    Manteo And Wanchese Summary

    Raleigh eventually gained approval from the royal crown to delegate an English colony in the unfamiliar land. Seven ships- and two flagships- departed from England on April 9, 1585. In total, there were 500 hundred men, including Manteo and Wanchese. Months thereafter passed and on June 26, 1585, the ships landed a mere 80 miles southwest of Roanoke. Unaware of the treacheries to navigate around the alien world, the Tiger, one of the quainter ships, ran aground and a generous portion of the cargo was lost. Once the seven ships ultimately dropped anchor into the shallow water surrounding the island, the Indians had no advanced emotions towards the English. Earlier in the year, the tribes witnessed and entire solar eclipse, a comet upon the return…

    An Analysis of the Passenger List for the 1607 Voyage to Jamestown

    The gender breakdown on the passenger list for the 1607 voyage to Jamestown is all men and a few boys and no women are on the passenger list. I am sure this was so because they planned for more settlers to come and they needed to establish the colony. There were four boys (boyes) the list mentions but it gives no age but if I had to guess they would be the closest to children if there were any. The main profession represented in the list is Gentlemen. Gentlemen back in that time were usually men of upper middle class who were entitled to display arms. A Gentleman sometimes had laborers work for them. They were usually adventurers and most hoped to build estates in the New World. The second profession represented on the list was Laborers (Labourers). Laborers worked for their Gentlemen masters and they would grow, build houses and do others essential tasks for their masters. Some professions not listed on the passengers list that I think would be crucial to see on a maiden voyage to the New World would be farmers, cooks, woodsmen, and maybe men who were career soldiers. What the passengers thought would be their opportunities open to them in the New World would be ones of starting out new and establishing a name for themselves. I also believe that many of them came for a number of different reasons. Take the Gentlemen for instance; I believe they came to seek fortune and to claim a stake in the New World. This I know because it has been recorded in many texts I have read. Others of no providence I believe came because they believed their statues would never change back home or they were running from something. Those that were a part of the counsel and some of the gentlemen came because they were instructed to do so by King James I and most were entrepreneurs. He instructed them to settle Virginia, find gold, and seek a water route to the Asia. Based on the type of people who made the voyage I…

    How Did The Roanoke Colony Disappearance

    Even with that fateful word carved into the tree, White had a map which contained a marking on a location which theoretically would have been a reasonable place for the settlers to move to (Pruitt 3). Specifically assumed is that the colony went to the tribe Croatoan, the same name they carved, intermarried and gradually moved inland to later be known as the Lumbee tribe (Steiger 1). Upon investigation by White he found that they had not gone to the Croatoan’s either. Possibly they just moved inland, by themselves, and were taken in by a friendly tribe (Vanished Into Thin Air 1; What Happened to the “Lost Colony” of Roanoke? 2). Even in the beginning the colonists were able to make good relations with the Natives, so it would not come as a surprise that they were able to merge with a tribe (The Roanoke Disasters 1). In which “would explain why no evidence of a massacre was found” (Vanished Into Thin Air 2). After all, with the given evidence and a persons ability to evaluate said evidence, it comes as no surprise why this theory is one that most believe above the…

Reffering to Carolina in that statement, to him women there seemed much more assiduous in his eyes.

They made clothes so they wouldn't have to buy them, did many things around the house, and were always ready to help out wherever and whenever it was necessary. Women in Carolina seemed to do so much more, and work so much harder than anywhere he had ever seen.…

    Jamestown vs. New England

    The Jamestown colony was located near present day James City County, Virginia. Jamestown was the first permanent settlement by the English in what is in current day known as the United States. The location of Jamestown was selected primarily for the fact that it provided a favorable defensive location against any other foreign powers that may have tried to gain control of the colony. John Smith, Robert Hunt along with others provided inspirational leadership for the colonists but even so starvation became a very apparent problem. The hostile relations with the local Native American people and a lack of any profitable exports only made matters worse. Despite this and a horrible winter bearing down on them, the colonists persevered. At the end of the first winter only 60 of the original 214 English colonists survived. (jamestown virginia) The settlers who came over on the initial three ships were not well-equipped for the life they found in Jamestown. In addition to the “Gentry” who was not accustomed to manual or skilled labor, they consisted mainly of English farmers who were not prepared physically or emotionally for the problems that would face them. (old and sold antique digest) Yet despite this they persevered and worked as a team to establish a colony. However, when two ships, crudely constructed in Bermuda, arrived at the settlement with no supplies, when the colonists desperately needed supplies the most, the settlers packed up and abandoned…

    James Healy's Life As A Slave

    Some people have to work tremendously hard to get by in life while others seem to have everything handed to them. James Healy, born as a slave, came from nothing. To make things more confusing, James was mixed race and didn’t look like either his white Irish father or his mulatto mother. Even though he was ¾ Irish because James had some “black blood” he was considered black, and a slave due to the one drop rule in Georgia (anyone with 1 drop of black blood, was black) (blackpast.org). “The rigidity of racial distinctions had to be maintained as much as possible. The idea that a person might be able to cross over from one race to another was out of the question....The distinction between "white blood" and "black blood" came to seem so fundamental…

    Why Did so Many Colonist Die in Early Jamestown?

    In the May of 1607, a group of Englishmen set out on three ships up the mouth of the James River, which is in the current state of Virginia, in search for land, and gold; they would soon use this land as a money making town in which they would farm and trade. The people that funded most of these travelers trip were English investors that supported the idea. The land that they found would now be called Jamestown. Upon arrival, many of the citizens of the new-found colony died. About 60% of the colonist brought in 1607 had deceased. This was all because of the environment, the diseases they were unprotected to, and the absence of rainfall.…
