Virginia Becomes a royal colony-ruled by a governor chosen by the king. Tobacco farmers established large farms called plantations. Headright system: – Colonists who paid their own way to colony received 50 acres of land. Received 50 more acres for every additional person brought over.

Labor in Virginia Indentured servants: servants who signed a contract to work for 4-7 years for those who paid for their passage to the colony Dutch ship brought the first Africans – Some were servants who became successful farmers at end of term – Others were slaves Eventually demand for workers too great for the supply of indentured servants. Slave labor became the norm

Maryland 1620 George Calvert asked King Charles I for a charter to establish a colony for Catholics 1632 charter issued to Calvert’s son. Proprietary colony-colony’s proprietors, or owners, controlled the government Raised corn, cattle, and hogs to eat. Raised tobacco for profit.

Each town in the colony sent delegates to the court, which served as the governing body Politics and religion closely linked. Government leaders had to be church members, ministers had a lot of power, only male church members could vote

Connecticut 1636 Thomas Hooker and his followers leave Massachusetts Fundamental Orders of Connecticut-allowed men who were not church members to vote and made government more democractic
