The first attempts, notably the Colony of Roanoke , resulted in failure, but successful colonies were soon established. The colonists who came to the New World were by no means a homogeneous mix, but rather a variety of different social and religious groups which settled in different locations on the seaboard. The Quakers of Pennsylvania , the Puritans of New England , the gold-hungry settlers of Jamestown , and the convicts of Georgia each came to the new continent for vastly different reasons, and they created colonies with very different social religious political , and economic structures. To summarize the areas of development in colonial America, historians typically recognize four regions in the lands that later became the eastern United States. Listed from north to south, they are: New England , the Middle Colonies , the Chesapeake Bay and the Southern Colonies frontier had certain unifying features no matter what sort of colony it sprang from.

History of Jamestown Home : History The Far East has its Mecca, Palestine its Jersualem, France its Lourdes, and Italy its Loretto, but America's only shrines are her altars of patriotism - the first and most potent being Jamestown; the sire of Virginia, and Virginia the mother of this great Republic. from a 1907 Virginia guidebook In June of 1606, King James I granted a charter to a group of London entrepreneurs, the Virginia Company , to establish a satellite English settlement in the Chesapeake region of North America. By December, 108 settlers sailed from London instructed to settle Virginia, find gold and a water route to the Orient. Some traditional scholars of early Jamestown history believe that those pioneers could not have been more ill-suited for the task. Because Captain John Smith identified about half of the group as "gentlemen", it was logical, indeed, for historians to assume that these gentry knew nothing of or thought it beneath their station to tame a wilderness. Recent historical and archaeological research at the site of Jamestown suggest that at least some of the gentlemen and certainly many of the artisans, craftsmen, and laborers that accompanied them all made every effort to make the colony succeed.

Shop for books on . . . Native Americans in Colonial Times Changes in the Land : Indians, Colonists, and the Ecology of New England by William Cronon In this landmark work of environmental history, William Cronon offers an original and profound explanation of the effects European colonists' sense of property and their pursuit of capitalism had upon the ecosystems of New England. Reissued here with an updated afterword by the author and a new preface by the distinguished colonialist John Demos, Changes in the Land, provides a brilliant inter-disciplinary interpretation of how land and people influence one another. With its chilling closing line, "The people of plenty were a people of waste," Cronon's enduring and thought-provoking book is ethno-ecological history at its best. Wilderness Empire: A Narrative by Allan W. Eckert For over two hundred years no Indian force in America was so powerful and feared as the Iroquois League. Throughout two thirds of this continent, the cry of "The Iroquois are coming!" was enough to demoralize entire tribes. But these Iroquois occupied and controlled a vast wilderness empire which beckoned like a precious gem to foreign powers. France and England secured toeholds and suddenly each was claiming as its own this land of the Iroquois. Alliance with the Indians was the key; whichever power controlled them could destroy the other. Wilderness Empire is the gripping narrative of the eighteenth-century struggle of these two powers to win for themselves the allegiance of the Indians in a war for territorial dominance, yet without letting these Indians know that the prize of the war would be this very Iroquois land. It is the story of English strength hamstrung by incredible incompetence, of French power sapped by devastating corruption. It is the story of the English, Indian and French individuals whose lives intertwine in the greatest territorial struggle in American historythe French and Indian War.

Historical Highlights of North Carolina Early History Colonial Period The Halifax Resolves Revolutionary War to Civil War ... Twentieth Century Early History At the time of the first European contact, North Carolina was inhabited by a number of native tribes Since most historical accounts of travelers and settlers dealt with either the Cherokee or the Algonquian, little is known about the Siouan peoples and their pre-contact cultures. The descriptions which follow will deal with the Cherokee as representative of the Iroquoian, with the Catawba as representative of the Siouan-speakers and the piedmont tribes, and the coastal Algonquian. Coastal Algonquian At the time of the first contact of Europeans with the Indians, the Algonquian tribes occupied the tidewater areas of the Atlantic Coast extending from Canada to as far south as the Neuse River in North Carolina. In 1584, the estimated 7,000 Algonquians living in North Carolina were relative newcomers to the Southeast, having come in a series of migrations. To some extent, they retained cultural elements from their Northeastern Algonquian traditions, but there was also a great deal of cultural borrowing from their southern neighbors as they adapted to the geographical and climatic conditions of the area, in that they were more water-oriented and placed more emphasis upon hunting, fishing, and gathering than did most of their neighbors. Catawba The Catawba was one of the Siouan-speaking tribes of the piedmont area of the Carolinas at the time of the first European contact. Little is known of their culture and life style at that time, since contact was few and sporadic and little was documented of their culture. What is known, is based largely on the writings of John Lawson, who explored the piedmont territory and visited the Catawba in 1701.

A Colonial Time Capsule: A WebQuest A WebQuest for 3rd Grade Students Designed by: Elizabeth O'Connell Table of Contents Introduction Task Process Resources ... Credits and References Introduction It is centuries from now and the world has achieved the ultimate goal: world peace. In order to protect this achievement, each nation has agreed to dismantle its own government to create one unified nation. Individual countries will no longer exist. The people of the United States of America look forward to a world without war and conflict, but they are unwilling to forget their country’s history. They want to remember their years of progress as a nation, and they want these memories to serve as a reminder for future generations of their mistakes and their successes. In order to do this, they have decided to go back in time and ask people of each historical period in America to choose 5 artifacts to include in a time capsule that will be unearthed at the right time. This time capsule will be a memoir of the United States of America. Back to Table of Contents Task A time capsule is a collection of artifacts buried underground by a group of people. The capsule is usually dug up years later so that the newer generation can see how their ancestors lived. You will imagine that you are a person living in the New World during the colonial period. With two other colonists, you will decide on five artifacts that best represent the colonial years. But here is the catch. Each one of you will be from a different colonial area, either the New England colonies, the Middle colonies, or the Southern colonies. The challenge is to choose artifacts that accurately represent each one of you, and the hardships that people in your area overcame. Focus on these aspects of colonial life: daily life for both adults and children, religion, government, occupations, farming, and schooling.

Colonial America (1492-1763) The Pilgrims landing on Plymouth Rock, December 1620 European nations came to the Americas to increase their wealth and broaden their influence over world affairs. The Spanish were among the first Europeans to explore the New World and the first to settle in what is now the United States. By 1650, however, England had established a dominant presence on the Atlantic coast. The first colony was founded at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. Many of the people who settled in the New World came to escape religious persecution. The Pilgrims, founders of Plymouth, Massachusetts, arrived in 1620. In both Virginia and Massachusetts, the colonists flourished with some assistance from Native Americans. New World grains such as corn kept the colonists from starving while, in Virginia, tobacco provided a valuable cash crop. By the early 1700s enslaved Africans made up a growing percentage of the colonial population. By 1770, more than 2 million people lived and worked in Great Britain's 13 North American colonies.
