Colonization and Revolutionary War: Roanoke the Lost Colony Colonization and Revolutionary War: Roanoke The Lost Colony Colonization and Revolutionary War: Roanoke The Lost Colony by ReadWorks map from Chesapeake Bay to Cape Lookout by John White During the 1580s, the English made several unsuccessful attempts to establish a colony in America. Then, in July 1587, a group of English men and women landed on Roanoke Island off the coast of what is now North Carolina. Their leader was John White. Later that year, White sailed back to England for supplies. But John White was delayed in England. He could not return until 1590. He came back with five ships and more English men and women who wanted to live in the colony. By the time John White's ships returned, the colony had vanished. All of the houses were taken down. The settlers left no trace of their whereabouts -except for one small clue. The word "CROATOAN" was carved into a post of the fort. John White walked around the ruins, ReadWorks.org · © 2012 ReadWorks®, Inc. All rights reserved. Colonization and Revolutionary War: Roanoke The Lost Colony trying to figure it all out. Before he left for England, his daughter had given birth to a baby named Virginia - the first European baby in the New World. What had happened to his daughter and grandchild? He walked pensively along the shore. Before he left he had buried some personal items in a chest in the dirt. Someone had found the chest and taken all of its contents. John White noticed that the colonists' little boats, once used for fishing and exploring, were also gone. What could Croatoan possibly mean? Croatoan was a nearby island with its own group of Native Americans. What could have happened? Even today, no one knows the answers to these questions. The colony was abandoned and no more English settlers arrived until 1607, when Jamestown was established. ReadWorks.org · © 2012 ReadWorks®, Inc. All rights reserved.

The introductory paper to this special issue of Climatic Change sununarizes the results of an array of studies dealing with the reconstruction of climatic trends and anomalies in sixteenth­ century Europe and their impact on the natural and the social world. Areas discussed include glacier expansion in the Alps, the frequency of natural hazards (floods in central and southem Europe and stonns on the Dutch North Sea coast), the impact of climate deterioration on grain prices and wine production, and finally, witch-hlllltS. The documentary data used for the reconstruction of seasonal and annual precipitation and temperatures in central Europe (Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic) include narrative sources, several types of proxy data and 32 weather diaries. Results were compared with long-tenn composite tree ring series and tested statistically by cross-correlating series of indices based OIl documentary data from the sixteenth century with those of simulated indices based on instrumental series (1901-1960). It was shown that series of indices can be taken as good substitutes for instrumental measurements. A corresponding set of weighted seasonal and annual series of temperature and precipitation indices for central Europe was computed from series of temperature and precipitation indices for Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic, the weights being in proportion to the area of each country. The series of central European indices were then used to assess temperature and precipitation anomalies for the 1901-1960 period using trmlsfer functions obtained from instrumental records.

  • Spring 2020 Course Syllabus LDST 340 Late Medieval and Early Modern Leadership: the Tudor Dynasty Peter Iver Kaufman [email protected]; 289-8003
    Spring 2020 Course Syllabus LDST 340 Late Medieval and Early Modern Leadership: The Tudor Dynasty Peter Iver Kaufman [email protected]; 289-8003 -- I’m tempted to say that this course will bring you as close as GAME OF THRONES to political reality yet far removed from the concerns that animate and assignments that crowd around your other courses. We’ll spend the first several weeks sifting what’s been said by and about figures who played large parts in establishing the Tudor dynasty from 1485. You received my earlier emails and know that you’re responsible for starting what’s been described as a particularly venomous account of the reign of the first Tudor monarch, King Henry VII (1485 -1509). We’ll discuss your impressions during the first class. You’ll find the schedule for other discussions below. We meet once each week. Instructor’s presentations, breakout group conversations, film clips, plenary discussions, and conferences about term papers should make the time pass somewhat quickly and productively. Your lively, informed participation will make this class a success. I count on it, and your final grades will reflect it (or your absences and failure to prepare thoughtful and coherent responses to the assignments). Final grades will be computed on the basis of your performances on the two short papers (800 words) that you elect to submit. Papers will be submitted by 10 AM on the day of the class in which the topics are scheduled to be discussed. For each paper, you can earn up to ten points (10% of your final grade).

