Chesapeake Culture in Pictures - Group 2 by Course Materials https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat en-us 2017-01-18 02:14:07 UTC 2024-01-09 09:23:59 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Pictureland.png INSTRUCTIONS coursematerialbackup https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/147716613 After reading document 3-1 and “Virginia, A Troubled Colony,” make TWO posts: 
(Be sure to put your name in the title of each post)

 ONE: Choose and post any image (that does not appear in the textbook or lecture) that you feel is a good representation of Chesapeake colonial living conditions.
  Then explain:
-         Who created it and when
-         What you believe it shows
-         How it is tied to Chesapeake culture
-         Be sure to include at least one specific piece of evidence from the documents.
 
TWO: Pick which one of your other group member's posts you think was best - make a new post next to it explaining why. Be sure to include one piece of evidence backing up your decision.

I believe this shows people working on a plantation in a semi swampy area (water in the background) in not the healthiest working conditions, similar to what it may have been like in Chesapeake Virginia in 1622. In our primary document this unit, the author depicts Chesapeake as being a swamp like area, with unclean working conditions for the plantation workers.]]> 2017-01-24 01:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/148901290 Zhen Feng https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/149196851 The image that I feel is a good representation of Chesapeake colonial living  conditions of "Slaves working with tobacco in Virginia" by an unknown artist in 1670. I believe it shows enslaved Africans working in the tobacco sheds. It all started with growing tobacco, but turned to growing fruits & vegetables and planning more elegant landscape gardens. From the reading document of this unit, it is tied to Chesapeake culture that it illustrated Virginia as one of Chesapeake colonial had made their fortunes through the cultivation of tobacco to setting a pattern of food and flowers. ]]> 2017-01-24 23:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/149196851 Zhen Feng https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/149199642 I think the best thing was the semi swampy area have unclean working conditions for the plantation workers. Because the water could harm for the plantation growing. To keep the area drained exceed the benefits from the farming for workers. ]]> 2017-01-25 00:06:33 UTC https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/149199642 brianna https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/149221898 This is an image that I found by an unknown artist, this would have been similar living conditions in Chesapeake Virginia around the 1620's and on. I believe this shows the hard working conditions that they were under- both the men and the woman. This is a representation of the slaves working in Virginia as you can see with their different tools that they used in the picture. They worked with tobacco, but then started an evolution with everything else that they could do in the working field ( coffee, cotton, sugar can, etc. ).
"worke hard both earelie and late .."( page 38) In this letter it was really sad the working conditions he described and what he has or should I say doesn't have. Basically the clothes that they have on, are the only clothes that they really get to have and for all their work they do not get much to eat. overall this shows the hard working conditions and what very little they had.

I feel like a good background of my picture is missing And this does a good job of depicting the working conditions on the plantation. ]]> 2017-01-25 05:35:21 UTC https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/149223179 Taylor Wresinski https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/149305905 The image that I found is a picture of the slaves working on a tobacco plantation on Cecilius Calvert land back in the 1600's. It was created in 1650 by Galenson. I think the image represents the Chesapeake colonial living conditions that we read about pretty well because it shows slaves working on a tobacco farm in conditions that are not safe. The slave owners did not care about the unsafe working conditions because they relied on slaves for tobacco and later other crops to make money. This image shows a slave owner sitting and watching the slaves work while he smokes a cigar.  ]]> 2017-01-25 13:54:54 UTC https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/149305905 Taylor Wresinski https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/149307333 I like that the picture that Danielle chose shows some of the swamp in it that was talked about in our reading. I think the unsafe working conditions in the swamp shows alot about what things were like back then and what conditions the slaves worked in and I like that this picture represents that part of the reading. ]]> 2017-01-25 13:58:50 UTC https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/149307333 Danielle Myers danimyers675 https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/149490814 I liked Taylor's image because i think i best represents the conditions described in the reading we had this unit. In the reading Chesapeake was describe as being unclean and unsafe for the workers health. I also like that the picture was from the 1600s because that was the time-frame our document was written.]]> 2017-01-26 00:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/149490814 Hailey Covieo https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/149702762 I like the picture that Briana chose. I feel like it is a good description of the conditions slaves would have to live in, and the tasks they would have to do. But I do feel that the description Richard gave of slavery on his plantation in Virginia was a lot harsher. He explains that he does no have anything at all. But two rags, a pair of socks and a cap. He explains that his meals consist of only bread and water for extended periods of time. These slaves in this picture seem to be well clothed and kept. Also they seem to be reasonably nourished.

This image is of slaves arriving in Jamestown. I feel that this is tied to the Chesapeke culture because this is the picture that I painted in my head when I was reading Richard Frethorne' letter to his parents. He describes that the slaves had nothing and were barely clothed. He also states that the men who were at the dock where the skips came to load were envisioned as godly. (Page 40) Richard states that "The Rogues had gotten the boat, and had taken all the furnitures as pieces, swords, armour, powder, shot and all the things they ahd to trade with." I envisioned these dock places where trade takes place would have men who were carrying swords and were well dressed as the image below shows.

I believe this shows the imbalance of power between two groups of people: slaves and slave owners. You can see the slave portrayed as a lesser person than his white owner. This ties into Chesapeake culture because slavery was common in their time.]]> 2017-01-26 22:08:05 UTC https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/149774873 Brendan Schrauben kschrauben19 https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/149775706 I like Taylor's image of the slaves working on a tobacco plantation because it shows how little they have and how little rights they are given]]> 2017-01-26 22:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/coursematerialbackup/y3h5hwkj4xat/wish/149775706
