2.2.1 Brazil's Sugar Plantations

2.2.2 England's Tobacco Colonies

1. The Jamestown Settlement
   

   Merchants then took charge of English Expansion. In 1606, King James I granted the Virginia Company of London a large stretch of land on the east coast of the present-day United States. In 1607 the Virgina Company set off a group with no intention of self-sufficiency, as they expected to be able to extract tribute from the indigenous peoples.

   Unfortunately, the team settled down in a rather poor spot, not fit for planting crops, and with no access to fresh water. Many of the men died of famine.

   When word of the survivors' plan to overthrow the native population reached the chief, Powhatan, he tried to bargain and instead expected equal tribute from the incoming settlers. Unfortunately this did not sit well with the settlers.

   This war was followed by the discovery of tobacco, which would become a cash crop much like sugar in Brazil.

   To try and foster migration, the Virginia Company created a rudimentary government and a House of Burgesses that would encompass the representatives. Virginia became a "Royal Colony"; the king took ownership, the religion officially became Anglicism.

2. The Indian War of 1622
   

   The native population led a suprise attack on the settlers, killing a third of their population, but then the settlers fought back hard and completely seized most food sources. The settlers won.

3. Lord Baltimore Settles Catholics in Maryland
   

   Maryland was originally a colony made for Catholicism. It was proprietary; wasn't owned by the king but instead privately. In this case it was created and operated Lord Baltimore.

   Because of the wide range of faiths taking hold Maryland, a neighboring colony, Baltimore had to enact the Toleration Act which allowed and protected all forms of Christianity in Maryland.

2.2.3 The Caribbean Islands

2.2.4 Plantation Life

1. Indentured Servitude
   

   The prospect of owning land attracted new settlers. Some were too poor to make the journey to Americas, so merchants persuaded them into indentured servitude.

   indentured servitude: contracted work for a specified amount of time, in exchange for passage along the Atlantic, with free status at the end of the working period

   Being an indentured servant was tough work and often as an indentured servant you would not make it to the end of your working period. Indentured servants were worked ruthlessly to maximize gains, and if they disobeyed or ran away they would either be sold or have their working period extended.

   Out of the half of indentured servants that completed their working period, most did not escape poverty. Only a quarter of all indentured servants ever achieved their dream of owning successful property in America.

2. African Laborers
   

   African slave labor became much cheaper than indentured servitude, and much more available due to the Columbian Exchange. Because of the declining price for tobacco, plantation owners needed to make tobacco as cheaply as possible.

   There came a point, starting in the 1620s, where indentured servants weren't in enough supply to keep up with the demand. By 1671, leaders in Virginia were passing laws to discriminate by color. The House of Burgesses was passing laws that made the African slaves inferior in every way.

2.3.1 New France

2.3.2 New Netherland

2.3.3 The Rise of the Iroquois

2.3.4 New England

1. The Pilgrims
   

   England's then-current king threatened to drive Puritans out of the land. So, they decided to do it themselves, and move to America. They created their own constitution called the Mayflower Compact that based the political structure the Puritans' self-governing religious congregation.

   When King Charles I dissolved Parliament and claimed divine right, many more Puritans came to America.

   Puritans: dissenters from the Church of England who wanted a genuine reformation rather than the partial Reformation sought by Henry VIII

2. John Winthrop and Massachusetts Bay
   

   John Winthrop was one of the leaders that drew a lot of Puritans to America. He led over 900 people to Massachusets Bay and became the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

   "We must consider that we shall be as a City upon a Hill. The eyes of all people are upon us." – John Winthrop

   This colony specifically restricted governmental decisions to Puritans. Unlike the Pilgrims, which believed in separation of church and state, the Massachusetts Bay Colony completely combined church and state.

3. Roger Williams and Rhode Island
   

   The Massachusetts Bay colony wanted to get rid of anyone who didn't agree with their beliefs. One of those people was Roger Williams. He thought that the belief that God decided everything was nonsensical, that the seizure of Native American lands was unethical, and most importantly that the church and state should be separated.

   Williams and his followers later settled 50 miles south, and as well obtained a corporate charter from Parliament to create a new colony.

4. Anne Hutchinson
   

   Anne Hutchinson had wildly different values than most Puritans, and as a woman she was increasingly looked down upon. She believed in being able to communicate with God yourself, and having total free will.

5. Puritanism and Witchcraft
   

   Puritans believed that the world was full of supernatural forces. The Puritans were suspicious of people who tried to manipulate these forces.

   An example of how policies like death for witchcraft can cause mass hysteria is the Salem Witch Trials. 175 people were tried and 19 were executed on claims of witchcraft.

2.4.1 New England's Indian Wars

1. Puritan-Pequot War
   

   The Pequots were allied with the Dutch, so they were a particular nuisance to the English. Violent encounters began in July 1636 and escalated until May 1637 when Massachusetts and Conneticut combined along with Narragansett and Mohegan warriors to attack a Pequot village. They massacred over 500 men, women, and children.

   Believing they were "God's chosen people", the Puritans thought that their presence, success, and decisions were divinely ordained.

2. Metacom's War
   

   The native Wampanoag population felt outnumbered by the European population. They tried to protect themselves but got continually bitter at being disadvantaged. Eventually both sides showed aggression and the Wampanoags lost.

2.4.2 Bacon's Rebellion

1. Frontier War
   

   A conflict with the Native American population ignited the social rebellion. The landless former servants wanted to settle on the native lands as they had nowhere else to go. A vigilante band of Virginian men murdered 30 natives, and from there the conflict escalated. The Susquehannocks had to retaliate, and they did so by destroying plantations and killing 300 whites.

2. Challenging the Government
   

   Nathaniel Bacon held a position in Berkeley's council, but he empathized with the poor and the natives. He was shut out of the council when he differed with Berkeley on native affairs. At this point, Bacon had an army of supporters. That army forced his release from arrest. They also forced a legislative election process.

   Unfortunately this came too late. Bacon's army started destroying towns, burning Jamestown to the ground, and plundering the plantations of Berkeley's allies.

   When Bacon suddenly died of dyssentery in October 1676, Berkeley took revenge, but also took steps to protect the poor and the natives to make sure something like this wouldn't happen again.
