Lesson 3 Saints and Strangers tually became an autocrat. His treatment of the Native Americans and his restrictions on those who could vote became his trademarks. By 1676, backcountry unrest and political rivalries erupted into Bacon’s Rebellion, which directly challenged the Virginia colonial government and Berkeley himself. Bacon’s sudden death ended the immediate threat, but the event remains symbolic. In September 1620, “thirty-four saints and sixty-seven strangers” set sail from England to establish another colony in North America. These migrating Puritans set out for the Hudson River, but actually landed in Cape Cod. Because Plymouth lay outside the London Company’s territory, the Pilgrims signed the “Mayflower Compact,” which outlined their local government. Unlike earlier colonists, the Pilgrims initially cooperated with the Indians such as Squanto and Samoset, even celebrating a Thanksgiving feast with them. Led by William Bradford, Plymouth Plantation was a poor community, but dedicated to the building and sustaining of a Christian colony in North America. As political problems with James I and Charles I intensified in England, another group of English migrants set sail for the New World under the Massachusetts Bay Company. In 1630, under the leadership of John Winthrop, 1,000 people set sail in seventeen ships. Once they arrived, these settlers moved quickly in establishing colonies. In each new town, the community church became the focal point of town life, leading to what today is called the Congregational Church. Serious-minded and very pietistic, these colonists worked hard to Assignment This lesson is based on information in the following text selections and video. Read the text carefully, watch the video, and study all the material. Text: The chapter number and section titles of reading assignments are the same in both books: A. Brinkley, American History: A Survey, Volume 1, 12th edition, and A. Brinkley, The Unfinished Nation, Volume 1, 5th edition The following sections from Chapter 2 of the text are covered in this lesson: “Bacon’s Rebellion,” “The Growth of New England,” “The Restoration Colonies,” and “Borderlands and Middle Grounds” Video: Episode 3, “Saints and Strangers” Overview The development of the colony of Virginia was difficult, to say the least. In addition to the intrinsic problems of settlement in the new world, the colonists confronted issues of backcountry colonists and political conflicts. Although initially a good governor, Sir William Berkeley, for example, even- 13 14 T HE UNFINISHED N ATION ( TO 1877) establish a theocracy, and in so doing they provided social stability for their colony. Yet, as the population of Massachusetts Bay grew, religious dissent appeared, leading to the establishment of other colonies such as Connecticut and Rhode Island. Perhaps the most serious threat to the religious domination within the Massachusetts colony was Anne Hutchinson, who challenged the Massachusetts clergy in her “Antinomianism” heresy and her insistence on women’s rights, which was something governor John Winthrop would not abide. Convicted of sedition, she was banished from Puritan Massachusetts. Her followers migrated to places such as New Hampshire and Maine. The most significant aspect of New England colonial development was the relationship the colonists had with the Native Americans. Initially friendly, the Indians helped the settlers in agricultural techniques, land use, and hunting. However, as the fur trade developed and colonial greed for land grew, colonial attitudes changed, resulting in such bloody conflicts as the Pequot War and King Philip’s War. As time went on, the colonists and Native Americans eventually reached a middle ground. By the end of the 1630s, colonial ventures began to slow as England incurred problems of its own. The English Civil War erupted, Charles I was executed, and Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell installed as the new governmental authority in England. With the ascension of Charles II, however, North American colonial settlement proceeded apace and became a more permanent enterprise as the Carolinas, New York, and New Jersey were settled. Pennsylvania, established by William Penn and his religious denomination, the Quakers, also followed. With England’s North American colonies developing, English possessions in the Caribbean at Antigua, St. Kitts, Jamaica, and Barbados prospered as well. Caribbean economies were based on sugar and relied more and more on slavery. On the islands, slaves were treated brutally and revolts often occurred. For North America, these islands would serve as suppliers of African slaves in the years to come. England was not alone in her colonization efforts. Spain was still a presence in Mexico and different territories of North America like Florida, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Hostilities between England and Spain frequently erupted into violence. In fact, the colony of Georgia developed to serve as a buffer against the Spanish lands on the southern borders of English America. Focus Points