Periodization and Turning Point 1607 was the founding of the first British Colony in America. 1752 marked the turn in America’s drive for independence. The creation of tobacco as a cash crop served as a turning point in this period. Without tobacco the Jamestown colony would have failed and we may not even be here today.
