What is the main goal of Southern settlers?
What is the main goal of Northern settlers?
Be able to explain why and how the North and the South develop differently.
Why is the relationship between England and the colonies already starting to become fragile?
Big Questions!!!
What was Europe recovering from by the 15th century?
How would a massive increase in population influence Europe?
-Land values increase-Prosperity= Landlords want more land.-Trade increases-Rise in government power.
Europe is Finally Growing
Portugal- First to finance a long voyage-Start Slave Trade in Africa
-Columbus- Finally endorsed by Spain-Takes 3 ships (Nina, Pinta, & Santa Maria) -Lands in the BahamasCONSEQUENCE???
Europe is Changing
Conquistadores- Claim the whole worldGiven encomiendas- 1518- Cortez & 600 in MexicoAztecs defeat them initiallySmallpox takes over
Spain & the 3 G’s

Charter- Each colony was given a charter (document granting special privileges)
Corporate colonies- operated by joint-stock company.
Ex: Jamestown
Royal colonies- Under direct authority and rule of the king’s government. Ex: Virginia
Proprietary colonies- Under authority of individuals given charters by the king. Ex: Maryland, Pennsylvania
How do they get permission?
Joint-Stock Companies- Investors pool money to support a colony, but only if they received a charter.
Colonization- When one country takes control over another society and establishes a colony there.
How do they get the $
MercantilismAn economic policy that views the control of
trade as the most important factor in a nations prosperity.
Inc nation’s total wealth, but your limited by your nation
What should they do then?
Money Makin Mentality
Nationalism-Sir Francis Drake- “Sea Dogs” Raid Spanish
merchant ships (1560-1605)-Spanish Armada retaliate and fail
Why is this a big deal?
First English Settlements
Godspeed, Discovery, and Susan Constant
Landed on Jamestown, which became the first enduring colony in America.
The 3 Ships that were real, did have names, and were important!
Introduced Headright System- Pay for a voyage to America, get 50 acres.
Import Indentured Servants from England. Native AmericansSlavery- 1619- Dutch ship brought first
Africans over. 1650 only 400 African slaves in Viriginia.
Labor Shortage In Virginia
1622- English in Virginia started to become less friendly to Natives.
Costly attacks by the Powhatan Indians left Virginia Company broke.
James I revoked the charter and made it a Royal Charter.
Issues with the Natives
William Berkeley- Governor set up harsh taxes and used them for his own good. Controlled the Virginia House of Burgesses.
-Mostly hurt poorer settlers. Native American issues continued to rise and nothing was being done.
Nathaniel Bacon- decided to raise a militia and fight the Native Americans himself.
Berkeley declared this group illegal.
The rebellion continued and they even set Jamestown on fire.
Bacon died and the rebellion stopped.
Bacon’s Rebellion (Virginia)
Lasting DisputesSharp class differences between wealthy
planters and landless or poor farmersColonial resistance to royal control.
Rebellion Consequences
Acts of Trade and Navigation- Mercantilist policy with a series of
Navigation Acts (1650-1673)
1)Trade to and from the colonies could be carried only by English ships and operated by English crews
2)All goods imported to the colonies could only pass through English ports
3)Specified goods from the colonies could only be exported to England. Ex: Tobacco
Big Brother England
New England shipbuilding prosperedChesapeake tobacco had a monopoly in
EuropeEnglish military forces protected the colonies
from potential attacks from the French and Spanish
Positive Effects
1) Colonial manufacturing was severely limited. 2)Chesapeake farmers received low prices for
their crops.3)Colonists had to pay high prices for
manufactured goods from England.
*How do you think the colonists respond to these effects?
*What does Bacon’s Rebellion foreshadow about the future?
Negative Effects

Triangular Trade
Triangular Trade
“The closeness of the place, the heat of the climate, added to the number in the Ship, which was so crowded that each had scarcely room to turn himself, almost suffocated us. This produced copious perspirations, so that the air soon became unfit for respiration from a variety of loathsome smells, and brought on a sickness among the slaves, of which many died.”
Olaudah Equiano
