    In week 27, student question #2 says, "Numerically speaking, which one group of immigrants dominated the American population by 1750?" I think that this question is intended to lead to #6 in the teacher's notes, page 41, which says that "the largest single group of people coming to Colonial America were the slaves." But I don't think the question is worded in a way that fits - certainly I don't think that you could say that the African forced immigrants "dominated the American population"! It seems that this question could be reworded.

    Thanks!

    Hi Beth,
    It would probably be better worded:
    "...which one group of immigrants dominated the immigrant population by 1750?"

    Thanks for pointing this out. Next week I'll be adding to the Year 2 errata on the Loom, and will add this one to the list.

    Blessings,
