Captain John Smith was an English soldier, explorer, and author who was involved in plans to colonize Virginia for profit in 1606. He sailed with three small ships to Virginia and helped establish the Jamestown settlement in 1607. The colony faced harsh weather, lack of resources, and attacks from the local Powhatan people. Smith was captured by the Powhatan in 1607 but was spared death, which he attributed to the actions of Pocahontas. Smith provided realistic accounts of challenges in Virginia and opportunities for economic development through industries like fishing, farming, and fur trading.

When Luther refused to recant his criticisms at the Diet of Worms in 1521, he was excommunicated from the Church and went into hiding. This led to the formation of new Protestant churches that broke away from the Catholic Church's authority based on their own beliefs, such as Lutheranism, Calvinism, and Anglicanism.

The document is a 1630 sermon by John Winthrop titled "A Modell of Christian Charity" where he lays out a spiritual blueprint for the Puritan settlers, urging them to form a tight-knit "community" and uphold values of justice, mercy, and mutual aid so that their city on a hill will shine as an example to the world. Winthrop wanted the new community to live as the light of the world by coming together as one united body under God's sovereignty and delighting in each other through hard and good times alike.
UNED American Literature I: 01 Captain John Smith
This document outlines a course on American Literature I taught by Ricardo Menéndez in 2015-2016. The course covers early American literature from the 17th and 18th centuries, including works by Captain John Smith, William Bradford, Anne Bradstreet, and others. It also examines the American Enlightenment period and authors such as Jonathan Edwards and Benjamin Franklin. The course is divided into study blocks, with the first block focusing on early American literature and authors from the Jamestown colony in Virginia. One class will focus on Captain John Smith, his life, works including A True Relation and The General History of Virginia, and his portrayal of Native Americans.
History of Jamestown
The Jamestown settlement was established in 1607 by the Virginia Company as the first permanent English colony in North America. The original 104 colonists struggled greatly, with over 60% dying in the first winter from famine, disease, and conflicts with local Native Americans. John Smith emerged as a leader and instituted policies that helped the colony survive. Tobacco was introduced as a cash crop in 1611 and greatly boosted the colony's prosperity. The Virginia Company's charter was revoked in 1624 after criticism of its mismanagement led to many colonist deaths. However, the colony survived and became economically viable due to the lucrative tobacco trade.
Massachusetts Bay Colony-Tercentenary Commission Markerson (december 2011)
The document provides information about roadside markers erected in Massachusetts between 1630-1930 by the Massachusetts Bay Colony-Tercentenary Commission, including:
- 275 total markers were erected in 95 cities/towns and 9 counties
- An inventory in 2011 found 147 markers still standing but 128 were missing
- The markers commemorate events and places significant to the history of the Massachusetts Bay Colony from 1630-1691
- The condition of the existing markers varies from good to badly deteriorated or missing.
Anne Bradstreet
The document introduces two poems by Puritan poets Anne Bradstreet and Edward Taylor. It discusses how the Puritan poets valued family and religious faith above material possessions. It also provides context on figurative language used in older poetry, such as metaphor, personification, hyperbole, and biblical allusions. Readers are encouraged to clarify the meaning of archaic language and inverted syntax when reading these works from the Puritan era.
Pocahontas Lesson
This document provides a lesson plan about Pocahontas for middle and high school students. The lesson uses primary and secondary sources to explore the historical relationship between Pocahontas and John Smith, and whether she actually saved his life. Students analyze Captain John Smith's letters from 1608 and 1624, watch a biography video, learn about Pocahontas's early life with the Powhatan people, her interactions with English settlers, capture by colonists, marriage to John Rolfe, and death in England. The goal is for students to practice sourcing and contextualizing historical documents to determine what really happened between Pocahontas and John Smith.
