Unit 3: Colonial America <-- Click here to go to the online Unit 3 Games!
There were many different reasons for the founding of the English colonies in America. Some settlers hoped to make a profit and others sought religious freedom. As colonies expanded, wars between settlers and Native Americans broke out in New England. After King Philip's War, Native American power in New England never recovered.
The Middle Colonies were settled by people from many different cultures and religions. Colonies in the South developed for a variety of reasons. Maryland was settled by Catholics and Protestants looking for religious freedom. In Carolina, many colonists started large farms called plantations. Georgia, another Southern Colony, was settled in part by debtors as its founder tried to prevent slavery in the colony.
Many people came to the colonies searching for better live, while others came against their will. Enslaved Africans were brought to America and forced to work. Slavery grew over time as the laws changed. It became more common on the plantations in the South. Despite hardships, enslaved Africans found ways to preserve traditions and resisted slavery.
As the colonies grew, each region developed an economy based on its own resources and geography. English political traditions influenced the development of colonial governments. Charters allowed the colonies to make their own laws and assemblies.

Unit 2: Exploration and Colonization
From the 1200s through the 1400s, Europeans began to look for new trade routes to Asia. Europeans learned about other cultures because of these explorations. Large kingdoms in West Africa became trading posts. Developments in European technology expanded exploration.
The Spanish were the first Europeans to set up permanent colonies in America, beginning with Christopher Columbus's voyage in 1492. This led to an exchange of goods between Europe and the Americas. Spanish explorers defeated powerful empires in Central and South America, such as the Aztec and the Inca. From the 1500s to the 1700s, the Spanish expanded their empire in the Americas.
Beginning in the late 1400s, many Europeans searched for the Northwest Passage, a route believed to connect the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Many explorers searched parts of North America. While looking for this route, they made other discoveries, such as Newfoundland and the Hudson Bay.
France and England also settled parts of America. French colonies relied on the fur trade and experienced slow growth. The first successful English colony was Jamestown, Virginia. Later, Pilgrims settled the Plymouth colony in present-day Massachusetts.

Unit 1: Native Peoples of North America <-- Click here to go to the online Unit 1 Games!
The first Americans arrived in North America thousands of years ago. Early Native Americans were hunter-gatherers. Some early groups, like the Olmec and the Maya, settled in Central America and developed complex civilizations. These groups began farming and created their own calendars.
Groups such as the Inuit and Tlingit settled in the western part of North America. The Inuit settled in present-day Alaska and survived by hunting animals, such as walruses and seals. The Tlingit settled in the southern California desert. Native American groups in the Southwest had to adapt to a desert environment.
Native Americans on the Great Plains also found unique ways to adapt to the environment. By the 1700s, the Lakota, Crow, Pawnee, and other groups, used horses to hunt the bison that roamed the Plains. The Creek, Iroquois, and other people of the Eastern Woodlands hunted forest animals and grew crops. Native American groups from every region developed in different ways and adapted to their unique environments.
