  • 1 What Factors Brought Settlers to Maryland?
    Educational materials were developed through the Making Master Teachers in Howard County Program, a partnership between Howard County Public School System and the Center for History Education at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Resource Sheet #01 What Factors Brought Settlers to Maryland? Student Background Essay Cecil Calvert, the second Lord of Baltimore, founded the colony of Maryland in 1634. Calvert hoped that Maryland could be a colony where persecuted English Catholics could come to practice their religion and do business freely. Eventually, Maryland’s reputation as a tolerant haven that was good for business attracted settlers to the colony. As the population and economic opportunities in Maryland grew, it became necessary to increase immigration. There are three main factors that brought settlers to the colony of Maryland. The first factor that brought settlers to Maryland was for religious freedom. The second factor was for profit from business. The third reason that helped to populate the colony was forced migration. In the late sixteenth century, the Chesapeake Bay Region was inhabited by a variety of advanced Native American cultures. The Native American’s thrived by using the great natural resources of the area to fish and farm. When Europeans began to explore the region during this time period, they also realized the great potential of the Chesapeake Bay. England in the late 1500s was competing for power with other European nations. The British were interested in expanding their country into a global empire. The east coast of North America provided them with an opportunity to expand their economic and political influence.

  • The British Empire in the Atlantic: Nova Scotia, the Board of Trade, and the Evolution of Imperial Rule in the Mid-Eighteenth Century
    The British Empire in the Atlantic: Nova Scotia, the Board of Trade, and the Evolution of Imperial Rule in the Mid-Eighteenth Century by Thomas Hully Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the MA degree in History University of Ottawa © Thomas Hully, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 ii Abstract The British Empire in the Atlantic: Nova Scotia, the Board of Trade, and the Evolution of Imperial Rule in the Mid-Eighteenth Century Thomas Hully Dr. Richard Connors Submitted: May 2012 Despite considerable research on the British North American colonies and their political relationship with Britain before 1776, little is known about the administration of Nova Scotia from the perspective of Lord Halifax’s Board of Trade in London. The image that emerges from the literature is that Nova Scotia was of marginal importance to British officials, who neglected its administration. This study reintegrates Nova Scotia into the British Imperial historiography through the study of the “official mind,” to challenge this theory of neglect on three fronts: 1) civil government in Nova Scotia became an important issue during the War of the Austrian Succession; 2) The form of civil government created there after 1749 was an experiment in centralized colonial administration; 3) This experimental model of government was highly effective. This study adds nuance to our understanding of British attempts to centralize control over their overseas colonies before the American Revolution. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank the Ontario Graduate Scholarship Program for providing the funding which made this dissertation possible, as well as the University of Ottawa’s Department of History for providing me with the experience of three Teaching Assistantships.

  • An Early Edict on Slavery in English America: the Barbados Resolution of 1636 and the Island’S Slave Laws
    22 The Journal of the Barbados Museum & Historical Society − Vol. LXV An Early Edict on Slavery in English America: The Barbados Resolution of 1636 and the Island’s Slave Laws Jerome S. Handler Abstract A resolution on slavery by the Barbados Governor and Council in 1636 has been widely cited and quoted by writers on Anglo American slavery and Barbados history from the early 19th century until the present. Writers have universally accepted either explicitly or implicitly that the Resolution was the earliest slave law and was foundational in legitimizing slavery in Anglo America. No writer has attempted to explain why the Resolution was adopted or has questioned or challenged its role in the history of slave law in Barbados or Anglo America. Introduction n their 1972 social history of the early English West Indies, American colonial historians Carl and Roberta Bridenbaugh quote a 1636 Barbados Council resolution they identify as ‘the Iearliest law governing slavery in the English Dominions.’ The ‘law,’ discussed further below, specified ‘that Negroes and Indians, that came here to be sold, should serve for life, unless a contract was before made to the contrary.’ The Bridenbaughs’ observation was reiterated about two decades later by the legal historian William Wiecek in a comparative study of the origins of slave law in British An Early Edict on Slavery in English America 23 North America. Also citing the 1636 Resolution, Wiecek writes, by ‘linking the two fundamental characteristics of American slavery: race and perpetuity,’ Barbados ‘pioneered development of a statutory law of slavery’ in Britain’s New World colonies; and, more recently, for the historian Betty Wood, this law was also ‘the earliest pronouncement anywhere in English America legitimizing slavery and linking it specifically to ethnicity.

  • Chapter 4: the Colonies Grow, 1607-1770
    The Colonies Grow 1607–1770 Why It Matters Independence was a spirit that became evident early in the history of the American people. The spirit of independence contributed to the birth of a new nation, one with a new government and a culture that was distinct from those of other countries. The Impact Today Americans continue to value independence. For example: • The right to practice one’s own religion freely is safeguarded. • Americans value the right to express themselves freely and to make their own laws.

