Captain John Smith (January 9, 1580 - June, 1631) was an English adventurer and soldier, and one of the founders of the Jamestown, Virginia, settlement. Smith also led expeditions exploring Chesapeake Bay and the New England coast. Smith was one of 105 settlers who sailed from England on December 19, 1606, and landed in Virginia on April 26, 1607. When they reached North America, the group opened sealed instructions and found that Smith was chosen as one of the seven leaders of the new colony. This was controversial since Smith had been accused of mutiny on the voyage.

It failed to reach any goals of stable government or happy living. Chapter one tells of the first successful English settlement in the new world. Not to be mistaken for the first English voyage to the new world. A number of attempts, such as Sir Walter Raleigh in 1585 and 1587 and also Captain Newport in 1605, to settle in the Americas had failed due to small size of investments and not enough men. After these failed attempts, seeing how power was in numbers, Many London merchants, soldiers, and country men came together and organized a trading company and then were granted a charter by King James as The Virginia Company of London, on April 10, 1606.
Winthrop said they must “delight in each other, make others’ conditions our own…” (Document A). By the 1700s the New England settlers had created a colony that was very dependent on each other and God. The Chesapeake colonies had very different settlers, however.

While fighting the Dutch Governor Berkeley identified one third of his fighting men as single and many of which were in debt (Document G).
Kevin Davis Professor Weiland History 1302 25 February 2014 Causes of the Spanish-American War Out of the entire Spanish Empire that prospered in 1492, Cuba was one of the last standing countries in the late 1800’s. The Spanish Empire was crumbling to pieces it seemed. Cuba was growing tired of being attached to their mother country, Spain so they spend several years trying to gain independence and eventually it would lead to the Spanish-American War. There were a few causes leading up to the war including The Ten Years War, American imperialism, the explosion of the U.S.S Maine in the Havana Harbor, the effects of yellow journalism against Spain in the New York Journal, and the blockade of Cuban ports when Spain denied the United
Whenever there is controversy between nations, the media takes advantage of a possible oncoming war and dramatizes reality, which attracts an audience to help establish a brand. In the Spanish- American War of 1898, the battleship Maine exploded in Havana’s harbor, where it had been docked in a show of American force, and 260 of its crewmen were killed. A notable trend that emerged during the Spanish-American War and has persisted to the modern day and has in fact become a model of American journalism is the idea of “yellow journalism.” In the 1890’s “yellow journalism” emerged from the newspaper techniques of Hearst and Pulitzer, as a method to sell newspaper. The idea was that newspapers sell better when there is sensational news to read about. This came into play in 1898 during the Spanish-American War, when Hearst was quoted telling a photographer who was complaining that there was no war in Cuba, “You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war.” By saying this, Hearst was hinting that he would sensationalize the explosion into war if pictures were leaked.
Fernando Vargas Jr. 07/25/11 1) How has racist ideology and imagery been used to legitimate injustice in the United States? The racist ideology in America can be traced all the way back to the discovery of this country with Columbus. Plain and simple, Columbus exploited the Native Americans for personal gain as well for the gain of Spain and the rest of Europe (Shohat Stam). The Spaniards would go on to wreak havoc for the Natives that were settled along the southern parts of the United States, destroying one group after another. With the colonization of America in the 1600’s it would not take long to annihilate the customs and traditions of the Native Americans.
