Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in North America, established in 1607 in Virginia. The colonists struggled greatly in their early years - within months, disease and infections killed half the colony. During the "starving time" winter of 1609-1610, colonists ran out of food and water, and by the fall only 400 remained of the original 700 settlers, with many dying of starvation. Archaeological excavations have provided valuable insights into the early challenges faced by the Jamestown colonists.

Life in the 13 colonies
Life in the 13 colonies involved subsistence farming in New England due to the rocky soil and short growing season, commercial agriculture in the Mid-Atlantic colonies thanks to fertile soil, and cash crops like tobacco, rice and indigo in the warm Southern colonies. Colonists ate local foods and seafood, and wore simple clothing. Religion varied by region, and education focused on basic literacy, often just for boys. The colonies participated in transatlantic trade, including the triangular trade that brought enslaved Africans to the Southern colonies.
CALIFORNIA
California became a US territory in 1847 and statehood was achieved in 1850 after the discovery of gold sparked the California Gold Rush. Major cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego grew as settlers moved to California, though San Francisco was heavily damaged by earthquakes in 1906 and 1989, raising ongoing fears of another large quake. California has varied climates and fertile lands.
Tribes under Extinction
The document discusses 5 tribes that are at risk of becoming extinct in the near future. It provides brief descriptions of the Kalam tribe in Papua New Guinea, the indigenous Maori tribe in New Zealand, the Asaro mudmen tribe in Papua New Guinea, the Chukchi tribe in Siberia, and the Vanuatu tribe in Vanuatu. For each tribe, it highlights some of their unique cultural practices and traditions as well as threats they face to their environments and ways of life.
Ancient Texans
During the last Ice Age, around 35,000-10,000 BC, sea levels dropped and a land bridge formed between Asia and North America, allowing humans to walk across where the Bering Strait is now to enter the Americas for the first time, hunting large game but having to adapt to scarcer food sources as animals grew smaller and the climate changed.

The document provides background information on the early English settlement of Jamestown in 1607. It describes the three ships (the Discovery, the Godspeed and the Susan Constant) that arrived carrying settlers with a charter to establish the first permanent English settlement. 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.
The Lttle Ice Age
The Little Ice Age occurred between the 14th and 19th centuries. [1] It was a period of unusually cold temperatures that caused unpredictable climate shifts across Europe and North America. [2] Regions experienced heavy snowfall in summer months, freezing of harbors and waterways, and increased mortality from cold exposure. [3] The changing climate devastated crops and food sources, leading to widespread famine and disease outbreaks that reduced populations by up to one third in some areas.
13 colonies
The document lists differences between the 13 colonies grouped into New England, Middle, and Southern regions. It describes differences in their geography, governments, major industries, and crops. The New England colonies had forests and poor soil, governments that separated church and state, shipbuilding and fishing industries, and grew grains. The Middle colonies had more fertile land and rivers, elected lawmakers, farming and milling, and primarily wheat. The Southern colonies focused on cash crops like tobacco and rice, tied work to receiving food, and benefited from navigable rivers.
Choctaw indian history
The Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes migrated from the west to what is now the southeastern United States, led by brothers Chiksa' and Chahta. They originally inhabited Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana but were forced to move by European settlers. The Chickasaw settled in parts of Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama, relying on local river systems for trade. Both tribes had prominent chiefs who negotiated treaties, and engaged in arts like basket weaving, pottery and beadwork. The document provides an overview of the origins and traditions of the Choctaw and Chickasaw peoples.

