• Spain, France, and Great Britain (England) claimed colonies in North America.
• Spain– Occupied much of the southern part of the continent.
• France – Used rivers and inland waterways to occupy much of the
North American interior.
• England – Established colonies along the eastern coast between
the Atlantic Ocean and the Appalachian Mountains.
![Page 16: Chapter 1 Colonization.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052318/5a4d1b557f8b9ab0599a90fc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
British Colonies• English settlers came to North America with the
intention of staying long term.– Colonies from Georgia to Maine.
• Different motivations and the geographic diversity of the land.– Contributed to economic, political, and social diversity.
• English colonies divided into 3 geographic regions.– New England Colonies– Middle Colonies– Southern Colonies
![Page 17: Chapter 1 Colonization.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052318/5a4d1b557f8b9ab0599a90fc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Southern Colonies
![Page 18: Chapter 1 Colonization.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052318/5a4d1b557f8b9ab0599a90fc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Jamestown, Virginia• 1st successful English settlement.• Founded in 1607 by the Virginia Company– Joint-stock company that hoped to make money off of products
and raw materials.• Tough beginning.– Cold winters, disease, and starvation killed many settlers
• Native Americans helped, allowing Jamestown to survive and grow.
• John Rolfe discovered tobacco.• headright system– Instituted by Virginia to attract settlers/labors– Promised 50 acres of land to those who would settle in the colony.
![Page 19: Chapter 1 Colonization.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052318/5a4d1b557f8b9ab0599a90fc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Economy (Southern Colonies)• Tobacco became incredibly popular in Europe.– Important cash crop for Virginia, Maryland, & North
Carolina.• South Carolina & Georgia– Hot, wet climates made rice and indigo important crops.
• Colonies also produced tar, pitch, and turpentine from the abundant forests.
• Staple crops– Crops in large demand and provide a bulk of a region’s
income.– South relied on. (tobacco & rice)– Led to the rise of the plantation system.
![Page 20: Chapter 1 Colonization.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052318/5a4d1b557f8b9ab0599a90fc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Plantation System• Huge farms owned by wealthy landowners.– Raised cash crops.– Required lots of manual labor.• Indentured servants & slavery became important parts of the
southern economy.
• indentured servants– Could not afford to come to North America.– Agreed to work for a landowner for up to seven years in
exchange for the landowners paying for their trip.– Eventually gave way to slavery.• System in which people are owned like property.
![Page 21: Chapter 1 Colonization.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052318/5a4d1b557f8b9ab0599a90fc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• mid-1600s– Slavery was firmly rooted throughout the colonies.• Especially the South• 1700s, slaves outnumbered free Europeans in South Carolina.
• South did not develop the major centers of commerce and large cities that arose in the North.– Plantations tended to lie along rivers & inland
waterways.– Owners had direct access to shipping without having to
first transport their products over land to major ports.
![Page 22: Chapter 1 Colonization.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052318/5a4d1b557f8b9ab0599a90fc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Southern Society• Divided between rich plantation owners, poor
farmers, and slaves.
• Tended to accept class distinctions and the idea that the wealthy, upper class is superior to the lower, poor class.– gentry – wealthy upper class
• Belief that male members of the upper class should be in positions of power and authority.
![Page 23: Chapter 1 Colonization.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052318/5a4d1b557f8b9ab0599a90fc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Southern Colonies were established predominantly for economic reasons.– Unlike colonies further north.– Maryland the exception.• Started as a colony for Catholics.
• Rich landowners tended to remain part of the Church of England.– Best for political and economic interests.
• Methodist and Baptist congregations became common among poorer southerners.
