  20. JAMESTOWN SURVIVED BECAUSE… COLONY STRUCTURE – fort-like to keep Native Americans out.

  21. JAMESTOWN SURVIVED BECAUSE… REINFORCEMENTS – Many more came to settle than were dying. • Year Arrive • 1619 - - - • 1620 100 (est) • 1621 1,051 • 1624 4,000 Population 1,000 866 843 1,277

  22. JAMESTOWN SURVIVED BECAUSE… NATIVE AMERICANS – The Powhatan Tribe help them gain the food they needed to survive.

  23. JAMESTOWN SURVIVED BECAUSE… TOBACCO – John Rolfe learned to grow a less bitter kind, giving them a profitable crop.

  24. GOVERNMENT – • - 1608 - Capitan John Smith instilled military rule forcing colonists to work. • 1609 – Lord De La Warr continued it (heard of Delaware?) • 1619 – Sir George Yeardly started a House of Burgesses

  25. BURGESSES - Elected assembly to make laws for the colony

  26. As the colony grew, their walls expanded

  27. Excavation at the original site is still occurring today!

  28. Pocahontas • Agonquin Indian • Powhatan Tribe This is an original engraving by Simon van de Passe, from which an oil painting was later made. This is the only surviving portrait made during her lifetime, published in 1616. Therefore, it is the most accurate.

  29. Pocahontas Father was Chief Powhatan Saved John Smith? This picture shows the original engraving enhanced with color.

  30. Pocahontas -Converts to Christianity (Rebecca) This painting is a later copy of an engraving made during her London visit of 1616. It flatters and Europeanizes her more than does the original engraving, which failed to capture her celebrated allure.

  31. Pocahontas • Married John Rolfe Some say this painting of Pocahontas and her son Thomas, which has been preserved for centuries, is the most accurate depiction of her.

  32. Pocahontas -Visits Europe (Big Deal) - Develops Pneumonia on the trip back America has viewed Pocahontas more like this photo of O’Orianka Kilcher who played her in the 2005 movie “The New World”.

  33. Pocahontas - Dies at 22 (1617) “Tis enough that the child liveth” Then Disney gets a hold of a character and really distorts reality to try and sell action figures!
