They decided to make a Virginia Company together. They had planned to go out and establish a place for themselves. They were in competition with the Spanish who had stolen treasures and wealth from the natives. In 1607 104 English men had landed. They traveled up the James River to establish a settlement out of sight from passing Spanish pirates who might sack the town or steal the supplies. They had later conquered Virginia and there were other people there. So there were soon other people coming into the land and it was mostly the native and the people from London, though they were really a mix]]> 2016-09-21 21:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/114020/ex35vve16s58/wish/125566759 115401 https://padlet.com/114020/ex35vve16s58/wish/125566806 In colonial Virginia, most of the people would make money by growing and selling cash crops. This was because they normally lived in houses that had places for farming and growing the crops to sell. The biggest thing in the economy was tobacco. this was because farming was the thing that people did in Virginia for money. So this was really what was revolved around by the people.]]> 2016-09-21 21:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/114020/ex35vve16s58/wish/125566806 115401 https://padlet.com/114020/ex35vve16s58/wish/125566878 Their relationship with the Native Americans was a bit different than you'd think. The Indians had mixed feeling about the English. The Indians had attacked the English before their ships even came to the land.

They had slaves and they had worked them for their own purposes. They had the slaves make food, clothes, and collect the crops. Though they did have a place for them to sleep and live, but they got practically no money.

It states in the very beginning "THAT all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety."
