3 Lynda Ackert (order #14408) Things to Know Hamburger Fold-Fold horizontally Hotdog Fold- Fold vertically Folds- Labeled with a small line to show where the fold is and the words hamburger fold or hotdog fold. Dotted Lines-These are the cutting lines Cover Labels- Most of the booklets that are folded look nicer with a label on top instead of just a blank space. They will be labeled cover label. So where do the mini-booklets go? A color coded and labeled KEY is included. This key shows you where all of the mini-booklets go in each folder. Keep this page handy! You ll also see at the top of the mini-booklet pages another graphic that shows once again where to place the booklet in each folder. So there are TWO ways to see where to place the booklet. We made it easy!! You won t get lost. How do I use the study guide and mini-booklets? Read the study guide page to your child or if your child is reading, let him/her read it to you. After each study guide page, you will find the mini-booklet pattern that goes with that study guide page (Occasionally, a study guide page might have more than one mini-booklet).cut out, construct and glue the mini-booklet into the lapbook (The directions for cut out, assembly and placement will be found on the same page as the mini-book pattern). Then fill in the answers. Most of the answers for the mini-booklets can be found within the study guide. Further research on the study guide topic can be done if desired.

4 Lynda Ackert (order #14408) How Long Does it Take to Complete the Lapbook? Doing a study guide page and mini-booklet a day, a 3-folder lapbook takes about one month to complete. However, you can expand the study portion and make it last as long as you like! That s the beauty of homeschooling! Do it YOUR way! Study Choices Choice #1- Read the first page of the study guide. Then use the internet and fun children s books to learn more about the topic that is covered in that study guide. For instance-our American Indians lapbook has a study guide page about Geronimo. Dig into Geronimo. There are probably lots of interesting things to learn about him that the study guide does not cover. Spend a day on Geronimo or spend a week! The pace you take for the lapbook is completely up to you. When your child has completed studying that particular topic, it will be time to do the mini-booklet for that topic. The mini-booklet patterns are found right after the study guide page that it goes with. Or, your child might want to do the minibooklet before he/she delves deeper into the subject. Once again, the order is completely up to you and your child. Choice #2- Read only the study guide page and do the mini-booklet that goes with it. The mini-booklet patterns are found right after the study guide page that it goes with. You may choose to do one study guide/mini-booklet per day, two per day, two per week, three per week, etc. It doesn t matter. The pace is completely up to you. At one per day, it will take about a month to complete a 3 folder lapbook. Lapbook Assembly Choices Choice #1 -Do not glue your folders together until you have completely finished all three folders. It is easier to work with one folder instead of two or three glued together. You can keep the waiting folders in your binder that we will be mentioning later. Choice #2 -Glue all of your folders together before beginning. Some children like to see the entire project as it is being done. Plus, it helps with keeping up with which folder you are supposed to be working in. The choices are completely up to you and your child!

5 Lynda Ackert (order #14408) Tips and tricks to go the extra mile! Supplies Need: ½ inch three-ring binder 5 tabs (if you are using our copywork and/or notebooking pages, you will need to have tabs. Label with copywork and notebooking) Quart size baggies Duct tape Your study guide and mini-booklets pages Office supplies-glue, scissors, brads, stapler, pencils, crayons, and ribbon (if needed) 1. Label your tabs: Study Guide, Book Log, NICK, Biography Reports, Outlines (Copywork and Notebooking, if using these). 2. Make copies of NICK notes and outline forms and put them behind the tabs. Your child can use either the NICK notes form (easier) or the outline form (a bit harder) after any of the study guides. These serve as a good review of the material in the study guide. 3. Hole punch your study guide and mini-booklets sheets and place behind the Study Guide tab. You will read a page of a study guide. Behind the study guide are all of the booklets that go with that study guide. 4. Keeping your office supplies handy-measure the bottom of a quart size ziplock bag. Then measure out a strip of duct tape that length. Lay the zip-lock bag on the lower edge of the tape. Fold the other end of the tape down on the zip-lock bag. Your duct tape should be sticking out from the bag. Now, you can hole punch the duct tape strip. DO NOT HOLE PUNCH INTO THE BAG! Then put it into your 3-ring binder. Use this bag to store items you will be using for your lapbook. Glue, scissors, hole puncher, stapler and extra staples, crayons, pencils, brads, ribbon, and any unfinished work. Doing this one step keeps you from having to constantly gather supplies every time you want to work on your lapbook!

6 How to fold and connect the folders for your lapbook. 2. Open up each folder and flatten it out. 1. Gather the number of folders required for your particular lapbook. 4. Fold the left hand-side over just to the crease but not overlapping it. Your folder now has two flaps. We like to run a ruler down each fold to make the fold neater and flatter. Do steps 3 and 4 to the remaining folders.. Do steps 5 and 6 to your remaining folders (if any). 3. Take the right side and fold it all the way over until the tab is just before the middle crease in the folder. Do not overlap this crease with the tab. 5. Take two of the folders and apply a generous amount of glue to their flaps. 6. Bring the flaps together and press so they stick together. 8. The patterns for all the mini-booklets are provided. Just cut out, construct, and glue them into your lapbook. Refer to the color-coded placement page or the actual mini-booklet page for placement of each mini-booklet. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

