Khurram Moosani 3rd period Pre-AP History

Many colonies failed, including one of the earliest colonies. Sir Walter Raleigh sponsored the first colony at Roanoke after receiving the charter from Queen Elizabeth. The colony began in 1585 on Roanoke Island. The colonists relied on the Native Americans for food, but the Natives realized that the settlers wanted their land. They cut off the colonists’ food supply, settlers that survived returned back to England in 1856. After a second colony failed the English wanted to go back and try again. They learned from Raleigh’s financial loss and thought of ways to pay for the to finance a new colony. To raise money they turned to the joint-stock company. Joint-stock companies were backed by investors, each investor received pieces of ownership of the company called the shares of stock (some what like the Stock Market of today). This way, the investors split any profits and divided any losses. In 1607 London financed an expedition to Chesapeake Bay that had more than 100 colonists. They sailed up the James River until they found a spot to settle, they named this land Jamestown in honor of King James. Jamestown became the first permanent English colony. In 1608 only 38 colonists were alive in Jamestown, a man by the name John Smith to charge. Nothing was being done in the town so Smith told everyone “He that will not work shall not eat.” His idea worked. He ordered an existing wall extended around Jamestown. He also persuaded the Powhtan tribe to trade their corn to the colonists. In 1609 Smith got injured and had to be sent back to England to be cared for, in that same year over 800 colonists arrived in James town. Lots of laborers were needed after Tobacco became a hit in England, those who couldn’t afford to come to America were encouraged to become indentured servants. Indentured servants sold their labor to the person who paid for their passage to the colony. After working for years, they were free to farm or take up a trade of their own. Colonists became very annoyed with a rule that wouldn’t allow them to have much local control. To get more local control the company decided that burgesses, or elected representatives, of the colonists would meet once a year in a meeting. The House of Burgesses, created in 1619, became the first representative assembly in the American in the American colonies. In 1876 a man by the name Nathaniel Bacon and a group of poor settlers opposed Governor Berkeley. They complained that taxes were too high and the Governors favoritism over large pant owners. Bacon demanded that Berkeley approve a war against the Natives to seize the land for Tobacco plantations. The Governor refused and that sparked Bacon’s Rebellion.
