The English Develop the New World The Virginia Company felt bringing resources from North America would make Britain wealthy. They formed Jamestown in 1607, named after their king. Joint-stock companies were formed in this era. In this system, a group of people invested money in hopes to make more money. Stock holders had rights to the profits.

This was a disastrous start in Virginia. Jamestown The Jamestown residents focused so much on finding gold that they neglected farming. Disease from bad water, hunger, and a poor focus on farming led to the deaths of many. This was a disastrous start in Virginia. Copyright, © USHistoryTeachers.com All Rights Reserved.

Location of Jamestown Use this map to show where Jamestown was located.

Tobacco Saves Jamestown More colonists arrived and the Virginia Company needed laborers to grow tobacco and sell it in Europe. The company offered free land to those who would work for them. -Tobacco would eventually make Jamestown a very wealthy area. Copyright, © USHistoryTeachers.com All Rights Reserved.

Indentured Servants Indentured servants were those who came and agreed to work four to seven years just to get to America. After the time period agreed upon, the indentured servant was set free. In 1619, enslaved Africans arrived; yet, many were set free. Slavery would increase after this era (mostly in the South). Most slaves were not set free.

Clashes with Natives and Other Conflicts The desire for more land led to conflict with Native Americans. Many of the Spanish intermarried with conquered peoples. However, many of the British forced Native Americans out of their areas. The Europeans often fought with each other as well. Copyright, © USHistoryTeachers.com All Rights Reserved.

Bacon’s Rebellion In 1676, Nathaniel Bacon confronted Virginia’s leadership at Jamestown in a conflict known as Bacon’s Rebellion. He wanted help from the government because he was having hostilities with Native Americans. He was denied assistance and rebelled. His rebellion failed, but it showed the colonists were restless and agitated. Copyright, © USHistoryTeachers.com All Rights Reserved.

The burning of Jamestown during Bacon’s Rebellion Use this picture to discuss Bacon’s rebellion.

Protestant groups began after 1517. In that year, Martin Luther, a German, claimed the Catholic Church needed reformed. This began the era of the Protestant Reformation. Eventually, England joined the movement and broke away from the Catholic Church and formed the Church of England (The Anglican Church). This is NOT in the notes. It is a slide to refresh the students on the impact of the Protestant Reformation on colonial groups such Pilgrims and Puritans. (Slides NOT on guided notes…just listen)

Some groups wanted to “purify” the Church of England and make it more reformed. They were called Puritans. Others wanted to leave the Anglican Church, called Separatists. A group of Separatists came to the an area called Plymouth for religious freedom, they were called Pilgrims. Likewise, a group of Puritans came and started the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Both groups are similar in that they were Protestant Christians whose theological beliefs were impacted by the Reformation. This is NOT in the notes. It is a slide to refresh the students on the impact of the Protestant Reformation on colonial groups such Pilgrims and Puritans. (Slides NOT on guided notes…just listen)

The Protestant Reformation in England King Henry the 8th joined the Protestant Reformation and broke away from the Catholic Church in the 1530s.

Some people were even Separatists, like the Pilgrims, who wanted to break away from the Anglican Church. Copyright, © USHistoryTeachers.com All Rights Reserved.
