9 Early British Colonies Virginia and Maryland were two of the earliest British colonies. Each granted charter by the king. A charter is a document giving a person or group official approval to take a certain action.

10 The Rise Of Tobacco Five years after Virginia started with the settlement of Jamestown in 1607 settlers began to grow tobacco as a cash crop. A cash crop is a crop people raise to sell rather than to use themselves.

12 Connecticut In 1636, settlers living in villages along the Connecticut River joined together to form the Connecticut colony. The most famous of these settlers was a minister called Thomas Hooker.

13 Thomas Hooker Thomas Hooker thought that a colony’s government should be based on the will of its people, not its leaders. In 1639 the colony adopted Hooker’s beliefs in the form of the Fundamental Orders, the first written system of government in North America.

14 Fundamental Orders The Fundamental Orders allowed Connecticut’s male colonists to elect their government leaders. Connecticut was the first colony to allow “some” of their colonists to elect their leaders.

15 Which was the first written system of government in North America? 1.Bill of Rights 2.The Constitution 3.The Fundamental Orders

16 Colonists Survival The colonists couldn’t survive just by owning land. They needed a cash crop. They tried tobacco, silk, grapes, and cotton. They had more success raising cattle, collecting furs, and making tar from pine trees.

17 Colony Division IN 1712 the northern two-thirds of the chartered area was divided into two colonies; North and South Carolina. In 1733 the bottom portion was named after King George II. This portion became Georgia.
