Early English attempts to establish colonies in North America included Roanoke Island and Jamestown. Sir Walter Raleigh established the Roanoke colony in 1585, but the settlers mysteriously vanished when the leader John White returned from England three years later. In 1607, the Virginia Company founded the Jamestown settlement with 144 men. However, the swampy land lacked good farmland and the colonists struggled with disease, conflicts with Native Americans, and a lack of effective leadership. By 1608, only 38 settlers had survived at Jamestown.

The document discusses early English colonization in America, including:
1) The British wanted to colonize America to gain wealth from trade and resources, like the Spanish, French, and Dutch had done.
2) Sir Walter Raleigh established the first short-lived English settlement on Roanoke Island in 1585.
3) In 1607, the Virginia Company established the Jamestown settlement along the James River with 105 men and boys. They faced many hardships including disease, conflicts with Native Americans, and famine known as the "Starving Time" between 1609-1610.
4) The colony later prospered through the cultivation of tobacco as a cash crop despite King James
Jamestown
The Virginia Company of London established the Jamestown colony in 1607 as a joint stock company to try to establish an English colony along the Atlantic coast of North America. The colony struggled at first due to being located in a swampland, lack of skills, disease, and attacks from Native Americans, but was saved by adopting tobacco as a cash crop and the leadership of John Smith in making friendly relations with local tribes.
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.
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.

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.

There are several theories but no conclusive evidence to explain the mystery of the lost colony's fate.
British Empire - Introductory chapter
This document outlines the rise and expansion of several historical empires from 1479 BC to the late 19th century. It then focuses on the beginnings of the British Empire from the late 15th century through the colonial period. Key events included English explorers like Cabot, the establishment of trading companies like the East India Company, early colonies in North America and the Caribbean, and the growth of the triangular slave trade to support profitable crops. The empire expanded through trade, religion, and seeking national glory.
Exploration and Fur Trade of Western Canada
Captain James Cook was the first European explorer to set foot on what is now British Columbia. He explored the coast in 1778, meeting native peoples but missing key locations like Juan de Fuca Strait. He died in 1779 in Hawaii on his third voyage of exploration. Alexander Mackenzie worked for the North West Company and in 1793 became the first person to cross North America north of Mexico. In 1789 he explored the river that now bears his name, reaching the Arctic Ocean. In 1793 he reached the Pacific Ocean but was turned back by hostile natives. Simon Fraser worked for the Hudson's Bay Company and in 1811 was the first European to travel the entire length of the Columbia River.
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.
British Empire
This document outlines key events in the rise and fall of the British Empire from 1578 to 1997, including Queen Elizabeth granting a patent for overseas exploration in 1578, the Acts of Union uniting Scotland and England in 1707, the establishment of colonies in India and Asia, the golden age of the Empire between World War I and II, and its decline after World War II as Britain lost the ability and will to maintain its colonies, ultimately handing over the last territory to China in 1997.
Jamestown Powerpoint
The three ships that carried the first English colonists to Jamestown, Virginia in 1607 were the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery. The colonists faced many hardships when they arrived, as the site was located on marshland with brackish water. They struggled with disease, conflicts with native tribes like the Powhatan, and starvation during the harsh winter of 1609-1610 known as the "Starving Time". However, Jamestown became the first permanent English settlement in North America and helped establish the 13 American colonies.

When did the British Empire happen?
In the 16th century, England started to conquer territories and started to become powerful. After the Second World War, England lost almost all of the territories that they had and as part of a larger de colonization movement by European powers, most of the territories of the British Empire were granted independence, ending with the handover of Hong Kong to China in 1997. 14 territories remain under British sovereignty, the British Overseas Territories. After independence, many former British colonies joined the Commonwealth of Nations, a free association of independent states. 16 Commonwealth Nations share their head of state, Queen Elizabeth II, as Commonwealth realms.
Britain was a little country with a big idea: to expand and become really powerful.
How big was the British Empire?
At first the growth of the British Empire was for the competition for resources and markets which existed over a period of centuries between England and it continental rivals (Spain, France and Holland). After the wars against Dutch, French, and Spanish countries they managed to conquered eastern coast of North America, Caribbean and Africa. The excuse they used to conquer Africa was based in Darwin’s theory of the evolution, they thought black people were less important and with less rights than the white people so they could use them as slaves, it was a racist ideal.
Then, they claim Canada, the Caribbean and most importantly, the East Coast of America. After a while, the Americans declared the independence, they discovered Australia, they claimed it and also decided to claim India too, and India and the Caribbean were the countries that Britain was more interested to conquer.
The British Empire started to be weak after lose one of the most important battles, the Japanese saw that weakness and they attack them, the British Empire lost against Japan and most of the territories get their independence, so the British Empire was nearly disappeared.
Curiosities
When the British Empire was powerful, it was said that “the sun never sets on the British Empire”. That was because the British Empire was extended all across the world and the sun was always shining on, at least one of the territories.

