Relationship Between Jamestown And The Algonquian Tribe

There were several differences and similarities between the first two settlements in the New World, Jamestown and Plymouth. This paper will make note of a few of the highlights. The chief difference between the two civilizations was their reason for coming and their key similarity was the poor relationship with their native neighbors.

Jamestown, is located off the James River in Virginia, USA. Jamestown is important to American history because it was the first English colony. In the early 1600’s, a group of 100 members of a Virginia company, paid for ships to come from England, where they founded the first permanent English settlement in North America on the banks of the James River. During the 1620s, Jamestown expanded from the area around the original James Fort into a New Town built to the east. Jamestown remained the capital of the Virginian colony until 1699.

According to Document D, there was mistrust between the British colonists and the Native Americans. There was mistrust between the two because the colonist forced the Native Americans to trade goods, which was unfair to the Natives because it was not their fault they were unprepared. Native Americans and the English settlers couldn’t get along, and because this happened, this led to war, which led to death. Also those who were wounded or injured did not have enough doctors or surgeons to help( Doc.C). Also, according to document E, 144 colonists died by the attack of the Native Americans in the years of 1607 to 1610. This again shows the tension between the two groups. Although it is the Native Americans that did the attacking, it may have been because of the settler’s treatment in document D, when the colonists threatened to kill the Native

Throughout the years the Spanish, English, French and Dutch which are four main colonies have had good relationships with the Natives and some of the colonies did not have a good relationship with the Natives. The colonies gave the Natives disease that they brought over from their homeland. Most of the colonies tried to make the Natives slaves and take the all of Natives supplies and food. Some colonies tried to take the Native’s lands so the colonies could build on them. Even though these hard times were happening throughout the years to the Natives there was still some good that came out of all that bad. The Natives traded with the four colonies for items that they normally did not have. The Natives also helped the four colonies when they

They were important facts that proves why so many colonist died in the early time of Jamestown. If theses reasons never existed then they would have a better time to live.The question appears and is significant and matters today because you can learn from this time in Jamestown the correct way. It also helps improve the knowledge of the understanding why so many colonists died. You would want accurate information for the event. They were so cruel to Indians that it disrupted the relationship with colonists and Indians. In conclusion Indians relations was a very big way colonists

Although new to the New Englanders, the American continent had already become the home of several different tribes of Native Americans, each with their own customs and beliefs. With these many different cultures, it became apparent to the new settlers that there would be tribes that could be negotiated with, and others that the new colony should mostly avoid. The Powhatan were one of these tribes as they attacked the colonists on multiple occasions in their first few years of their

The Transcontinental Railroad played a significant role in the settlement of the American West. As of May 10th, 1869, this railroad became the area’s newest and fastest mode of transportation. Its first obligation was to bring settlers in at very low

The relationships between the three major settlers and the Native Americans differed in many ways. All the evidence needed is in the seven documents shown. Each of the documents provides insight to one of the three nationalities. It is fair to assume that the English were focused more on friendship, the Spanish set their eyes on the gold, and the French were insistent on converting the Native Americans to Christianity.

“Some harshe and (cruel) dealinge by cutting of towe(two) of the Salvages heads and other extremetyes.”(Hume 61). The colonist’s bad relationship with the Native Americans led to many deaths. “Although still part of Powhatan’s Confederacy, the tribe had seen less of the English that had those closer at hand and with luck might be more friendly. And so it proved.”(Hume 61). The Natives did not trust the English, so they were hesitant about trading. In August, 1609, “Of 120 men stationed near the falls, the Indians kill “neere halfe”.”(Fausz 63). The Natives attacked the English because they did not like how the English treated them. “Of 100 men at Nansemond, Indians kill 50”(Fausz 63). The colonists learned not to mess with the Native Americans after these

English didn’t like Indians because English were too cocky about themselves, more technology, John Smith couldn’t find gold they blamed natives.. Jamestown survived from agricultural technology borrowed from British and created by Indians like corn value and

The English had come more prepared and well aware of what they were stepping into, they brought provisions and supplies, even though they struggled. It was not until the Jamestown settlement was established in 1607, a full twenty years after John White bade farewell to his colonists, that the next serious attempts where undertaken by the English to find out what happened to the colony in 1587 (Fullam 128). In early 1609, the Royal Council in England received shocking news from Jamestown that Wahunsunacock, Chief Powhatan, had slaughter the 1587 colonist (Fullman 155). Unfortunately, the Powhatan’s cooperation was necessary for the success of the colony (Fullman 157). But 1608, a letter from John Smith was delivered to the Royal Council with evidence that the Powhatan Indians weren’t connected to the Lost Colony. Smith was a very talented leader, but that moment was one of his falls backs, like when his gunpowder mishap caused him to return England in 1609, but his absence demonstrated how important he really was to Jamestown. Following his departure, Jamestown nearly collapsed but when the shipwrecked Sea Venture arrived in May of 1610, Jamestown was back on their feet (Fullam

Looking back to the 1500s, the English had been situating settlements in Ireland and used a familiar model in the New World. The early years of Jamestown were difficult for the settlers. The land was hot, humid, and mosquito-infested, and the settlers were mostly aristocrats and artisans that spent much of their time searching for gold. Those who didn’t die on the trip, died once they arrived from diseases and starvation. In 1607, about 3 ships-each holding more than 100 English passengers, arrived on the Chesapeake Bay region of Virginia. Settlers were excited, given that they would be the first permanent colony in the New World. Most settlers were in search for riches and others in search of a new home. Settlers ranged from the ages of 17 to 35 years old. The first years for the English settlers were harsh and devastating. By 1611, two-thirds of the settlement had died and all hope was lost for the settlers. The 3 main circumstances that caused a majority of English colonists at Jamestown to lose their lives were the environment, the social and religious conflicts with the Natives, and the lack of survival skills.

The central focus of my learning segment is about the two Indians tribes the Algonquin and the Iroquois. The content will be focused on the two tribes, their way of life, where they lived, and their different cultures. The goal of the unit is to teach notetaking skills that will last well into their future. Each lesson will touch on a different aspect of the tribe and will have embedded note taking strategies. Read alouds will be used to model the note taking strategies for the unit.

In American history, many overlook the violence that occurred when New England colonists encountered the Native Americans. When the New England colonists arrived in Plymouth in the 1620s and interacted with the Native Americans, they lived in peace with each other for more than 50 years. The colonists instigated a war with the natives to gain more land from the Native Americans and resulted with a massacre. This resulted in colonialism affecting the lives of colonists and Native Americans because both experienced forming an alliance, enduring social change, and deaths.

This episode shows the massacre at Mystic. This occurred on May 26, 1637, when Mystic Fort was attacked by the English settlers and their Indian allies. Mystic Fort in Connecticut was home to the Pequot Indians. This invasion/attack would affect the relationship and way the settlers and Indian felt about each other. During the battle, several hundred of the Pequot Indians were killed. Also, the ones who managed to not get killed in the beginning were killed when trying to escape.
