•
Over the winters, cold, starvation, disease, and war reduced the colony to only 60 people.

By summer, peace was restored briefly by a colonist John Rolfe marrying Pocahontas, the daughter of a local native chief.
From this marriage, Jamestown’s economy improved from the natives teaching the Europeans about growing tobacco.

fall to last throughout the winter.; as a thank you gift, the pilgrims celebrated with the natives. -> THANKSGIVING!!
The Mayflower Compact

and creating a body of settlers to elect leaders.

The Puritans were better prepared than the Pilgrims; sailed in time to plant crops and chose an English governor.
•
By 1643, 20,000 colonists were spread throughout the colony; “A City on a Hill” under Governor John Winthrop.
Conclusion (Massachusetts Bay Colony = Plymouth)
•
Due to the success in Boston and its strong colonists, both English settlements became one colony by 1691.
