1 Social Studies 7 Civics Ch 2.2 : Settlement, Culture, and Government of the Colonies PP

2 I. Settling the English Colonies (pp )

3 Settling the English Colonies A. Most of the colonists that settled the American colonies came from, England however, some came from, Scotland, Ireland and. Wales

4 Settling the English Colonies B. Not all colonies found along the Atlantic coast came from. England Settlers from The Netherlands founded what would be New York and settlers from Sweden founded the colonies of New Jersey and. Delaware

5 Economic Opportunity

6 Economic Opportunity C. One of the biggest reasons for settlers making the trip to America was the chance to earn a. living America offered land for farming and other jobs too.

7 Economic Opportunity D. Those who were too poor to pay for their own trip came as. indentured servants Wealthy colonists paid for these people to come to America and agreed to provide them food and shelter in exchange for work. After four to seven years the debt was forgiven.

8 Religious Freedom

9 Religious Freedom E. At the time of colonization, there was severe religious unrest in Europe, and this was particularly true in. England Because of this, many fled the country to come to the colonies where they were free to worship however they saw fit.

10 Religious Freedom Puritans F. The founded the Massachusetts colony for this very reason. Their name comes from the idea that they wanted to reform, or Purify the church in England.

11 Religious Freedom G. Also known as the, Pilgrims they originally founded the Plymouth colony. However, later, another group of Pilgrims founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

12 Religious Freedom H. Oddly, the group was hypocritical in their beliefs, in that they wanted to be free to worship how they wanted, yet if people in their colonies did not worship the way the Pilgrims did, they would be forced to leave the colony.

13 Religious Freedom I. Colonists who were forced to leave went on to form the colonies of Rhode Island and. Connecticut Those who lived in Rhode Island were known for the freedoms they enjoyed, while Connecticut would go on to write the first known constitution outlining how the government would operate and how laws would be made.

14 II. Colonial Life (pp )

15 ` A. By, 1733 England had 13 North American colonies. The geography of each these differed greatly, and the economy of each was heavily depended on its. geography As time went by, three distinct economic regions were set.

16 The New England Colonies

17 THE NEW ENGLAND COLONIES These were the farthest. north

18 They included:

19 MASSACHUSETTS BAY COLONY

20 NEW HAMPSHIRE COLONY

21 RHODE ISLAND COLONY

22 CONNECTICUT COLONY

23 THE NEW ENGLAND COLONIES Most people lived in, towns where farming was impossible due to very rocky soil. Therefor most farms were located near towns where farmers would live and then leave to go work their fields.

24 THE NEW ENGLAND COLONIES Due to the Puritan lifestyle, hardwork and thrift were encouraged. Many worked as shopkeepers in small businesses. Others made a living by building ships (boats) or. fishing

25 THE NEW ENGLAND COLONIES The region s forests provided wood for. boats

26 THE NEW ENGLAND COLONIES Fur-bearing animals were another important natural resource. Colonists hunted and trapped these animals.

27 THE NEW ENGLAND COLONIES They then traded with Native Americans for furs, which would then be shipped to Europe, were made into coats and hats.

28 The Middle Colonies

29 THE MIDDLE COLONIES These were just south of New England

30 They included:

31 NEW YORK COLONY

32 PENNSYLVANIA COLONY

33 NEW JERSEY COLONY

34 DELAWARE COLONY

35 THE MIDDLE COLONIES The climate and soil in this region were better for agriculture. Farmers raised wheat and other, cash crops which were grown in large quantities to be sold rather than to be used by the farmer s family.

36 THE MIDDLE COLONIES Cash crops were often sold. overseas This trade helped turn New York and Philadephia into busy port cities.

37 THE MIDDLE COLONIES Many of the businesses, as well as the region s farms, were wned by hardworking colonists from, Germany, Holland, and other European countries.

38 THE MIDDLE COLONIES The Middle Colonies were also rich in natural resources., mines Sawmills ironworks,, and other businesses grew in the region. he colonists here depended upon such resources as, metals lumber, and natural fibers.

39 The Southern Colonies

40 The Southern Colonies These were the colonies that were the farthest. south

41 They included:

42 MARYLAND COLONY

43 VIRGINIA COLONY

44 NORTH & SOUTH CAROLINA COLONIES

45 GEORGIA COLONY

46 The Southern Colonies warm, climate a long growing season, and rich soil made largescale agriculture successful in this region.

47 The Southern Colonies Tobacco became the main cash crop in some of these colonies. In others it was. rice Both crops grew best on the low, flat coastal plains of the region.

48 The Southern Colonies plantations Large farms called developed on the coastal plains. Many workers were needed to plant, tend, nd harvest the large fields of crops. At indentured servants rst, did much of this work. Over time, however, plantation owners came to depend on slaves the labor of from Africa

49 The Southern Colonies Further inland, operated primarily to feed the family farms of the farmer. While these outnumbered small farms the lantations, the plantation owners held power great.

50 The Southern Colonies As a result, they were able to sway the decisions of the representative assemblies They also controlled the region s economy. Due in part to the influence of plantation owners, few arge towns industry and little developed in the Southern Colonies.

51 III. Colonial Governments (pp )

52 Colonial Government A. The colonies developed different economies and ways f life. But one thing they shared was their English heritage. Most colonists were loyal to England, and valued their rights as English subjects.

53 Colonial Government England Messages B. However, was far away. took weeks to arrive. Over the years, the colonists began to depend on their own governments and their elected legislatures for leadership. They began to see themselves as Americans rather than English subjects.

54 Governing the Colonies C. When the colonies were first founded, England s government paid little attention to them. One reason was political unrest in England.

55 Governing the Colonies Parliament. Members of were in a power struggle with the king. Nevertheless, English leaders always believed that the main purpose of the benefit colonies was to England. Therefore, in the 1650s Parliament began passing laws to the colonies trade. regulate

56 Governing the Colonies E. Most colonies eventually had a governor king who had been appointed by the. The royal governor took orders from the English king and arliament. He enforced England s laws in his colony. But local laws were usually passed by the colony s elected assembly.

57 Colonial Government. As time passed, the colonists elected assemblies grew strong. Assemblies and governors sometimes for control of the colonies. The assemblies had the power to and to decide how the would be spent. They used these powers to weaken money fought tax the royal governors.

58 Colonial Government 1700s governing. By the mid, the colonies had become used to themselves hrough their elected legislatures. Colonists John Locke serve knew of the writings of. He aid that governments existed to the people. Many colonists felt that their interests governor put British ahead of their own. They began to resent the fact rights Great Britain that they had fewer than people living in.
