Why It Matters
A new culture took root in North America. The
values and beliefs of this new culture developed
as people from several parts of the world
migrated to the continent.

The Impact Today


The colonies influenced values and beliefs many
Americans cherish today.
For example:
Many people still come to the Americas in
search of economic opportunity and religious
freedom.
Representative government remains an
important part of the American political
system.

England in America
The English defeat of the Spanish Armada
ended Spanish control of the seas.
England and other European nations could
begin colonies in North America because it was
now safe to sail the waters.
In 1583 Sir Humphrey Gilbert claimed
Newfoundland for Queen Elizabeth.

England in America (cont.)

Why do you think Roanoke Island was so


difficult to settle?
Possible answer: Weather conditions were
probably hard for living and for growing
crops. So the settlers were not able to get the
food and supplies they needed to survive.

Jamestown Settlement
In April 1607, settlers sent by the Virginia
Company in London entered Chesapeake Bay
and founded Jamestown.
They faced many hardships.
For example, they found no gold nor did they
establish the fish or fur trading expected of
them by the Virginia Company investors.
The number of colonists dwindled.

Jamestown Settlement (cont.)

Why do you think slavery in Virginia was


made legal in the 1660s?
Possible answer: The lawmakers felt slavery
was not bad. Slavery provided workers for the
plantations that grew crops, which made
money for the colony.

Some of these Separatists were given a
guarantee by the Virginia Company to be able to
practice their religion freely if they settled in
Virginia.
In return they had to share their profits with the
Virginia Company.
These people called themselves Pilgrims.

Massachusetts, due to the oncoming winter.
Plymouth was not part of the Virginia Company
territory and its laws did not apply.
So the Pilgrims drew up the Mayflower
Compact to provide laws to live by.
It was the beginning of a representative
government in America.

England and the Colonies


In 1660 England had two groups of colonies:
- The New England colonies were run by private
corporations under a royal charter. They were
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and
Rhode Island.
- The royal colonies were run by England. They were
Maryland and Virginia.

England wanted to gain control of the Dutchcontrolled land in between these two groups of
colonies because of its harbor and river trade.

England and the Colonies (cont.)


The Dutch colony was New Netherland.
Its main settlement of New Amsterdam on
Manhattan Island was a center of shipping to
and from the Americas.
The Dutch West India Company gave new
settlers who brought at least 50 settlers with
them a large estate.
These landowners gained riverfront estates
and ruled like kings. They were called
patroons.

The Duke of York gained control of the colony
and named it New York.
He promised the colonists freedom of religion
and allowed them to hold on to their land.
The population of New York grew to about
8,000 in 1664.
New Amsterdam, now called New York City,
became one of the fastest-growing locations in
the colony.

England and the Colonies (cont.)


The southern part of New York between the
Hudson and the Delaware Rivers became New
Jersey.
Its inhabitants were diverse in ethnicity and
religion, like those from New York.
Without a major port or city, however, it did
not make the money the landowners expected.

By 1702 New Jersey became a royal colony,


yet it continued to make local laws.

England and the Colonies (cont.)

How did owning a large estate play such an


important role in the settlement of New York?

Coming to America
The colonies needed people to grow and
prosper.
Settlers came voluntarily. Others came
because they were:
- criminals or prisoners of war from England and
Scotland and could earn their release if they worked
for a period of time (seven years).
- seized and brought as slaves from Africa.
- indentured servants who worked without pay for a
certain period of time in exchange for their passage.

Virginia Expands
As Virginia grew, settlers moved inland
to open up the backcountry.
Native Americans lived on these lands.
The governor, Sir William Berkeley, worked
out an arrangement in 1644 that kept settlers
from moving farther into Native American
land.
The settlers received a large piece of land, and
conflicts were diminished.

together peacefully, so they gave up a piece of
their land under the terms of the treaty.

Settling the Carolinas


King Charles II founded the colony of
Carolina. The proprietors took large estates for
themselves and hoped to sell and rent land to
new settlers.
In 1670 English settlers arrived, and by 1680
they founded Charleston.
The English philosopher John Locke wrote
their constitution.

