QUESTIONS:
1. What can you infer about these men? What are
they doing?
2. What words hint at their bias?
3. What do those words show you about how
they feel about the people and land they are
“discovering”?
MY ANSWERS:
1. The men are on an expedition or mission from
England to the Americas for the Queen. They
probably come from a higher class or have some
influence.
2. “savages,” “discovery,” “possession”
3. They see themselves as powerful and the
people they are encountering as weak or as less
than them

Exploration:
an organized trip into
unfamiliar regions,
esp for scientific
purposes; expedition
Colonization:
To migrate to and
settle in; occupy as a
colony.
Colony: A region politically

A CRISIS OF CONSCIENCE: BARTOLOME DE LAS
CASAS
•Bartolome
de las Casas was a Spanish

9.27.13
Students will know how
North America fit into the
British Empire.
What do you
know about
Great Britain?
1. Explain the factors that
caused people to move
around the world.
One factor that caused people to migrate are push
factors. These could be circumstances like
oppression or a bad economy. They cause people
to wish to leave a place.
Another factor that caused people to migrate are
pull factors, such as freedom, curiosity, or the
promise of a better life, which attract them to a
place.
2. Explain the importance of
the Columbian Exchange.
The importance of the Columbian Exchange
is that it started cross-Atlantic trade
between Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
It introduced new goods and ideas to
these places. It also brought new diseases
to new regions, wiping out entire
populations of people. Communication
also increased between countries.
3. Explain the importance
of primary sources in the
study of history.
Primary sources allow us to have a firsthand view of an event or time period.
We are also able to see the opinions of
the people involved. They are
unfiltered, so information has not been
changed.

Jamestown Research
Assignment
Jamestown Research Assignment
During the winter of 1610, disaster once again struck Jamestown. Only 60 of 500
colonists survived the period, now known as "the starving time." Historians have never
determined exactly why so many perished, although disease, famine (spurred by the
worst drought in 800 years, as climate records indicate), and Indian attacks took their
toll. On June 7, 1610, Jamestown's residents abandoned the hapless town, but the next
day their ships were met by a convoy led by the new governor of Virginia, Thomas
West, Lord De La Ware, who ordered the settlers back to the colony.
You will choose one of the four potential causes of “the
starving time” and research it. Was this the main cause? Why
or why not?
1.starvation
2.disease
3.political unrest leading to murder
4.arsenic poisoning
•You will produce a list of facts that you find that will help
you come to a conclusion.
•Within this list you will need to footnote the facts that you
find. Tutorial coming.

SOUTHERN COLONIES--TOBACCO
•King
James I called it a “stinking weed,” and “a
custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose,
harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs…”
Nevertheless, tobacco revolutionized the colony’s
economy and became the cash crop of Virginia.
Early Colonial Tobacco
1618 — Virginia produces 20,000 pounds of tobacco.
1622 — Despite losing nearly one-third of
its colonists in an Indian attack,
Virginia produces 60,000 pounds of
tobacco.
1627 — Virginia produces
500,000 pounds
of tobacco.
1629 — Virginia produces
1,500,000 pounds
of tobacco.

•
First Africans arrived in Jamestown in 1619.
 Their status was not clear → perhaps slaves,
perhaps indentured servants.
 Slavery not that important until the end of the
17c.
Indentured Servitude
Headright System:
 Each Virginian got 50 acres for each
person whose passage they paid.
Indenture Contract:
 5-7 years.
 Promised “freedom dues” [land, £]
 Forbidden to marry.
 1610-1614: only 1 in 10 outlived their
indentured contracts!
Colonial Slavery
• As the number of slaves increased, white
colonists reacted to put down perceived
racial threat.
 Slavery transformed from economic to
economic and racial institution.
 Early 1600s → differences between slave
and servant were unclear.
By the mid-1680s, black slaves
outnumbered white indentured
servants.

