The colonies generally did not show quick profits. However, the English investors often turned over their colonial charters to the settlers. The political implications, although not realized at the time, were enormous. The colonists were left to build their own lives, their own communities, and their own economy. What early colonial success there was resulted from
The Pilgrimage of grace failed for many reasons, however, I think it failed mainly due to poor leadership. This is because Robert Aske accepted the King’s pardon at the River Don and trusted that Henry was going to discuss their grievances in court. When they accepted the pardon they dispersed back to their homes, which meant that when Henry didn’t do anything about their grievances then it would be difficult for all the rebels to regroup. The rebellion was regionalised to the North of the country and was too far away from London go back after just coming back. M.L Bush said that ‘It was interconnected regional rebellions rather than one fluid movement’ because once the rebels had gone back to where they lived dotted across the North of England they would all have to meet up rather than go down to London in one group.
In short, indentured servants were mainly poor British people without jobs. This process included young men/women binding themselves to masters for a fixed term of servitude in return for passage to America, food, and shelter. Some indentured servants chose to come to the colonies willingly, often trying to escape troubles in England, but not all. Some were convicts shipped to America while others were prisoners from battles. Regardless, the system of indentured servitude proved to be very appealing to those able to employ them.
This expedition headed northwest to the Hopi villages, which they recorded as Tusayan. Upon arrival, the Spanish were denied entrance to the village they came across, and once again resorted to using force to enter. Afterwards, the remaining villages dared to fight the Spanish, but held a meeting and decided not to. Materially, the Hopi region was just as poor as the Zuni, but the Spanish did find out that a large river (the Colorado) lay in the
New England, in general, was well-organized and sturdy in comparison to Jamestown’s swampy land and unequipped settlers. Immigrants who settled in the Chesapeake area seemed to have been little affected by religious motives. However, religion influenced many settlers in New England. Unlike Separatists, this Congregationalist man wanted to reform the Church of England rather than abolish it. He and other Congregationalists believed Charles I was more hostile to the Puritans than his father had been.
There were a lot a deaths and diseases that spread among the neighboring Indian tribes that sent a lot of them to an early grave including Captain Gosnold the Projector of the Enterprise. Planter John Rolfe and Captain John Smith mapped the area and intimidated Indians getting food that kept settlers from starving. This ended the mad scramble for gold as well as forced the men to build defenses and plant Indian corn. The economy of the Virginia Colony depended on farming as the main source of money. Due to the climate the colony wasn’t able to produce other crops necessary for survival.
The people in the Chesapeake and New England regions back in the 17th century could be very similar at first glance, but they were, in fact, a small part in developing the two distinct regions. New England was a safe-haven for religious separatists fleeing England. While in the Chesapeake, there were no religious motives whatsoever. The New England region consisted of many families, mostly of the puritan type. This was so they could have a functioning society where everyone would have a specific role.
He had a saying that was, “ he who shall not work, shall not eat.” The voyages leader was Governor Ratcliffe though. Ratcliffe was driven by gold and John Smith complained that they would run out of supplies and items if Ratcliffe kept trading. Ratcliffe was removed from the governor’s position and was later killed in 1609 by Native Americans. When the English arrive they set up Jamestown
This attempt to colonize in the new world was ruled a failed attempt because everyone died and got sick. But in the second attempt in 1586 Raleigh got smarter and sent John White as the leader of this future colony. Along with White, Raleigh sent 117 people including men, woman, and children to help with the natural population boom. Things were going great until a shortage of supplies became a problem. Since they were short of supplies John White goes back to London to get more supplies but gets caught up in a war for about 3 years.
* Removal of benevolences forced him to resort to the UNPOPULAR device of FORCED LOANS to pay for preparations against an invasion of Henry Tudor. * When Henry launched his assault in 1485, Richard’s authority was inadequate. * Unable to secure loans from his greater subject’s necessary to protect his realm, he died defeated on Bosworth Field in 1485. Why did Richards reign only last 26 months? * It was ‘…plagued by the consequences of his usurpation’ – Andrew Pickering * He never had an opportunity to demonstrate his capacity for kingship.
