The Native Americans No one really knows for sure how the first Native Americans can to North America. As early as 70,000 BC or as late as 10,000 BC. No written stories of the Native Americans exist. All were told orally until finally written down in the last 200 years. Native Americans usually greeted the early settlers as friends. Native Americans helped the early settlers in the ways of woodworking and agriculture.

Pilgrims and Puritans Arrived in 1620, religious reformers who wanted to “purify” the Christian church. Like the Plymouth colony, the Massachusetts Bay Colony was found by religious reformers (Puritans). Puritans tried to establish a model community guided in all aspects by the Bible (Theocracy).

Puritan Central Beliefs Human beings exist for the glory of God The Bible is the sole expression of God’s will. Predestination (idea that God has already decided who will achieve salvation and who will not). Must continually search your soul for signs of God’s grace. Can accomplish good only through continuous hard work and self-discipline.

The Southern Planters Whereas the northern colonies were established for religious freedom, the southern colonies were established for profit. Plantations were large scale agricultural enterprises and the center of commerce. The first black slaves were brought to America in 1619. The plantation system and slavery were closely connected from the beginning.
