    In 1607 King James of England issued a royal charter to colonize America. They built a fort around the Chesapeake Bay and named it Jamestown in honor of their king. The region of the Chesapeake they were settling on was already home to over 20,000 Algonquian Indians. Their leader, Powhatan, immediately confronted the new English settlers asking them to establish an alliance. Powhatan believed that he could stat a valuable trade with the English and also help support them as they begin to settle. The Jamestown colony began to go down hill, they started to rely so much on the Algonquians for supply’s that they became unable to support themselves. Jamestown became so dependent on the Algonquian stores that John Smith and his men went out and attacked and raided other surrounding Indian villages for food and other supply’s. Powhatan realized that al the English came for was to invade and take their land, not to trade with them. So Powhatan decided to starve the colonists. During the winter 1609-1610 large amounts of colonists in the Jamestown settlement starved and a number of them resorted to cannibalism. Out of the 900 colonists that had been sent to Virginia to settle it, only 60 remained. The English however were determined to keep the colony going. The Virginia company sent more men, women, children, and livestock to the Jamestown colony. This time they were prepared to fight Powhatan and his tribe. Because the new colonists were prepared to fight and to help themselves with farming and trading they turned the colony’s failure to success. In 1613 the colonists had firm control over the areas between the James and York rivers. The Algonquin Indians were so rundown from all the warfare and disease, they became forced to sign a peace treaty with the English. The English now started to grow bigger and bigger. They introduced tobacco production. This became a very merchantable commodity. The English started out relying on the Indians to do everything for them, and they…

    In 1606, settlers of the Virginia Company of England embarked on an expedition to the New World, their goal being to found a settlement in the Virginia Colony. After a lengthy journey, the settlers came upon the mouth of the Chesapeake River, making landfall at Cape Henry. Their site would come to be known as Jamestown, widely regarded as the first permanent English settlement in America. However, the momentous task of establishing a society in a new and foreign land did not go without its fair share of tribulations. These settlers faced uncompromising challenges on the road to establishing stability and success, but their efforts produced both economic and social improvements that would eventually culminate to form one of England's most valued North American colonies.…

    During 1765 the British Parliament imposed stamp tariffs on the American colonies. When George Grenville tightened up the administration of the colonial customs service and revised the rates which was “to make them produce a revenue, he knew that he was only beginning, that the colonies could and should contribute more to the cost of their defense. During the summer of 1763 he had already begun to consider the possibility of a stamp tax”. When introducing the idea to Parliament, “he managed to put the colonies in a position where a Stamp Act would be results of their own failure” this was because they would feel guilty for not supporting their mother country in a time of despair. England intended to raise revenue by tariffs on trade with a…

The South had enormous cash crops of mostly tobacco and rice and not enough employees to work in it. Considering that slavery was cheap it was the answer for success for this southern businessmen. Northern colonies were less interested in gaining wealth than they were more concerned with creating a heaven for the practice of their religion. For this reason, exploiting agriculture was not a priority. In fact, salves work doing “soft duties” even as servants or housekeepers in family…

    The English strategy for colonies was to create a very tight knit group of people to survive in a place where it would take years for any help to come. They didn't even have anything to get back to England. They all voluntarily came there. They were supposed to treat each other with "kindness and patience" make America seem amazing in every way. Like it just made people nice and productive. That was supposed to make other people want to come there. That strategy was also supposed to make people want to be like the city on the hill. In other words they wanted people to be like the best city. That was just little bit so that the people sending the colonists would make money but it was also to make sure the colonies survived and were easy…

    Between the settlement at Jamestown in 1607 and the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the most important change that occurred in the colonies was the extension of British ideals far beyond the practice in England itself. The thirteen colonies throughout time all established themselves and soon developed their own identities. Colonies in different areas were known for different things and no one colony was like the other. These people began to see them selves as Carolinians or Georgians, Quakers or new Englanders. Most of these colonist's no longer saw themselves as being citizens of the mother country, but rather as citizens of their colonies. This is when the colonies began to receive their own identities and eventually start to become more and more Americanized. Changes in Religion, economics, Politics, and social structures illustrate this Americanization of the transplanted Europeans.…

    While the relationship between the colonies and Great Britain had often been rocky, the French & Indian War gave rise to new tensions between the two countries.

King George III & members of Parliament believed that the colonists were ungrateful so they decided to “disciple” the colonists; they wanted the colonists to pay for the tremendous debt from the war. Along with paying the war debt, King George III wanted control over all new land settlements.…
