 SS.8.A.2.5: Discuss the impact of colonial
settlement on Native American populations.
England and Spain had been
heading toward war for years.
 They were rivals in nearly every
category.

 Religion, territory, exploration.
The English finally achieved
victory in 1604 and defeated the
Spanish Armada.
 England was now free to start
colonies in North America,
Spanish Naval Dominance was
over.

There was an English colony
on Roanoke Island. (coast of
North Carolina).
 Roanoke had one very harsh
winter, when the winter was
over people went to the
island to help settle.
 Everyone was gone.
 The only clue they found was
the word Croatoan. The
colonist were never seen
again.

Captain John Smith was
an experienced soldier
and explorer. He became
the governor of
Jamestown.
 Pocahontas did NOT
marry John Smith. She
married his successor
John Rolfe.

Jamestown became the first
permanent English colony.
 The town almost didn’t succeed.
After a hard winter and Captain
John Smiths return to England
the colony failed to stockpile
enough food. By early 1608 only
38 people were still alive.
 When Tobacco from the west
indies was introduced it became a
commercial success and
guaranteed that Jamestown
would survive.



Don’t write this down.
The marriage of Pocahontas to John Rolfe in 1614 was
followed by eight years of peace between the Native
Americans and the English. When the Rolfes went to
England, Pocahontas was received with royal honor
by King James I and Queen Anne. When Pocahontas
died of smallpox in 1617, Thomas Rolfe (her son), was
educated in England. Upon Thomas’s return to
Virginia, he became an important settler. Today many
prominent Virginians claim to be his descendents.

the LOST COLONY OF ROANOKE.
 You will split your paper into 6 boxes on the front and
back. (Total of 12 pictures)
 You are graded on effort and creativity, not on your
drawing ability.

ensured the survival of
Jamestown?
2. What word was the only clue
left at the colony of Roanoke?
3. OCSR: What are the 3 G’s?

Question:
Why did people settle in the
New England colonies? (What
was their main purpose)
SS.8.A.2.2: Compare the
characteristics of the New
England, Middle, and Southern
colonies.
Unlike the Jamestown settlers
the next major wave of settlers
came to the Americas
searching for Religious
Freedom.
 The two major groups were
the;

 Puritans: They wanted to
reform the Anglican Church
(Church of England).
 Separatists: They wanted to set
up their own churches.


Separatists gained their
religious freedom by
giving the Virginia
Company a share of any
profits they made.
They also considered
themselves Pilgrims
because their journey had
a religious purpose.
They Mayflowers passengers planned
to settle in the Virginia colony. Instead
they made land fall at Cape Cod.
 Before they made landfall they all
signed The Mayflower Compact which
they agreed to follow all laws passed
and establish a civil body politic.

 Basically this is a foundation for a
representative government. Where
people give up some of their freedoms
for the greater good.
During their first winter in Cape Cod
nearly ½ of the settlers died from
malnutrition and exposure.
 In the spring some Native Americans
befriended the remaining colonists.
 Squanto and Samoset, showed the
Pilgrims how to grow corn, beans, and
pumpkins and where to hunt and fish.
 The Pilgrims also signed a treaty with
Massasoit one of the major tribal
leaders, and lived in harmony…


England colonies seeking?
2. What two Indians really helped the
colonist in their first winter?

Compact
Question:
Why do you think that the
colonist moved into the Native
Americans territory without
permission?
SS.8.A.2.5: Discuss the impact
of colonial settlement on
Native American populations.
In 1625 another large group of
people came seeking religious
freedom, and to establish a
society based on the bible.
 These people were the Puritans.
 John Winthrop, became the
colony governor.

 They settled in Boston.

During the 1630’s more than
15,000 Puritans moved to
Massachusetts to escape religious
persecution and hard economic
times in England. This became
known as the Great Migration.

Some of the colonists did
not like the way Winthrop
was running the colony.
 They and some of their
followers moved to close
areas to establish their own
colonies.
 Hartfod Connecticut and
into Rhode Island.
Some people felt that their
religious freedom was even
challenged in America. They
didn’t want a religious
government, they only
wanted to practice anyway
that they chose to.
 This allowed for more and
more colonies to begin to
form in North East America.

