In my fourth grade class in "Henricus" territory, we grew a tobacco plant. Our teacher wanted to stress the importance of that plant to the early colonial Virginia economy.

Hehe I know .... Must be great for you.... Spreading slavery and such and then 200 years later, after a revolution and an additional war the south, particularly the White southern male of any financial means still gets the whole of the worlds blame for slaves, at least within these 50 states

Visited one of these settlements many years ago. REALLY PAID OFF. I was wandering around a post abd beam house and there were Roman numerals carved on the structure. Asked a docent and he told me they built the structures in England, numbered the beams, disassembled it, brought the pieces over and rebuilt them using the numbered beams. Now when I build raised beds, arbors, etc. instead of rushing and dealing with the weather, I build it in my basement, number the pieces, disassemble it, paint it and rebuild it in a matter of a few hours outside. Thanks to these colonists!

Most Indian Nations were in what we would call today "a constant state of war" with one another, and the Europeans were viewed initially as merely complicating the equation.

I just watched a documentary on the lives of common people in England in the 17th Century. For the common man,there was no upper mobility. There was no vote for you. The rich made the laws. There were 200 laws on the books that prescribed hanging for commoners. I didnt realise how bad it was for my people back then. It puts new perspective on my 5th great grand father. He left Wales and landed in Baltimore Marylan in 1752. That took some guts,or maybe desperation

Research seems to indicate that the early English settlers of Virginia certainly compared to those of New England were much given to heavy drinking and loose living....thus had low life expectancy.

This is part of a series is it not? I seem to remember this or something very similar years ago as well as several other "episodes" for lack of a better term. Extremely entertaining, reminds me of some Historical Society and park films I used to get to help make, years ago now though, but still not that long ago... Too bad this sort of thing is not PC anymore.... Gotta have a boogyman

The arrival of soldiers, farmers and craftsmen were key to the success of settlement. The gentlemen who came to Jamestown were unfortunate because they did not have the skills or mindset to survive in a challenging environment. At what point did female settlers from England arrive? Did families come over in the beginning to Virginia? How much contact after 1624 did the Virginia colony have with rhe Massachusetts colony?

I live in New England. Thank God our English forbears conquered this vast wilderness and carved out civilisation for their posterity. We may be Americans, but we are still the children of our English Mother Country; our very language is a testament to this. As are so many of the names of our counties, towns, cities, highways and byways. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙏 I would recommend a fantastic book by one Kevin Phillips, “The Cousins’ Wars: Religion, Politics, Civil Warfare, And The Triumph Of Anglo-America”. It is a brilliant masterwork outlining the common kinship shared by the anglophone nations, namely the US and UK (I wish he had detailed Australia more but Canada is included). It takes our peoples’ three most important conflicts; the English Civil War, American Revolution, and American Civil War, and examines the broad range of parallels as well as the ethnic, religious, and political alliances that formed and ultimately led to the geopolitical path we now know. One very important theme to which Philips gives careful attention is the indisputable fact of the American Revolution being a civil war; America’s first. This is something more people in all the Anglosphere countries should be taught, especially here in the US. Catholic historian Charles Coulombe also highlights this fascinating subject in many of his own lectures and writings, many of which you can find here on KZfaq. I highly recommend his stuff if you are interested in this very specialised topic.

I thought the original pilgrims were religious fanatics who were basically kicked out of England/Europe?

@Bluemoonofky 7 ай бұрын

They were religious fanatics. Called separatists, for their "separation" from The Church of England, whom they believed to be too close to the evil ( in their minds) Catholic Church. They did not, however, get kicked out of England, or Europe, but instead they themselves, got together with some sponsors and sailed to this foreign land. They had moved to a more religiously tolerable Holland, and lived there instead of England for a few years, but then they claimed to even be religiously suppressed there, so they moved to the "New World"

The Indians were barely able to survive themselves much of the time as hunter-gatherers. The Colonials looked at how few people the land supported in that manner, whereas good agricultural practices would support thousands of people where perhaps a few hundreds had been living. You really distort the issue of land-management. Many millions of Europeans were living off the same amount of land that the Cherokee Nation (40k people) had, sweeping down from NC to MS and including most of TN. This was seen to be palpably grotesque.
