KINGSLEY TIMELINE Timelines help us understand the order in which things happen and show the connection of different events. The time line below has two sides. The left side shows dates related to Kingsley Plantation and the events in Zephaniah Kingsley’s life. The right side lists some of the “bigger events” of history - what was happening in North America or abroad. 1. Match events on the left with dates on the left side of the line. Draw a line from the event to the correct date (Jean Ribault and the Patriots Rebellion are already done for you). 2. Match events on the right with dates on the right side of the line. Draw a line from the event to the correct date. After you have matched the events to the dates, notice what events were happening in America while Zephaniah Kingsley lived at Fort George Island.
