An English Colonyon the Chesapeake
• The Fragile Jamestown Settlement
- Investors at first did not know how they would make money (Forests? Gold? Crops?)
- Early attack on settlers. Provoked?
- Powhatan tribe controlled the area and Spain wanted to dislodge the settlement
- Disease and starvation upon the settlers
- Infighting
- “Gentlemen” refused to do manual labor
- “Starving Time” winter of 1609-10. Only 60 of the 500 first settlers survived.

A Tobacco Society• Tobacco Agriculture
- Grew wild in the New World- Really expensive “high society” luxury in Europe (high demand)- Great opportunity for the poor and middle class in the New World
• A Servant Labor System- Requires year-round labor - 80% of immigrants were indentured servants- 4 to 7 years of labor = passage to new world and when finished freedom dues (corn and clothes)

Cultivating Land and Faith
• New settlers pushed into the frontier to cultivate land
• Sunday church services attendance was required, however…
• This region was not very religious– few clergy– motivations of settlers were mostly
economic

died of dysentery, rebellion crushed• Aftermath: Governor replaced, reduced taxes, transition
