American Communities: Communities
Struggle with Diversity in SeventeenthCentury Santa Fe
In Santa Fe, the Pueblos clashed with Spanish
authorities over religious practices.
In 1680, Pope, a Pueblo priest, led a successful
revolt that temporarily ended Spanish rule.
In 1692, Spanish regained control, loosening
religious restrictions.
Pueblos observed Catholicism in churches and
missionaries tolerated traditional practices away
from the mission

Acoma Pueblo, the “sky city,” was founded in the thirteenth century and is one of
the oldest continuously inhabited sites in the United States. In 1598, Juan de Ońate
attacked and laid waste to the pueblo, killing some 800 inhabitants and enslaving
another 500.

Colony of New Mexico centered around Santa Fe.
The Spanish depended on forced Indian labor for
modest farming and sheep raising.

MAP 3.1 New Mexico in the Seventeenth
Century By the end of the seventeenth
century, New Mexico numbered 3,000 colonial
settlers in several towns, surrounded by an
estimated 50,000 Pueblo Indians living in some
fifty farming villages. The isolation and sense
of danger among the Hispanic settlers are
evident in their name for the road linking the
colony with New Spain, Jornada del Muerto,
“Road of Death.”

New France
Map: New France in the Seventeenth Century
In 1605, French set up an outpost on the Bay of Fundy to
monopolize fur trade.
Samuel de Champlain was leader and allied with Hurons
against Iroquois.
To exploit fur trade, French lived throughout region.
Only French Catholics were permitted
Quebec City was administrative center of vast French colonial
empire.
French had society of inclusion, intermarried with Indians.
Formed alliances with Indians rather than conquering
Missionaries attempted to learn more about Indian customs

This illustration, taken from Samuel de Champlain’s 1613 account of the founding of New
France, depicts him joining the Huron attack on the Iroquois in 1609. The French and their
Huron allies controlled access to the great fur grounds of the West. The Iroquois then
formed an alliance of their own with the Dutch, who had founded a trading colony on the
Hudson River. The palm trees in the background of this drawing suggest that it was not
executed by an eyewitness, but rather by an illustrator more familiar with South American
scenes.

New Netherland
Upon achieving independence, the United
Provinces of the Netherlands developed a global
commercial empire.
Dutch East India Company and the Dutch West India
Company
In present-day New York, the Dutch established
settlements, Dutch opened trade with the Iroquois.
Iroquois, through warfare, became the important
middlemen of the fur trade with the Dutch.

Jamestown and the Powhatan
Confederacy
King James I issued royal charters to establish colonies.
In 1607, Virginia Company founded Jamestown colony.
Jamestown colonists saw themselves as conquistadors and
were unable to support themselves.
Depended on supplies and new colonists from England
Algonquian people numbered about 14,000 and a powerful
confederacy headed by Powhatan confronted the English.
Seeking trade, Powhatans supplied starving colonists with
food, but soon abandoned that policy.
Warfare ensued until one of Powhatan’s daughters
(Pocahontas) was held captive.
Powhatan called for peace and Pocahontas married a colonist.

This 1628 engraving depicts the surprise attack of Indians on Virginia colonists in 1622.
While it includes numerous inaccuracies (the Indians did not possess such large knives
and the colonists lived in far more primitive conditions) the image effectively conveys the
surprise and horror of the English.

17
Tobacco, Expansion and, Warfare
The English planting of tobacco supplied cash crop,
stimulating migration.
Tobacco plantations dominated the economy.
Choosing to populate Virginia with English families, the
area became a territory of exclusion.
The colony grew without having to rely on Indian intermarriage
thus pushing the Indians off of their land.
Disease claimed many English settlers.
Conflicts between Algonquians and English occurred from
1622-1632 and again in 1644.
Defeat in 1644 was the last Indian resistance by the
Powhatan Confederacy.

Maryland
In 1632, King Charles I granted ten million acres
at the north end of the Chesapeake Bay to the
Calvert family, the Lords Baltimore.
Maryland was a “proprietary colony” and because
the Calverts were Catholic they encouraged
others of the same faith to migrate to America.
The economy was based on tobacco plantations.

