The document summarizes the history of English settlement in New England and the Chesapeake (Virginia and Maryland) regions. It describes how: - Virginia started as a joint stock company struggling to survive until tobacco provided sustainability. Large plantations developed using indentured servants and African slaves, causing conflicts with Native Americans. - Maryland was established as a haven for English Catholics and allowed freedom of worship for all religions. Farmers grew tobacco and the colony prospered. - The Pilgrims established the Plymouth colony as Separatists seeking religious freedom. They signed the Mayflower Compact agreeing to self-government and struggled at first but survived with Native American help.

colony under the Lords Proprietors (3-2.4) and compared the various European
settlements in North America in terms of economic activities, religious
emphasis, government, and lifestyles (4-2.2).

South Carolina History

9. Jamestown
o Joint Stock Company

10. Location map for Jamestown
and/or image of settlement
The colonists’ hunger was so
intense that “a savage [Indian]
we slew [killed] and buried, the
poorer sort took him up again
and ate him.”

11. Virginia & Maryland
o Ran through the London
Company
o House of Burgesses
provided a form of
limited democratic
government
o Eventually became a
royal colony
o Served as the model for
the southern colonies

12. House of Burgesses
• Virginia colonists created the House of
Burgesses, which was the first legislative
assembly in what would become the
United States.
• Tobacco farming required labor. At first
plantation owners used indentured
servants. Then, they started using slaves
from Africa.
• The first African slaves arrived in Virginia
in 1619.

13. Maryland: a
Catholic Colony
• Catholics did not have freedom of religion in England.
• The Baltimore family received permission to create a colony where English
Catholics could stay loyal to the crown, but worship as they pleased.
• The colony was named Maryland and soon came to be settled by colonists of all
religions. Maryland farmers planted tobacco and the colony prospered.

15. New England
o Founded as a haven for
groups persecuted in
England
o Plymouth Colony
(Separatists) initially
struggled for survival
(Thanksgiving)
o Religious dissenters were
sent to other regions
o Massachusetts Bay
(Puritans) was special
because of the culture it
developed
o Massachusetts thrived
because of:
o Lumber
o Trade
o Ship building

16. Pilgrims & the Mayflower Compact
• The Separatists (Pilgrims), received permission to move to the
New World and create their own colony.
• Sailing on the ship Mayflower, they landed at Plymouth after
signing the Mayflower Compact.
• The compact was an agreement among the settlers that they
would create a government and obey its laws. This was the first
form of self government in what is now the United States.

17. The Pilgrims
• Initially, the Pilgrims struggled to
survive, but the local Native
Americans helped them plant corn
to survive.
• Pilgrims were English Protestants
who believed that the Church of
England had become to wealthy
and corrupt. They separated
themselves from the church and
hoped to create a better one.

18. New England

o Unknown to the king, they brought the only copy of
their charter to the colony
o Lack of crown control allowed:
o Establishment of democratic government
o Town meetings
o General Assembly

o Church based schools ensured all children could
read the Bible and established religious conformity
o New Englanders enjoyed religious homogeneity, a
thriving economy based on trade, and a democratic
government.
o Did not practice religious tolerance
