▪ After England defeated Spain, England could then begin setting up colonies in North America
▪ Early settlements were created by joint stock companies: investors would join their money and get a charter from the king to set up a colony in North America
▪ The colonists were supposed to find gold/wealth to send back to the investors

▪ On May 24, 1607, about a 100 English settlers establish Jamestown colony in Chesapeake Area (Virginia)
▪ 1st permanent English colony in North America
▪ Jamestown was funded by the joint stock company was called the Virginia Company
▪ Colonist more concerned with digging for gold than working for survival
▪ Poor location, disease, starvation common3

• Luckily, in 1608, a Captain John Smith took over control and whipped the colonists into discipline.
• By 1625, out of an original overall total of 8000 would-be settlers, only 1200 had survived.

• John Rolfe cultivated a successful type of tobacco (good quality, easy to grow in Jamestown)
• Finally, a product that was profitable to the Virginia Company
• BUT tobacco depleted soil and ruined the land—leading to wars with natives over land.
• Tobacco also was labor intensive

▪ Native Americans were not suitable for slave labor on the tobacco plantations
▪ Englishmen could come to Jamestown and agree to work for 5-7 years to pay off their passage (indentured servitude)
▪ By 1619, people realize that indentured servitude isn’t all that was promised—but manual labor is still needed to grow tobacco
▪ African slaves were being imported to the colonies in North America (triangular trade)

• Representative self-government was born in Virginia, when in 1619, settlers created the House of Burgesses. Government for land owners
• Indentured servants brought to Jamestown to work soon are forced to live on the outskirts of the colony
• Constant Indian attacks and no voice in government leads to Bacon’s rebellion

New England colonies were not created for profit by joint stock companies, instead, these colonists came to North America looking for religious freedom
English pilgrims establish a colony at Plymouth in 1620
Puritans establish a colony in Boston in 1630--Massachusetts Bay Colony

![Page 9: Colonization through the Civil War 1. ▪ After England defeated Spain, England could then begin setting up colonies in North America ▪ Early settlements](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551af6ad5503466b6a8b662a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Religion controls colonial government and almost all aspects of private life as well
Only members of the Puritan church could participate in the town meetings
Such strict religious beliefs and control of government and society led to conflict within the Puritans

Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson spoke out against the Puritan church and were banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony
Roger Williams founded a new colony Providence (Rhode Island) were people truly had freedom of religion

1684– The King revoked Mass Bay Charter because they would not obey royal authority
Mass became a royal colony under the strict, direct control of the King
Salem Witch trials—1692 hysteria sweeps through Massachusetts as innocent people are convicted of witchcraft
More than 20 people died and 150 imprisoned

The Puritans church starts losing its control over society, so it passes a half way covenant (people who were not full members but could attend the Congregational Church)

![Page 13: Colonization through the Civil War 1. ▪ After England defeated Spain, England could then begin setting up colonies in North America ▪ Early settlements](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551af6ad5503466b6a8b662a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
In 1621 the Dutch formed a colony called New Netherland to take part in the thriving fur trade (present day New York/Hudson River area)
The capital of the colony was called New Amsterdam
The Dutch encouraged people from different parts of Europe to settle there and they had good relations with the neighboring Indians

![Page 14: Colonization through the Civil War 1. ▪ After England defeated Spain, England could then begin setting up colonies in North America ▪ Early settlements](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551af6ad5503466b6a8b662a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The English did not like this “Dutch Wedge” separating the English colonies of Massachusetts Bay and Virginia
The English drove out the Dutch without firing a shot
The colony is later named New York and a part of it becomes New Jersey

William Penn inherited land in North America due to a debt the king owed to his father
Penn set up a Quaker colonyQuakers promoted non violence & a
society where people were treated as equals
Immigrants from all over Europe settled in Pennsylvania (which weakened Quaker philosophies)
Penn promoted peaceful co-existence with the natives 15

• England set up a mercantilism system in which the colonies exported raw materials and products to the “Mother Country” and colonies had to buy products they needed from England
• Because of the tobacco and sugar plantations, slaves were imported from Africa (triangular/middle passage)
• Africans retain some of their native culture through song, dance, music and oral traditions

A thriving fur trade expanded French control to most of North America
England and France get involved in a war over territory from 1754-1763 (Seven Year’s War, French & Indian War)
France lost the war and had to give up most of its holdings in North America
The Treaty of Paris 1763 gave England and Spain most of the land in North America