Jamestown 001
The document summarizes the early history of Jamestown, Virginia, the first permanent English settlement in North America. It explains that Jamestown was founded in 1607 as an economic venture by the Virginia Company of London to search for gold and other resources. The settlers faced many hardships in the marshy land but survived through aid from local Powhatan people and the establishment of agriculture, especially tobacco. The relationship with the Powhatans eventually broke down as the colony expanded and encroached on their territory. The document also notes the development of representative government through the Virginia House of Burgesses.
Jamestown Powerpoint
The document discusses the Lost Colony of Roanoke and early English settlements in North America, including Jamestown. It describes how the Roanoke colony disappeared mysteriously. It then details the founding of Jamestown and the early struggles, including a focus on gold over food that led to famine. John Smith took control and improved relations with the local Powhatan tribe, but tensions rose as colonists demanded tribute and kidnapped Native American children. The discovery of tobacco eventually saved Jamestown. Indentured servitude and slavery arose to supply labor for the tobacco trade. Class divisions worsened over time and led to Bacon's Rebellion against the governor.
Anne Bradstreet
Anne Bradstreet was one of the first published female poets in colonial America. Her first collection of poems was published in 1650 and a second edition was published posthumously in 1678. Her poems dealt with themes of print culture, genre as a female poet, and Puritan beliefs about God's sovereignty. Some of her most notable poems include "The Prologue [To Her Book]" which questions women's worth, "To My Dear and Loving Husband" expressing her inability to repay his love, and "Upon the Burning of Our House" reflecting on accepting God's will. Her works are related to other colonial texts like William Bradford's "Of Plymouth Plantation" and John Winthrop's "A Modell of
Puritans
Puritans were English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries who sought to purify the Church of England from its "Catholic doctrines and rites" and they later migrated to America in search of religious freedom. William Bradford came aboard the Mayflower and wrote Of Plymouth Plantation, a history of the Plymouth Colony. John Winthrop delivered the sermon "A Model of Christian Charity" aboard the Arbella, influencing the idea of America as a "city upon a hill." Anne Bradstreet was the first female poet published in America, her work appearing in The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America in 1650.
5 The Massachusetts Bay Colony
The document summarizes the founding and growth of the Massachusetts Bay Colony by Puritans in the early 1600s. It details how John Smith surveyed the coasts of Massachusetts and Maine in 1614. Many Puritans fled religious persecution in England and settled in Holland but later moved to North America on the Mayflower in 1620, signing the Mayflower Compact which established a governing authority. The Massachusetts Bay Colony was founded in 1628, attracting over 20,000 migrants led by John Winthrop who envisioned the colony as a "city upon a hill" with God's favor and exceptional among others. The colony grew through additional settlements founded from Plymouth.
The Enlightenment
This document provides an overview of the Age of Enlightenment. It discusses key thinkers like Locke, Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Rousseau who questioned traditional institutions and promoted rational thinking. It describes the scientific advances and philosophical views of the time, including deism, rational religion, and using reason rather than scripture to understand the world. The document also examines the characteristics of Enlightenment thought such as rationalism, secularism, freedom of thought, and optimism about social progress.

