Upon Queen Elizabeth’s request, a noble English-courtier, Sir Walter Raleigh, sent out for an expedition to seek out new land to start a colony. Roanoke Island, protected from the Atlantic Ocean by the slender sand dunes that came to be known as the Outer Banks, seemed a likely spot (First Settlement). The colony of Roanoke was the first attempted colony in America, settled by John White, an artist (First Settlement). Raleigh sent 108 male settlers and nine females to assist in exploring the new colony; they left from Plymouth, England on April 27, 1584 with Phillip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe as their captains. The 108 settlers were not of any special rank in England, they just happened to be chosen at random by Sir Walter Raleigh; however it was considered an honor to them being he was ordained by Queen Elizabeth.
Certain number of goods that were exported or imported by the colonies had to be shipped through England regardless of the final port of destination. Now on to the social side of the Revolution. The Revolution was not revolutionary based on social factors because, the

Virginia has a long and rich history. Originally called Jamestown after the king of England at that time, King James I, it was also known as “Old Dominion.” It was one of the first ever British colonies in the New World. Some call it the “Mother of Presidents,” as eight U.S. presidents were born and raised in Virginia. If it wasn’t for certain historical events, Virginia wouldn’t be what it is today. This is the reason why the colonial history of Virginia is important.

In 1815 North American events were primarily determined by the United States of America, which at that time governed the territory from the East Coast to more or less the Rocky Mountains in the west, and by two major colonial powers, namely Spain in the west and Great Britain in today`s Canada. All three found themselves in a process of continental expansion, which was essentially motivated by social, religious and political matters and ideologies and often culminated in wars like The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), The War of 1812 between the United States of America and the British Empire or the Mexican-American War which was settled in 1848 – wars that played a major role in the U.S. state building process. This North American process was dependent on differences and divergences, but also of interaction and entanglement within a common frame, but especially on its level of participants’ sovereignty. Therefore, in 1815 the colonial powers Great Britain and Spain were in a race for the North American supremacy with the United States, which held the leading position due to its increasing independent status. All of them found themselves in between a colonial establishment, maintenance and acquisition of new territory on the one hand and a post-colonial identity finding organization of their territory on the other hand.

Charter companies provided the settlers with materials and boats and they had to found (fonder) a colony whose profits would be shared by those companies. The most famous example was the colony of Virginia where Captain John Smith founded the city of Jamestown in 1605. Then, in 1620, English religious separatists sailed from Holland on board (=à bord de) the Mayflower and stopped in Plymouth on their way to the new world. They wanted to go to Virginia but they landed further north and decided to found the colony of New Plymouth. Their adventure is known as that of (= Celle de) “Pilgrim Fathers”.
