These three regions are:

"New England "

Middle or Mid Atlantic

Southern

Today we will do further research into the

similarities and differences between each
colonial region

The class will be split in half

Each half will have 3 groups
Each group is responsible for researching
one colonial region

Aim: How did the English Colonial

regions differ?
Do Now : Explain why the 13 colonies can be
broken into 3 distinct and separate
geographical regions?
Recall: What are those three regions
Have your HW out. We need it for todays

Traveling to the new world is VERY expensive

The poorest of Europe, who wanted to start a new life,
could not afford to pay for the travel.
Many became indentured
servants to pay for the
journey

Indentured
- A person
whose passage to
What

America was paid for by someone else. They would pay

this person back by working their land for 5-7 years

Indentured Servants
Indentured servants ,irst arrived in America in the decade
following the settlement of Jamestown by the Virginia company in
1607. The idea of Indentured servitude was born of a need for
cheap labor. The earliest settlers soon realized that they had lost of
land to care for, but no one to care for it. The Virginia Company
developed the system of indentured Servitudes to attract workers.
Indentured servitude became vital to the colonial economy.
The timing of the Virginia colony was ideal. A new life in the
New World offered a glimmer of hope which explains how on half
to two thirds of the immigrants who came to the American
colonies arrived as indentured servants.
Servants typically worked for four to seven years in exchange
for passage, room, board, lodging, and freedom dues. While the life
of an indentured servant was harsh and restrictive , it wasnt
slavery. There were laws that protected some of their rights. An
indentured servants contract could be extended as punishment
for breaking a law, such as running away, or in the case of female
servants, becoming pregnant.
For those that survived the work and received their freedom,
many argue that they were better off than those new immigrants
who came freely to the country. Their contract may have included
at least 25 acres of land, a years worth of corn, guns, cow and new
clothes. Some servants did rise to become part of the colonial elite,
but the majority of indentured servants did rise to become part of
the colonial elite, but for the majority of indentured servants that
survived the journey by sea and the harsh conditions a modest life
was an accomplishment.
In 1619 the ,irst black Africans came to Virginia. With no slave
laws in place, they were initially treated as indentured servants,
and given the same opportunities for freedom dues as whites.
However, slave laws soon passed.
As demands for labor grew , so did the cost of indentured
servants. Many landowners also felt threatened by newly freed
servants demand for land. The colonial elite realized the problems
of indentured servitude. Landowners turned to African slaves as a
more pro,itable and ever renewable source of labor and the shift
from servants indentured servants to racial slavery begun.