  • Early Colonial Life
    Early Colonial Life The 16th century was the age of mercantilism, an extremely competitive economic philosophy that pushed European nations to acquire as many colonies as they could. As a result, for the most part, the English colonies in North America were business ventures. They provided an outlet for England’s surplus population and more religious freedom than England did, but their primary purpose was to make money for their sponsors. The first English settlement in North America was established in 1587, when a group of colonists (91 men, 17 women and nine children) led by Sir Walter Raleigh settled on the island of Roanoke. Mysteriously, the Roanoke colony had vanished entirely. Historians still do not know what became of its inhabitants. In 1606, King James I divided the Atlantic seaboard in two, giving the southern half to the Virginia Company and the northern half to the Plymouth Company. In 1606, just a few months after James I issued its charter, the London Company sent 144 men to Virginia on three ships: the Godspeed, the Discovery and the Susan Constant. They reached the Chesapeake Bay in the spring of 1607 and headed about 60 miles up the James River, where they built a settlement they called Jamestown. The Jamestown colonists had a rough time of it: They were so busy looking for gold and other exportable resources that they could barely feed themselves. It was not until 1616, when Virginia’s settlers learned to grow tobacco and John Smith’s leadership helped the colony survive. The first African slaves arrived in Virginia in 1619.

  • The Frontiersman from Lout to Hero Notes on the Significance Ofthe Comparative Method and the Stage Theory in Early American Literature and Cidture
    The Frontiersman from Lout to Hero Notes on the Significance ofthe Comparative Method and the Stage Theory in Early American Literature and Cidture J. A. LEO LEMAY XHROUGHOUTTHE seventeenth and most of the eighteenth centuries, the frontiersman was generally regarded as a shift- less outcast, a lout tending to criminality, a villain too lazy or too stupid or too vulgar to exist in society, and a traitor to the culture.1 Long before the concept ofthe frontiersman existed, men who adopted Indian customs were regarded with suspi- cion and fear by their white contemporaries. In Virginia in 1612, Sir Thomas Dale punished those who 'did Runne Away unto the Indjans' in 'A moste severe mannor.' 'Some he apointed to be hanged Some burned Some to be broken upon This paper in a slightly different form was read at the annual meeting ofthe American Antiquarian Society on October 19, 1977. • The only previous work I know that deals specifically with 'the emergence ofthe frontiersman as a heroic figure' is Jules Zanger, 'The Frontiersman in Popular Fiction, 1820-60,' in John F. McDermott, ed.. The Frontier Re-examined (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1967), pp. 141-53, where Zanger claims the heroic frontiersman emerged in response to ( 1 ) the popularity of Sir Walter Scott's Waverley novels; (2) 'the public acclaim won by Jackson's Kentucky rifleman at New Orleans'; (3) the pop- ular images of Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett; and (4) the character of Natty Bumppo in Cooper's Leatherstocking series of novels. All these influences, with the exception of the early fame of Daniel Boone, are later than eighteenth-century, the primary period that I am considering.

  • Commonlit | Settling a New World: the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island
    Name: Class: Settling a New World: The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island By National Park Service 2016 The Fort Raleigh National Historic Site is dedicated to the preservation of England’s first New World settlements, as well as the cultural legacy of Native Americans, European Americans, and African Americans who lived on Roanoke Island. In 1585 and 1587, England tried its hand at establishing a colonial presence in North America under the leadership of Sir Walter Raleigh. The attempts were failures on both accounts but they would come to form one of the most puzzling mysteries in early American history: the disappearance of the Roanoke colony. As you read, take notes on what circumstances or mistakes might have put the English settlers at a disadvantage in creating a lasting colony. [1] "About the place many of my things spoiled and broken, and my books torn from the covers, the frames of some of my pictures and maps rotted and spoiled with rain, and my armor almost eaten through with rust." - John White1 on the lost colony of Roanoke Island 1584 Voyage In the late sixteenth-century, England’s primary goal in North America was to disrupt Spanish "John White discovers the word "CROATOAN" carved at Roanoke's shipping.
