Although some historians consider the Native Americans responsible for Bacon’s actions, could it be that Bacon was only after the native’s land and property and would do anything to obtain the land for his own financial benefit? In this essay, I will discuss Jamestown, Virginia in the 1600’s, and the conflicts between the settlers, Native Americans and the royalty from England that were sent to govern this area.

Investors in Great Britain saw opportunities for wealth in the Americas and wanted to capitalize on them. The Roanoke venture was financially supported by Sir Walter Raleigh.

The Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery were the three ships that came over to Virginia. King James I got the Virginia Company of London (a joint stock company) to finance the voyage to the New World.

It would be too nice to travel the whole ten miles to see the canal flow. The kids will enjoy it because they do not get to see stuff like this every day.

The golf course at Potomac Park is very loud but it is still a good place to have fun with the children. The best thing to do in Washington is take the kids ice skating in the winter time. “You can rent skates for less than $3 if you’ve unaccountably forgotten to pack yours, and ice time is about