U. S. History 1: Britain in the New World - Unit 2, Part I Review
The document summarizes Britain's early colonial efforts in North America, beginning with the late start of British settlements compared to other European powers like Spain and France. It then discusses some of the earliest British explorers like John Cabot and Sir Walter Raleigh. Francis Drake gained riches for Queen Elizabeth by raiding Spanish ports in North America. The document also covers early failed colonial attempts by Humphrey Gilbert and at Roanoke colony, which disappeared mysteriously. It concludes with the founding of Jamestown in 1607 and the "Starving Time" that nearly caused the colony to fail before it became self-sustaining through John Smith's leadership.
The 13 Colonies
The document provides information about each of the original 13 colonies that became the first 13 states, listing them in chronological order of when they ratified the U.S. Constitution. For each colony/state, it provides 1-3 facts about the date it became a state, its founding date, major cities, industries, and other relevant historical information. The colonies/states covered are Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island.
The Lost Colony of Roanoke
The English made two attempts to settle Roanoke Island off the coast of what is now North Carolina in the late 16th century. The first colony failed and the settlers returned to England. The second colony, established in 1587, mysteriously disappeared. When supply ship captain John White returned from England a few years later, he found the colony abandoned with no signs of what happened to the approximately 90 men, 17 women, and 9 children. The only clues were the letters "CRO" carved into a tree and "CROATAN" carved into a post, but the fate of the "Lost Colony" remains a mystery.

It describes England's first settlement on Roanoke Island under Sir Walter Raleigh. It then discusses the founding of Jamestown in 1607 as the first permanent English settlement, noting the difficulties colonists faced with disease, harsh winters, and lack of food and water. It highlights the roles of John Smith and Pocahontas in establishing relations with local Native Americans and finding food sources. The summary concludes that tobacco eventually became a cash crop and indentured servants were used to meet labor demands, while self-government began through the establishment of the House of Burgesses.
Reasons for the jamestown colony
The document summarizes the founding and early development of the Jamestown colony in Virginia. It discusses that England established Jamestown in 1607 as an economic venture to obtain raw materials and open new markets. The colony struggled at first but survived due to trading relationships with the local Powhatan people. However, tensions grew as the English settlement expanded and permanently changed the land. The arrival of Africans and women in 1620 helped establish a diverse, permanent colony and economy dependent on tobacco. The Virginia House of Burgesses, founded in 1619, was the first representative legislative body in America.
Lost colony
Sir Walter Raleigh was granted a charter by Queen Elizabeth I to establish an English colony in North America, known as the Lost Colony. The first expedition led by Amadas and Barlowe explored the area, meeting friendly native Secotans and Croatans as well as hostile Aquascogoc. Later expeditions arrived to reinforce the dwindling population, but they went missing, possibly due to war with local tribes. When governor White returned to England for help, his voyage back was delayed by war. Upon his return, he found the Roanoke colony missing, unable to search due to a storm.

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.
Plymouth Colony
The document discusses the origins and founding of the Plymouth Colony by a group of English Protestants known as the Pilgrims. It describes how religious persecution in England led the Pilgrims to flee to Holland and eventually settle in America. In 1620, the Pilgrims boarded the Mayflower and spent two months crossing the Atlantic, during which they signed the Mayflower Compact to establish rules for governing their new colony. They landed in present-day Massachusetts and suffered through a difficult first winter known as the "Starving Time", with fewer than half of the original colonists surviving, but were aided by the Wampanoag tribe led by Squanto.
Ch 3, Sec 5 Plymouth
The Pilgrims founded Plymouth Colony in 1620 in order to freely practice their religion, as it was difficult to do so in Europe where they faced persecution from the Church of England. They established the Mayflower Compact to govern their colony and establish religious freedom, setting a precedent for future governments. With help from Squanto, who taught them how to farm and fish, they were able to establish the first successful colony in Plymouth.

It describes how religious persecution in England led the Pilgrims to flee to Holland and eventually settle in America. In 1620, the Pilgrims boarded the Mayflower and spent two months crossing the Atlantic, during which they signed the Mayflower Compact to establish rules for governing their new colony. They landed in present-day Massachusetts and suffered through a difficult first winter known as the "Starving Time", with fewer than half of the original colonists surviving, but were aided by the Wampanoag tribe led by Squanto.
Ch 3, Sec 5 Plymouth
The Pilgrims founded Plymouth Colony in 1620 in order to freely practice their religion, as it was difficult to do so in Europe where they faced persecution from the Church of England. They established the Mayflower Compact to govern their colony and establish religious freedom, setting a precedent for future governments. With help from Squanto, who taught them how to farm and fish, they were able to establish the first successful colony in Plymouth.

