Notes tonight on pages 73-83 tonight!
Should Mr. Boothby just melt these down and DESTROY THEM?
Are THEY evil?
All of them DUE TOMORROW!!
1) "Life in the American wilderness was nasty, brutish, and short for the
earliest Chesapeake settlers." Explain.
Many of the earliest Chesapeake settlers were killed by diseases such as
malaria, dysentery, and typhoid, and cut about 10 years from a typical
Englishman's life span. This would lead to the outnumbering of men to
women and early pregnancies and marriages to keep a generation going.
2) What conditions in Virginia made the colony right for the importation of
indentured servants?
Over time, as the tobacco industry grew, more and more workers were
needed. The indentured servants were a perfect fit for the job considering
that Indians died too quickly and African slaves were too expensive.
3) Who is most to blame for Bacon's rebellion, the upper class or the lower
class? Explain.
The upper class is most to blame for the Bacon rebellion because if Berkley
had taken action to fix the problems of the people who rebelled, they
wouldn't have rebelled in the first place.
4)Describe the slave trade.
Due to drastic economic changes in England, the slave trade was able to
greatly expand and slaves would soon outnumber the colonists themselves.
Race would start becoming an issue by the end of the seventeenth century,
when rights were established that clearly differentiated the African slaves
with the whites.
5)Describe slave culture and contributions. Slaves brought a very unique
culture to America. Off the coast of South Carolina, slaves created a
language called Gullah which has contributed some words to our culture. A
West African religious dance eventually contributed to the development of
jazz. Every specific job carried out by each slave helped build and create the
more modern America.

WHAT
Bacon's Rebellion was an armed rebellion in 1676 by Virginia settlers led by
Nathaniel Bacon against the rule of Governor William Berkeley.
WHY
Bacon objected to the rights granted to Virginia's wealthy inner circle and was
angered by Governor Berkeley's inability to protect Virginia from attacks by the
native Americans. Bacon hated the government (THE MAIN SEAT WAS
JAMESTOWN) Bacon commanded two unauthorized raids on native American
tribes, increasing his popularity…
