2.2 Beginnings of English America Jamestown England and the New World Unifying the English Nation England's stability in the sixteenth century was undermined by religious conflicts. England and Ireland England's methods to subdue Ireland in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries established patterns that would be repeated in America. England and North America The English crown issued charters for individuals such as Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Walter Raleigh to colonize America at their own expense, but both failed. Motives for Colonization Anti-Catholicism had become deeply ingrained in English popular culture. A Discourse Concerning Western Planting argued that settlement would strike a blow at England's most powerful Catholic enemy: Spain. National glory, profit, and a missionary zeal motivated the English crown to settle America. It was also argued that trade, not mineral wealth, would be the basis of England's empire.

III. The Coming of the English The Social Crisis A worsening economy and the enclosure movement led to an increase in the number of poor and to a social crisis. Unruly poor were encouraged to leave England for the New World. Masterless Men The English increasingly viewed America as a land where a man could control his own labor and thus gain economic independence, particularly through the ownership of land. III. The Coming of the English English Emigrants Sustained immigration was vital for the settlement's survival. Between 1607 and 1700, a little over half a million persons left England. They settled in Ireland, the West Indies, and North America. The majority of settlers in North America were young, single men from the bottom rungs of English society. Indentured Servants Two-thirds of English settlers came to North America as indentured servants. Indentured servants did not enjoy any liberties while under contract. Land and Liberty Land was the basis of liberty. Englishmen and Indians The English were chiefly interested in displacing the Indians and settling on their land. Most colonial authorities acquired land by purchase. The seventeenth century was marked by recurrent warfare between colonists and Indians. Wars gave the English a heightened sense of superiority. The Transformation of Indian Life English goods were quickly integrated into Indian life. Over time, those European goods changed Indian farming, hunting, and cooking practices. Growing connections with Europeans stimulated warfare among Indian tribes.

Settling the Chesapeake The Jamestown Colony Settlement and survival were questionable in the colony's early history because of high death rates, frequent changes in leadership, inadequate supplies from England, and placing gold before farming. By 1610, only 65 settlers remained alive. John Smith's tough leadership held the early colony together. New policies were adopted in 1618 so that the colony could survive. Headright system A "charter of grants and liberties" provided an elected assembly (House of Burgesses), which first met in 1619. Powhatan and Pocahontas Powhatan, the leader of thirty tribes near Jamestown, eagerly traded with the English. English-Indian relations were mostly peaceful early on. Pocahontas married John Rolfe in 1614, symbolizing Anglo-Indian harmony. The Uprising of 1622 Once the English decided on a permanent colony instead of merely a trading post, conflict was inevitable. Opechancanough led an attack on Virginia's settlers in 1622. Through a treaty, the English forced Indians to recognize their subordination to the government at Jamestown and moved them onto reservations. The Virginia Company surrendered its charter to the crown in 1624. A Tobacco Colony Tobacco was Virginia's substitute for gold. The expansion of tobacco production led to an increased demand for field labor. Women and the Family Virginian society lacked a stable family life. Social conditions opened the door to roles women rarely assumed in England. The Maryland Experiment Maryland was established in 1632 as a proprietary colony under Cecilius Calvert. The charter granted Calvert "full, free, and absolute power." Religion in Maryland Calvert envisioned Maryland as a refuge for persecuted Catholics. Most appointed officials initially were Catholic, but Protestants always outnumbered Catholics in the colony.

Although it had a high death rate, Maryland offered servants greater opportunity for land ownership than Virginia. The New England Way The Rise of Puritanism Puritanism emerged from the Protestant Reformation in England. Puritans believed that the Church of England retained too many elements of Catholicism. Puritans considered religious belief a complex and demanding matter, urging believers to seek the truth by reading the Bible and listening to sermons. Puritans followed the teachings of John Calvin. Moral Liberty Many Puritans immigrated to the New World in hopes of establishing a Bible Commonwealth that would eventually influence England. They came to America in search of liberty and the right to worship and govern themselves. Puritans were governed by a "moral" liberty, "a liberty to that only which is good," which was compatible with severe restraints on speech, religion, and personal behavior. The Pilgrims at Plymouth Pilgrims sailed in 1620 to Cape Cod aboard the Mayflower. Before going ashore, the adult men signed the Mayflower Compact, the first written frame of government in what is now the United States. Local Indians provided much valuable help to the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621.

The Great Migration The Massachusetts Bay Company was charted in 1629 by London merchants wanting to further the Puritan cause and to turn a profit from trade with the Indians. New England settlement was very different from settlement in the Chesapeake colonies. New England had a more equal balance of men and women. New England enjoyed a healthier climate. New England had more families. The Puritan Family Puritans reproduced the family structure of England with men at the head of the household. Women were allowed full church membership and divorce was legal, but a woman was expected to obey her husband fully. Government and Society in Massachusetts Massachusetts was organized into self-governing towns. Each town had a Congregational Church and a school. To train an educated ministry, Harvard College was established in 1636. The freemen of Massachusetts elected their governor. Puritan democracy was for those within the circle of church members. Puritan Liberties Puritans defined liberties by social rank, producing a rigid hierarchal society justified by God's will. The Body of Liberties affirmed the rights of free speech and assembly and equal protection for all. Although ministers were forbidden to hold office in Massachusetts, church and state were closely interconnected.
