The Native Americans Native Americans have been here at least thirty times longer than Europeans! There is no true record of what went on here before Europeans arrived They taught the Europeans things about agriculture, woodcraft, maize, beans, squash, maple sugar, snowshoes, toboggans, and canoes

Pilgrims & Puritans In 1620 a small group (pilgrims) sailed here on the Mayflower They came for religious freedom from corruption in the church They established Plymouth, Mass. Puritans came to America soon after and created the Mass. Bay Colony. Puritans came to America to work on the corruptions of the church

Puritan Beliefs Humans exist only for the glory of God Predestination (belief that God has already decided the chosen ones that will go to heaven) Continual hard work Self-discipline

Religious Change The Plymouth colony was engulfed eventually by the Mass. Bay Colony Their beliefs blended By the 1700’s Puritanism was on the decline In 1720 the Great Awakening occurred. The Great Awakening was a movement of many religious revivals throughout churches which lead to many Protestant conversions

The Southern Planters The Southern colonies differed from the colonies of New England They lived on large plantations Up to a thousand people might have lived and worked there (many of them enslaved) First slaves were brought to Va. In 1619 Note that slavery did exist in EVERY colony

Literature Native American literature was oral, so there are no set versions of their work. It deals with the natural world and how it connects to spirituality Explorer Accounts tell of their journeys to America and westward Religious writings include journals, diaries, sermons, hymns, historical records ***The Puritans felt that fiction and drama were both sinful.

What we will be reading From the “Journal of the First Voyage to America” by Christopher Columbus From “Of Plymouth Plantation” by William Bradford Poetry by Anne Bradstreet, Edward Taylor “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” by Jonathan Edwards
