Name ______________________________________________________________

Colonists Here, There

Colonists here, colonists there

Colonists, colonists, everywhere

Persecuted colonists worshiping freely,

Destitute colonists emigrating expectantly,

Industrious colonists governing democratically,

Compassionate colonists coexisting respectfully.

Colonists among indigenous people,

Colonists across the Atlantic Ocean,

Colonists on southern plantations,

Colonists near dense forests.

Colonists here, colonists there

Colonists, colonists, everywhere

Colonists! Colonists! Colonists!

Written by: Frey, Hammer, Lindholm

Native American Bugaloo

I’m an indigenous person and I’m here to say,

I was here first, making my way.

We’ve lived upon this land for thousands of years

Don’t make me move, I’ll shed some tears.

Iroquois, Mohican, Cherokee too

Doin’ the Native American Bugaloo

Nanticoke and Pocomoke pits of crab and oysters,

Wampanoag children nut and berry gatherers

Lenape harvest crops, food from the land

Narragansett hunted mammoth with a strong hand.

Hunters, farmers, fishermen too

Doin’ the Native American Bugaloo

Algonquian language let them speak and trade

Choctaw ancestors mound houses they made

Susquehannock waging war was their desire

Onondaga served as keepers of the fire.

Wigwams, canoes, wampum beads too

Doin’ the Native American Bugaloo

European explorers brought epidemics galore

Measles, small pox, plagues and more

Millions of native people lost their lives

150 of the Piscataway tribe survived.

Creek, Wappinger, Chickasaw too

Doin’ the Native American Bugaloo

Written by: Frey, Hammer, Lindholm

A new life that’s good as gold,

Emigrate from far away,

Build a colony that’s here to stay!

Margaret Brent arrived in Maryland in 1638, with her sister and 2 brothers. They were members of a strong Catholic family in Gloucestershire, England, and chose to immigrate to Maryland because it was known as a Catholic refuge. They came with instructions from Lord Baltimore of England to grant them land in Maryland, and settled in the town called St. Mary’s.

Her decision to emigrate from England to Maryland was not so unique; what was unusual was her coming as head of her own household and not as an appendage of her brothers. Her brothers emigrated to seek opportunities in business and public affairs not available to them in England as Catholics and younger sons; Margaret may have emigrated to escape the constraints of her life in England.

Most women looked to their husbands for support and protection, but Margaret never married. Instead, she became a successful businesswoman and earned the respect of the Governor Leonard Calvert.

The early investors in Maryland were entrepreneurs. They brought in settlers, developed land, and raised tobacco for an international market. Margaret Brent was no exception. She had her own residence and was active in importing and selling servants and lending capital to incoming settlers. In general she handled her business affairs as a man would have done and without assistance from her brothers.

Fifteen years after the first settlers arrived, the Maryland settlement faced a severe crisis. In 1645, the civil war raging in England between Charles I and Parliament spilled over into Maryland. Richard Ingle, a Protestant, invaded St. Mary’s City, destroyed the property of Catholic settlers, and took the Jesuit priests and Margaret’s brother back to England in chains. After the battle, Maryland Colony was left with only 100 people! Not only that, but the governor fled to Virginia!

Governor Leonard Calvert returned to Maryland in 1646 with soldiers to reestablish control. He realized he had come close to losing his colony. However, in 1647 he suddenly died with his own and Maryland’s affairs still in turmoil. On his deathbed he appointed Thomas Green as Governor, but made Margaret Brent his executor with instructions to “take all, pay all.”

There is no doubt that Margaret Brent’s courage and diplomacy were important to Maryland’s survival at that moment. The soldiers were clamoring for their pay; there was a shortage of food. Leonard Calvert had pledged his whole Maryland estate to pay the soldiers but his assets were insufficient.

Margaret then attempted something that no woman had ever done before: On January 21, 1648, she went to the all-male Provincial Court and asked that she legally be named the power of attorney in Gov Leonard’s place. Her request was granted. Margaret then took it a step further. She asked the assembly for the right to vote on important issues regarding future decisions on how the colony should be run. The assembly, particularly the new governor, was not ready to give such power to a woman and turned down her request. She did, however, use Governor Leonard’s money to pay the soldiers and buy them food. For that, she was a hero!

In England, Lord Baltimore was furious. Far away in England, he had no clear understanding of the problems in Maryland. The members of the Maryland assembly understood the importance of Margaret’s achievement. They wrote to Lord Baltimore, “…the colony’s safety at that time was better in her hands than in any man’s hands…she treated the soldiers with civility. She deserves your favor and thanks.” Possibly because of Lord Baltimore's displeasure, in 1649 Margaret and her brother Giles, who had also fallen out of the Calvert's favor, moved to Virginia. She acquired a large tract of land, which she named "Peace" and lived there until her death in 1671.

