This charter gave them the right to colonize part of New England between the Charles and Merrimack Rivers, as well as the right to trade there.

Nations that practiced mercantilism believed that a nation could become more powerful if it followed certain economic principles. One of these principles was accumulating wealth in the form of precious metals like gold and silver. These metals were used as currency.

In U.S. history Pilgrims refers to the group of English men, women, and children who sailed from England to the Netherlands and then to Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. They were also known as Separatists because when they were in England, they wanted to separate from the established Anglican Church and form new churches. They were not allowed to do so in England, however, so they chose to sail to North America on a ship called the Mayflower and then start a new community where they could worship as they wanted to. The colony that the Pilgrims founded in Plymouth became the first permanent European colony in New England. They faced harsh conditions during their first winter there; approximately half of the Pilgrims were dead by the spring. When winter was over, they befriended Samoset, a Wampanoag Indian, and Massasoit, the chief of that tribe. The Native Americans taught the colonists how to adapt to their new climate. Many Puritans, one group among the Pilgrims, had also left England to find religious freedom in North America. In 1691 the Plymouth colony became part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, a settlement that was founded in 1630 by Puritans.

Thus staple crops vary from region to region. They depend on the climate of the area as well as the economic goals of the growers. Typically staple crops are easily stored for long periods of time, which makes them more suitable for long-term consumption or trade.

In 1612, finding that the local tobacco he had encountered in Virginia was too bitter, Rolfe began to cultivate seeds he had obtained in the West Indies. The crop thrived in Virginia and enjoyed large-scale exports to England. It was a huge cash crop for the colony.

When Stuyvesant arrived in the colony’s capital city of New Amsterdam in 1647, he found the colony in a weak state. He immediately began issuing rules and regulations. For example, he regulated taverns and exposed smuggling operations.
