This was because of the rain and fertile soil. Virginia had very hot summers along with not too extreme winters. Virginia had lowlands that were appropriate for big plantations. Virginia had bays which was good because ports could be formed to handle the shipping of materials for the colony. Farms in Virginia were small. ]]> 2021-10-29 12:53:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853843307 ramsaywack8684 https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853844271 Religion often affected the laws of the colony, for example all colonists were required to attend church twice each Sunday. ]]> 2021-10-29 12:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853844271 https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853844435 White landowners electing men as their representatives to the house of Burgesses. The Virginia Company sent 6 members to the Governor's council. Above these people was the Governor. The Governor was sent to England to represent the king or queen. They also did not have to pay taxes because the Governor and other leaders supported them with extra land. ]]> 2021-10-29 12:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853844435 ramsaywack8684 https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853845504 2021-10-29 12:54:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853845504 https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853850400 Settlers in Virginia that grow tobacco made the best money so big plantations were replaced with tobacco. Slave trading became a thing in 1619 so that they can farm tobacco for cheap. Trading slaves and crops being shipped became a business for colonists.]]> 2021-10-29 12:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853850400 ramsaywack8684 https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853858607 2021-10-29 13:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853858607 ramsaywack8684 https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853868678 2021-10-29 13:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853868678 https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853872777 It was an investment. They could earn money by selling and trading raw materials that could be found and grown there. They set up multiple farms. They could trade these materials for other materials that they didn't have access to. By doing this, they had access to materials that they normally wouldn't have access to without trading. After setting their prices, you could almost say that they were producing money. ]]> 2021-10-29 13:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853872777 barsa6731 https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853879538 Virginia was made a colony in 1607. Virginia was found because Sir Walter Raleigh came up with the idea of sending an expedition to Virginia in the late 1500s. He was an English Explorer. Sir Walter Raleigh named the colony after his friend, Queen Elizabeth I of England. She was called the Virgin Queen because she was not married. ]]> 2021-10-29 13:09:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853879538 barsa6731 https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853881657 2021-10-29 13:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853881657 ramsaywack8684 https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1853884835 The main field crops that grew in Virginia were hay,cotton,wheat,peanuts, and barley.

All of the men were given 50 acres of land. They would also get 100 more acres of land if they bought the Virginia Colony. They brought their white servants and their black slaves. These people were also skilled in many trades.

You can count on us that were going to make our colony and people do well. And guess what you won't have to even pay taxes, because our strong government and extra land. In addition, we have a lot of skilled people(shoemakers,brickmakers,tailors any many more!) to help us set up the colony. Along with our mild winters and hot, humid summers. Our low fertile lands and soil made us suitable for large plantations. ]]> 2021-11-01 12:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1858616101 https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1858626960 2021-11-01 12:45:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1858626960 ramsaywack8684 https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1858675855 Along with our huge plantations of tobacco our cash crop. Our slaves allowed us to have cheap labor, so you wouldn't have to pay that much for people to work on your land. And you would be given 50 acres plus an additional 100 acres if you bought a stock in the Virginia company, and you could be self-sufficient. Along with the angelic church our official religion we also tolerated other religions. But most of us were of the same. Along with we never doing anything to our natives, they were the ones who burned villages and our crops. ]]> 2021-11-01 13:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1858675855 ramsaywack8684 https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1862467041 We were able to be successful by teaming up and working together and trading jewels with Indians for corn and furs. ]]> 2021-11-02 18:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1862467041 ramsaywack8684 https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1862468272 2021-11-02 18:04:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ramsaywack8684/c7fme65s5ypjz0w2/wish/1862468272
