In the spring of 1607, a group of 105 colonists, funded by the Virginia Company, arrived in Virginia. They sailed into Chesapeake Bay and began building houses along the James River. They named their tiny outpost Jamestown after their king. The settlers of Jamestown hoped to make a profit by finding gold or other riches. They also hoped to discover a water route to Asia. Further, they wanted to claim the region for England.
The colonists soon discovered that Jamestown was located in a swampy area. The water was unhealthy, and mosquitoes spread malaria. Many settlers suffered or died from disease. Historians have long debated the reason the settlers chose the location they did. One of the main reasons was security: they located their settlement in a place where Spanish ships would be unlikely to find them. If the Spanish did discover Jamestown, its location would make it difficult for Spanish ships to fire directly at the settlement.

France took the lead in colonizing the Upper Midwest region. From the early sixteenth century on, French soldiers, missionaries and fur traders left their slight mark upon the St. Lawrence valley, the upper Great Lakes and points west. For the early French explorers, the more continent they discovered the more their hopes were frustrated. They had hoped that the vast St. Lawrence-Great Lakes waterway was part of a Northwest Passage to the wealth of the Orient. The French presence was asserted by a network of forts, trading posts and missions dotting the lake and river routes traversing the continental interior.

Identify Central Issues - Explain why the Pilgrims’ government came about and why its existence was important
GPT 3.5
The central issue surrounding the formation of the Pilgrims' government was the need for organization and governance within their newly established colony. The Pilgrims, who were seeking religious freedom, had arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620. They found themselves in an unfamiliar and challenging environment, lacking established laws and a system of government.
The Pilgrims' government came about as a means to establish order and ensure the well-being and survival of the colony. With the Mayflower Compact, the Pilgrims voluntarily agreed to establish a government and abide by its laws. This compact was a significant step as it created a social contract amongst the settlers, allowing for collective decision-making and the establishment of a form of self-government.
The existence of the Pilgrims' government was important for several reasons. Firstly, it provided a framework for governance, ensuring that laws were created and enforced for the benefit of the community. It allowed the Pilgrims to establish a sense of order and security within their new colony.
Additionally, the existence of a government enabled the Pilgrims to maintain social cohesion and resolve disputes effectively. It provided a means to address conflicts and establish a system of justice. This was crucial for maintaining peace and harmony within the community and preventing potential chaos or unrest.
Furthermore, the Pilgrims' government played a role in fostering a sense of unity and collective identity among the settlers. Through their participation in the government, the Pilgrims had a voice in shaping the laws and regulations that governed them. This sense of self-governance and participation in decision-making helped create a strong sense of community and shared responsibility.
In summary, the Pilgrims' government came about to address the need for organization and governance within the colony. Its existence was important as it provided a framework for order, resolution of disputes, and collective decision-making, fostering unity and a sense of community among the settlers.