At historic St. Mary’s City today, there is a memorial to Margaret Brent, which mentions the scene where she asked the assembly for “vote and voice.” Margaret Brent did not succeed in becoming the first woman in America to gain the right to vote, but she was a remarkable woman who helped protect the stability of Maryland and ensure the colony's survival. She deserves recognition for her independence and her brave actions in appearing before the Assembly and doing all in her power to preserve control of the colony.

The important thing about colonization is that people make decisions about where they settle based on their wants and needs.

By the mid-1700s, Great Britain had 13 colonies in North America. There were three regions within the colonies: the New England Colonies, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies.

People came to each of the colonial regions for different reasons. Each region had its own geography. Each region offered settlers special choices and ways of life.

But the important thing about colonization is these people made decisions about where they settle based on their wants and needs.

The important thing about colonization is that people make decisions about where they settle based on their wants and needs.

The New England region included the colonies of Massachusetts Bay, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. It had rocky soil, dense forests, and natural harbors that gave easy access to the sea.

New England’s economy was built on small farms, lumbering, fishing, shipbuilding, and trade.

Most New England colonists were Puritans. They wanted to change the practices of the Church of England, or the Anglican Church. Religion was an important part of their lives.

But the important thing about colonization is these people made decisions about where they settled based on their wants and needs.

The important thing about colonization is that people make decisions about where they settle based on their wants and needs.

Roger Williams was a Puritan minister who did not always follow Puritan ways. He believed in freedom of religion.

While in Massachusetts in 1631, Williams befriended the Wampanoag people. He believed Native Americans should be allowed to follow their own religion.

In 1635, the Puritan leaders decided to force Williams to leave Massachusetts. He fled south to Rhode Island, where the Narragansett helped him regain his health and sold him land. On this land Williams founded Providence Plantation, because he was grateful for “God’s merciful providence.”

But the important thing about Roger Williams is that his decision to settle in Rhode Island was to have religious freedom.

The Middle Colonies included New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. This region had rich soil. Farmers raised livestock and grew crops. They sold pork, beef, wheat, and barley (a type of grain) to other colonies.

The Middle Colonies had a diverse population. The region’s strong economy attracted people from other European countries besides Great Britain, such as Germany and Ireland. These people practiced many different religious beliefs.

But the important thing about colonization is these people made decisions about where they settled based on their wants and needs.

William Penn was a Quaker leader. Quakers did not believe in war and believed that everyone was equal in God’s eyes. They valued honesty, hard work, and education.

King Charles II gave William Penn a charter for a new colony in North America, called Pennsylvania. William wanted to call it Sylvania, which means “forest”, the king added Penn at the beginning to honor William’s father.

Penn owned more English land than anyone except the king. To lure settlers to Pennsylvania, Penn sent pamphlets around Europe advertising his new colony. “Let men be good, and the governments cannot be bad,” Penn wrote. There would be schools for all children in Penn’s colony.

But the important thing about William Penn is that his decision to settle in Pennsylvania came from his desire to make a colony where all people could live equally and govern themselves.

The Southern Colonies included Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. This region’s geography favored cash crops. Rich men came to this region from Great Britain. They grew cash crops such as tobacco and rice on plantations.

Plantations needed many workers. At first, landowners used American Indians and indentured servants to plant and harvest plantation crops. Indentured servants also worked in other places in the colonies. Soon, Southern landowners began to replace these workers with enslaved Africans.

But the important thing about colonization is these people made decisions about where they settled based on their wants and needs.

The important thing about colonization is that people make decisions about where they settle based on their wants and needs.

As a member of Britain’s parliament, James Edward Oglethorpe used his authority to send people from the debtors’ prison to America for a new start. In 1732, King George II signed a charter founding Georgia, which provided the land for the debtors.

Georgia was the youngest and poorest of the colonies. As the demand for cotton fabric increased in England, growing cotton quickly became the most important industry in Georgia.

Originally when Georgia was founded Oglethorpe did not permit slavery. But as cotton became the most important crop, the colonists demanded that slavery be allowed. Many white Georgians grew wealthy using slave labor.

But the important thing about James Oglethorpe is that his decision to settle in Georgia was to give debtors a fresh start.

The important thing about colonization is that people make decisions about where they settle based on their wants and needs.

