The Virginia Colony
This PowerPoint presentation was created to accompany a lecture on the Virginia Colony in my US History courses. In the lecture, I discuss the failure of the Roanoke Colony, the rough start of the Jamestown Colony, the importance of tobacco agriculture (and the labor forces necessary to cultivate the labor-intensive cash crop), and the relationships between the settlers and the Powhatan Indians.
