Congress banned the importing of slaves into the United States in 1808.) **Midwife**: A person trained to assist women in childbirth. **Enlightenment**: A philosophical movement of the 18th century, characterized by belief in the power of human reason and by innovations in political, religious, and educational doctrine. **Puritanism**: Scrupulous moral rigor, especially hostility to social pleasures and indulgences- the practices and doctrines of the Puritans. **The middle passage**: the forcible passage of African people from Africa to the New World, as part of the Atlantic slave trade **Cash Crop**: any crop that is considered easily marketable, as wheat or cotton- a crop for direct sale in a market, as distinguished from a crop for use as livestock feed or for other purposes (tobacco). **Salem Witch Trials**: Trials held in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 that led to the execution of twenty people for allegedly practicing witchcraft. The trials are noted for the hysterical atmosphere in which they were conducted; many townspeople were widely suspected of witchcraft on flimsy evidence. **Dutch Reformed**: Of or pertaining to a Protestant denomination, founded by Dutch settlers in New York in 1628 and renamed the Reformed Church in America in 1867. **John and Charles Wesley and George Whitefield**: Church of England evangelists who by popular preaching stimulated the 18th-century Protestant revival throughout Britain and the British-American colonies. **New Lights**: Pushed for a renewal of traditional Puritan religion, embraced and combined scientific discoveries with religion, challenged traditional authority and divided congregations. Appealed mostly to older men and few women. Opposed the message of itinerant preachers such as George Whitefield. **Old Lights**: Traditional religious thinking, suspicious of the revivals (and their seeming threat to authority), wanted to suppress them. **Poor Richard's Almanack**: A collection of periodicals (each one was called Poor Richard or Poor Richard Improved) by Benjamin Franklin, issued from 1732 to 1757. They contain humor, information, and proverbial wisdom, such as " Early to bed and early to rise/ Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." **John Peter Zenger’s Trail: ** Awakened by the Enlightenment and salutary neglect, America instilled the concept of self- government. Colonial assemblies began to assume the powers of Parliament, and limited the power of the colonial governors and provincial governments began to act independently.
 * Indentured servant**: A person who came to America and was placed under contract to work for another over a period of time, usually seven years, especially during the 17th to 19th centuries. Generally, indentured servants included redemptioners, victims of religious or political persecution, persons kidnapped for the purpose, convicts, and paupers. A person who is bonded or contracted to work for another for a specified time, in exchange for learning a trade or for travel expenses (as to America)

 * Triangular trade**: The American colonies exported raw materials (agricultural products, furs, and others) to Britain and Europe and imported manufactured goods in return. But while that explanation is accurate, it is not complete, largely because the Atlantic trade was not a simple exchange between America and Europe, but a complex network of exchanges involving the Caribbean, Africa, and the Mediterranean.
 * Consumerism**: The theory that a progressively greater consumption of goods is economically beneficial.
 * Stono Rebellion**: Uprising in South Carolina in 1739, largest slave rebellion in the colonies until the American Revolution.
