P.211 Textbook In 1681 King Charles II granted land in the Middle Colonies to William Penn, a Quaker. The Quakers are a religious group whose nickname comes from their belief that people should quake before the power of the Lord.” The Quakers had been put in jail because of their religious beliefs.

Textbook p.212 The Middle Colonies grew rapidly during the 1700ś. Colonists started the new colony of Delaware by settling on land that had also been part of Pennsylvania. Many Europeans moved to the Middle Colonies in hopes of finding a better life. In 1720 about 10,000 colonists lived in Philadelphia (the capital of Pennsylvania). By 1760 the cityś populator had grown to over 22,000, making Philadelphia the largest city in the English colonies.

Within several years, hard-working farmers turned the Middle Colonies into the main food growing region in colonial North American. People called the Middle colonies the breadbasket of the colonies.” The Middle Colonies were called the breadbasket of the colonies because the land was very fertile and good for growing crops.

What do you know about Pilgrims? Discuss at your tables

Why did the colonists come to Jamestown?

Colonists came to Jamestown to get rich! Economic reasons!!

Plymouth Pilgrims The Plymouth Pilgrims did not come to America for economic reasons, they came for religious freedom. Religious freedom means the right to have any religious beliefs you want, or none at all.

In the 1600’s in England, you had to belong to the Church of England, ruled by the King. If you did not follow this religion you were persecuted. One group did not want to follow the Church of England and decided to separate and became known as the Separatists.

The separatists decided to move to America so they could live with other English people, but could still follow their own religion. Religion was a push and pull factor that led the separatists to migrate to North America.

The Virginia Company granted them a charter to make a new settlement in Virginia. Only 40 separatists planned to go. Two ships were chosen, the Mayflower and the Speedwell. Each time they sailed the Speedwell began to lead and they would turn back. Finally, they left on the mayflower alone on September 16, 1620. Many people got sick on the journey. They were very low on food and water. After 66 days at sea they saw land! But it was not the Virginia Colony. They were too far north and landed in the area that is Massachusetts. The Pilgrims sailed on the Mayflower and settled in Massachusetts Colony.

PROBLEM!!! The Pilgrims had one major problem!!! Since they landed in Massachussets (and not Virginia) they were now in an area without a government! They decided to create their own government → The Mayflower Compact.

The Mayflower Compact Is the Mayflower Compact easy to read? IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN. We whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread sovereign Lord, King James, by the grace of God, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, etc. Having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents, solemnly and mutually in the presence of God, and of one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute and frame such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colony: unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. IN WITNESS WHEREOF we have hereunder subscribed our names at Cape Cod, the 11 of November, the year of the reign of our sovereign Lord James; of England, France and Ireland the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth. Ano Dom. 1620. Is the Mayflower Compact easy to read? What key ideas do you notice in the Mayflower Compact? What ideas did the Pilgrims want to include in their new government?

The Pilgrims began to look for a place to settle. • They wanted a place with a safe harbor, fresh water, and good soil. • While most people stayed onboard some began to look for a good place. • Late in December they found a clearing with old cornfields. This turned out to be an abandoned settlement of the Wampanoag Native Americans. • On December 26, 1620 the group went ashore. This was officially the beginning of the Plymouth Colony, which was also known as the Plymouth Plantation.

Discuss: How did the first winter and spring effect the colonists? The first winter at Plymouth was very hard. The weather was cold and there was not enough food. Many people became ill. By spring about one half of the settlers had died. Help came in the spring when an Abenaki Native American named Samoset walked into the settlement. He shocked the group by speaking English to them. He explained that he had learned English from sailors who fished along the coast. He returned to Plymouth with a Wampanoag who spoke English better than he did. He was Tisquantum. The Pilgrims ended up calling him Squanto. Years before Tisquantum had been taken and sold as a slave in Spain. He had later escaped and spent some years in England before returning to his homeland. He stayed with the Plymouth colonists and showed them where to fish and how to plant crops like squash, pumpkins, and corn. Discuss: How did the first winter and spring effect the colonists?

Sequencing Activity (p.13 Supplemental Materials) Lesson 4

Pilgrims & Native Americans The Pilgrims and Wampanoags, under the leadership of their chief, Massasoit, lived in peace during this time. In the fall of 1621, the Pilgrims gathered in their first harvest. It was decided to celebrate the harvest and give thanks for it. A festival was held for three days that included the 53 English colonists and 90 Wampanoag men. It included feasting and what they called at the time “recreations.” Discuss: What did this festival become known as?

Explain that Thanksgiving became a national holiday in 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November as a “day of thanksgiving and praise.”
