Chapter 3 Section 1 In 1607, England’s King James I granted a charter to a group of merchants to establish a colony called Virginia in North America. The merchants, who formed the Virginia Company of London, were eager to gain a share of the wealth of the Americas. The First English Settlements
Chapter 3 Section 1 The first colonists —about 100 men —arrived in Virginia in the spring of 1607. The First English Settlements They built a fort they called Jamestown, which proved to be England’s first permanent settlement in North America.
Chapter 3 Section 1 By the spring of 1608, only 38 of the original colonists were still alive. That fall, John Smith was sent from England to lead the colony. Under his firm leadership, the colonists planted crops and built buildings. The First English Settlements
Chapter 3 Section 1 Meanwhile, hundreds of new colonists— including the first English women to settle in Jamestown—arrived. To get more food, Smith raided Native American villages, which angered Powhatan. In the fall of 1609, Smith returned to England after being injured in an explosion. The First English Settlements
Chapter 3 Section 1 Jamestown barely survived its first year because many colonists: • died of diseases such as malaria • wanted to look for gold, not farm Local Native Americans, led by a chief named Powhatan, gave the colonists some food. The First English Settlements
Chapter 3 Section 1 With Smith gone, conditions quickly worsened. Powhatan decided to drive the English away, and he began by refusing to give them more food. The terrible winter of 1609– 1610 is called the “starving time, ” because by the spring, only 60 colonists were still alive. The First English Settlements
Chapter 3 Section 1 Despite the hard times, Jamestown began to prosper. Jamestown Survives Efforts of the Virginia Company • The company sent new colonists, offered free land to existing colonists, and sent new leaders to restore order in the colony. Efforts of the Colonists • The colonists found a dependable source of income to sustain the colony: tobacco. • By the 1580 s, smoking tobacco had become popular in parts of Europe. • The colonists’ success in growing and selling tobacco drew new colonists from England. The First English Settlements
Chapter 3 Section 1 The colonies developed a tradition of representative government. In 1619, Virginia’s lawmaking body, the House of Burgesses, was elected. The House of Burgesses marked the start of representative government in North America. The First English Settlements
Chapter 3 Section 1 In 1619, a Dutch ship arrived from the West Indies and sold 20 Africans to the Virginia colonists as slaves. In the early days of the colony, enslaved people had a chance to earn their freedom after working a certain number of years. Permanent slavery for Africans was not established in Virginia until the late 1600 s. The First English Settlements
Chapter 3 Section 1 In the 1500 s, English subjects were expected to support the Church of England, and they could be punished if they had different religious beliefs. The Separatists wanted to separate from the Church of England practice Christianity in their own way. Between 1607 and 1609, several groups of Separatists left England settled in Holland. The First English Settlements
Chapter 3 Section 1 In 1620, one group of Separatists decided to leave Holland settle in Virginia. The Pilgrims sailed for Virginia aboard a ship called the Mayflower. A storm blew them off course, and so they landed in present-day Massachusetts. The First English Settlements
Chapter 3 Section 1 The Pilgrims called their new home Plymouth. Before leaving the ship, 41 men signed the Mayflower Compact, a document that called for a representative government. Mayflower Compact The Mayflower Compact was the first document in which American colonists claimed a right to govern themselves. The First English Settlements
Chapter 3 Section 1 During the winter of 1620– 1621, half of the Pilgrims died from hunger or disease. In the spring, a local chief gave the Pilgrims food, and another Native American named Squanto taught the Pilgrims how to plant crops. In the fall of 1621, the Pilgrims set aside a day to give thanks, which is now celebrated as the first Thanksgiving celebration. The First English Settlements
