The King has just granted a charter to the Virginia Company of London. As an employee I have been assigned the task of reaching North America. We are close to the Americas as this journey has been a long and tough one I am glad to say that I can finally see land but I must say the smell of ocean salt does get boring after a while. Once arrived on land we shall set up a colony as well has find gold and silver deposits. We have also been sent to find a river route to the Pacific Ocean so that the Virginia Company can trade with Asia. There is still more to come from this journey but for now I am happy to be so close.

That most of the settlers were kicked out of England due to persecuting other Christian groups, then killed the Native Americans to steal their land. After refusing to pay their taxes that they owed, they started a war of independence and then it became the USA. Also, three hundred citizens died by being warned by a Native American and during the second Massacre, four hundred citizens died with no warning in 1608 and persecuted and leaving for the Netherlands. The most that surprised me was that the Tobacco was established in the state of Virginia and the king John Rolfe totaled a half a million pounds of tobacco.

On September 8, 2000, the head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) made a formal apology for the their participation in ‘Ethnic Cleansing’ of the Indigenous Nations of the Western Territories of the Unites States.2 From forced relocation to obscure lands and forced assimilation into the white man’s view of the world, the BIA previously set out to ‘destroy all things Indian’.3 Through the colonization of Turtle Island (North America), the American Federal policy set out to eliminate in part or as a whole, the Indigenous populations.4 The attitudes of the colonists were intentionally detrimental and the process is naturally exterminatory.5 The process of colonization was often exemplified by violent confrontations, deliberate massacres, and in some cases, total annihilations of a people.6 The culture of conquest was developed and practiced by Europeans well before they landed on Turtle Island as the practice was developed, and perfected well before the fifteenth century.7 Taking land and imposing values and ways of life on the social landscape created a conflictual relationship with the Indigenous peoples and forced a new way of life that ultimately destroyed those that previously existed there.8 Modern Europe
The American colonies had clear class divisions and from them arose much conflict. The elite wanted to stay on top so they created laws to oppress the poor and also tried to get the middle class to side with them by making “concessions to the middle class, without damage to their own wealth or power, at the expense of slaves, Indians, and poor whites.” I think Zinn said it best when he said, “New York in the colonial period was like a feudal kingdom…where barons controlled completely the lives of their tenants.” The use of slaves and indentured servants benefited and brought profit to only the elites. The American colonies were societies of “contending classes.”
