|Unit Overview |

|The first unit of American History 1 examines European exploration and the settlement of the 13 English Colonies through the lenses of exploration, settlement, |

|immigration, and freedom. |

| |

|Age of Exploration: |

|European exploration resulted from a combination of new innovations/ideas and a desire for economic and political power. A variety of events, including revolutions|

|and reform movements, affected both the exploration and colonization goals of European countries. The geographic location and economic benefit of colonial |

|settlements varied from nation to nation, which impacted their ability to maintain and increase their economic and political power. |

| |

|13 English Colonies: |

|England’s American colonies formed on the Atlantic coast of North America, with its first successful colony in Jamestown, Virginia. The next two English colonies |

|to develop, the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colony, both of which were located in Massachusetts, were established as a response to religious persecution. Due to|

|the Protestant Reformation, religious conflict increased in Europe and several religious groups sought religious freedom by immigrating to the New World. Overtime,|

|this desire for freedom and hope of beginning a new life will become the foundation of the “American Dream”. In Virginia and Massachusetts, the colonists |

|flourished with some assistance from American Indians; yet, the differing views of land usage and ownership lead to numerous conflicts between the two groups. As a|

|result of the diverse backgrounds of the colonists and the geographic conditions of each settlement, the 13 Colonies developed distinct religious, economic, and |

|political characteristics. |

| |

|Consolidation of the British Empire: |

|Increased immigration into the 13 Colonies furthered the cultural diversity within the colonies, which led to a development of a distinct social hierarchy and |

|increased conflict. Colonists strived for economic success, often at the expense of others. The continued economic success of the colonies helped increase |

|Britain’s power across the globe. |
