  • PERIOD: ___Jamestown and Tobac
    NAME: _______________________________________________________ PERIOD: ____________ Jamestown and Tobacco In 1614, the new colony at Jamestown in what is now Virginia was a death camp of starving colonists with little hope of survival. John Rolfe had learned to smoke tobacco while in London and decided to take a shot at cultivating tobacco in Jamestown. Two years later, in June, 1616, Rolfe and other leaders of the colony arrived in London to discuss the newly successful crop. Despite King James I’s disapproval of the colony’s dependence on a crop he despised, the very survival of his namesake colony could be at stake. Tobacco became such a popular crop that a law had to be passed to force some food cultivation in the suddenly affluent colony. By 1619 Jamestown had exported 10 tons of tobacco to Europe and had left behind its dismal history of starvation, cannibalism and general debotchery. Tobacco can well be credited with making Jamestown the first permanent English colony in the New World.

He served as president of the colony during the “starving time” of 1609-1610 when more than 400 colonists died, leaving only sixty survivors. He wrote A True Relation in 1624, partly to justify his leadership during this period. _______________________________ George Percy f we truly consider the diversity of miseries, mutinies, and famishments which have attended upon discoveries and plantations in these our modern times, we shall not find our plantation in Virginia to Ihave suffered alone. Laudonnière had his share thereof in Florida, next neighbor unto Virginia, where his soldiers did fall into mutinies and in the end were almost all starved for want of food.1 The Spaniards’ plantation in the River of Plate and the Straits of Magellan suffered also in so much that having eaten up all their horses to sustain themselves withall, mutinies did arise and grow among them for the which the general Diego Mendoza caused some of them to be executed, extremity of hunger in forcing others secretly in the night to cut down their dead fellows from of the gallows and bury them in their hungry bowels.2 The plantation in Cartagena was also lamentable, that want of wholesome food wherewith for to maintain life were enforced to eat toads, snakes, and such like venomous worms, such is the sharpness of hunger.3 To this purpose many other examples might be recited but the relation itself being brief I have no intent to be tedious but to deliver the truth briefly and plainly .

  • Living with the Indians Introduction
    LIVING WITH THE INDIANS Introduction Archaeologists believe the American Indians were the first people to arrive in North America, perhaps having migrated from Asia more than 16,000 years ago. During this Paleo time period, these Indians rapidly spread throughout America and were the first people to live in Virginia. During the Woodland period, which began around 1200 B.C., Indian culture reached its high- est level of complexity. By the late 16th century, Indian people in Coastal Plain Virginia, united under the leadership of Wahunsonacock, had organized themselves into approximately 32 tribes. Wahunsonacock was the paramount or supreme chief, having held the title “Powhatan.” Not a personal name, the Powhatan title was used by English settlers to identify both the leader of the tribes and the people of the paramount chiefdom he ruled. Although the Powhatan people lived in separate towns and tribes, each led by its own chief, their language, social structure, religious beliefs and cultural traditions were shared. By the time the first English settlers set foot in “Tsena- commacah, or “densely inhabited land,” the Powhatan Indians had developed a complex culture with a centralized political system. Living With the Indians is a story of the Powhatan people who lived in early 17th-century Virginia— their social, political, economic structures and everyday life ways. It is the story of individuals, cultural interactions, events and consequences that frequently challenged the survival of the Pow- hatan people. It is the story of how a unique culture, through strong kinship networks and tradition, has endured and maintained tribal identities in Virginia right up to the present day.

THE 1622 POWHATAN UPRISING AND ITS IMPACT ON ANGLO-INDIAN RELATIONS Michael J. Kramer 112 Pages On March 22, 1622, Native Americans under the Powhatan war-leader Opechancanough launched surprise attacks on English settlements in Virginia. The attacks wiped out between one-quarter and one-third of the colony’s European population and hastened the collapse of the Virginia Company of London, a joint stock company to which England’s King James I had granted the right to establish settlements in the New World. Most significantly, the 1622 Powhatan attacks in Virginia marked a critical turning point in Anglo-Indian relations. Following the famous 1614 marriage of the Native American Pocahontas to Virginia colonist John Rolfe and her conversion to Christianity, English colonists in North America and English policymakers in Europe entertained considerable optimism that other Native Americans could be persuaded to embrace both English culture and the Christian faith.

Nov/Dec98, Vol. 72, Issue 11/12 Database: Academic Search Premier Section: HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS THE" STARVING TIME’ Tree rings reveal that severe drought may have caused widespread famine among early tidewater colonies. RESEARCHERS WORKING with evidence from ancient tree dngs have begun to unravel two of the most intriguing mysteries in Amedcan history--the cause for near annihilation of the 17thcentury Jamestown colonyin Virginia and the disappearance of N~orth Carolina’s "Lost Colony" on Roanoke Island 20 years earlier. "if the English had tried to find a worse time to launch their settlements in the New World, they could not have done so, says Dennis Blanton, director of the Center for Archaeological Research at the College of William and Mary. "From 1587 to 1589, the most extreme drought in 800 years is implicated in the dis&ppearance of the Lost Colony, and the Jamestown settlement was later plagued by the driest seven- -year episode in 770 years." The five-year Jamestown Archaeology Assessment project began as a cooperative partnership of the National Park Service, the College of William and Ma~y, and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. A small aspect of the project, which used less than 10 percent of the project’s total funds, examined the growth patterns of 1,000-year-old baldcypress trees in the tidewater swamp regions along the Virginia- North Carolina border.

    USHistoryAtlas.com Primary Sources Jamestown’s Starving Time Date # August 1609 to June 1610 Place # Jamestown, Virginia Type of Source # Eyewitness (official letter) Author # George Percy, Governor of Virginia Context # George Percy served as governor of Virginia from 1609–1610 and briefly in 1611 through its worst period. By 1608 many of the original settlers had died from disease and Indian attacks. The arrival of new settlers only worsened relations with the Powhatan Indians, who in 1609 closed off Jamestown in an effort to starve the settlers. The colonists called this period “the starving time.” In a letter to his older brother, Lord Henry Percy (in prison on suspicion of treason), George Percy described the conditions in Jamestown during this period.

  • The First Successful English Colony of Jamestown
    Name: _________________________________________ Date: _________________ The First Successful English Colony of Jamestown In 1606, England was ruled by King James I. The English people did not choose him as their leader because England was a monarchy (a type of government with a king or queen, where the ruler’s power is handed down to them). During this time, King James I gave a group of wealthy men, called the London Company, permission to start a colony in North America. The group sent 105 men to settle in Virginia. They hoped a colony would make them richer. The settlers arrived in Virginia in May 1607, hoping to find gold. They chose a place near a river, where the deep water allowed them to anchor their ships close by. The site was upriver from Chesapeake Bay, but far enough from the river that it would be difficult for Spanish ships to attack. Located on a peninsula, the town was easy to defend by land. The group built a settlement surrounded by the walls of a fort and named it Jamestown in honor of King James I. Unfortunately, the settlers built Jamestown on a marsh. The water around the town was dirty and salty and the land was bad for farming. Worse still, mosquitoes in the marsh carried a deadly disease called malaria. By the end of 1607, disease and other challenges had killed many of the settlers. In late 1607, some American Indians captured a Jamestown settler named Captain John Smith. They took Smith to their chief, Powhatan (pronounced; pow- uh-TAN). According to the story Smith later told, the chief was about to kill him when Powhatan’s young daughter, Pocahontas, saved his life.