22
Indentured Servants
Three-quarters of English migrants to the
Chesapeake arrived as indentured servants who
exchanged passage in return for two to seven years
of labor.
The first African slaves came to the Chesapeake in
1619 but were more expensive than servants.
In terms of treatment, there was little difference
between indentured labor and slavery.

23
Community Life in the Chesapeake
Women fared better in the Chesapeake than men.
They were fewer in number, suffered lower mortality
rates, and many women became widows and through
remarriage accumulated wealth.
High mortality rates meant families were small
and kinship bonds were weak.
Little local community life developed and close
ties with England were maintained

The Social and Political Values of
Puritanism
English followers of John Calvin were called
Puritans because they wanted to purify and reform
the English church.
Because of Calvinist emphasis on enterprise,
Puritanism appealed most to merchants,
entrepreneurs, and commercial farmers.
Persecution of the Puritans and disputes between
the kings of England and Parliament provided
context for migration of Puritans to New England.

Early Contacts in New England
Map: European Colonies of the Atlantic Coast,
1607-39
French and Dutch established trade connections
with Algonquians in region.
From 1616 to 1618, a disease epidemic wiped out
whole villages and disrupted trade.
Native population dropped from an estimated
120,000 to under 70,000.
The remaining Indians societies on the Atlantic
coast were too weak to resist the planting of
English colonies.

MAP 3.3 European
Colonies of the Atlantic
Coast, 1607–39 Virginia, on
Chesapeake Bay, was the
first English colony in North
America, but by the midseventeenth century,
Virginia was joined by
settlements of
Scandinavians on the
Delaware River and Dutch
on the Hudson River, as
well as English religious
dissenters in New England.
The territories indicated
here reflect the vague
boundaries of the early
colonies.

28
Plymouth Colony
The first English colony in New England was founded
by Separatists, better known as the Pilgrims.
Separatists believed they needed to found independent
congregations to separate themselves from the corrupt
English church.
In 1620, they sailed for American and signed the
Mayflower Compact, the first document of selfgovernment in America, before landing at Plymouth.
With help from the Indians, the Plymouth colony
eventually established a community of self-sufficient
farms.

29
The Massachusetts Bay Colony
In 1629, a group of wealthy Puritans was
granted a royal charter to found the
Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Between 1629 and 1643, approximately
20,000 people relocated to Massachusetts.
Massachusetts was governed locally by a
governor and elected representatives.
This was the origin of democratic suffrage and
bicameral division of legislative authority.

Dissent and New Communities
Puritans emigrated for religious freedom but were
not tolerant of other religious viewpoints.
In 1636, when Thomas Hooker disagreed with
church policy, he led his followers west and
founded the beginning of the colony of Connecticut.
In 1636, Roger Williams was banished because of
his views on religious tolerance and founded the
colony of Rhode Island.
In 1638, Ann Hutchinson and her followers moved
to Rhode Island.

32
Indians and Puritans
Unlike the French and Dutch, the primary interest
of the English was acquiring land.
Disease had depopulated parts of New England
making it seem there was open land.
The English used a variety of tactics to pressure
native leaders into relinquishing their lands.
The English and their Narragansett allies defeated
the Pequots, who were allies of the Dutch.

The first map printed in the English colonies, this view of New England was published in
Boston in 1677. With north oriented to the right, it looks west from Massachusetts Bay, the
two vertical black lines indicating the approximate boundaries of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. The territory west of Rhode Island is noted as an Indian stronghold, the
homelands of the Narraganset, Pequot, and Nipmuck peoples.

The New England Merchants
Initially, the New England economy
was based on sales of land and
supplies to migrants.
New England merchants developed
diversified trade of fish, farm products,
and lumber.

Community and Family in
Massachusetts
The close-knit, well-ordered families and
communities of New England were not
“puritanical” as the word is used today.
Settlers clustered near the town center,
building churches and schools.
Society was male-dominated and women
were mistrusted as shown by various
witchcraft scares.

The Mason Children, by an unknown Boston artist, ca. 1670. These Puritan children—
David, Joanna, and Abigail Mason—are dressed in finery, an indication of the wealth
and prominence of their family. The cane in young David’s hand indicates his position
as the male heir, while the rose held by Abigail is a symbol of childhood innocence.

