The Colonial Time to the End of the 18th Century. CHAPTER I. The Settlement Of Tidewater Virginia. 'N the history of German immigration to the English colonies of North America during the last century Virginia takes a prominent share," says the late Vice-Governor of Illinois, Gustav Koerner,1) and he might have dated this statement hack to the earliest time of colonization. The early immigration of Germans to Virginia differs essentially, it must be admitted, from that under the leadership of Win. Perin and Franz Pastorius to Pennsylvania, for unlike these it was not organized or compact. With the forenamed there came at once a large number of Germans to the New World, numerous additions followed and they kept together and founded German settlements which have preserved their national character to this day. But into Virginia the Germans immigrated singly, without a leader of their own nationality and without connection among themselves. Not until the beginning of the eighteenth century a German mass-immigration commenced from North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and the Fatherland. The first comers scattered during the first decades of the colony over all its various sections, and yet the influence of this immigration proved of the greatest value to the development of Virginia or "Attanough Komouch," the Indian name of the country. 1.) Das deutsche Element in den Ver. Staaten von Xord-Amerika," von G. Koerner Selte 403. Cincinnati, Ohio, 1880. The civilization of all countries began with the tilling of the soil or agriculture, and this was the case too in the old mother colony.

Download or read book 1619 written by James Horn and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary year in which American democracy and American slavery emerged hand in hand Along the banks of the James River, Virginia, during an oppressively hot spell in the middle of summer 1619, two events occurred within a few weeks of each other that would profoundly shape the course of history. In the newly built church at Jamestown, the General Assembly--the first gathering of a representative governing body in America--came together. A few weeks later, a battered privateer entered the Chesapeake Bay carrying the first African slaves to land on mainland English America. In 1619, historian James Horn sheds new light on the year that gave birth to the great paradox of our nation: slavery in the midst of freedom. This portentous year marked both the origin of the most important political development in American history, the rise of democracy, and the emergence of what would in time become one of the nation's greatest challenges: the corrosive legacy of racial inequality that has afflicted America since its beginning.
