Colonial Beginnings

Roanoke The Lost Colony Gov. John White made 2 trips to Virginia 1 st trip – check out the area 2 nd trip – bring 100 settlers for settlement Food was scarce…many starved to death

Roanoke The Lost Colony White returned to England to get supplies When he returned, he found NOTHING…no signs of civilization The only clue…“CRO” carved in tree CROCRO

Jamestown, Virginia Why is Jamestown so important? It was the 1 st permanent English settlement Named in honor of King James Chartered by the Virginia Company Motivation for settlement – gold/silver

Problems: Area low-lying/swampy (mosquitos carried malaria) Summers – hot & humid Winters – bitter cold; settlers arrived too late to plant crops Attacks from the Natives

By the end of the first year only 38 of 103 settlers were alive Gentlemen were “too good” to work…they were there to search for gold ($$$) The colony desperately needed leadership…and John Smith stepped up

JOHN SMITH Ruthless man Arrived during the 2 nd winter (1608) Created work ethic among the colonists – “Work or die” during this “starving time”

Smith kept notes that were made into a book He was captured by thePowhatan Indians. His life was spared when he befriended Pocahontas. A gunpowder accident caused John Smith to return to England.

JOHN ROLFE John Rolfe takes over and brings 800 more settlers with him to Jamestown He becomes the 1 st successful European tobacco farmer Tobacco caused increased problems with the Natives. Why? Planting tobacco fields meant expanding the size of the Jamestown colony

John Rolfe meets and marries Pocahontas She becomes a Christian and is baptized as Rebecca Rolfe returns to England with Rebecca when he is summoned by the Virginia Company

Jamestown Housing

House of Burgesses 1 st representative government in the New World – allowed for elected officials to represent colonists Created local laws Dutch ships bring in Africans to work tobacco crops in Jamestown

Separatists Better known as the Pilgrims Separated from the Church of England Fled to Holland…and were dissatisfied w/ Holland Contacted the Virginia Company regarding sailing to New World

Mayflower 35 of the 102 passengers were Separatists (the others were commoners from England) Leader – William Bradford Sailed for 66 days What did they have to eat? Nothing but cheese, hard bread, fish, beer Were sailing to Plymouth

Mayflower Compact A storm blew them off course, and they landed outside the Virginia Company limits in which later became Massachusetts – this meant their charter was no good A compact was created – established laws for the good of the colony Created self-government (majority rule) – ”civil government” 8 males did not sign – they were under 15 or indentured servants