Several factors made the three regions different. Geography, climate, and type of soil affected what crops could be grown there. These natural resources led to the growth of certain industries.

Even though colonies’ governments and laws varied, many colonists experienced more democracy than they had known in Great Britain and other European countries.

There were different reasons for founding each of the colonies. Some settlers sought religious freedom. Others came in search of wealth or to escape from debt. Slave traders forced enslaved Africans to come to these regions.

But the important thing about colonization is these people made decisions about where they settled based on their wants and needs.

Rhode Island: New England Colony

From its start, Rhode Island offered people religious freedom. In 1631, a young minister named Roger Williams began to criticize the Puritan leaders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He thought that government and religion should be separate. These leaders forced him to leave the colony in 1635. Williams spent the winter with some American Indians. In 1636, he started a town called Providence. It later became the capital of Rhode Island. Rhode Island welcomed people with different religious beliefs. Puritan Anne Hutchinson also lived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. She spoke out against some Puritan practices and beliefs. In 1637, she was put on trial for her religious ideas. The court found her guilty and forced her to leave the colony. She, too, moved to what became part of Rhode Island. There she could practice her beliefs.

Rhode Island’s geography helped colonists build a strong economy. Narragansett Bay and local rivers provided fish and routes for travel and trade. Men trapped animals and traded the furs. The forests supplied timber. The soil in southern Rhode Island was good for farming. Winters were sometimes harsh. But summer rains helped crops grow.

Many Rhode Island colonists were farmers. They raised livestock. They grew corn, apples, and onions on small farms. Other colonists were traders. Ships from Rhode Island carried rum, wool and flax. Flax is a plant from which linen cloth and oil are made. Traders sold these goods in England and in the West Indies. Some colonists became rich in the trade of enslaved West Africans, even though few Rhode Island colonists themselves owned slaves.

Rhode Island was one of the most democratic colonies. At first, most men could vote for the colony’s governor and local officials. Later on, only men who owned property could vote. But voters did not have to practice a certain religion.

An interesting fact about the Rhode Island colony is that when the colonists first arrived, they maintained a 40 year friendship with the Narragansett people. Rhode Island was given the nickname “Rogue Island” because other colonists were shocked by their lack of religious rules and they thought they were troublemakers. Piracy was big business because it paid better than being a merchant. Of all the colonies, Rhode Island, valued education the least. The village blacksmith often also acted as dentist. He was usually the only one who had pliers- for pulling teeth!

New York: Middle Colony

The colony that the British named New York was first settled by people from the Netherlands. The Netherlands (often called Holland) is a country in northern Europe. Its people are the Dutch. The Dutch came to the area to set up fur-trading posts. The British, however, wanted this land for themselves so that British settlers in New England could move westward. In 1664, the British captured the colony. England’s king gave the land to his brother, the Duke of York.

New York’s geography made it a good place to settle. New York Harbor was ideal for shipping and trade. The valleys of the Hudson and Mohawk rivers were well suited to farming and trade. Iron, a useful mineral, was found in this region. Winters in New York were cold, and summers were hot and humid (moist). But there were long growing seasons in the valleys and along the coast. So farming was easier here than in New England.

New York’s economy offered colonists good jobs in many industries. Farmers grew wheat, corn, vegetables, and tobacco. Other colonists became miners, lumbermen, sailors, trappers, and merchants. Some workers were indentured servants or enslaved Africans.

Colonists had little power in New York’s government. Governors appointed by the king were controlled by England. The governor appointed other officials and enforced the laws.

An interesting fact in New York is that by 1664 records say that 18 different languages were spoken in the colony. You might think Starbucks was the first coffee house, but in 1750 New Yorkers where already gathering to drink coffee, visit, and read newspapers. The term “bury the hatchet” comes from Deganawida, the peace maker, who literally buried weapons in order to create peace among the Iroquois people.

Pennsylvania: Middle Colony

Quakers were another religious group whose beliefs differed from those of other churches. Quakers had no priests or ministers. They would not fight in wars. English Quaker William Penn was jailed several times for his beliefs. He wanted to start a colony where Quakers could live safely. In 1681, England’s King Charles II granted land in North America to Penn. Penn founded Pennsylvania there. Penn welcomed people from many countries to his colony. They practiced different religions. Penn also treated American Indians with respect. Therefore, they lived in peace with the colonists. Although many Quakers opposed slavery, Penn permitted people to bring enslaved Africans to the colony.

Pennsylvania’s geography provided many resources. The Delaware River Valley had rich soil for farming. There were forests for timber. Other raw materials included coal and minerals like iron and copper. Rivers offered easy transportation. Winters were cold and snowy, but the climate did not discourage colonists.

