2 Unhealthy Chesapeake FIRST: NOT AN EASY LIFE
Malaria, Typhoid and Dysentery…Oh MY! ½ of people in VG did not see 20 Slow growth, single men, few women…do the math

3 Harder on women Slow growth, immigration Eligible women did not remain single long Families fragile, hard to find mate, hard not to die Lots of unmarried mothers THEN Eventually began to survive More women =families VG and Maryland in top three pops by 18th century

4 Stinking Weed Ches. Perfect for Tobacco More Tab. =more labor
Took toll on soil Always need new land Aggravated Natives Prices fell due to overproduction Answer, make more? More Tab. =more labor Families too slow to grow, Natives die

5 Headright System If you pay passage, 50 acres
7 yrs service by 1700 At first pretty good system, but failed over time Even when released, if have no money, have to work for master for bad wages

6 Bacons Rebellion After a while a lot of poor freemen were wandering the roads 1670 VG disenfranchised them revolted led by Bacon, 29 yrs old Resented Berkley’s friendly policy with Natives Bacon attacked Natives Chased Berkley from Jamestown, burned capital Bacon suddenly died 23 hanged, Berkley called home Woke up serious fear in the minds of upper class, needed new working class

7 10 million Africans brought to New World in 3 centuries
400,000 in US 1680s saw change, able to focus on profit Post Bacon Colonial Slavery

Then anyone with a ship could do business Rhode Islanders Most from West Coast of Africa Worst part was Middle Passage Ended on auction blocks Slave codes evolved to separate slaves and servants Began a systematic racism that still exists

16 Life in NE Town Small villages and farms Religion connected them
Organized towns Militia Each family got land Education: Bible Harvard 1636 Limited Democracy in church and gov

17 Half Way Cov and Witches
Preachers worry losing faith Preach Jeremiads Sermons that scolded parishioners Seeing a decline in conversions Needed new way to get people in the fold

18 Baptism, but not full membership to non converted children
The line of elect and blurred Gave women more presence in church

19 witch Salem MA Witch hunt 20 dead Common in Europe City vs. farmland
1693 Gov. forbid 20 years later, the witches forgiven

20 New England way of Life Work ethic drove the NE colonies Less ethnically mixed Tough weather, but good soil Different crops then south, slavery not profitable They had impact on land, and land impacted them

21 Definition of Land: Own vs. Use =battle with Natives
English brought animals that had impact Shipbuilders and traders Fisherman Yankee Ingenuity spread across country

22 Early Settlers Schedules set by sun Agriculture economy
Women limited to inside work, men outside Simple, but better then if they lived in England Some class issues, but since most in same boat, more equal Nature made everyone equal Early Settlers
