Jamestown Virginia Company granted a charter from King James I. Charter – legal document giving rights to a company Settled between present day North Carolina and the Potomac River (present day VA) Problems: located in a swamp, water was unhealthy, mosquitoes spread malaria, council set to govern kept arguing and did not plan for future, faced starvation

Recovery for Jamestown John Smith – forced citizens to plant crops if they wanted to eat, instead of digging for gold Also set up relations with a nearby powerful Indian chief - Powhatan Had good relations when John Rolfe married Pocahontas, Powhatan’s daughter Seized the food of the Native Americans if necessary Did not really improve until the colonists began growing tobacco

Representative Government For a while, governors sent by the Virginia Company ran the colony like a military outpost. No settlers wanted to move there. To attract settlers, a new governor was ordered to consult with settlers on important matters. Male settlers were allowed to elect burgesses – representatives to the government

Representative Government Cont’d The burgesses met in an assembly called the House of Burgesses – made laws for the colony (Virginia) House of Burgesses marked the beginning of representative government – voters elect representatives to make laws for them At first, free Virginians had more rights that citizens of England. However, soon voting was restricted to free, white, male, property owners.

Concluding Activity Turn to textbook page 92 and read the laws listed there. With your partner, discuss and then write down why these laws were necessary.