History 10th
John Smith was an English soldier, explorer, and author who was knighted for his services in Transylvania and Hungary. He later became admiral of New England. Unlike Spanish colonies funded by rulers, English colonies were originally funded by joint-stock companies that pooled investor wealth to support colonies in hopes of profit. One such company was the Virginia Company, which financed the 1606 voyage that established Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America. The expedition included three ships, one of which was the Susan Constant captained by Christopher Newport.

It then gives details on Jamestown fort, the three sisters crops of corn, beans and squash, and aspects of daily life for the settlers such as thatched roofs and religious services in the early church. The document also provides information on the neighboring Powhatan Indian village and tribe led by Chief Powhatan that inhabited the area at the time.
Jamestown And John Smith
The document summarizes the early history of the Jamestown colony and the role of John Smith. It discusses the founding of Jamestown in 1607 by three ships carrying English colonists led by Captain Christopher Newport. John Smith helped establish and lead the colony during its early difficult years, instituting policies that helped the colony survive. The document also mentions Pocahontas allegedly saving John Smith's life, attacks by Native Americans, and John Smith eventually leaving Jamestown after being injured.

A look at the settlement of Jamestown and its hardships with a focus on the acts of cannibalism that have been brought to light recently. It has been adapted from another previous presentation.
9 Jamestown
The first colony at Jamestown faced immense hardships in its early years. The original group of 104 settlers arrived in 1607 but over half had died by the end of summer due to disease, lack of shelter, and malnutrition. John Smith took control and instituted strict rules requiring the colonists to work to build shelters and plant crops, which helped the colony survive. However, difficulties continued and by the winter of 1609-1610, called "the starving time", the population was devastated and only 60 of the 500 colonists remained alive.
Hogan's History- English Colonies
The English established colonies along the eastern coast of North America in the early 1600s. The Virginia Company founded Jamestown in 1607 as the first permanent English settlement, though it faced many hardships in its early years. John Smith's leadership helped the colony survive. Tobacco later became a lucrative cash crop. African slaves were introduced to the colony in 1619 and the plantation system became dependent on slave labor. The House of Burgesses established the first representative legislative body in the colonies. The New England colonies focused on fishing, whaling, and trade due to poor soil and short growing seasons.
Unit 4 pp 1
England and Spain had disagreements over trade and religion in the late 1500s. In 1588, King Philip II of Spain sent the Spanish Armada to invade England but it was defeated, weakening Spain. England then began establishing colonies in North America but they struggled at first. The earliest colony at Roanoke Island failed after supplies from England did not arrive. The Jamestown colony, founded in 1607, also faced great hardships and loss of life in its early years until tobacco was successfully grown, providing an important cash crop. The colony survived and grew as the relationship with local Native Americans improved and more settlers, including women, arrived.
Jamestown To Civil War Review
Queen Elizabeth I granted Sir Walter Raleigh permission to explore and colonize Virginia in a charter. This allowed the colonists the same rights as English citizens. In 1607, 104 colonists established Jamestown on the James River. They encountered the Powhatan people and their leader Chief Powhatan. Disease and lack of food caused many hardships for the colonists during the "Starving Time" winter of 1609. Tobacco eventually became a profitable cash crop, helping the colony survive. Over time the colony grew and the capital was moved to Williamsburg. Conflicts arose between the colonists and Native Americans as well as the British government, leading to the American Revolution.

The colonists at Jamestown struggled at first because they did not focus on securing food, water, and shelter. John Smith became a strict leader and instituted a policy where colonists had to work to receive food. Without this policy in place after Smith had to leave, the colonists faced starvation during the "starving time" period as they were unprepared to survive on their own and had no food stores. The documents also discuss how John Smith helped the colonists survive by making them hunt, build houses, and plant crops rather than just search for gold. They summarize the key events and challenges faced by the early Jamestown colonists.

The document summarizes the early English settlements in North America. It discusses that Jamestown was the first successful English settlement, founded in 1607, though only 38 of the original 144 settlers survived the first year due to focusing on gold rather than farming. It also describes two failed earlier attempts to establish English colonies by Sir Walter Raleigh in the 1580s. The document outlines some of the reasons the colonies were established, both for economic opportunities and national expansion. It provides some key details about John Smith, the explorer who helped lead the Jamestown colony, and positive and negative impacts of the early English colonization.
Jamestown
- The English established their first permanent colony at Jamestown, Virginia in 1607 under the Virginia Company of London. The colony struggled initially with disease and lack of supplies.
- Under the leadership of John Smith, the colony became organized and began growing tobacco for profit. However, after Smith left, the colony suffered through the "Starving Time" winter where few survived.
- The colony stabilized with the arrival of more settlers and supplies. It established the first representative government in America, the House of Burgesses, and became the first English colony to have slaves and indentured servants arrive. Conflict with native Powhatan people continued sporadically.

French in north america
The document summarizes the early fur trade between French colonists and indigenous peoples in North America, as well as the establishment and growth of New France. Initially, natives traded furs for goods like metal tools and beads. This increased their environmental impact and competition between tribes. The French claimed the St. Lawrence Valley for strategic reasons including its northern location and harbor. Warfare between the Iroquois and other tribes led to cycles of violence and prisoner taking. By 1700, the population of New France grew to 15,000, though it remained much smaller than English colonies.
