Prior to this time there were already Spanish settlements in Florida; the French had colonized in South Carolina and Champlain was contemplating his colony on the St. Lawrence river; De Soto had discovered the Mississippi River and Sir Francis Drake as well as the Spanish had explored the Pacific Coast; and, of course, the Spanish had a large presence in the Caribbean and Southern North America. The products of the new world were already being sampled in Europe as tobacco was introduced by slave traders in England as early as 1565; sugar cane and its by-product, Demon Rum, were being produced in the Caribbean; and fish and furs were being harvested from the Northern continent. By the end of the cycle, a dozen hardy colonies were functioning as a valuable component of the British colonial empire.

Hector St. John de Crevecoeur, 1782 NEW PEOPLES Most settlers who came to America in the 17th century were English, but there were also Dutch, Swedes and Germans in the middle region, a few French Huguenots in South Carolina and elsewhere, slaves from Africa, primarily in the South, and a scattering of Spaniards, Italians and Portuguese throughout the colonies. After 1680 England ceased to be the chief source of immigration. Thousands of refugees fled continental Europe to escape the path of war. Many left their homelands to avoid the poverty induced by government oppression and absentee-landlordism. By 1690 the American population had risen to a quarter of a million. From then on, it doubled every 25 years until, in 1775, it numbered more than 2.5 million. Although a family could move from Massachusetts to Virginia or from South Carolina to Pennsylvania, without major readjustment, distinctions between individual colonies were marked. They were even more so between the three regional groupings of colonies NEW ENGLAND New England in the northeast has generally thin, stony soil, relatively little level land, and long winters, making it difficult to make a living from farming. Turning to other pursuits, the New Englanders harnessed water power and established grain mills and sawmills. Good stands of timber encouraged shipbuilding. Excellent harbors promoted trade, and the sea became a source of great wealth. In Massachusetts, the cod industry alone quickly furnished a basis for prosperity.

It started in 1607 when the first English settlers landed at Jamestown, Virginia. It ended with the Revolutionary War when the settlements were no longer colonies but part of a new nation. Throughout this period, people left their homes in the Old World (Europe) to settle in the New World (the Americas). American settlers started to build houses, start farms, and settle in to their new homes. Soon there were 13 colonies in all. TM Read our

Welcome to "Colonies" - part one in an American History unit study! In 1996 I was trying to plan an American History unit study that I could use for my twins when they reach high school age. I wanted to cover not only American history events, but also art, architecture, music and literature. I believed that these were a "reflection" of what was going on in society at various points of time and that they needed to be included in the study of history. The military moved us very suddenly that summer and I didn't get a chance to continue writing the unit study. As I write this today, we are studying world history for the next year or so - but I am continuing to think ahead to when we hit American history - and if I should continue to write this unit study. I was using several textbooks as resources and I refer to them often. You may feel free to use this 4 week unit (it is really a 5 week unit but 4 weeks are shown) in any way you want AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT SELL IT OR PUBLISH IT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION . In other words, you may print it up to share with a friend (or 10 friends) or share it with a homeschool support group - or even use it in a Co-op! However, since I am considering whether or not I have the time to finish writing this (and whether it is worth the time to write it) and may therefore include these items in the unit study (should I publish it) - you may NOT publish it without my permission!

Capital Cities United States Colonial History Europeans first came to America for many different reasons. A few were looking for the northwest passage or other routes and were hoping to find great riches on the new continent. Some were looking for adventure. Many came because of their religious beliefs and to avoid persecution in their former countries. Some came because of lack of opportunities and because of poor economic conditions in their former countries. Many arrived in America for the promise of land and profit. The first permanent English settlement was founded at Jamestown in 1607. Then the inhabitants of the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620. By 1733, the British Empire in the New World consisted of 13 colonies along the Atlantic coast of North America. In the early 1700s, the Spanish also made vast claims on the North American continent including what is now California, most of what is now the southwest states, Mexico, and Florida.

Until recent decades, the vast majority of those who chose to make the journey to the United States were of European origin. Most of today's immigrants come from Latin America and Asia. But, as VOA's Michael Bowman reports, wherever people come from, the most common reasons for seeking a new life in the United States remain the same.

United States Postal Systems On July 26, 1775, members of the Second Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, agreed ". . . that a Postmaster General be appointed for the United States, who shall hold his office at Philadelphia, and shall be allowed a salary of 1,000 dollars per annum . . . ." That simple statement signaled the birth of the Post Office Department, the predecessor of the United States Postal Service and the second oldest department or agency of the present United States of America. Click Here to Return to the Table of Contents Colonial Times In early colonial times, correspondents depended on friends, merchants, and Native Americans to carry messages between the colonies. However, most correspondence ran between the colonists and England, their mother country. It was largely to handle this mail that, in 1639, the first official notice of a postal service in the colonies appeared. The General Court of Massachusetts designated Richard Fairbanks' tavern in Boston as the official repository of mail brought from or sent overseas, in line with the practice in England and other nations to use coffee houses and taverns as mail drops. Local authorities operated post routes within the colonies. Then, in 1673, Governor Francis Lovelace of New York set up a monthly post between New York and Boston. The service was of short duration, but the post rider's trail became known as the Old Boston Post Road, part of today's U.S. Route 1.