Slavery in America

of the slaves worked in the fields all over the

1.
Economy of New England
FUR TRADE
The Restoration gallant wore his high-crowned
beaver with an air, as did his lady; and he was
even prepared to buy a beaver second-hand, to
borrow an unbecoming hat so as to save his beaver
from the rain, or to purloin his friend's beaver
and leave a cheap hat in exchange. (2)
(2) Rich, E. E. 1958. The Hudson's Bay Company 1670-1870. The MacMillan
Company, N.Y., pp 48-49.
Puritan beliefs
•Jesus
Christ had been sent to earth to save
particular people, known as the “elect”.
•It
was difficult to know for certain if one was
saved or damned, so Puritans tried to behave in as
exemplary a manner as possible.
Traits of Puritanism
• Predestination
• Strong work ethic
• Literacy and education
• Community effort (as opposed to individualism)
• Man’s inherent sinfulness
• Wilderness as the devil’s province
• Puritans saw nature as God’s creation but
feared the disorder of the frontier and viewed Indians as
savages

ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL STRUCTURE OF THE
NEW ENGLAND COLONIES.
Entry Task:
Brainstorm 3 things you KNOW about the
Southern Colonies and 3 things you KNOW about
the New England colonies
Test on 10/30
Puritan values
•
Protestant work ethic
•
•
God "calls" us to certain work…
intense interest in moral behavior
Blue laws: A man, for example, was fined,
imprisoned, or whipped for non-attendance at church
services.
• Unity of purpose sought above all (not interest in
tolerance of other opinions)
•
John Winthrop (1606-1676)
Politics
•Mass.
Bay Comp. granted voting rights to
stockholders, and adult males who belonged to the church
•These
men voted for members of the General Court
•Gov’t officials were also church members
•Church
and State
•Clergymen were not allowed to hold political office
a. Congregation had the right to hire and fire ministers and
set salaries.
b. In effect, a form of separation of church and state.
c. Puritans in England had learned their lesson when they
suffered at the hands of the "political" Anglican clergy in
England.
Congregational church was "established": Non-church members as
well as believers required to pay taxes for the gov't supported
church.
Politics in New England
Townhall meetings emerged as a staple of
democracy
Purpose of government was to enforce God's laws
-- Hated democracy and distrusted non-Puritan
common people.
DISSENTERS
•Puritans
used government to enforce strict
religious rules that all Puritans were expected to
follow. Early dissenters were banished from the
MBC.
•1636--Connecticut formed by
Thomas Hooker, Puritan
minister
•1636--Rhode Island formed by Roger Williams, Puritan
minister
•1638--The city of Exeter in New Hampshire, formed by
John Wheelwright, Puritan minister
ALL OF THOSE MEN…
•Each
of those men had different situations but all
disagreed with the Puritanical MBC society in
some way.
•Mostly disagreed with the strict rules and
expectations imposed by the church through the
government
•Also disagreement about the role of good works
and good deeds in salvation.
MBC moving toward democracy?
Representative legislative assembly
formed in 1634 and after 1642
assembly met separately as a lower
house and was most influential part
of gov’t.
Success of the Pilgrims
1. Eventually settled in economically with fur,
fish, and lumber.
2. Religion remained paramount in the
community
3. William Bradford -- prominent leader; elected
Governor 30 times
-To Encourage farming, Bradford
distributed land among the settlers.
4. 1691, the small Plymouth colony of 7,000
people merged with MBC.
-- The king had refused to grant Pilgrims a
legal charter for Plymouth Plantation.

REVIEW
•
Clergymen could vote—they just couldn’t be
church officials (clergy) AND be gov’t officials
•
•
That’s too similar to the system in England for the
Puritans to handle
Dissenters often had followers—this allowed
them to be successful
•
If they were Puritan ministers, their congregations
often followed them to their new colonies/homes
•
Puritans and Pilgrims settled in Massachusetts
•
•
•
•
Pilgrims were a small group…but they were the first
British colonists in New England
Puritans were the dominant group that developed
the MBC
Pilgrims joined the MBC
Small “p” pilgrim is basically just a vocabulary
word…
Southern Colonies
•
British wanted in on the colonization mix…
•
•
•
•
•
First attempts were Roanoke and Jamestown
•
•
$$$
Resources
Power
influence
Joint stock companies
Developed cash crops
•
Tobacco, rice, indigo, sugar
Southern continued
•
•
•
Needed lots of people to grow and harvest
those cash crops
Indentured servants
Slave trade