With the Europeans continually
increasing in numbers, and
expanding their colonial presence
there was also many conflicts with
the Native Americans.
 New colonies would move into
Native land without permission or
payment.
 Many battles occurred between the
colonists and the Indians resulting in
deaths on both sides.



Take out a separate piece of binder paper.
Write ½ a page explaining why having
freedom of religion is important.
Write another ½ a page about what happens
when people try to force their own religious
views on others.
 Ex) Crusades, Terrorists, Jihads, Suicide bombers.
Warm up Activity:
1. Why did the Colonist move into
Native American Territory?
2. Why did people move into the
Northern Colonies?
3. OCSR: What are two interesting
facts about Columbus?
4. Define: Subsistence Farming,
Cash Crop.
Question:
 What types of crops did the New
England, Middle, and Southern
Colonies grow in order to survive?
Would you classify their crops as
“Cash Crops” or subsistence farming?
 SS.8.A.2.3: Differentiate economic
systems of New England, Middle, and
Southern Colonies.

 Pennsylvania was nearly
as large as England.
 Its founder was William
Penn, a Quaker.

Maryland (founded by Lord
Baltimore)
 Instead of focusing on just
Tobacco as their crops they made
every farmer who planted tobacco
had to plant two acres of corn.
 Established as a safe place for
Catholics escaping from England.
Virginia was continually
expanding.

Colony
New England Colonies
Middle Colonies
Southern Colonies
The British were not the only
Europeans colonizing North
America.
 The Spanish and French had
created colonies of their own.
 French founded Quebec in
1608.
 Most of their settlements were
along rivers as their main
reason for being in North
America was to capture
beavers and sell their pelts.

Flag of New France
In the 1600’s while other
European nations were
colonizing North America,
Spain had solidified its hold in
Mexico, Central, and South
America.
 They also had Missions in
California.

 A mission is a religious
settlement established to
convert people to a particular
faith.

Pennsylvania?
2. Who else besides Great Britain was
establishing colonies in America?
3. OCSR: What type of dwellings did
the Anasazi live in?
4. Define: Triangular Trade, Cash

Question:
 Why were slaves a vital part of
the American Colonist way of
life?
 SS.8.A.2.7: Describe the
contributions of key groups
(Africans, Native Americans,
women, and children) to the
society and culture of colonial
America.
The population of the
Colonies expanded greatly.
From 250,000 in 1700 to
2,500,000 people in 1770.
 Large influxes of
immigration, as well as
people having LARGE
families led to this population
growth.
 All colonies sustained
themselves through farming.






One of the largest trading
routes involved the Colonies,
England, and West Africa. This
was called Triangular Trade.
Sugar and Molasses went to
the colonies
Was turned into rum
The rum was sent to Africa and
traded for slaves
The slaves went to where the
sugar and molasses were
being farmed… etc.

The Middle Passage was
part of this Triangular trade.
 It was the part from
Africacolonies/west indies.
 African slaves would be put on
a ship and locked down below
during the entire voyage from
Africa to America.

The Southern Economy turned to
certain types of farming. Tobacco
and Rice were two big crops.
 Tobacco was the principal cash crop.
It was farmed in the south, then sold
in Europe.
 It was hard to farm and was labor
intensive (led to slaves)

In South Carolina and Georgia they
grew a lot of rice. This was also
labor intensive and was a cause for
more slaves to be sent to America.



Most slaves worked and lived
on Plantations. Some worked
inside the house (house
slaves), but most were used
for physical labor.
Slaves were often whipped, or
hung for breaking the
established rules. Those who
ran away were usually killed.
A majority of southerners did
NOT own slaves.


Take out a separate piece of binder paper.
Write a 1 page FIRST PERSON story about being
a slave on the middle passage.
 What did you endure, what did it smell, sound, and feel
like. How long did it take etc…
 First person example: I felt the wood underneath me
as I laid there. It smelled like rotten flesh.. Etc.

period? Do you believe that these
people were justified in their
ways?
 SS.8.A.2.4: Identify the impact of
key colonial figures on the
economic, political, and social
development of the colonies.

The theory of mercantilism is
that…
 As a nations trade grows, its
gold reserves increase, and the
nation becomes more powerful.
 In order to insure that they were
making money England had to
make sure that they were
exporting (sending out) more
goods than they were importing
(taking in from foreign markets).