Plymouth and mass bay colonies
The document discusses the Separatists who wanted to separate from the Church of England and became Pilgrims who traveled to the Netherlands and then set sail on the Mayflower to Virginia in 1620. Poor weather forced them to land in Cape Cod where they created the Mayflower Compact agreement before leaving the ship. It also discusses the Puritans who wanted to purify the Church of England and established the Massachusetts Bay colony through the Massachusetts Bay Company in the 1630s, led by Governor John Winthrop.
Massachusetts
Massachusetts is a state located in New England. It has a population of over 6 million people and its capital and largest city is Boston. Some key facts about Massachusetts are that basketball and volleyball were invented there, the first computer was created at MIT, and the first public school system and lighthouse were founded there. The state has a humid continental climate with warm summers and cold, snowy winters. Popular tourist destinations include Salem, Cape Cod National Seashore, and the mountains and forests. Massachusetts is also home to many universities like Harvard, MIT, Boston University and Northeastern University.
Colonies Virtual Field Trip
The document provides information about the three main colonial regions in British North America: New England Colonies, Middle Colonies, and Southern Colonies. It describes that the New England Colonies were settled primarily by religious dissenting Puritans fleeing persecution in England. The Middle Colonies had a diverse population and economies based around agriculture and industry. The Southern Colonies were focused on plantation agriculture using indentured servants and later slaves, with a society divided between large plantation owners and small farmers.
Jamestown
The colonists in Jamestown built structures out of wood and brick, with masons skilled at brick construction. Wood was also used to build furniture, ships important for fishing and travel between Virginia and England, while tobacco was a key crop grown as a money crop to pay taxes and import goods. Glass blowing was also an early industry that produced bottles, jars, and drinking glasses.
Massachusetts colony presentation updated
Massachusetts was founded in 1630 by English Puritans seeking religious freedom. It had a strict Puritan society with laws centered around the church. The economy relied on agriculture, fishing, and shipbuilding. Boston became the capital and largest city. In the colonial era, Massachusetts had a social hierarchy without nobility, and women had restricted roles. Communication was initially by horseback or ships, with the first postal service and newspaper establishing in the 1600s.
Plymouth colony 1620
Plymouth Colony was settled in 1620 by English Separatists who arrived on the Mayflower to establish a religious community with beliefs different from the Church of England, as they had faced persecution in England. Upon arrival, they signed the Mayflower Compact which established a system of self-government based on majority rule to set laws and order for the colony. Many died the first year from disease and exposure to the harsh New England winter.

The document provides historical context about the Pilgrims' journey, their establishment of Plymouth Colony, and the region of New England where they settled.
Jamestown 1607
The Jamestown settlers initially struggled due to lack of preparation, searching for gold instead of focusing on growing food, and locating their settlement near an unhealthy swamp. This led to a "Starving Time" in 1609 where disease, starvation, and attacks reduced the population to 60 people. In 1610, John Rolfe arrived with tobacco to plant, which became a profitable cash crop. This successful agricultural focus allowed Jamestown to thrive and establish representative government as the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1619, marking the colony's survival.

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 New England Colonies Pilgrims And Puritans
The document summarizes the economies of the New England and Southern colonies in the 17th and 18th centuries. It explains that the Southern colonies relied on agriculture and the export of cash crops like tobacco, rice and indigo which required large plantations and slave labor. In contrast, the climate and soil of New England did not support cash crops so families mostly grew their own food and relied on livestock. Slavery was not as important to the New England economy as farms did not require a large workforce.
Plymouth colony 1620
The document discusses the settlement of Plymouth Colony in 1620, noting that the Pilgrims who arrived on the Mayflower were religious Separatists who wanted to establish their own religious community free from the Church of England after facing persecution in England.

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.
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.

The Jamestown colony was established in 1607 in Virginia near the Powhatan Confederacy led by Chief Powhatan. Conflict arose between the colonists and Native Americans as the colonists sought land and resources. The Dutch and Swedes also established colonies in the mid-Atlantic region, which the English later took control of in the mid-1600s. The Middle Colonies attracted colonists with fertile land and had a representative government system.
Colonial America
The English began exploring the Americas in 1583 and tried to gain a foothold by establishing colonies on Roanoke Island in 1585 and 1587. However, when supplies ships finally returned to Roanoke in 1590, the colony had completely disappeared, and was later referred to as the "Lost Colony." In 1606, after the war with Spain had ended, the English again looked westward under the charter of the Virginia Company. The first permanent English settlement in North America was established at Jamestown in 1607, where leadership under Captain John Smith enforced work and acquiring food, helping the colony survive. However, by 1619 the colonists wanted representation, leading to the establishment of the House of Bur

Election 1796
The first two political parties, the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans, emerged in the 1790s during the presidency of John Adams. Adams faced tensions with France during the XYZ Affair, where French agents demanded bribes from American envoys. In response, Congress passed measures to prepare for war with France, increase the military, and enact the controversial Alien and Sedition Acts over civil liberties. This led to the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions which argued the Acts were unconstitutional.

The Middle Ages
From the fall of the Roman Empire to the Age of Exploration in Europe:
- The Roman Empire fell, Europe was divided into small kingdoms with destroyed governments and trade networks. Vikings began raiding villages. Europeans developed feudalism for protection.
- Feudalism established a system with kings, lords, manors worked by serfs who were promised protection in exchange. The Catholic Church became an influential, unifying force across divided Europe.
- Increased stability, trade, and new farming methods led to population growth and demand for goods, fueling further trade and growth of towns. A middle class emerged and Mediterranean trade expanded, including valuable spices imported from Asia and Africa.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
