The Puritans arrived in Massachusetts in 1628 and 1630, establishing the settlements of Salem and Boston respectively. John Winthrop led the second group and hoped Boston would be an example of Christian living. In 1630, Winthrop became governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony and established strict religious laws. Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson were expelled for their dissenting religious beliefs, leading them to establish Providence and Rhode Island respectively. Other settlements like Hartford and Portsmouth were also established, contributing to New England's growth. However, this expansion caused conflicts with Native Americans over land, culminating in the devastating King Philip's War of 1675.

Town hall meetings gave citizens a voice in decision making and representative assemblies passed laws, establishing foundations of American democracy.
New England Colonies
The Pilgrims fled religious persecution in England and arrived on the Mayflower in 1620, settling in Plymouth. Over half of the Pilgrims died the first winter due to harsh conditions. They survived with the help of the Wampanoag people, with whom they had the first Thanksgiving in 1621. The Puritans established the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630 to build a "city upon a hill" as a religious community separate from the Church of England. They prospered more quickly than earlier colonies and other New England colonies like Connecticut and Rhode Island were founded in the following decades, establishing religious freedom in the region.

Early British Colonies U.S. History
The early British colonies were established for economic reasons, with the first being Jamestown in 1607. Tobacco became a profitable crop in Virginia while indentured servitude provided labor. Self-governance emerged through entities like the Virginia House of Burgesses and Mayflower Compact. Puritans founded colonies like Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay to escape religious persecution in England. The 13 original colonies developed diverse economies while remaining tied to England through the Navigation Acts; however, they gained a growing spirit of self-determination.

Soc studies #9 new england colonies
The New England colonies were founded by religious dissenters seeking freedom to practice their faith. The Pilgrims established Plymouth colony in 1620 and signed the Mayflower Compact to govern themselves. Puritans later founded the Massachusetts Bay colony, attracting over 15,000 immigrants during the Great Migration of the 1630s. Religious intolerance led to the founding of additional colonies, including Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Hampshire, which developed early forms of democratic government and separation of church and state. Conflicts with Native Americans erupted into King Philip's War in 1675, resulting in the decline of indigenous populations in New England.
Southern colonies
The Mason-Dixon Line separated the Mid-Atlantic and Southern colonies. Maryland was founded in 1632 as a refuge for Catholics and allowed freedom of religion. Virginia began with the Jamestown settlement in 1607 and grew tobacco as its main crop. Bacon's Rebellion in 1676 was led by Nathaniel Bacon against Native Americans and the capital of Jamestown was burned. The Carolinas were founded later and grew rice and indigo as major crops, using enslaved Native Americans and Africans who eventually outnumbered white settlers. Georgia was founded in 1732 by James Oglethorpe as a place for debtors, starting with smaller farms and no slavery.
Chapter 5 Section 3 Notes
The Puritans established the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630 to escape religious persecution in England. They soon formed a self-governing commonwealth and their colony grew into New England. However, the Puritans did not tolerate religious diversity and banished people like Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson who disagreed with Puritan laws and beliefs. This led Williams and Hutchinson to establish the new colony of Rhode Island, which welcomed people of different beliefs. Disagreements also prompted the founding of Connecticut by Thomas Hooker in 1636.

A.p. u.s. ch 3
Although the North American colonies were established with different economies, political systems, and religious values, they would be united by a common language and allegiance to England. The Protestant Reformation led by Martin Luther and further developed by John Calvin profoundly shaped early American religious thought. Religious dissenters like the Puritans and Pilgrims fled persecution in England and established colonies in New England, bringing their Calvinist religious ideals with them. The growth and spread of the New England colonies inevitably led to conflicts with Native American tribes like the Pequot and Wampanoag as English settlers expanded further inland.

Theme 6 part 1 American Colonies: Prelude to Revolution
The collapse of New France removed the buffer between the British colonists and Native American tribes. As traders abused tribes and British commander Jeffrey Amherst cut off gifts, many tribes united against the colonists. The Cherokee attacked South Carolina settlers in revenge for invading their lands, and the British retaliated by destroying Cherokee towns. This defeat led over a dozen tribes to capture British forts and settlements, but eventually the British resumed gift-giving to rebuild relations with tribes, as the French had done previously.

