1.What was the primary purpose of the English settlement of Jamestown, and how successful were the colonists in achieving that goal in the first twenty years?
2.What features were common to all of England鈥檚 southern colonies, and what features were peculiar to each one?
3.In what ways did the relationship between whites and Indians (Powhatans) in Virginia establish the pattern for later white-Indian relations across North America?
4.How did the search for a viable labor force affect the development of the southern colonies? Why did African slavery almost immediately become the dominant labor system in South Carolina, while only slowly taking firm hold in England鈥檚 other southern colonies?
5.Which was the most important factor shaping the development of England鈥檚 southern colonies in the seventeenth century: Indian relations, the one-crop plantation economy, or slavery?
6.Compare and contrast the early colonial empires of Spain and England in terms of motives, economic foundations, and relations with Africans and Indians. What factors explain the similarities and differences in the two ventures?Can someone please help me with my APUSH homework? I would really appreciate the help.?
1. Jamestown was made as economically by the Virginia Company from England. It fared horribly, most people died either on the trip or the first winter.
2. All S colonies were plantation colonies. They exported in agriculture. South Carolina was rich and aristocratic, North Carolina was a "squatter" colony.
3. It did not fare well... it set the precedence of fights and tricking them
4. The labor force was small, so they relied on indentured servants, then slaves. SC had slaves quickly because they followed the example of the Barbados Slave Code
5. Plantation economy was the most important. The plantation economy was what caused the need to expand for more land, leading them to have conflicts with natives. The plantation economy also caused the need for slaves
6. England was now the major naval power. Spain was declining. England's were pretty well off for now (this will change with the French and Indian War). English colonists were faring relatively poorly though. They were extremely dependent economically and had a bad history of conflicts. English colonized mainly for religious purposes, and personal gain. Spain colonized for riches.
