? PAGE ?1? CHAPTER 3: THE BRITISH EMPIRE IN AMERICA, 1660-1750 THE POLITICS OF EMPIRE, 1660-1713 The Great Aristocratic Land Grab: Charles II gave land of the Carolinas to aristocratic friends, and the land between the Delaware and Connecticut rivers to his brother James, Duke of New York. The administrators of the new colonies created traditional social order, consisting of a gentry class and an established Church of England. The Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina (1669) set down regulations of a manorial system. (See terms) South Carolina remained a poorly governed and violent-stricken settlement until the 1720?s due to conflicts with Indian slaves. Pennsylvania was a place for Quaker refugees to flee to after persecutions in England occurred.

Chapter 04 - American Life in the Seventeenth Century I. The Unhealthy Chesapeake 1. Life in the American wilderness was harsh. 2. Diseases like malaria, dysentery, and typhoid killed many. 3. Few people lived to 40 or 50 years. 4. In the early days of colonies, women were so scarce that men fought over all of them. The Chesapeake region had fewer women and a 6:1 male to female ratio is a good guide. 5. Few people knew any grandparents. 6. A third of all brides in one Maryland county were already pregnant before the wedding (scandalous). 7. Virginia, with 59,000 people, became the most populous colony. II. The Tobacco Economy 1.

Name Teacher AP U.S. History 10 September, 2013 Chapter 4 American Life in the Seventeenth Century The Unhealthy Chesapeake Life of Americans living in the Wilderness Life was hard, short, and very unforgiving for the earliest of settlers in the Chesapeake. There were many diseases like malaria, dysentery, and typhoid that the settlers encountered. The diseases and harsh life shortened life expectancy of the settlers by as much as 10 years for newcomers from England. There was slow population growth during the 1600s in the Chesapeake. Most immigrants were young males from England. Many of them died after arrival from England. There were very few women, and most men could not find mates. There were very few families. The Colony endures its struggle.