8.1 Fighting for Control
The French and Indian War began in 1754 due to conflicting territorial claims between France, England, and Spain in North America. France wanted control of the Mississippi River and sent troops to push out the British from the Ohio River Valley, which England viewed as an act of war. Though the British colonies sent delegates to decide how to handle the war, they did not take united action as a country. As the war expanded to Europe, Britain began winning battles in the Americas. The 1763 Treaty of Paris ended the war, forcing France to cede lands east of the Mississippi to Britain and Spain. However, tensions rose again as colonists ignored the Proclamation of 1763 banning white settlement west of the Appalachians, and
7.3 The Southern Economy
The Southern economy relied on cash crops like tobacco in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina due to their dry, cool climates, and rice in South Carolina and Georgia due to their wet, hot climates. Indigo was also a major cash crop in South Carolina after Eliza Pinckney developed a way to produce blue dye from it. The economy grew through interdependence as goods were exported through brokers to major ports like Baltimore, Norfolk, Wilmington, Charles Town and Savannah. Forests in North Carolina provided wood and the South dominated shipbuilding.
7.2 Life in the South
Life in the South centered around large plantations that grew cash crops like tobacco and cotton. Most plantations functioned like small villages, with slaves performing various jobs under the supervision of an overseer. Though slaves faced cruel treatment, including beatings, they maintained aspects of their culture such as religious faith expressed through singing. Some slaves escaped bondage by running away or buying their freedom.
7.1 Settling the Southern Colonies
Maryland was founded by English Catholics seeking religious freedom led by George Calvert. It was carefully planned to avoid failure. Tobacco became a major cash crop, though most colonists struggled as indentured servants on farms. In 1649, Maryland passed the Toleration Act allowing religious freedom for Christians. Colonists then moved south, establishing the Carolinas with a written constitution. The colony became too large and split into North and South Carolina. Georgia was founded to gain control of the area, settling debtors who had to defend the land but could start anew, though slavery was eventually allowed and plantations increased. Settlers also moved westward for more land.
6.3 Busy Farms and Seaports
The middle colonies had fertile soil that supported prosperous farming, including the growing of wheat. Farmers could either grind their wheat into flour using local gristmills, or sell the unground wheat. The main rivers, the Hudson and Delaware, supported trade by providing access to seaports, bringing economic success through exports of goods like furs, meat, and lumber, and imports including furniture, tea, and slaves, with all trade occurring with England. Various craftspeople like blacksmiths, coopers, and carpenters found work through apprenticeships.
6.2 Life in the Middle Colonies
The Middle Colonies attracted a mix of immigrants from Dutch, French, Belgian, and Swedish backgrounds who sought a better life. The Great Awakening religious movement in the region was led by George Whitefield and emphasized emotional, personal faith and tolerance of differing views. People of many religious groups lived together in the Middle Colonies and enjoyed community barn raisings and other social events in their free time. The largest city, Philadelphia, was purposefully designed and grew under leaders like Benjamin Franklin who established important civic institutions.
5.3 New England's Economy
New England's economy grew as farming became more productive, leading to trade between colonists. The dense forests provided materials for a shipbuilding industry, with ships exported throughout England's colonies. Whaling and fishing also developed into important exports. However, England maintained tight control over trade, only permitting the colonies to trade with England and benefitting from the ability to set colonial goods' prices. The triangular trade routes transported slaves from Africa to the Americas, though many died during the treacherous Middle Passage journey.
6.1 The Middle Colonies
The Middle Colonies of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware were settled in the mid-1600s. The Dutch originally controlled New Netherland, but it was taken over by the English in 1664 and divided into New York and New Jersey. Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn in 1681 as a place for Quakers and others to practice religious freedom. Penn also established fair treatment of Native Americans. The region became known as the "Breadbasket Colonies" due to its fertile land and farming of grains like wheat, corn, and rye.
5.2 Life in New England
Puritan life in New England was centered around their strict religious beliefs. Everyone attended long church services on Sundays and faced punishment for any infractions. Small towns were tightly knit, centered around a common area, and people primarily bartered instead of using money. Men and women had distinct gender roles, with women handling domestic tasks like cooking, cleaning, and crafts while men farmed, hunted, and did manual labor. Children helped their families but also attended the important Puritan schools to learn to read from hornbooks.

5.1 Settling New England
- 1. 5.1 - Settling New England
- 2. The Puritans Arrive 1628 – small group arrives and creates settlement of Salem Unlike the pilgrims, this group enjoyed the Church of England, and wanted to follow it, but VERY strictly. Their “pure” beliefs gave them the name Puritans.
- 3. The Puritans Arrive Second group of Puritans arrive, led by John Winthrop Group settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and named their settlement Boston. Winthrop hoped his city would be an example of Christian Living.
- 5. New Ideas, New Settlements 1630 – John Winthrop is elected governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony. He made VERY strict laws that made it a punishment to speak out against the church or government.
- 6. Roger Williams Minister who disagreed with the leaders. Stated his beliefs in his sermons. Believed that there should be separation between Church and State. Believed colonists should live in peace with Native Americans. Was expelled from colony due to his beliefs in 1635. Bought land from the Narragansett and founded Providence, a settlement built on the consent of the people.
- 7. Anne Hutchinson Questioned the teachings of Puritan leaders Was found guilty of sedition (speaking out in ways that work against the government) and expelled from colony Formed new settlement that joined with Providence and the colony of Rhode Island was formed in 1647.
- 8. New England Grows Some settlers moved south from Massachusetts to find better farmland. Minister Thomas Hooker moved to practice his beliefs and founded the settlement of Hartford and the colony of Connecticut.

- 9. New England Grows In 1623, a Scottish settler, David Thomson created a fishing settlement called Portsmouth. Eventually became New Hampshire in 1679.
- 10. Growth Brings Conflict The land colonists were using already belonged to the Native Americans. In 1637, the Pequot tribes and settlers began attacking each other. Native Americans thought the land belonged to everybody, settlers thought they owned the land. Metacomet (King Phillip) was the leader of the Wampanoag and decided that Native Americans needed to unite against the settlers.
- 11. King Philip’s War In 1675, conflicts between Metacomet (King Philip) and the settlers led to war. For one year, the Native Americans and settlers fought. Over 3,000 Native Americans died, and the tribes were forced to give up their lands.
