Answer the following prompt using the four documents above and your knowledge of the

time period between 1763 and 1787. Consult your textbook and class notes to help you

answer the question.

To what extent did internal migration in North America stimulate conflicts between

migrants and the established societies that they left?

Your response should include an introductory paragraph with a thesis (see Chapter 1)

and at least two body paragraphs, each of which must include a main point and supporting

points. (See Building AP® Writing Skills, p. 25, for examples of claims and evidence.) Be

sure to decide which organizational format will be better for your response—subject-by-

subject (see Building AP® Writing Skills, p. 51) or point-by-point (see Building AP® Writing

Skills, p. 81).

For a review of historical causation and historical argumentation, see the Applying AP®

Historical Thinking Skills features on pages 21 and 108.