With the American Colonies in full
swing Britain wanted to find ways to
benefit the most from their trade.
 Navigation Acts: England controlled
where the colonies goods went, and
who shipped them. They ensured that
ENGLAND and NOT the COLONIES
were in charge of all products.
 Certain products like sugar and
tobacco were ONLY allowed to be
shipped to England directly.

Of course some Colonist didn’t
like these laws and wanted to
ensure that THEY were the ones
making money. They were called
smugglers.
 They traded illegally with other
countries.

These controls over trade would
cause major problems in the
future between England and the
Colonies.



Question:
Why is the Magna Carta an
important political document?
SS.8.A.2.2: Compare the
characteristics of the New
England, Middle, and Southern
colonies.
By the 1600’s English colonists
had many ideas about how a
government should run.
 They already had the idea that a
government should not be all
powerful, even if run by a king.
 There were attempts to limit the
kings authority in the past.

 Magna Carta 1215 established a
limited monarchy.

They brought with them
ideas about how a
government should run.
 Trial by jury
 Limited governmental power
 Representative government.

These ideas were NOT
widely practiced by other
nations.

Charter Colonies (Connecticut, Rhode Island)
 Established by settlers who had been given a charter, or a grant
of rights and privileges.
 They elected their own governors and members of the
legislature.

Proprietary Colonies (Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania)
 Given land by Britain, free to rule as they wished.

Royal Colonies (Georgia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, North Carolina, south Carolina, Virginia.
 Britain directly ruled all royal colonies. The King appointed the
governor and council. This led to a lot of conflict between the
colonist and their colonies leaders.
Generally only white men
who owned property could
vote.
 Nearly all women, indentured
servants, poor, and African
Americans could not vote.
 Despite these limitations
MORE people in the Colonies
could vote than anywhere
else in the world.

colonies.




From the 1720’s to the 1740’s a
religious revival was taking place.
The Great Awakening was a rebirth
of strong religious faith.
Two important preachers during this
time were; Jonathan Edwards and
George Whitefield.
The great awakening led to the
formation and reform of many new
churches, and beliefs.
The culture in the colonies began to
drastically change from that in
England.
 A colonial farm was both a home and
a workplace.
 Mothers and fathers raised children,

 Women Cooked, made butter and
cheese, prepared food. Make clothes,
raised chickens and cows. They also
worked in the fields next to their
husbands.
 MenHeads of the house, managed
the farms and represented the family
in the community.

The colonies sons and daughters often
became apprentices of someone else.
 They learned a trade, or became more
specialized in the workforce.
Most colonists valued education. The
children were usually taught to read
and write at home by the parents.
 New laws began to pass in some
colonies that ensured there was access
to public schools.

 These schools were almost always ran
and taught by women.

Question:
 What was the primary difference
between the English and the French
reasons for creating colonies in the
Americas?
 SS.8.A.2.1: Compare the
relationships among the British,
French, Spanish, and Dutch in their
struggle for colonization of North
America.

During the middle 1700’s the
colonist were influenced by the
Enlightenment.
 This was the spread of ideas,
knowledge, reason, and science
to improve daily life.
The best known American
scientist was Benjamin
Franklin.
 Another important event was
taking place regarding
Freedom of the Press…

DON’T WRITE DOWN.
Freedom of Speech was NOT a common
occurrence during this time period.
 In many places if you spoke ill of a king or
lord you were severely punished.
 In America however John Peter Zenger
publically criticised the governor of New
York. He was brought up on charged and
found NOT GUILTY.
 This was an important stepping stone in
Americas development of Freedoms.




Great Britain and France had
been fierce competitor's in
nearly everything for
centuries. Often going to
war.
Now English Colonies had
expanded near French
Territories in the Americas.
Both the French and the English knew
that Native Americans (Indians) could
be a valued ally in times of war.
 The French had already established
long standing relationships with the
Natives while the British had not…

 Why?
▪ French were mostly interested in trading and
not permanent settlement.
▪ English had taken land from the Natives by
force and were planning to stay permanently.
In 1754 at just 21 years old George
Washington received his first
command. He was only a Lt.
Colonel.
 He was defeated by the French
and taken captive, however he
was later released.
 Even though he was defeated
legends spread of his Courage and
he was regarded as a Hero for
starting the fight against the
French.

Warm up Activity:
1. How old was George Washington
when he got his first command?
