Introduction
• The foundation of the colonies beginning with the
founding of Jamestown until the beginning of the
Revolutionary War, different regions of the eastern coast
had different characteristics. Once established, the
thirteen British colonies could be divided into three
geographic areas: New England, Middle, and Southern.
Each of these had specific economic, social, and political
developments that were unique to
• the regions
Focus Statement
Summarize the history of English
settlements in the southern region,
Previous/future knowledge:
• In grade three and four, students have studied
the development of the Carolina colony under
the Lords Proprietors (3-2.4) and compared the
various European settlements in North America
in terms of economic activities, religious
emphasis, government, and lifestyles (4-2.2). In
United States History and the Constitution,
students will summarize the distinct
characteristics of each colonial region in the
settlement and development of British North
America, including religious, social, political, and
economic differences (USHC 1.1).
Jamestown
• Jamestown was the first permanent English
settlement in the New World [1607].
• Established by a joint stock company, the
settlers endured several years of starvation
and the deaths of many until tobacco made
the settlement sustainable.
The Headright System Defined
• The headright system was initiated by the London Company.
It provided land to anyone who paid their own passage or the
passage of others to the settlement.
• The headright system promoted the establishment of large
tobacco plantations and thus conflict over land with the
natives as the settlers took more land for tobacco production.
• Tobacco growers enlarged their landholding through the
headright and secured workers by paying for the passage of
indentured servants.
Government
• The London Company also established the House of Burgesses
[1619] so that settlers would have a voice in the governance
of the colony.
• Although not completely democratic, this assembly was in
keeping with English political tradition since the Magna
Carta.
• Jamestown grew into the colony of Virginia and established
the pattern for the southern colonies.
Checking for Understanding
Why did the London company establish
the House of Burgesses?
Answer: So that the settlers would have a
voice in their government.

The New England Colonies
• The New England colonies were founded as a haven for
religious groups persecuted in England.
Pilgrims
•
The Separatists [Pilgrims] landed at Plymouth after
signing the Mayflower Compact [1620] establishing
another bedrock of American democracy – the idea that
the people form the government.

• With the help of a Native American, they learned to plant
corn and sustained themselves but never prospered.
Checking for Understanding
Which document established a
type of government for the
Pilgrims?
Answer: The Mayflower Compact
25
The Puritans
• Landed in the Massachusetts Bay [1630s].
• The Puritans invested in their own joint stock company
and brought their charter with them to the New World.
• Consequently they established a democratic form of
government that included town meetings and a general
assembly.
• All male church members could vote. They prospered
almost immediately, harvesting the lumber of the great
northern woods, building ships, and engaging in trade.
Puritans cont’d
•
They established schools so that their children could learn to
read the Bible and established religious conformity.
• Dissenters were exiled to other parts of the region.
• Puritan families were large so the population grew and
spread to other areas of New England, taking its religious and
governing ideas along.
• New Englanders enjoyed religious homogeneity, a thriving
economy based on trade, and a democratic government.
Checking for Understanding
Why were the New England colonies
founded?
Answer: As a haven for religious groups
persecuted in England

Middle Colonies
Included a great variety of Europeans, including the Dutch
who first settled New York and the Swedes who first settled
Delaware.
• English Puritans also moved into the Middle Colonies and
English Quakers settled Pennsylvania. The Quakers were a
group of religious dissenters who believed that everyone had
an inner light. They promoted religious tolerance and good
relations with the natives in their region and so the colony
attracted many other groups of people.
• The Middle Colonies had the greatest diversity of people and
religions in British North America.
•
Middle Colonies
• The king (Charles II) granted William Penn land as
the repayment of a family debt so Penn had the
rights of a proprietor and could name the governor
of the colony.
• Pennsylvania also had a representative assembly as
did the other colonies in the region.
• Founded for the purpose of profit, this region’s
economic prosperity rested on its good harbors and
fertile fields. It became known as the ‘breadbasket’ of
the colonies.
Checking for Understanding
Why was Pennsylvania founded?
Answer: For the purpose of profit

South Carolina was founded as a
proprietary colony when the king
(Charles II) granted land to the eight
Lords Proprietors in payment of a debt,
just as he had to a single proprietor in
Pennsylvania. The proprietors hoped to
make a profit by charging settlers a
quitrent on the land. The proprietors
commissioned John Locke to write the
Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina.
This document included policies, such as
religious toleration, designed to attract
settlers. It also included provisions for
establishing a social class system based on
the granting of titles to large landholders.
Although this provision was never carried
out, it shows the intention to make
Carolina a society based on deference to
the elites, unlike the experiences in New
England and the middle colonies where
religion at first emphasized equality.
