  4. Section 1 The Southern Colonies

  5. Jamestown, VA • Founded in 1607 by the London Company • Joint-stock company • The oldest permanent English settlement in North America • Many of the first settlers died due to starvation, disease, and inexperience

  6. Jamestown, VA • 1st good leader – John Smith • Brought some stability; built a fort • 2nd good leader – John Rolfe • Married Pocahantas, introduced VA tobacco to England, and improved relations with the Powhatan Indians

  7. Jamestown, VA • In 1622, fighting broke out between the Powhatan and the settlers • Settlers couldn’t defend their territory, so their charter was revoked • Jamestown and all of VA were made into a royal colony governed by the king of England

  8. Daily Life in VA • Plantations • Large farms where one crop was grown • Need for a strong labor force • Due to the large number of plantations, owners needed a large, steady workforce

  9. Think about it. . .Page 74 Indentured Servant Slave

  10. Labor Force • Indentured servants were the first major source of labor in VA. • Agreed to work 4-7 years in exchange for a ride to the VA colony • Worked based on a contract • Once the contract was up, the servant was freed; many became successful and wealthy • Indentured servants were cheaper because the master did not own them

  11. Labor Force • Slaves were also being sold in the VA colony • Lifelong service • Involuntary service • No hope for freedom • More expensive because buying a slave meant complete ownership of them.

  12. Cause and Effect of Increased Slave Labor • Cause – The demand for indentured servants rose, but the supply was too small. • Effect – As a result, many plantation owners began buying slaves to work on their farms.

  13. Nathaniel Bacon’s Rebellion • Some Jamestown settlers were upset with British taxes and kindness toward Indians • Nathaniel Bacon led a rebellion where he first attacked the Indians and then burned most of Jamestown (Bacon’s Rebellion)

  14. Other Southern Colonies

  15. Maryland (1632) • Founded by Lord Baltimore as a safe colony for Catholics to worship freely • Proprietary Colony • Allowed settlers to govern themselves; had to obey British laws as well • Toleration Act of 1649 • Made Maryland a center of religious freedom for all groups

  16. Carolina (1663) • Originally one colony; got too big and became two colonies in 1712. • Most NC settlers were from Virginia and were farmers • SC was mainly settled by European farmers; became a royal colony in 1729.

  17. Georgia (1732) • Founded by James Oglethorpe as a penal colony • Created as a place where debtors could start a new life • At first, slavery and plantations were both outlawed in Georgia • Settlers were unhappy with the system; in 1752 it became a royal colony • King George gave the settlers what they wanted; plantations and slavery were soon dominant

  18. The Economy of the South • Economy • Southern colonies depended mostly upon AGRICULTURE and FARMING!!! TOBACCO RICE INDIGO

  19. Southern Economy and Slavery • The Southern need for agriculture demanded a large slave labor force • By the 1700s, slaves were used more than indentured servants • The Southern states created slave codes • Laws to control slaves • Slaves could not hold meetings, learn to read or write, have weapons, and in some colonies masters could not free slaves

  28. New England Religion and Government • Religion – PROTESTANT!!! • Government – Massachusetts had the first bicameral legislature

  29. RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT WERE CLOSELY LINKED IN NEW ENGLAND! • Gov’t leaders had to be church members • Ministers were viewed as leaders in society • Only male church members could vote • Gov’t leaders outlawed certain religious views • Gov’t punished religious dissenters Puritan officials praying at a government meeting
