England wants what Spain has….
Spain has colonies in the Americas which provides them with …. gold, silver, sugar cane plantations, etc… =Gold=$$$$$$$=POWER= Number 1 in World
9
England wants to become #1
Queen Elizabeth orders… English ships to capture Spanish ships near America and steal their cargo of gold, silver, and other products. England needs the $$$
10
England attacks Spanish settlements and set up their own settlements in North and South America.
Up and down the coast of the Americas, countries are attacking each others settlements. English attack on St. Augustine, 1586
11
Show me the $$$$$ England began directing its resources towards establishing colonies. The English government refused to fund the colonies. Private investors invested in colonies. Sir Walter Raleigh received permission from Elizabeth to start the first colony at Roanoke Island.
12
Roanoke Island 1585 This was England’s 1st attempt to start a colony.
The 1st colony was destroyed when the Natives realized that the English wanted their land and they stopped replenishing the English food supply. Colony failed and surviving members of the colony returned to England in 1586. Sir Walter Raleigh starts the first colony at Roanoke Island.

Roanoke: Take Two…. “The Lost Colony”
1587 John White, leader of the colony Brought his family to Roanoke. His granddaughter was the first English child (Virginia Dare) born in North America. 1587- White sails to England to get needed supplies Spain attacks England with the Spanish Armada. John White got stuck in England. Returned in 1590, by that time the colony had disappeared. Roanoke: Take Two…. “The Lost Colony”

1588!! The Spanish Armada King Phillip of Spain ordered 130 Spanish warships to attack England Sea Dogs (pirates who worked for England) and a storm defeated the Armada, the navy sailed back to Spain with less than half of their ships. This defeat had two important consequences: England would remain independent and could continue colonizing. Spain could be defeated…this led other countries to challenge Spain.
15
Jamestown was started for economic purposes…to make $$$$$$$$ for the company, themselves and the king. John Smith’s map of Virginia.
16
Jamestown Fort
17
Jamestown King James I issued a charter in 1606 to set up a colony that he hoped would make money for England. This is called an economic reason for setting up a colony. Jamestown was the first permanent English Colony. They named the colony Jamestown in honor of King James I. First successful colony for England. The colonists immediately ran into trouble. 1607 First day in Jamestown

Cash Crop=crops you grow to sell.
Tobacco 1612 John Rolfe developed a high quality tobacco plant that became the cash crop for Jamestown. Tobacco could be sold for a lot of money in England. Cash Crop=crops you grow to sell.
20
Tobacco Free Enterprise= people are free to own their own businesses and keep most of the money they make with their business. The government is limited on what it can take from the owner. The Virginia Company found that the people would work harder if they were allowed to keep some of the profit from the sale of the tobacco. Jamestown was the start of the FREE ENTERPRISE system in North America. Cash Crops helped Jamestown survive.
21
Slave=a person who is the property of another person.
1619 Slave=a person who is the property of another person. Slaves arrive to provide an inexpensive labor force . They were brought to America to harvest tobacco for English plantation owners. This is the beginning of slavery in America.

House of Burgesses Colonist set up their own government because they became annoyed with the strict rule of the governor. Local Control. Representatives were elected by the people of the colony. Assembly could meet once a year. The House of Burgesses was the first elected assembly in the American colonies. 1619