The colony developed a strong economy. There were jobs in many industries. Farmers raised dairy cattle. They also grew wheat and vegetables such as corn. People worked as miners, lumbermen, and merchants. Many Quaker merchants and farmers became rich.

The king approved Penn’s appointment of the colony’s governor. A General Assembly met to pass or reject laws made by a council. All men who owned property could vote for members of the Assembly. In 1696, the colony became more democratic when the elected members of the Assembly gained the power to write laws.

An interesting fact about Pennsylvania is that Philadelphia was the largest city in the colonies, and its name means “city of brotherly love”. After the death of William Penn, his sons stole Lenape’s land and sold it to settlers for a profit. Benjamin Franklin, who we think of as the inventor of the lightening rod, had many firsts in Pennsylvania: 1st postmaster, and he started the 1st hospital, fire department, and university.

Maryland: Southern Colony

Cecilius Calvert, an English nobleman also known as Lord Baltimore, started the colony of Maryland in 1634. He hoped to make money from the colony. Lord Baltimore also wanted to provide a safe place for Catholics like himself. In England and in some of the colonies, Catholics were treated harshly.

Maryland’s geography was well suited for planting and selling tobacco. This crop grew well in the hot, steamy summers. Chesapeake Bay was a route to the ocean for most settlers. Farmers near the bay could ship their crops to England and other places. Unfortunately, the climate also encouraged mosquitoes that spread deadly diseases.

There were many kinds of jobs in the colony. Most colonists worked on small farms. They grew tobacco, corn, wheat, and fruit trees. Some farmers raised cattle for beef and milk. Other industries included lumbering, shipping, and fishing. Some men made money by buying and selling slaves. Some wealthy families owned tobacco plantations. Enslaved Africans and indentured servants did most of the work there.

Most colonists had little power in Maryland’s government. Lord Baltimore made his brother, Leonard Calvert, the governor of the colony. At first, Calvert made the decisions. Then, in 1637, he allowed the colony to have an assembly. For the most part, only white men with property voted for members of the assembly. Over time, more non-Catholics moved to the colony. Calvert had the assembly pass a law to protect Catholics’ right to vote and to serve in the government. These rights were denied to Catholics in some of the other colonies.

An interesting fact in Maryland is that not all kids could go to school, only the richest! Others had to work hard, girls had to help their mothers pick vegetables, cook, and clean; boys helped their fathers care for animals and crops. When Leonard Calvert arrived in Maryland in 1634 the Piscataway tribe included nearly 2000 members, 20 short years later only 150 remained because of the many diseases Europeans brought with them. After leaving England two ships, the Ark and the Dove, lost each other in a storm. It took them more than six weeks to find each other!

Georgia: Southern Colony

The Southern Colony of Georgia was started in 1732 for two main reasons. First, the British government wanted to keep Spanish troops from moving north from Florida. Second, James Oglethorpe, a wealthy British man wanted to help poor people avoid going to debtors’ prison. A debtor is someone who owes something to another person. At that time, people went to jail if they could not pay their bills. Sending debtors to Georgia rather than to jail gave them a new start. They had a chance to earn a living in the new colony. Oglethorpe was sent with 120 settlers to start the Georgia colony.

Georgia’s geography was ideal for growing certain crops. Farming became the key industry in the colony. Winters were mild. Summers were long, hot, and humid. This climate was good for growing indigo, a plant used to make blue dye. The southern part of Georgia was mostly swamp. This land was ideal for growing rice. Later on, farmers grew tobacco and cotton.

People in Georgia also had other jobs. In the north, settlers cut down forests. They sold the lumber for homes. Then they used the cleared areas as farmland. Some colonists earned a living by trading goods with American Indians.

At first, only the rich men who had started the colony took part in running the government. They passed laws that they thought were best for the colony. They did not permit slavery. In 1752, however, these men turned control of the colony over to Great Britain’s King George II. The king allowed white male voters to elect an assembly. However, he could overturn any law the assembly passed. New laws made slavery legal, and it soon became widespread.

An interesting fact about Georgia is each person who emigrated from England to Georgia got a package deal: free boat ticket, tools, seeds, and land. Oglethorpe thought the sickness in Savannah was caused by drinking rum, so in 1733 he stopped rum trading in the colony. Not only was Georgia named after King George II, but on his birthday the colonists raised the British flag and fired guns into the air to celebrate. One Georgia law said all people had to take guns to church in case of an attack from American Indians and the Spanish.
