colonization in the new world

colonists settled british north america for different reasons. some came for profits; others came for religious freedom. for those colonies established for profit, the british crown granted charters to venturing proprietors or joint - stock companies. yet, whatever the reason for coming, whatever the type of colony, when english settlers arrived they encountered native populations and spanish and french settlements. significantly, african slavery altered the new world’s demographic profile in the early 1600s. interacting cultures within distinct geographic settings and economic circumstances resulted in unique histories for early colonies such as roanoke, jamestown, plymouth and south carolina. south carolina, for instance, capitalized on lowcountry rice cultivation through the labor of enslaved africans. further, south carolina withstood threats from the spanish in st. augustine and from warring natives such as the westo, yamasee, and cherokee. the histories of roanoke, jamestown, plymouth, and south carolina reveal four very different examples of british colonization in the new world.¹

roanoke

englands first attempt at american colonization took place at roanoke. a recognized failure, this venture began in 1584 with sir walter raleighs endeavor to increase the land held by the british empire. raleighs older half brother, sir humphrey gilbert, had previously voyaged across the atlantic and claimed newfoundland for the british crown; raleigh planned to continue that work. the roanoke adventure began as an exploration of virginia, named for elizabeth the virgin queen. attempts to settle virginia were made between 1585 and 1590. the most famous attempt at settlement took place in 1587, when a group of 150 colonists (women and children included) settled at roanoke along the outer banks of north carolina. at this time, the north carolina outer banks were recognized as part of virginia. the colonists, led by captain john white, expected only limited contact with britain, so they immediately established relations with local algonquians, with whom relations had fluctuated between helpful and confrontational. further, england was at war with spain, and pirates roamed the eastern seaboard seeking treasure.

captain john white left roanoke in 1587 in order to re - supply the colony with goods from england. upon his return in 1590, however, the people had vanished leaving inadequate clues as to where they went. white and company
