all, and second because it had good information. I could tell it had good information because when I checked other websites to verify it's validity, it came through with clear validity.

Short answer
8a. Benefits of European and Native American Interaction:
The benefits of European and Native American Interaction were basically that cultures were able to spread and people got to encounter different ways of life. Like before the Europeans came, the U.S. was uncultivated, with simple structures and not much development, mostly just a rural area. When the Europeans came, they brought new ideas and were able to form a more colonized and cultivated land. They brought new structures and methods of like farming and many other things.
8b. Drawbacks of European and Native American Interaction:
Some drawbacks of the interaction was that many natives died because of the Europeans taking over their land. The Europeans ultimately wiped out 90% of the Natives, some dying from the fighting and some from the diseases they brought. Also, the Europeans basically forced the Natives to become their slaves and that's really not fair to them since they were there first.
9a. Points of View of the Patriots:
The beliefs of the people known as the Patriots were that the Europeans had no right to govern over them, especially after the brief period of Salutary Neglect. It wasn't viewed as fair to them for them to temporarily let them govern themselves, but once they aren't distracted with the war going on, to come back and decide they could govern once again. Also, they opposed the tax that the Europeans decided was to be put on whatever they desired even though they had no right to.
9b. Points of View of the Loyalists:
The beliefs of the people known as the Loyalists were that they believed Europe still had the right to govern over America. They believed this because they were the discoverers of America and that gives them the right to govern. They also believed that taxing them was okay since the rates weren't as much in their country and they needed help paying off the French-Indian War.
9c. Points of View of the Neutrals:
The view the Neutrals held was that they didn't pick sides. Some people in the colonies were neutral because they didn't believe in the violence or war happening in the colonies. And also, some didn't like the British government. Overall, the Neutrals chose not to voice their opinion and choose sides.
10a. Social Causes of the Civil War:
One social cause of the Civil War was the division of cultures between the North and South. Because of the difference of opinion concerning slavery between the two, the cultures were really different. First off, they had different economies, the North being more developed and structured, while the South was more rural and less structured.
10b. Economic Causes of the Civil War:
An Economic Cause of the Civil War was that the economy was very different. The North had 90% of the manufacturing in their region and were way more advanced. The North was known for starting the Industrial Revolution way before the South. The South relied way more on agriculture and were definitely farther behind developing wise.
10c. Political Cause of the Civil War:
A Political Cause of the Civil War was the different views on slavery and what to do about it. One side believed slavery was wrong and should be ended while the other supported it, therefore creating a political border between the two.
