Warm-Up: In your own words, define Mercantilism What were the three main keys to mercantilism?

Indentured Servants In the early years of the colonies, the labor supply came from Indentured Servants. They agreed to work for a landowner for a period of 4 to 7 years in return for passage to America, food and housing. By the late 1600’s the system of Slavery increased to meet the demand for labor in the American Colonies.

Bacon’s Rebellion Colony of Jamestown, VA- economic trouble (due to bad weather, poor tobacco crops) Blamed Indians (scapegoat) Nathaniel Bacon- led attacks against Indians which were not supported by Governor of Jamestown, VA Bacon and supporters were arrested Bacon invaded and took over the town- set fire to it because he could not defend it Bacon died unexpectedly and rebellion was over Virginia planters turn to African slavery as an alternative source of labor to indentured servants.

Slavery in the Colonies Triangular Trade

Middle Passage The Middle Passage refers to the forced transportation of West Africans to North America as part of the Atlantic Slave Trade. *Between 1450 and 1850 more than 12 million Africans were exported from Africa on slave ships

The Great Awakening A religious revival that swept across the colonies in the 1730s. Jonathon Edwards (Puritan) and George Whitefield (Anglican) were two notable preachers. New colleges were founded to train new ministers to preach. Today’s Ivy League Schools such as Princeton, Yale, Brown and Dartmouth were all established around this time. The Great Awakening helped to create a sense of spirit and independence that would be a factor in the move toward independence years later.

Freedom of the Press John Peter Zenger was found not guilty of libel (printing scandalous lies) for publishing a story about the corrupt governor of New York colony. Zenger’s Victory in this trial set the stage for freedom of the press in America.
