THE START OF VIRGINIA

-Virginia was the first part of the country permanently settled by the

English, who established Jamestown in 1607.

-In 1606, a joint-stock company, the Virginia Company, received a

charter from King James I that allowed it to establish a colony in the

New World.

-Not only did they plan to establish an English settlement in the

Americas, but they also planned to search for gold and silver, and to

search for a route to the Pacific Ocean that would allow them to trade

with the Orient.

-Setting sail in the late 1606, the 104 men landed in the Chesapeake

Bay, where Indians attacked them. The men soon chose a location on the

banks of the James River, named in honor of King James I on May 24th,

1607.

RELIGION AT JAMESTOWN

The leaders of the Virginia Company

were members of the Church of English

and brought the established religion with

them at Jamestown.

In 1607, the settlers built the first real

church building and worshiped there until

January 1608, where it was destroyed by

fire and then rebuilt.

In 1610, Lord de la Warr made church

attendance mandatory according to some

laws and punishments were given if the

services were not attended.

desire to create a refuge for Roman Catholics who were still beingpersecuted in Protestant England.

MARYLAND & NATIVE

AMERICAN RELATIONS

The native Americans in Colonial Maryland were very

unappreciated. The chief of the Potomac Indians welcomed thesettlers saying "We will eat at the same table; my followers will too go

to hunt for you; and we will all have things in common." Though the

Indians were acting for peace, king Charles I ordered that they be

eliminated. The colonization led to the scattering of tribes and loss ofNative American heritage.

The Coin of the Realm in Maryland was tobacco. Goods and

services were bartered for tobacco which was shipped to England andsold. If you had tobacco, you had a source of income coming in as

people bought and sold tobacco crops and also sent tobacco to

England and got money in return..

DELAWARE NATIVE

RELATIONS

When the Europeans arrived the Delawares taught

them many new things, and the Delawares learned

from the whites also. They both had different

lifestyles. Some European's understood the Indians and

treated them fairly; others cheated them and stole

their land. Indians defended themselves at first with

bows and arrows, but the Europeans had guns.

Thousands of Indians were killed in battle. Many

Europeans moved west and became a greater

threat to the Indians way of life.

RELIGION IN DELAWARE

Not dominated by a specific religion which gave way to religious

freedom for Quakers, Catholics, Lutherans, Jews and others.


32/37

ECONOMICS IN DELAWARE

Exported agricultural products and natural resources. They were

also able to manufacture iron ore products such as plows, tools,

kettles, locks, nails and large blocks of iron which they exported to

England.

Delaware was often referred to as a breadbasket colony because it

grew so many crops, especially wheat. The wheat was ground into

flour in flour mills then shipped to England.

LABOR

When the colonists first settled in what is now Delaware most of them came as

English indentured servants, of course later on there were African slaves. In the

early 1800's the majority of the African population in Delaware were free, though

there was not any official legislature declaring them free. Delaware remained in the

Union during the Civil War. In 1861 Abraham Lincoln pushed for the remaining

slave holders to be compensated in return of the freedom of the slaves, at the time

there were less than 1,800 slaves in Delaware (mostly in Sussex county) and in 1862

slavery was declared unlawful in all U.S. territories

GOVERNMENT IN

DELAWARE

James, the Duke of York, gave Delaware to William Penn in 1682

who said that he needed the land to secure his own colony of

Pennsylvania. At first the two colonies were joined and shared the

same legislative assembly. After 1701, Delaware was given the right to

its own assembly. However, both colonies shared the same governor.

It was not until 1776 that Delaware was declared separate fromPennsylvania.
