Examine the harsh realities faced by early colonists at Jamestown and the Puritans, who navigated the stark odds of survival while addressing the critical problem of labor scarcity that led to the rise of indentured servitude and slavery. Delve into the questions of colonial identity and governance, focusing on decentralization and local autonomy as key elements shaping colonial society by 1770.
