Colonization/Roanoke
Subject:
The bleak coast of Newfoundland was the scene of the first English attempt at colonization. This effort collapsed when its promoter, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, lost his life at sea in 1583. Gilbert?s ill-starred dream inspired his half brother, Sir Walter Raleigh, to try again in warmer climes. Raleigh organized a group of settlers who landed in 1585 on North Carolina?s Roanoke Island, off the coast of Virginia (named by the ?Virgin Queen? Elizabeth in honor of herself). With Raleigh busy at home, the Roanoke colony mysteriously vanished, swallowed up by the wilderness; the lost colony.

Although New England and Chesapeake colonies had settlers originating from the same old world countries, the areas they settled in were very diverse. New England and Chesapeake contrasted in religion, politics, and geographically. Considering these factors with New England and Chesapeake colonies, these distinctions caused the colonies to grow very differently.

Conway ? PAGE ?1? Conway ? PAGE ?2? Aileen Conway Mrs. Winter AP U.S. History/Period One August 27, 2010 Differences Between the Original Colonies It has been said that the original European colonies established in North America were more similar than they were different, but is that broad statement actually true? Although the colonies were bound together by a common language and allegiance to Mother England, as they began to develop the southern, middle, and New England colonies took on unique identities. By the time they were firmly established the colonies differed in geography, climate, landholding, religion, government, and economy.
