It is logical given that Jamestown is the first successful English colony in the New World. This episode will cover the first few decades of this colony from the inception of the Virginia Company to the end of the Second Anglo-Powhatan War. Because this is more heavily covered in the AP US History notes than previous topics, this episode will fill in the details that may be lost when teaching to high school students. I go into more depth about the relationships between the Natives and the English and how they viewed each other. I dig into some of the more personal stories and changes of opinion with regard to those relationships. I go into the multiple conflicts, continuous death, and the rise of a class struggle. Along with much, much more. So come with me on this journey to go beneath the surface of what was taught in high school and let’s fill in those missing pages.
