Colonial America Time timeline.

Roanoke is the first British settlement. It is known as the "lost colony" and is located in Virginia. Men, women, and children settled on Roanoke Island with John White as their leader. After they settled, White went back to England to gather supplies. When he returned, the island was deserted and White thought that the settlers were living with the Indians because of messages they left. He was never able to find out and so he returned to England. White never returned to America.

In Virginia, only a few of the settlers survived the first, harsh winter. John Smith was Jamestown’s leader and said that those who didn’t work couldn’t eat. The colonists tried to leave, but were met by a ship with supplies and more colonists, so they returned to Jamestown. To make money, John Wolfe and Pocahontas grew tobacco. The Virginia Company offered free land to settlers, and indentured servants could work a certain number of years in return for food, clothing, shelter, and passage.

The British government barely supervised trade. So, the Navigation Acts were passed, but the colonists just ignored them. It's believed that Robert Walope and Duke of Newscastle were the creators of salutary neglect. Walope thought that if no trade rules were made, then the colonies would flourish. Other sources say that the British officials were simply too busy to enforce trade laws.

Form of government contributed the most to the distinction of colonization between Spain and France. The House of Burgesses was the first legislature in North America with elected representatives and was established by George Yeardley in Virginia. Property owners were the only ones who could vote to elect representatives. In 1614, Virginia became a royal colony under King James 1 after Virginia Company's charter was revoked.

The English puritans migrated to West Indies, Chesapeake, and New England. They left because they were under religious persecution and economic troubles. Non-separatist Puritans wanted to keep the church how it was and separatists wanted to separate from the church. After living in Holland, the separatists sought out for people to fund their journey to the New World. They traveled on the Mayflower to Massachusetts and established Plymouth Colony.

The Pilgrims set sail on the Mayflower to settle Plymouth Colony. They anchored at Cape Cod, then decided to settle in a Wampanoag community. They established the Mayflower Compact, which was the first self-government plan in the colonies, and it stated that the decisions would be made by a majority of the men. The pilgrims met Squanto, who helped them communicate with the tribal leaders. In fall of 1621, the Pilgrims had their first harvest, which is how Thanksgiving came about.

New York is a Middle Colony and was settled by the Dutch. Henry Hudson explored the New Netherlands area for the Dutch East India Company and claimed the Netherlands. Landholders were given land that they could rent out to tenant farmers. In 1664, the British seized the Netherlands with a naval fleet and the Dutch surrendered without fighting. The territory then belonged to the Duke of York, and the Dutch recaptured the area, but it immediately returned to British control.

Puritans settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony with a charter from King Charles 1. They were led by Governor John Winthrop, who believed that they should act as a model for other colonies. Puritan laws were tied to the Puritan church. Dissenters, those who didn't follow Puritan laws, were sometimes punished with fines, humiliation, and execution. Some formed other colonies. In 1643, English settlers joined the Puritans, but the Puritans remained in power. This became a royal colony.

Maryland is a Southern Colony and was settled by Lord Baltimore. Maryland was a proprietary colony, which meant that it was governed by individuals who were given land in return for political favors, and the owner of the colony was the ruler. Baltimore died before he could do anything with the land so his son, Cecil Calvert, took over. He offered 100 acres of land to all married couples that settled in Maryland. Protestants took advantage of this offer, so Maryland became mostly Protestant.

Rhode Island is a New England Colony and was settled by Roger Williams and his supporters in 1635. Roger Williams was banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony because he spoke out against the government's acts of punishing religious dissention and against the confiscation of Native American lands. He eventually found Rhode Island where there was no persecution of the Christian religion.

Thomas Hooker founded Connecticut, a New England Colony. John Winthrop wrote to Thomas while he was in Holland and asked him to come to Massachusetts. Hooker was allowed to leave and founded the river towns of Hartford, Windsor, and Wethersfield. Citizenship was based off of land ownership, not religion, and "Fundamental Orders of Connecticut" was the first written Constitution in America.

The Maryland Toleration Act granted religious freedom for Catholics in Maryland. It forbade blasphemy against God, and it forbade the act of belittling other religions. It provided to honor the Sabbath. Leonard Calvert was the governor of the colony. Since he and his father, George Calvert were Catholic, the law was interpreted as a means of giving Catholics religious freedom, but it did just the opposite.

Carolina is a southern colony and was settled by supporters of King Charles II. People settled in the Carolinas to grow cash crops like tobacco, which were grown for selling purposes rather than for the farmer's use. These crops required a ton of labor. Eventually, by 1720, African slaves outnumbered the Europeans 2:1 in this settlement. In 1729, Carolina became a royal colony and split into North and South Carolina.

Nathaniel Bacon put together an army of poor farmers and slaves to retaliate against the Native American attacks on the Virginia frontier. As a result, Governor William Berkeley gathered an army to fight back. Bacon and his men attacked Jamestown, and the rebellion ended after Bacon died from dysentery. This was the first colonial rebellion against a royal power, white farmers and landholders were given more rights, and laws making Africans hereditary slaves were passed.

Pennsylvania is a Middle Colony and was settled by William Penn. King Charles granted William Penn a charter for Pennsylvania. Penn established the colony as a place where every male settler received the right to vote and 50 acres of land. In the 1600s, his colony became a haven for Quakers and he also became a Quaker. Quakers were made fun of for their simplicity of clothing. They were pacifist and rejected the oaths of the church. The Society of Friends, or Quakers, was established in 1647.

Witchcraft is the belief that the devil gave witches power to harm others in return for their loyalty, and it caused hysteria to spread throughout New England. A slave named Tituba and beggars were arrested and accused of bewitching girls who were having fits. They were brought before a trial and questioned. Eventually, William Phips established a court specifically for witchcraft cases, and people were hung if found guilty.

Wealth was dominating the culture of the American colonies, so Christians began to crave prayer. The goal was to renew the Christian faith. Johnathan Edwards preached that all humans were sinners judged by an angry God. George Whitefield preached in a theatrical manner throughout the Atlantic coast. They and many leaders helped reenergize the Christian faith. New denominations grew quickly, and people made personal connections with God.

The Albany Plan was intended to place the colonies under a unified government. All colonies, except for Georgia and Delaware, were united. The "Grand Council" and an appointed "president general" would solve territorial colonial disputes and regulate colonial-Indian relations. The plan didn't end up becoming a reality because the colonial governments feared that they would lose power and territory.

France built where the Allegheny and Monongahela River joined the Ohio River, and the British repeatedly attacked. The French won many victories, defeating George Washington, Governor William Shirley, and Gen. Edward Braddock. The British declared war in 1756 but Lord Loudon, their commander, was defeated by France and the Indians. William Pit, the new leader, helped the British win their first victory.

Proclamation of 1763 was created to make a boundary to separate British colonies on the Atlantic coast from American Indian lands. King George III declared that all lands west of the Appalachain Mountains were off limits to colonial settlers. Citizens and the government couldn't make agreements with the Natives, and only licensed traders could travel west. This was intended to protect Native Americans from attacks.