Learning Objectives After reading the assigned pages in the text and watching the video, you should be able to: ✓ Discuss when and how the colony of Virginia developed and explain the importance of Bacon’s Rebellion. ✓ Explain who the Puritans (Pilgrims) were, where they settled, and their accomplishments, especially the Mayflower Compact. ✓ Understand the significance of the Massachusetts Bay Company and its impact on English colonization in North America. ✓ Trace the changing relationship among the New England colonists and the Native Americans. ✓ Explain how the Carolinas, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Georgia developed. ✓ Evaluate the importance of the Caribbean islands as models for North America, especially in terms of slavery and the rivalry among the Great Powers of Europe. Key Terms and Concepts After reading the assigned pages in your text and watching the video, you should be able to identify and explain the significance of the following: Antinomian heresy Bacon’s Rebellion Sir William Berkeley William Bradford Caribbean islands Sir George Carteret Charles I Charles II Charles Town Congregational Church Anthony Ashley Cooper Oliver Cromwell L ESSON 3: S AINTS AND S TRANGERS Dutch patroons English Civil War flintlock musket Fundamental Articles of New Haven Fundamental Orders of Connecticut hivings Thomas Hooker Anne Hutchinson John Locke Massachusetts Bay Company matchlock rifle Mayflower Compact middle grounds New Amsterdam James Oglethorpe William Penn Pequot War, 1637 King Philip’s War Plymouth Plantation puritanism Quakers Scrooby Group theocracy John Wheelwright Roger Williams John Winthrop Text Focus Points These text focus points are the main ideas presented in this section of the textbook. Read these points carefully before reading the text. You may want to take notes for future reference and study. ✓ The development of Virginia was difficult in many ways, but especially in the tension between those who settled in the backcountry and those who settled elsewhere in the colony. Tensions also existed politically between the governor, Sir William Berkeley, and others, particularly Nathaniel Bacon. ✓ The Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth Rock were dedicated to building and living in a Christian community. With the Mayflower Compact as a basis, the colony, led by William Bradford, saw itself as a model for Puritans in the New World. ✓ The Massachusetts Bay Company led the way in establishing colonies in New England. It emphasized a theocratic society, community decisionmaking, and conformity. Those who refused to conform, such as Anne Hutchinson, paid the 15 price for their behavior and beliefs. Other colonies, like Rhode Island and Connecticut, were founded when people such as Anne Hutchinson and her followers were forced to migrate to other areas because of their beliefs. ✓ English colonists and Native Americans maintained peaceful and mutually beneficial relations with each other until colonial greed for land increased, crippling the fur trade that the Native Americans depended on. Often the result of these growing tensions were wars such as the Pequot War and King Philip’s War. ✓ With the end of England’s Civil War, North America again expanded into new colonies such as the Carolinas, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. ✓ The Caribbean islands, controlled by Spain and England, became models for English colonies in North America, particularly in their treatment of Native Americans and the introduction of slavery. Fortunately, over time both sides did seek accommodation. Video Focus Points These video focus points are designed to help you understand and get the most out of the video for this section. Read these points carefully before watching the video. You may want to take notes for future reference and study. ✓ The Puritans left England for a variety of reasons including the desire to pursue a God-centered life. Once in North America, they worked hard to establish their vision of a community. ✓ The Irish example influenced the colonists to view Native Americans as uncivilized savages. ✓ The Massachusetts Bay Company set the stage for New England colonization. Emphasizing local autonomy, they used the town meeting and community building as bulwarks of their colonial efforts. ✓ New England colonies were “covenanted” congregational communities in which ministers held no civil offices, yet all colonists paid to support the clergy. Problems erupted in that everyone felt they had the right to watch everyone else. ✓ Anne Hutchinson refused to accept her role as a woman and rebelled against the rigidity of Puri- 16 T HE UNFINISHED N ATION ( TO 1877) tanism. Her rebellion led to her being banished from the colony. ✓ The colonies of New England differed from those of the Chesapeake in their desire to stay in their colonies, although “hivings” off into other colonies did occur. ✓ The relationship between New Englanders and the Native Americans gradually went from friendliness to open hostility, resulting in violent wars such as the Pequot War and King Philip’s War.