Aborigines and settlers in port phillip
The document discusses the relationship between Aboriginal communities and European settlers in Port Phillip, Australia. It describes how Aboriginal communities had highly ordered societies with laws and customs that were disrupted by the Europeans. The population declined by 80% due to introduced diseases. Europeans established farms and changed land practices, threatening traditional food sources. Aboriginal communities responded in various ways including attacks, sorcery, and joining the native police or gold rush for new opportunities. Later, some Aboriginal people lived on Christian missions and reserves set up by the government.
Choctaw indian
The Choctaw Indians originally lived in the southeastern United States but were removed to Oklahoma in the 1830s via the Trail of Tears. The Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek forced the Choctaw onto reservations in Oklahoma. The Choctaw had distinct cultural traditions such as wood carvings, basket weaving, and circular dwellings called hogans. They traditionally wore deer skin skirts and ponchos, and the men also wore breechcloths. Children helped with chores while boys hunted and fished with their fathers and girls played with dolls.
Mexico katia amir zidan ei m4
Cabo San Lucas is a city located at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico. It is known for its beaches, scuba diving, marine life, and the iconic sea arch El Arco. Tourism is the main industry, with numerous resorts and developments along the coast between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. When a Japanese castaway arrived in 1842, there were only two houses and about twenty inhabitants, but the area has since experienced rapid tourism growth and development into a major Mexican travel destination.
Australian Aborigines
Aboriginal Australians are the indigenous peoples of Australia who arrived on the continent around 40,000 to 50,000 years ago. They were traditionally hunter-gatherers who moved locations based on food availability. British colonization beginning in 1788 disrupted Aboriginal ways of life, introducing diseases that killed around 50% of the population and displacing them from traditional lands. By 1900, the Aboriginal population declined to around 93,000 due to colonization and oppression. Today, Aboriginal culture continues through various art forms like painting, literature, and visual arts.
Oklahoma
Oklahoma has a humid summer climate and is located in tornado alley. The Great Plains stretch across the state, which features flat plains, rolling hills, and lakes like Fort Gibson Lake. Major tourist attractions include the Oklahoma City National Memorial, Oklahoma Aquarium, and Oklahoma History Center. Oklahoma is the 46th state and was historically agricultural, farming crops like wheat, barley, and corn. It is also the home of the state capital, Oklahoma City.
Culinary history
Cooking began over 1 million years ago when early humans discovered fire. As humans grew familiar with fire, they began cooking raw food. After discovering fire, humans found vegetables and cereals growing by rivers and started cultivating crops, leading to the development of agriculture. As agriculture evolved, humans began living in communities near rivers, which developed into civilizations ruled by different leaders. Conflicts between kingdoms led to an exchange of ideas and cooking methods. Kings had luxurious lifestyles and paid special attention to their menus, often patronizing skilled chefs. Between the 11th-17th centuries, increased travel for purposes like pilgrimages necessitated the development of the hotel industry so food could be prepared away from home for long
Famine and emigration abby 3
The potato famine occurred from 1846 to 1852 when a potato disease called blight arrived in Ireland and Scotland, possibly from ships from America. The blight caused potatoes to rot in the soil, resulting in more than 1 million people starving to death in Ireland and many more becoming sick. Many poor Scots and Irish fled the famine on ships to America and Canada, but these "coffin ships" earned their name because so many passengers died during the journeys, with over 20,000 dying in ships to Canada alone in 1846-1847. The rural poor in Ireland were most heavily impacted as they relied almost entirely on potatoes for their diet.
Blackfoot Confederacy
The Blackfoot Confederacy was comprised of four Native American tribes - the North Piegan, South Piegan, Blood, and Siksika - who occupied territory in what is now Canada and Montana. They shared a common language and culture and were traveling hunter-gatherers who subsisted primarily on buffalo. In 1870, 173 Blackfoot people, mostly women, children, and elderly, were killed in an unprovoked attack by U.S. cavalry known as the Marias Massacre. Diseases brought by settlers and the near-extinction of the buffalo by the late 1800s severely reduced the Blackfoot population. Today, many Blackfoot live on reserves in Canada and on a Montana reservation.
The Choctaw Tribe
The Choctaw Tribe lived in villages in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida, growing corn, beans, and squash. They lived in small houses and wore deer skin skirts and capes. Men hunted and fished to provide food while women farmed and cared for children. Children helped with chores, and teens played stick ball and other games. The Choctaw had a deep spiritual faith connecting humans to nature.
The Great Irish Potato Famine
The Great Irish Potato Famine of 1845-1850 was caused by a fungus called Late Blight that destroyed the potato crop, which was a staple food in Ireland. Over 1 million Irish people died of starvation and disease and another 2 million emigrated due to the lack of food. The potato famine was one of the worst disasters to hit Europe in the 19th century and greatly reduced Ireland's population.
Belize
Belize gained independence from Britain in 1981. It is located in Central America on the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, facing the Caribbean Sea. The Mayan civilization spread into the area between 1500 BC and AD 300. Britain defeated Spain in 1798 and laid claim to the land, which it ruled until Belize achieved independence. The national symbols of Belize include the black orchid flower, mahogany tree, toucan bird, and tapir animal. English and Spanish are the most common languages.
Australia In British Empire
Captain Cook claimed Australia for Britain in 1770. The colonization of Australia was risky for Britain since they had little knowledge of the climate and landscape. However, it provided benefits as a naval base in the Pacific and a place to send convicts after the American Revolution. Between 1788 and 1850, around 160,000 convicts were transported to Australia to address Britain's overcrowded prisons.