Box 934 Cedar Park, Texas 78630-0934 [email protected] Le Grand Dérangement Acadians Settle Louisiana "Acadia" or “Acadie” was an early term for the maritime provinces of eastern Canada and the northern coastal region of what is now the state of Maine in the United States. It was first established as a proprietary colony by Pierre Duguay, Sieur de Monts. One year earlier he had acquired a decade-long monopoly over the region's rich fur and fish assets. Initially, the colonization of the area was a near- disaster. In 1605, in a second attempt to colonize, de Monts transferred the colony to present-day Port Royal, Nova Scotia; it became the first permanent settlement in Acadie. By 1610 the colony consisted of only 25 men, but the foundations of a permanent settlement were laid. Presaging the Louisiana experience, stability came only when crops were harvested and land had been parceled out among the settlers. But as Carl Brasseux documents in his landmark The Founding of New Acadia, the French hold on Acadie was still tenuous at best.

  • The Chesapeake Bay: Colonies of Different Pasts, One Future
    THE CHESAPEAKE BAY: COLONIES OF DIFFERENT PASTS, ONE FUTURE By Emily Longenecker The first British settlements in North America were in the Chesapeake Bay region, which was of great economic significance to Britain in the colonial period. Present-day Maryland and Virginia surround Chesapeake Bay. This region was a good place to begin colonizing because the Bay is one of America's largest estuaries, and once had a coastline of over 3,000 miles. Being deep, it was always navigable by those settling and trading there. The Bay is also the outlet for many long rivers, some of which extend 150 miles inland. Roanoke colony was established in 1585 by a special grant from Queen Elizabeth I, the first British colony in America. It was settled in what is now North Carolina, but the entire Atlantic seaboard was called Virginia. This colony mysteriously disappeared within a year, and it would be 22 years before another British settlement would be established in America. This new settlement was Jamestown, Virginia, on Chesapeake Bay. The Virginia Company, a joint- stock company, established it for profit. The first years were the hardest for the settlers. Half the population died during the first winter. The British settlers were ill equipped for the needed work. They neglected to grow enough food because they wanted to use the land to grow tobacco, which was the main export of the colony. ' The importance of tobacco to the colony played a large part in the development of the colonies' subsequent towns and its government. Towns were not centers of commerce or places for living; they were mostly just a place to house the government.

  • Massachusetts Bay Colony
    Massachusetts Bay Colony (Edited from Wikipedia) The Massachusetts Bay Colony was an English settlement on the east coast of North America (Massachusetts Bay) in the 17th century. The settlement was located in New England, situated around the present-day cities of Salem and Boston. The territory administered by the colony included much of present-day central New England, including portions of the U.S. states of Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Territory claimed but never administered by the colonial government extended as far west as the Pacific Ocean. The colony was founded by the owners of the Massachusetts Bay Company, which included investors in the failed Dorchester Company, which had in 1623 established a short-lived settlement on Cape Ann. The Massachusetts Bay Colony, begun in 1628, was the company's second attempt at colonization. The colony was successful, with about 20,000 people migrating to New England in the 1630s. The population was strongly Puritan, and its governance was dominated by a small group of leaders who were strongly influenced by Puritan religious leaders. Although its governors were elected, the electorate were limited to freemen, who had been examined for their religious views and formally admitted to the local church. As a consequence, the colonial leadership exhibited intolerance to other religious views, including Anglican, Quaker, and Baptist theologies. Although the colonists initially had decent relationships with the local native populations, frictions arose over cultural differences, which were further exacerbated by Dutch colonial expansion. These led first to the Pequot War (1636–1638), and then to King Philip's War (1675–1678), after which most of the natives in southern New England had been pacified, killed, or driven away.

  • The Thirteen English Colonies
    The Thirteen English Colonies Chapter 3/4 Name: _____________________ Period: __________ Social Studies 7 Chapter 3/4: The 13 English Colonies (1630-1750) Theme: The thirteen English colonies were founded between 1607 and 1733. The colonists of these different colonies hoped to find different things in the “New World.” Some sought economic opportunities while others left England for political or religious reasons. Regardless, the new English colonies grew rapidly. The colonies can be broken up into three different geographic regions: the New England colonies, the Middle colonies, and the Southern colonies. Each region developed its own economy, form of government, and society. Objectives: At the end of this unit, students will be able to: • Describe and compare colonial objectives of European nations and the methods they used to achieve those goals. • Explain the geographic factors that helped shape where colonists settled and the economies that developed. • Identify and evaluate the factors that led to the early successes of failures of English colonization. • Explain the religious, economic, and political reasons that motivated people to resettle in North America. • Compare the geographic, political, religious, and social characteristics of the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies. • Identify, explain, and criticize the factors that led to the development of eighteenth-century American slavery; examine the experiences of slaves in eighteenth-century North America. • Identify and explain the events that led to the development of democracy in the English colonies; explain the significance of the House of Burgesses and the Mayflower Compact; summarize the essential ideas of the Mayflower Compact. • Read, examine, and interpret charts and maps related to the period.
