English Settlements Economic English colonists settled along the Atlantic coast of North America for religious freedom and economic opportunity, the chance to make more money. Each region earned a profit for their colony in a different way based on their resources English Settlements Government The English had a tradition of legislative representation in Parliament, so they allowed their colonies to create colonial legislative branches. Governors of the colonies were appointed my the crown (king and queen) English Settlements Religion English settlers were mostly Protestants There were many religious groups such as the Puritans and Quakers who settled in the colonies in search of religious freedom The New England Colonies Environment New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut New England colonies had thick, rocky soil and a cold climate Natural Resource: fish, whales, forest New England Colonies Economics Because of the rocky soil and cold climates, colonists exported (send out) lumber and built ships to fish and whale hunt to support their economy. The New England Colonies Religion The Pilgrims and the Puritans went to New England to establish a model religious community. The meeting house was the center of religious activity and government in the colonies.

Southern Colonies Environment Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia Southern colonies had rich soil , warm climate, and plenty of rain Southern Colonies Economic Southern colonies developed an economy based on farming Grew tobacco, rice, and indigo – cash crops Tobacco was the most important cash crop to the colonies of Virginia and Maryland Southern Colonies Religion Southern colonies were a refuge (a safe place) for Catholics and Protestants. The southern colonies established churches in their communities Southern Colonies Lifestyle There were small farms, and plantations (large farms) in the Southern Colonies, where enslaved Africans worked for the plantation owners Plantations were owned by wealthy white men Southern Colonies Government The House of Burgesses met in 1619. It was Virginia’s first government. The men who owned land picked the members. Triangular Trade Triangular Trade Slaves were brought to North America through the triangular trade. The routes were taken between the British Colonies in North America, Europe, Africa, and the West Indies. Triangular Trade On one route, sugar was purchased in the West Indies and taken to New England to make rum. Rum was shipped to Africa in exchanged for slaves. Slaves were then taken to the West Indies and sold or exchanged for sugar cane. The sugar was taken back to New England to produce more rum, and the cycle continued. Triangular Trade On another route, cash crops from the English colonies were sold in Europe in exchange for manufactured goods that couldn’t be produced in the colonies. This is called mercantilism. The Middle Passage The slave’s journey on the ship between Africa and the British Colonies is known as the Middle Passage. Africans were kidnapped and marched to the coast of West Africa, to slave ships where they were traded or sold to the ship’s captain The Middle Passage The slaves endured inhumane (unbearable) conditions aboard the ships. The slave trade was to make a profit (money), so captains of slave ships tried to deliver the maximum number of slaves for minimum cost Africans received little food, or exercise while aboard the ship Many slaves did not survive the Middle Passage Slaves Arrive in North America Slaves were brought in from Africa mainly through the port of Charleston, SC These slaves had a deep impact on the economy and culture of the colonies Slavery in the Colonies As large farms and plantations were established in the colonies, the planters needed help planting and harvesting crops At first, the English attempted to enslave Native Americans, but Native Americans knew the land so well that they were able escape. Slavery in the Colonies Most enslaved Africans in the colonies were forced to work on large plantations. Slave owners could sell family members and break up families Impact of Slavery Africans brought their own culture, skills and languages Africans knew a lot about raising livestock (farm animals) and farming techniques Without African skills and labor, the economy of the Colonies would not have developed cash crops. Impact of Slavery Africans impacted the cooking styles of the colonies, because they prepared the meals for themselves and their owners Africans added vegetables to the owner’s diets, which their health Slave owners began to feel threatened by the population of slaves and decided to make slave codes to control the behavior of slaves in the colonies