Death of jamestown
The English settlers at Jamestown originally planned to find gold and silver and trade with local Indians for food, but did not prepare to forage for their own survival. Many settlers died of starvation after the Indians became hostile, forcing the settlers to drink contaminated water and eat rats and horses, which led to diseases like typhoid fever and dysentery. Arsenic poisoning from materials brought during Catholic-Protestant conflicts also caused sudden disease outbreaks.
Belize
Belize is a small Central American country located between Mexico and Guatemala along the Caribbean coast. It has a tropical climate with rainy seasons and was once home to several ancient Mayan cities. Belize gained independence from British rule in 1981 and is now a parliamentary democracy within the Commonwealth of Nations. Tourism, focused on beaches, reefs, ruins and culture, is the primary industry.

19th century american art
American art in the 19th century was derived from European styles as there was no strong patronage from the Catholic Church or aristocracy. Portraiture and landscapes of the American wilderness became popular genres. Realism was the dominant style with artists like Thomas Cole, Winslow Homer, and Thomas Eakins painting realistic portrayals of rural America, its people, and nature. Landscape artists such as George Inness, Frederic Church, and Albert Bierstadt also captured the American wilderness.
Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West
Emerging technology of the 19th century—photography, railroads, the telegraph, and the telephone—transformed and accelerated the world. Eadweard Muybridge was among those who dramatically influenced the concurrent changes in people’s perceptions and experiences. His photographs of horses in motion, the first to prove that all four feet are in the air during part of the stride, sparked a new medium and industry. Those seminal images, along with his many other timeless photos of the American West, lay the groundwork for motion pictures. Rebecca Solnit, author of River of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West, offers insight into the complex and colorful Muybridge, now considered the godfather of cinema.

Post-Impressionism developed in the late 1880s as artists sought to move beyond Impressionism by adding more structure like line and shape rather than just loose brushwork. Key Post-Impressionist artists included Seurat, Gaugin, Cezanne, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Van Gogh, who were based primarily in France. Cezanne in particular is highlighted for his paintings of Mount Sainte Victoire from the late 1890s to early 1900s, which showed his experimentation with color and form beyond Impressionism.

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.
G,s,c presentation
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.

Virginia studies review pp 2008 Standards
1) Virginia is located on the Atlantic coast and bordered by several states and bodies of water. The state has diverse geographic regions ranging from coastal plains to mountainous areas.
2) Jamestown was founded in 1607 as the first permanent English settlement in North America. The settlers faced many hardships but survived through assistance from native peoples and the cultivation of tobacco as a cash crop.
3) Slavery became integral to Virginia's economy to support the tobacco industry. Over time tensions grew between colonists and native peoples as European settlement expanded. The colony established representative government and eventually gained independence from Britain.
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 colony reading
The first fort at Jamestown was built soon after the failed Roanoke Colony in 1607. It was located on Jamestown Island which had deep anchorage but turned out to be a poor location due to swampy land and unhealthy water. The original fort had three raised areas for cannons and buildings like a storehouse, church, and guardhouse were built first. Life was difficult for the colonists, with about one-third dying in 1607 from disease. John Rolfe began experimenting with tobacco around 1610, which became very profitable. Relations with Native Americans fluctuated between violence and peace until a major attack in 1622 started a long war between the groups.