The Salem Witch Trials
The cultural mistrust of women
manifested in public witch scares.
The Salem witch scare reflected social
tensions.
The crisis exposed a dark side of
Puritan thinking about women.

MAP 3.4 The Proprietary
Colonies After the
restoration of the Stuart
monarchy in 1660, King
Charles II of England created
the new proprietary colonies
of Carolina, New York,
Pennsylvania, and New
Jersey. New Hampshire was
set off as a royal colony in
1680, and in 1704, the lower
counties of Pennsylvania
became the colony of
Delaware.

41
Early Carolina
King Charles II initiated the founding of
new colonies along the Atlantic Coast.
In 1663, the colony of Carolina was
chartered but soon divided into a
northern and a southern colony.
North Carolina was home to 5,000 small
farmers and large tobacco planters,
many from Virginia.

42
From New Netherland to New York
The growth of the English colonies led the Dutch
West India Company to promote migration to their
New Netherland colony.
Competition with England caused a series of three
wars that transferred New Netherland to the
English.
King Charles II gave the colony to his brother the
Duke of York and renamed it New York.
New York boasted the most heterogeneous society
in North America.

The Founding of Pennsylvania
In 1681, King Charles II repaid a debt to William
Penn’s father by granting the younger Penn a huge
territory west of the Delaware River.
Penn traveled to Pennsylvania and oversaw the
organization of Philadelphia.
Penn was a Quaker and established his colony as a
“holy experiment.”
Penn purchased the land from the Algonquians,
dealing fairly with the Indians.
Immigrants flocked to Pennsylvania which later
became America’s breadbasket.

The Delawares presented William Penn with this wampum belt after the
Shackamaxon Treaty of 1682. In friendship, a Quaker in distinctive hat clasps
the hand of an Indian. The diagonal stripes on either side of the figures
represent the “open paths” between the English and the Delawares.
Wampum belts like this one, made from strings of white and purple shell
beads, were used to commemorate treaties throughout the colonial period,
and were the most widely accepted form of money in the northeastern
colonies during the seventeenth century.

Conflict and War
In the last quarter of the seventeenth
century, intertribal and inter-colonial rivalry
stimulated violence that extended from
Santa Fe to Hudson’s Bay.

MAP 3.5 Spread of
Settlement: British
Colonies, 1650–

century created the

number of violent
conflicts, including
King Philip’s War,
Bacon’s Rebellion,
and King William’s
War.

King Philip’s War
Relations between the Plymouth colonists and
Pokanokets deteriorated in the 1670s.
The colonists attempted to gain sovereign authority over the
land of King Philip (Metacom).
After peaceful coexistence lasting forty years, the Indians
realized that the colonists were interested in domination.
King Philip led an alliance of Indian peoples against
the United Colonies of New England and New York in
King Philip’s War.
By 1676, in part due to an alliance between the
Iroquois Confederacy and the English, King Philip’s
War ended in defeat.

Bacon’s Rebellion and Southern
Conflicts
In the 1670s, conflicts erupted between Virginia settlers
and the Susquehannocks on the upper Potomac River.
Nathaniel Bacon demanded the death or removal of all
Indians from the colony.
The governor attempted to suppress unauthorized military
expeditions.
Bacon and his followers rebelled against Virginia’s royal
governor, pillaging the capital of Williamsburg.
When Bacon died of dysentery, his rebellion collapsed.
Planters feared former servants would remain disruptive
and turned to African slave labor.

52
The Glorious Revolution in America
In 1685, King James II attempted to increase royal control
by combining New York, New Jersey, and the New
England colonies into the Dominion of New England.
Colonial governments were disbanded and Anglican forms of
worship were imposed.
The Glorious Revolution of 1688 overthrew King James
and colonial revolts broke out in favor of the Glorious
Revolution.
Parliament installed William and Mary as king and queen.
The new rulers abolished the Dominion of New England
and colonists revived assemblies and returned to selfgovernment.
© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
53
King William’s War
In 1689, England and France began almost 75 years of
warfare over control of the North American interior.
English gains in the fur trade led to the outbreak of
King William’s War.
The war ended inconclusively in 1697.
England feared loss of control of the colonies and
replaced proprietary rule with royal rule.
This signified the tightening of imperial reigns over the
colonies of North America.
