15. Lesson 1: Hard Times in Virginia
How did England found Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in 1607?
Roanoke Island (NC) was a failed attempt by Walter Raleigh (1585) and John White (1587) and is known as the “Lost Colony.” England and Spain were at war. England wanted gold, natural resources, and prevent Spanish from colonizing North America. Francis Drake raided Spanish ships helping win Battle of the Spanish Armada (1588). John Smith settles Jamestown (1607) Powhatan assist settlers with food during the Starving Time. John Rolfe raises tobacco (1612) as a cash crop. Indentured servants arrive and the House of Burgesses is assembled.

20. Historical Context Sheet
1607 English settlers first land in Jamestown.
Winter Almost 150 (of 214) English colonists die from starvation and hardship.
1619 Virginia’s population grows rapidly to 1,400.
Native Americans launch attacks against English
settlements and kill 347 settlers.
Colonists respond by poisoning and killing 250 Native Americans.
1634 Colonists build a wall across the Virginia Peninsula.
An English Captain wrote that the wall “completely excludes the Indians; this will be of extraordinary benefit to the country."

1646 First Indian reservations established for surviving Powhatan
Indians.

21. Answers will vary but must include specific language or detailed description of geographical features, people, structures, etc. The word Powhatan is focused and stretched. A fort appears in the bottom right, isolated from mainland. English ships and Indian canoes appear side by side in the main waterway. A man with a musket points in the direction of Indians. Animals, such as wild boar and fish, appear exaggerated.
Answers will vary but must include specific language or detailed description of geographical features, people, structures, etc. The word Virginia is focused and stretched. Mountains appear towards the top and trees dot the land, with the Chesapeake labeled on the bottom. Sir Francis Drake’s landing of 1577 is on the western coast. Birds, fish, and boar appear.
Answers will vary but must include specific language or detailed description of geographical features, people, structures, etc. Less focus on Indian presence occurs in Map B (no mention of Indian words, illustrations, etc). Map B features other colonies, such as Carolina, Holland (Sweed) and the exact date of Maryland “Lord Baltimore in 1655.” Map A is more focused on the Powhatan land while Map be states the latitude of English colonies.
These maps differ because for a variety of reasons. Fifteen years separate the dates of creation and are created by different cartographers. However, the differences are most influenced by the historical events between 1636 and The English outnumbered the Powhatan and attacks between the Indians and the English continued for 17 years. A fort was built in 1634 and appears on Map A. By 1651, Indian populations declined and English colonies expanded.
The colonists reflect their misunderstandings about land size and location by thinking that the west coast of Virginia is the west coast of the New World. They exaggerate certain animals and Indian presence indicating their fears.

22. The colonists have a more aggressive and fearful attitude towards Indians in the 1630s based on frequent attacks from both sides. By 1646, a reservation was established indicating a more “peaceful” separation or even protection for the Indians.
The colonists clearly misunderstood the size and boundaries of the land in Virginia even in They think that the Great Sea of the Indies is located just to the west of the Virginia. Great attention is given towards people in the earlier map, where as natural resources are featured on Map B.
Maps change over time because the history of human experiences influences people’s perceptions. (Use of a specific experience would be preferred here). Historical events, as well as knowledge (or presumed knowledge) of the land influenced how the land was drawn on the map.
I would predict that great accuracy in distance and natural resources would occur, along with less Indian occupation.
By 1800 and 1900, cities would replace villages, and such spaces would be referred to as states.
Even in 1651, the Edward Williams is still convinced that North America is India, and that the body of water on the west coast of Virginia is the Sea of China (the body of water to the east of India). Virginia is still thought to be India, not part of North America, but still part of Asia.

26. Lesson 2: New European Colonies
The search for a Northwest Passage led to the founding of French and Dutch colonies in North America
Samuel de Champlain, a French explorer, explored the St. Lawrence River and founded Quebec in The fur trade also led to founding of Montreal, creating New France.
Henry Hudson, an English sea captain, sent by the Dutch in 1609, explored the “Hudson” River. New Amsterdam was built on Manhattan Island in 1624, founding New Netherland.
The Northwest Passage was never found, but beaver fur in Canada and the location of Manhattan created thriving trade centers for the French & Dutch.

30. The Pilgrims were seeking religious freedom.
The Pilgrims were supposed to go to Virginia, but their ship went off course, and they ended up much farther north at Cape Cod.
During the Pilgrims’ first spring in New England, they were greeted in English by Samoset and taught where to fish and hunt and how to farm by Squanto.
Squanto had been captured by European traders and sold into slavery in Spain. He escaped to England, where he learned English
The Pilgrims were grateful for their first harvest and the help the Wampanoag had given them to survive their first year.
The Puritans were seeking religious freedom and built Massachusetts Bay Colony.

46. Democracy in Early America?
What are the requirements to vote in 2010?
United States citizen
18 years of age or older
Length of residency varies per state
What were the requirements to vote in early colonial America?
Varied per region and based on traditional English patterns but typically:
white male property owners ( although property requirements varied from city and town dwellers)
Sometimes paying taxes also qualified a person (South Carolina)
royal declaration and by appointed officers (southern)
some residency requirements

47. Expressions of Democracy
On the right side, draw a physical image of a typical voter in early colonial America
Think of the words to describe the typical voters in early colonial America and write these in the available white space.
On the left side, write your name on the blank and draw physical features of yourself in or voting age of 18.
Think of words that are characteristics (physical or intellectual) of yourself and write these in the available white space.
HIGHLIGHT any words that you have in common!!
Sir William Blackstone notes, “The true reason of requiring any qualifications, with regard to property, in voters, is to exclude such persons as are in so mean a situation that they are esteemed to have no will of their own” (Keyssar, 2009, p. 8).
