Philbrick highlights when Mayflower arrives, there are many people who are malnourished, having signs scurvy with “loosening of teeth, and foul smelling breath” (Philbrick 1), and infected by the plague due to unsanitary conditions on the boat. There the people begin to die and endure a great deal of suffering because of the First Winter “... so many fell ill that there were barely half a dozen left to tend the sick” (Philbrick 85). As winter begins to approach, the food supply begins to run short and there are only a couple houses that are built within a span of one year: not enough for the whole population. Eventually, after the horrible winter, the Pilgrims meet Native Americans, the Wampanoag tribe in the area and they are able to form trading alliances with them which would benefit both parties.…
A huge problem in settling Charles Town was the Native Americans being aggressive towards settlers. Document E states “We are continually insulted by the Indians.” The Natives were constantly treating the settlers in Charles Town poorly. “We expect shortly troops for Gen. Amherst, which I trust will be able to manage these savage enemies.” (Doc E) The settlers had so many issues with the Natives that they called in General Amherst to help control the Native Americans.…
The raids, ordered by a capable leader, John Smith, played a major role in deteriorating the harmony between the two settlers. The winter of 1609, known as “the Starving Time” marked another step to disharmony. The native Indians, infuriated by the constant raids and other hostile actions by the English colonists, monopolized all the food supplies in the wood and enclosed the colonist in their palisade. The colonists had to find anything edible such as snakes, dogs, cats and rats in order to maintain their lives.…

During the beginning of the Virginia colony the 104 settlers went through some really hard times. A great example of that is document A witch Is a letter written by George Percy. The document talks about how the settlers were destroyed by cruel diseases and famine. Some settlers were so desperate that they eat cats, rats, and myce. So went to extreme measures and started to dig up corpses to eat. There was even one man who killed then ate his own wife. Things got better when the settlers made peace with chief Indian Powhatan and got resources from them.…
The early 17th century Jamestown witnessed one of the worst winters during 1609. There was scarcity of food and colony settlers were living off carcasses of dogs, cats and horses, time which would be later called the “Starving time”. This colony was founded in 1607 by 104 settlers of which only 38 survived the first nine months, with most succumbing to starvation and disease caused probably by poisoned water. Additionally, this time also saw one of the worst droughts , and since the colonists were not accustomed to agricultural labor, most perished and the survivors were entirely dependent on the trade with Native Americans. Being transported in such ear of such hardship, basic survival skills would be of most imperative. Also business skills would of importance to improve trade and commerce with the indigenous natives for initial survival. Without either of these skillsets it would near impossible to survive let alone thrive in such harsh conditions, especially if coming from an aristocratic background like most of the early settlers. Despite the hardship Jamestown is one of the first successful colonies probably because of Captain John Smith who established trade with the natives and later by a settler John Rolfe who found the land suitable for tobacco and started tobacco farming. In this case, a…
In fact the first reason people died was because of lack of food. They didn't have many animals around because of how dirty the land was because of them throwing out their poop (Blanton 55). “it was plenty to get them fatly home to england., And headed out into the atlantic.”(61). They didn't have any skilled farmers or butchers to get them any meat or to grow corn ( Smith 59) . “ Frances West and thirty-six men men [sailed] up the chesapeake bay to try to trade for corn with the Potawomeke Indians.” (61)Some people who did live still died from something else. The people would have lived if they brought farmers and…

But eventually the starving time ended which left the colonists with only sixty. Then John Rolf would come over and find a new way to cure tobacco. John Rolf ended up marring which Pocahontas would help the colonists form a long lasting peace with the indians. The colonist had come so vary close to failing they probobly would have failed if it werent for the…
There were also economic reasons as to why the Americans eventually rebelled. After the French and Indian War, Britain gained supremacy in North America (document A). The colonists got a lot of new land; however they were not able to settle it. In an attempt to make the Indians happy and to make sure they won’t rebel, the British imposed the Proclamation of 1763, forbidding the Americans to settle the land (Document B). The Americans were upset with the British. They felt that, they fought a war and were not able to settle the land that they rightfully won.…
The colony survived the first winter which claimed many. The Pilgrims made changes to the landscape of New England. In the early 1630s a smallpox epidemic almost eliminated the Indian population surrounding Plymouth. Due to the depleting number of wild animals, the Pilgrims worked very hard to domesticate animals, such as horses, cattle and sheep. “The Pilgrims’ experience with the Indians was, for a time, very different from the experiences of the early English settlers farther south. That was in part because of the remaining natives in the region-their numbers thinned by disease-were significantly weaker than their southern neighbors and realized they had to get along with the Europeans. In the end, the survival and growth of the colony depended crucially on the assistance they received from natives.” (Brinkley 42) With the help of Indian friends Squanto and Samoset, they learned how to fish, cultivate corn, and hunt animals. Squanto was also a help in forming an alliance between the settlers and the Wampanoags. This alliance was…
The population in the American Colonies had a tenfold increase between 1701 and 1775. More than one million people had come across the ocean to join the other colonists. Newcomers did not just come from Great Britain. They came from western and central Europe as well. Some came seeking economic opportunities in farming new land or becoming a merchant in a colonial town. Others came to escape wars and religious persecution. With all these newcomers, they brought their culture to the colonies. Some of these cultures were completely new to the colonists. These new cultures and religions and ways of life made the colonists begin to question their own culture that they had become so accustomed to. Without this push towards new ways the colonists may not have realized that they might be able to make their own political decisions.…

At the start of the seventeenth century, Native Americans greeted European settlers with much excitement. They regarded settlers as strange, but were interested to learn about the new tools and weapons Europeans brought with them. The native people were more than accommodating to the settlers, but as time passed, Europeans took advantage of their generosity. “Once these newcomers disembarked and began to feel their way across the continent, they forever altered the course and pace of native development.” Native Americans and Europeans faced many conflicts due to their vast differences in language, religion and culture. European settlers’ inability to understand and respect Native Americans lead to many struggles that would eventually erupt into violent warfare.…