The Proclamation of 1763 said colonists could not settle west of the Appalachian mountains
![Page 20: Colonization through the Civil War 1. ▪ After England defeated Spain, England could then begin setting up colonies in North America ▪ Early settlements](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551af6ad5503466b6a8b662a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
American colonists feel that they should have the right to move into some of the newly acquired areas
Causes tension between colonists and crown
Also the English need to raise money to help pay for war expenses, so they start to directly tax the colonies
20
![Page 21: Colonization through the Civil War 1. ▪ After England defeated Spain, England could then begin setting up colonies in North America ▪ Early settlements](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551af6ad5503466b6a8b662a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Colonists had gotten used to not being directly controlled by Britain
So when England starts taxing the colonies and enforcing the taxes, American colonists do not like it
Sugar Act (1st direct tax—offenders would be tried in a royal court)
Navigation Act restricted colonial trade with other nations
21
![Page 22: Colonization through the Civil War 1. ▪ After England defeated Spain, England could then begin setting up colonies in North America ▪ Early settlements](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551af6ad5503466b6a8b662a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Sons of liberty was a secret resistance group led by Samuel Adams who organized boycotts of British goods
Women also organized boycotts and protested taxes by making their own clothes and making colonial versions of “tea”
The Committees of Correspondence organized communications throughout the colonies to keep the colonists up to date about resistance activities

War breaks out in Spring 1775 When it becomes clear that England will
not compromise, people begin to change from “no taxation without representation” to total independence from the crown
Thomas Paine wrote Common Sense, a pamphlet criticizing the king and calling upon the colonies to break away from the tyrannical monarchy and form a new government based on social and economic equality
27

By summer 1776 the Continental Congress agreed that separating from England was the best action
Thomas Jefferson was asked to write down the colonies concerns and complaints
Jefferson drew upon John Locke’s ideas of natural rights that a government could not take away from the people
“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”
28
![Page 29: Colonization through the Civil War 1. ▪ After England defeated Spain, England could then begin setting up colonies in North America ▪ Early settlements](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551af6ad5503466b6a8b662a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Winter 1777-1778
Soldiers stay at a Fort in Pennsylvania
2,000 of the 10,000 camped there died from exposure to the elements or starvation

1st attempt at a government for the USA
Gave the national government very little power (did not want a strong central government) could not tax, not executive or courts, hard to amend/ratify, no national army, etc)
States had most of the powers
37
![Page 38: Colonization through the Civil War 1. ▪ After England defeated Spain, England could then begin setting up colonies in North America ▪ Early settlements](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551af6ad5503466b6a8b662a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Farmers who fought in the American revolution are angry because banks are foreclosing on their farms
They marched on the local government demanding the courts be closed (violent rebellion)
The federal government didn’t have the power to call on troops to help the state government
**Shays’ rebellion showed that the Articles of Confederation government was too weak
38
![Page 39: Colonization through the Civil War 1. ▪ After England defeated Spain, England could then begin setting up colonies in North America ▪ Early settlements](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551af6ad5503466b6a8b662a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
September 17, 1787—delegates decide to replace the Articles of Confederation with a stronger, more effective government
2 groups Anti-federalists—wanted a Bill of rights Federalists wanted the Constitution
ratified James Madison and Alexander Hamilton
wrote the Federalist Papers to gain support for the Constitution
39
![Page 40: Colonization through the Civil War 1. ▪ After England defeated Spain, England could then begin setting up colonies in North America ▪ Early settlements](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551af6ad5503466b6a8b662a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
1. Popular Sovereignty2. Limited Government3. Federalism4. Separation of Powers5. Checks and Balances
The Constitution was written by James Madison
40
![Page 41: Colonization through the Civil War 1. ▪ After England defeated Spain, England could then begin setting up colonies in North America ▪ Early settlements](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551af6ad5503466b6a8b662a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
A federal government allowed powers to be shared between state and national governments
Separation of power would be divided among the executive, judicial, and legislative branches
Each branch would have specific responsibilities and the ability to check the power of the other branches
41
![Page 42: Colonization through the Civil War 1. ▪ After England defeated Spain, England could then begin setting up colonies in North America ▪ Early settlements](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551af6ad5503466b6a8b662a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Solved the problem of representation in Congress
The Constitution would create a bicameral legislature
The Senate would have 2 representatives from each state
The House of Representatives would have members based on each state’s population (larger states would have more reps in the House than smaller states)
42
![Page 43: Colonization through the Civil War 1. ▪ After England defeated Spain, England could then begin setting up colonies in North America ▪ Early settlements](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551af6ad5503466b6a8b662a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Slavery was specifically not put into the final draft of the Constitution
They were afraid southern states would not ratify the new plan for government if the Constitution stated slavery was wrong
The Bill of Rights The 1st 10 amendments were added to
the Constitution (Bill of rights) Protect people’s basic freedoms and
liberties

• Both men served on Washington’s cabinet• Very different ideas about the power of the
government outlined in the constitution• Hamilton—wanted a strong national govt,
a loose interpretation of the constitution, and a Bank of the U.S. His plans favored wealthy Americans
• Jefferson—wanted stronger state governments, a strict interpretation of the Constitution, and favored farmers and average Americans