Settling the Carolinas (cont.)


Northern Carolina was settled by small
farmers.
Because this northern region did not have a

Southern Carolina was more prosperous due to


the fertile farmland and its harbor city, Charles
Town.
Rice became the leading crop, and indigo, a
blue flowering plant, became the blue gold
of Carolina.

Settling the Carolinas (cont.)


Most of the settlers of southern Carolina came
from the English colony of Barbados in the

Because so much labor was needed to grow
rice, the demand for slaves increased.
By 1708 more than half of southern Carolinas
new settlers were enslaved Africans.

Settling the Carolinas (cont.)

Why did many of the settlers to southern Carolina come


from the West Indian island of Barbados?
Barbados was an English colony. Enslaved Africans were
brought there as part of the Columbian Exchange. These
enslaved Africans had worked on large sugar plantations in
Barbados. Their experience would be helpful as they worked
on the plantations of southern Carolina, which ultimately
helped the economy of the colony grow. Because they were
enslaved people, they had no freedom to choose where they
were to live.

Georgia
James Oglethorpe founded the colony of
Georgia in 1733.
It was the last British colony to be founded in
the Americas.
Great Britain created Georgia for several
reasons:
- as a place where British debtors and poor people
could make a fresh start
- as a military barrier to protect the other British
colonies from Spain due to its location between
Spanish Florida and South Carolina

Georgia (cont.)
Oglethorpe banned slavery, Catholics, and rum

he lifted all the bans except on slavery.
In 1751, he turned the colony back to the king.

Georgia (cont.)

Because Georgia was the last colony to be


settled by the British, did it suffer in any way
or was it as stable or organized as the other
colonies?
Possible answer: Georgia probably was at a
disadvantage because of Oglethorpes laws and
the settlers objections. Remember the colony

New France (cont.)


The French respected the ways of the Native
Americans, so they had better relations with
them than did other Europeans.
The fur trappers traveled far into Native
American territory, so they needed to learn to
live among the Native Americans.
These trappers did not push the Native
Americans off their land.
The missionaries did not try to change their
customs.

New France (cont.)

Why were the French less interested than the


British in colonizing the Americas?
They wanted the money gained from fishing
and fur trading because it was profitable.
They were not looking to set up colonies
abroad because that took time, money, and
responsibility. They were not in a race for
land across the ocean.

New Spain
Spain had a large empire in Mexico, the
Caribbean, Central America, and South
America called New Spain.
To keep control and protect its claims, Spain
sent soldiers, missionaries, and settlers north
of this region into:
- present-day New Mexico, where Santa Fe was
founded in late 1609 or early 1610
- Arizona in the late 1600s
- the region that is now Texas in the early 1700s,
establishing San Antonio and other military posts
- California

New Spain (cont.)

Do you think the Spanish were any kinder to


the Native Americans than the British were?
Possible answer: Perhaps they were not, but
they did not try to usurp their land
immediately. They did take the Native
Americans as laborers, but did not make them
slaves.

Geography The coast of North Carolina is protected by


long, narrow barrier islands. As one observer remarked,
The coast of North Carolina looks as if it was just
coming unglued, with strips of land floating out to sea.
These sandy islands shift and change when storms
batter the coast. As a result, some of the bridges and
roads built over the years have been rendered useless.

Colonial Commerce
Goods

Click on a hyperlink to view the corresponding slide.

Much colonial commerce took place without currency.


Traders often relied on barter or money substitutes such
as beaver skins.

In 1770 about 62,000 tons of goods passed through South


Carolinas harbors. Today Charleston alone handles about
9 million tons of goods yearly.

James Oglethorpe In 1734 James Oglethorpe returned


to England with a group of Creek, among them his friend
Chief Tomo-Chi-Chi. The Creek, who were formally
received by the king and the Archbishop of Canterbury,
created a huge sensation in London. Crowds followed
them everywhere, even rioting in an attempt to catch a
glimpse of the party. On their return, the group praised
England so highly that both the Creek and the Cherokee
made pacts of friendship with the Georgia colony.
