North America; already populated and diverse Those new arrivals who came to the region which would become the United States arrived on a continent which was already populated by hundreds of different indigenous (native) groups, related by varying degrees of shared language, customs, beliefs and skills. Certain major groups, such as the Algonquin and Iroquois, had lengthy traditions of rivalry and warfare at the time that Europeans first arrived in North America Native American cultural and linguistic groups

  13. Richard Hakluyt, 1584; text copy to be distributed in class “...All the commodities of all our old decayed and dangerous trades in all Europe, Africa, and Asia...may in short space [count] for little or nothing [compared with]...that part of America which lieth between 30 and 60 degrees of northerly latitude,  if by our slackness we suffer not the French or others to prevent us....”

  14. Using Two-Column Notes to analyze a document; Two column notes—sometimes called Cornell Notes—are an effective way to analyze the content of any written document. The link below will take you to a page which explains two column notes. Once we have discussed this method in class, we will analyze Richard Hakluyt’s letter using this method. In the future, you will use this method on a regular basis for graded assignments of written documents, articles and letters. How to use the Cornell Two Column note system

  19. The English and The Dutch competed for control in the Northeast

  20.

  21. Eventually, the English created thirteen distinct colonies along the coast of North America; Chart of the 13 colonies which became the United States

  22. The Pilgrims In 1620 a group of settlers commonly known as “Pilgrims” landed in what became Massachusetts; unlike the Puritans who would follow them, the Pilgrims had left The Church of England and therefore were not representatives of any larger movement. Already a cohesive community when they landed in North America, the Pilgrims settled in an abandoned Indian Village at Plymouth, created good relations with the local Wampanoag people, and created the first enduring American tradition; Thanksgiving.

  23. Then, in 1630…. ……a new, much larger, group of English people arrived in Massachusetts. These were the Puritans, who remained members of the Church of England but were subject to persecution and legal restrictions in their home country as a result of their criticisms of The Church of England. One of their leaders was John Winthrop; read the text of his “reasons for Puritan migration” (printout to be provided) and analyze it using the Cornell two column note system. 25 points classwork grade.

  24. John Winthrop; Reasons for Puritan Migration to the New World, 1629 Reasons for Puritan migration 1. It will be a service to the Church of great consequence to carry the Gospel into those parts of the world...& to raise a Bulwark against the kingdom of AnteChrist w[hi]ch the Jesuits labour to reare up in those parts. 2. All other churches of Europe are brought to desolation, & o[u]r sins, for w[hi]ch the Lord begins already to frown upon us & to cut us short, do threaten evil times to be coming upon us, & who knows, but that God hath provided this place to be a refuge for many whom he means to save out of the general calamity, & seeing the Church hath no place left to fly into but the wilderness, what better work can there be, then to go & provide tabernacles & food for her against she comes thither: 3. This Land grows weary of her Inhabitants, so as man, who is the most precious of all creatures, is here more vile & base then the earth we tread upon, & of less price among us then an horse or a sheep: masters are forced by authority to entertain servants, parents to maintain there own children, all towns complain of the burthen of their poore, though we have taken up many unnecessary yea unlawful trades to maintain them, & we use the authority of the Law to hinder the increase of o[u]r people.... 4. The whole earth is the Lords garden & he hath given it to the Sons of men w[i]th a gen[era]l Commission: Gen: 1:28: increase & multiply, & replenish the earth & subdue it,...why then should we stand striving here for places of habitation...& in the meane time suffer a whole Continent as fruitful & convenient for the use of man to lie waste w[i]thout any improvement? 5...all arts & Trades are carried in that deceitful & unrighteous course, as it is almost impossible for a good & upright man to maintain his charge & live comfortably in any of them. 6. The fountaine of Learning & Religion are so corrupted as...most children (even the best wittes & of fairest hopes) are perverted, corrupted, & utterly overthrown by the multitude of evil examples.... R.C. Winthrop, Life and Letters of John Winthrop (Boston, 1864), I, 309-311
