PLAY THE 13 COLONIES GAME
Chapter 4.1-4.3: The Thirteen Colonies
1750
Do Now: Examine
the map: In 1750
who else was living
in North America?
What feelings might
they have about the
European
colonists?
Objective:
We are going to analyze the settlement and life in the 13 American colonies.
Essential Questions:
1. How did a variety of influences from three continents shape life in colonial North America?
2. How were indigenous societies in the North America impacted and how did they respond to colonization by Europeans?
3. How did government and representative democracy evolve in North America?
4. What were the differing motivations for the colonization of North America?
5. How did the institution of slavery shape the character of early European America?
The seal of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
What is depicted in this image? Do you think this represents a truth about the Native Americans living in “New England?”
4.1 THE NEW ENGLAND COLONIES
Led by John Winthrop Puritans left
England in a “Great Migration” for
the Massachusetts bay colony.
Between 1629-1640 some
15,000 Puritans and other
English settlers moved to
Boston and the
Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Thomas Hooker set up the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut allowing all male property owners to vote. Roger Williams founded Rhode Island and fostered religious tolerance in the colony.
“Enforced uniformity confounds civil and religious liberty
and denies the principles of Christianity and civility. No man
shall be required to worship or maintain a worship against
his will.” –Roger WIlliams
The Salem, Massachusetts, meeting
house in which Roger Williams preached.
Roger Williams negotiating with
the Pequot Indians.
Roger Williams escaped to Narragansett Bay
where he was sheltered by his Indian friends.
He purchased lands from them and founded
the community of Providence, accepting all
settlers regardless of their beliefs.
Anne Hutchinson a Puritan held prayer groups in her home near Boston. She was put on trial for holding these groups. Hutchinson was banished to Rhode Island after claiming that God spoke directly to her. Hutchinson is important to the struggle for religious freedom.
“If any come to my house
to be instructed in the
ways of God what rule
have I to put them
away?... Do you think it
not lawful for me to teach
women and why do you
call me to teach the
court?”
Metacom, aka “King Phillip” leader of the
Wampanoag natives attacked villages throughout
New England. 600 colonists were killed and
dozens of Puritan towns were burned. Metacom
was eventually captured and his men were sold
in to slavery. How is
Metacom
depicted?
Who do
you think
drew this?
LIFE IN NEW ENGLAND
Puritans observed the Sabbath, and by law had
to go to church all day on Sunday. Puritans met
for town meetings and had strict laws. The
Puritan economy centered around ship building,
fishing, farming and trade.
Do Now: Examine the map and break down the 13 original colonies into three groups:
New England
Middle Colonies
Southern Colonies
The New England colonies were settled by people of this religion ________________.
______________ led a war against the Puritans to protect the Wampanoag's.
Who was the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony?
Name all four New England colonies.
Which colony did Roger Williams set up? What impact did Roger Williams have on America?
____________ founded the Connecticut colony.
Who was banished from Massachusetts for holding prayer groups? Is she an American hero?
Did the Puritans treat the Native Americans fairly?
In your opinion why did the Salem witch trials take place? What does this tell you about the Puritans in New England?
Objective: We are going to examine the
settlement and life in the middle colonies.
4.2 THE MIDDLE COLONIES
Under the leadership of Peter Stuyvesant New
Netherlands became New York when English
warships entered its harbor. Stuyvesant lacked
the resources to defend the city.
Where does New Jersey get
its name?
New Jersey was established by George Carteret
and Lord Berkeley. New Jersey had good
farmland and allowed for religious tolerance.
Did we have slavery in New Jersey?
What is
happening
in this
image?
“To be like Christ
is to be a
Christian.”
-William Penn
William Penn a Quaker believed in non-violence, religious freedom and equality. Penn forced the settlers of Pennsylvania to pay for the land they got from the Native Americans. Delaware broke away from Pennsylvania to form its own colony.
“A Holy
Experiment.”
EXAMINE THE MAP: HOW DID THE ECONOMY OF THE MIDDLE
COLONIES DIFFER FROM THAT OF THE NEW ENGLAND AND
SOUTHERN COLONIES?
Settlers including craftsmen,
farmers and African slaves in the
Middle Colonies made their
money growing cash crops such
as wheat. Along with the crops
farm animals and crafts were
exported to Europe and the West
Indies.
German and Scotch Irish families arrived to colonize the Eastern Appalachian Mountains. This is called the Great Wagon Road.
Who might disagree with the term “Great Wagon Road.”

DEMAREST NJ IN THE COLONIAL PERIOD
David Demarest, originally known as Davis des Marets, settled in Bergen County New Jersey in 1677. He was founder of the Demarest family in America, and was one of a band of French Huguenots who came to this country in 1663. The earliest settlers in the area, now known as Demarest, were the Westervelts, whose homestead still stands as the northern wing at 277 County Road. The year was 1723, and other Dutch settlers from New Amsterdam soon followed, having obtained land grants from the British owners of New Jersey.

4.3 THE SOUTHERN
COLONIES
Mason and Dixon, two land surveyors explored for years and created a line dividing Pennsylvania and Maryland. The Mason-Dixon divided the Southern Colonies.
What
economic
products

In 1632 Lord Baltimore
of England settled
Maryland as a colony for
Roman Catholics.
Baltimore however
passed the Act of
Toleration allowing
religious freedom to all
Christians. (This did not
include Jews, Muslims
or non-Christians.)
(ITS NOT AS TASTY AS IT SOUNDS:)
Nathaniel Bacon a Virginia planter led raids on
Native American villages and burned
Jamestown for the governor’s lack of
assistance to rural planters.
NATHANIEL BACON
“The poverty of the country is
such that all the power and sway
has got into the hands of the
rich, who by extortious
advantages, having the common
people in their debt, have always
curbed and oppressed them in
all manner of ways.”
Objective: We are going to analyze the colonies
of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
We will discuss their economic products and
the institution of slavery.
QUICK REVIEW ON THE SOUTHERN COLONIES
Which was the first southern colony?
Who founded Maryland and for which religious
group?
Why was the “Act of Toleration” ironic?
What happened during Bacon’s Rebellion?
North Carolina was
settled by tobacco
farmers from Virginia who
migrated South.
Charleston, South
Carolina was founded by
wealthy plantation
owners who grew rice
and indigo. Eventually
African slaves made up
the majority of the South
Carolina population.
James
Oglethopre
"In America there are fertile
lands sufficient to support
all the useless poor in
England, and distressed
Protestants in Europe; yet
thousands starve for want of
mere sustenance."
James Oglethorpe
founded the Georgia
colony as a refuge for
debtors to make
clean start.

What were the cash crops or commodities of
the southern colonies? Who grew these crops?
In your opinion, what was the greatest injustice
done to the African slaves?
Who founded Georgia? Why do you think only
debtors would move to Georgia?
Tidewater Plantations The Backcountry
•Large Plantations with 20-100 slaves
•Settled along rivers and coast
•Small percentage of the population
•Export Economy
•Small amount of African Slaves
•Settled in the inland areas
•White settlers treated each other as
equals
•Self-sufficient farms
AFRICAN SLAVERY
By 1700 plantations in the South had come to
rely on African slavery. (Slavery existed in all
colonies) Over 400 years some 9-12 million
Africans were brought to the Americas in the
trans-Atlantic Slave Trade or the Middle
Passage. At least 2-3 million died while in route
to the Americas. Slave codes and European
racism allowed Africans to be treated far less
than humans.
