British Colonies in North America A quick Review

New England Colonies GETTING A NEW START

Religious Beginnings New England starts with the Pilgrims- a group looking to find religious freedom from King James. Pilgrims were in search of Jamestown (1st colony in America- 1607) Land in Plymouth, MA. Create order through Mayflower Compact (CA p. 98 & HA! P. 428)

Puritans & “The New England Way” Puritans arrive in New England with same principles as Pilgrims. Begin the Great Migration to New England Puritans have very strict rules of the proper Godly way to live

The Puritan Way is not the only way! Other groups splinter off from Puritans to start own way to live. Causes- Puritan relationship with Native Americans Leave one ruler to be under another ruler.

Puritans flex muscle in King Phillip’s War P.68 in textbook- Reasons for conflict: Land and trade! Major Result- European influence becoming power over Native Americans.

Middle Colonies Growth and Diversity

City Life Role of Cash Crops Ports become major cities due to trade. Tobacco, lumber, grains (wheat, barley, oats) Cultural and Religious Diversity- Many different nationalities (p.117- CA) Diversity leads to more willingness for acceptance Examples- pp.69-72 (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, map on p.71)

Southern Colonies Watch us Grow!

Plantation Life Southern economy based on successful farming Climate Conditions Crops Direct colonial trading for other needs

Plantation system and its effects Indentured Servant Slavery Half the cost of slaves. Worked to gain freedom, but could not make it on their own. Always could get more. Must purchase at twice the price. Slaves and servants both suffered from short life expectancy (disease and illness)

Move to slavery What changed?? Around 1650- Life expectancies were longer. Improved immune systems and better food and water available. Servants started to outlive their indentures. Servants would take over farms and create more competition with other owners. Decline in birth rate in London and better opportunities elsewhere. By 1700- 16,000 slaves made up 28% of the total population in Virginia.

Commerce in the Early Colonies Three methods of Trading Direct Trade with other colonies Direct Exchange of goods with Europe- Most profitable for Europe. England’s reliance on Mercantilism Triangular Trade- Most profitable for Colonists. (CA p.111)

Britain’s Investment Britain feels obligated to Colonial profits- why? Passes Navigation Acts of 1651 (p. 112-CA) All shipping to be done in English ships or made by English colonies. Raw materials trade only with England. European imports must pass through English ports. Non- English trade was to be taxed.

Change in power in British Colonies Change in government from England. Diverse Religions develop A Major contributing factor- TAVERNS!! New town center Learned news of surrounding regions Illiteracy stemmed growth- newspapers were read.