Ch. 7 sec. 3 life in the new land
If I were President Jefferson at the time of the Louisiana Purchase, I would purchase the land for the following reasons:
1. While early settlement of Arkansas was slow due to its remote location and difficult overland travel conditions, purchasing Louisiana would open up the Arkansas River valley for expansion and help more settlers reach the fertile lands.
2. Arkansas had natural resources like bison herds, fertile soil suitable for crops like cotton and corn, and was rich in animal life that could be hunted and traded, showing potential for economic development.
3. Acquiring Louisiana would help address Arkansas's health problems by allowing for improved roads and water routes, facilitating drainage of standing water to reduce diseases like malaria and yellow fever
The english in north america
Early English efforts to colonize the North American coastline met with little success. Settlers struggled to establish self-sustaining colonies due to poor soil and a lack of understanding of Native lifeways. Relations between English colonists and the Powhatan tribe grew tense as the colonists failed to grow their own food and instead relied on the Natives. When Puritan settlers later arrived, they viewed Native lifestyles as uncivilized and worked to reshape the land in the English image, which disrupted Native subsistence and led to hostilities between the groups. The Puritans ultimately drove out many Native peoples from the region through warfare and oppressive expansion.
Death at jamestown
The early settlers at Jamestown struggled greatly, with many dying due to famine, disease, conflicts with native tribes, and lack of proper leadership. Over half of the original colonists perished during the first year due to starvation and illness, as they failed to grow their own food and drinking contaminated water. While the fort provided some protection, the colonists faced constant threats including attacks, famines, and outbreaks of disease. It was not until strong new leadership was established that the colony began to survive.
Jamestown, its people and the virginia waters
The English settlers chose the location of Jamestown, Virginia as the site for their first permanent colony in North America for several strategic reasons. The location along the James River allowed ships easy access to dock close to shore. It also provided the settlers with the ability to see up and down the river for miles from the fort, helping them defend against attacks. While the water initially tasted fresh, the settlers later discovered it was unhealthy for drinking and farming, but they remained due to the strategic advantages of the location.

- 3. Jamestown • Jamestown is a name of first rank among historic names, saw the birth of English America. • Here on an island in the James River, in the heart of dewater Virginia, the English carved a settlement out of the wilderness. • Thus, the American people can fully understand and enjoy their historic heritage of Jamestown. • Land records have been carefully scrunized and old existing landmarks been studied. A key part of the search has been the systematic excavation on of the town site itself in order to bring to light the information on and objects long buried there.
- 5. Europeans set out to colonize present day Jamestown, Virginia. They expected easy trade and communication with the native tribes living there. They thought there would be an abundance of resources to trade with the Indians. Jamestown was founded in 1607. King James of England wanted a colony so he gave a charter for land in 1606. Captain Christopher Newport took leadership of 100 men on May 14, 1607.
- 6. • In seven months, half of the colony was wiped out with disease and infection. • The winter of 1609 - 10 was known as the "starving time." • The colonists were running out of food and water because they never planted corn and vegetable crops, they also had no livestock. • The colony had grown to 700 people, but by the fall there were only 400 survivors. • The people starved to death because they had very little food
- 7. The ships that set out for Jamestown got lost and were facing starvation. When they finally found land a settlement was built, not focusing on defense. The many Indian attacks were harsh and unexpected. Many also died from diseases caused by the contaminated water.
- 9. James Town was fairly unknown in our history books and occurred about ten years before the Pilgrims hit Plymouth Rock. Over 150 people manned J.T. but within a few months nearly 70 men died. Indians were a problem and so was the water plus food was a scarce commodity also but what was really killing so many?
