2 Migration People and animals have moved, or migrated, since the beginning of time.

3 The British colonists of the 1600s and 1700s moved to America for the same two reasons people move today. Religious Freedom Economic Opportunity _0658.jpg _Magnet_Pound.jpg

4 Where did most of America s colonial settlers come from? Great Britain AKA: United Kingdom AKA: England

5 Remember the two reasons people migrated in the 1600s and 1700s?

6 Jamestown, Virginia Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in America. It was settled in 1607 for economic opportunity. The men were looking for gold. Remember Pocahontas? P.S. There was no gold /261638_large.jpg

7 Near Failure at Jamestown The men were so busy looking for gold (that wasn t there) that they neglected to focus on shelter, farming, and friendly relationships with the native Powhatan people. They also built their fort on a swamp. Swamps are full of mosquitos. Mosquitos carry lots of nasty diseases, like malaria.

8 Many of the original settlers starved to death. Some of the settlers resorted to cannibalism.

9 John Smith Real John Smith got the Jamestown colony into shape. He enforced very strict rules. He who does not work, neither shall he eat. Disney

10 John Rolfe John Smith got hurt and had to return to England. John Rolfe is the guy who actually saved the Jamestown colony. He is also the guy who married Pocahontas. He saved Jamestown by introducing tobacco as a cash crop. It s probably the only time in history that tobacco saved lives. (Selling it, not smoking it)

11 Servitude The Jamestown settlers and other early colonists tried to enslave the Native Americans. That did not work. Native Americans were highly susceptible to European diseases because they had never been exposed to them before. Indentured servants were used instead. Indentured servants were people who wanted to move to the colonies, but could not afford the trip. They sold their labor in exchange for passage to the New World. After 4-7 years labor they were given their freedom. 51fb883295eeb9/indenturedservants.jpg

12 Slavery Seeing that the indentured servants were earning their freedom, the colonists turned to a more permanent form of servitude. In 1619 they began importing African slaves. Slavery lasted in America until America is not the only country to have slaves. Every race of people has owned slaves and every race of people has been slaves.

13 Plymouth Colony In 1620 the Pilgrims left England and sailed to America. They came here for religious freedom. Before they stepped off the ship, The Mayflower, the men sat down and decided on what kind of government they would have. The wrote the Mayflower Compact, which established selfgovernment for the people of the Plymouth Colony.