10 Native Americans-The First Americans Many people contend that Christopher Columbus discovered America. But, the Native American Indians were present long before any of the explorers landed on the North American continent. American Indians varied considerably from area to area, as did their reactions to European settlements. Indian families lived in tribes. Each family was dependent on the other for survival. They lived by the customs and practices of their ancestors and used the land only as they needed it, believing it was sacred. Around the 1500s, European explorers began to explore inland on the new found continent. They often were peaceful toward the Indians, but many times, they were fearful and killed them. The new white man brought many new things to the Indians, such as copper, iron, metal for weapons, and new foods and plants. They also brought new diseases and war. The Europeans began to no longer feeling like a visitor to this land. They wanted to own all of it. There were more and more people coming over and more land was needed for their expansion. The military began taking what it wanted and began forcing the Indian tribes into extinction. Out of fear of the Indians, the Europeans tried to force the Indians to be like them, to be Christians, and speak English. The United States government began dividing the country during its expansion. Indians were given small plots of land called reservations. Most Indians were forced from their homeland onto these reservations. Often they were forced to walk hundreds of miles and were given very little food or clothing for the journey. Many Indians died while on the way to their new homes. The rest of their land was taken over by settlers. This is why few tribes are left today. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

12 We Need to Find A Northwest Passage The Northwest Passage is a sea route through the Arctic Ocean. It runs along the northern coast of North America via the waterways amidst the Canadian Arctic Archipelago connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Beginning in the 15th century, explorers began searching for a shorter sea route north and west around North America for trading. The Northwest Passage became a new route to the trading nations of Asia. In 1493, to defuse trade disputes, Pope Alexander VI split the discovered world between Spain and Portugal. This move made other countries like England and France want to find their own route. This new route became the desire and motivation of the European explorations. They named it the Northwest Passage. When it became evident that there was no route through the heart of the continent, attention was turned to the possibility of a passage through northern waters. From west to east, the Northwest Passage runs through the Bering Strait (separating Russia and Alaska), Chukchi Sea, Beaufort Sea and then through various waterways that run through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. There are five to seven different routes through the archipelago, including the McClure Strait, the Dease Strait, and the Prince of Wales Strait, but not all of them are suitable for larger ships. The passage then goes through Baffin Bay and the Davis Strait leading into the Atlantic Ocean. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

14 Henry Hudson-Explorer Henry Hudson was born at a turning point in English history. Since the expedition of Columbus, many had set out to discover a route to the Orient. Hudson learned his skill of the sea by traveling with seafarers, mariners, and explorers. As a young man, he had traveled with trade ships and had even sailed on an English ship that faced and defeated the Spanish Armada in Hudson made four voyages into the treacherous Arctic waters in four years, from 160 to Each additional time, he pushed the limits of his discoveries a little further. He was determined to find the Northwest Passage, often ignoring his safety and that of his crews. In 1609, he sailed from Amsterdam on a vessel named Half Moon and headed north, again trying to find a path through the Arctic to the Far East. He believed that the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans were separated by a narrow strip of land, which would provide a shortcut between the two oceans. He sailed into New York Bay in September of 1609 and explored about 150 miles of a river, which later became known as the Hudson River. In 1610, Hudson set out again in pursuit of the famous Northwest Passage on a ship called the Discovery. His son went with him on this journey. They sailed down the dangerous waters past Quebec and down thru Hudson Strait (this Strait is not named for Henry.) They entered a huge bay, which Henry thought was the Pacific Ocean. The bay, which we presently call Hudson Bay, became frozen and the currents were very rough. The crew wanted to turn around, but Henry refused. His crew, thinking of mutiny, put Hudson, his son, and seven others into a small boat. We know from a diary that was found on the shore months later that this group left the boat to go ashore to look for shelter. Henry, his son, and his crew were never heard from again.

16 Leaving the Church of England A little history on the church that the colonists left King Henry VIII was the king of England. His wife, Catherine of Aragon, could not give him a son to inherit the throne. Because of this, he tried to divorce her. This caused quite a problem because the Catholic faith did not permit divorce. The Pope denied him the right to divorce. King Henry VIII then denounced Catholicism and placed himself as head of a new church. This new church became known as the Church of England. This new church would be Protestant. The change marked the birth of the 'Reformation in England. After King Henry became the leader of the newly formed church, he granted his own divorce. Later he would marry Anne Boleyn, only to have her executed of treason, after she failed to produce a male heir. The king would marry four more times, including a woman named Jane Seymour. After multiple attempts, Jane finally blessed him with a son, King Edward VI. King Edward ruled for a brief time and died in 1553 at the age of 15. After the King's death, his Catholic daughter, Mary, became Queen. During her rein, she used fear and death to order the Catholic Church back under the control of England. She was overthrown by her half-sister Elizabeth I for her practice of ordering people to death. She would thereafter be known as Bloody Mary. Queen Elizabeth was a Protestant. She used her time as Queen to strengthen the Church of England. Under her rule, she brought peace between the Church of England and the Catholic Church by allowing each to remain as separate.

17 Who was King James? King James was the only child of Queen Mary and the Duke of Albany, Henry Stuart. James became the King of England and Ireland on March 24, During King James' rule over England, the fields of art, literature, and science bloomed with great works from people like Sir Francis Bacon and William Shakespeare. Even though King James was a Protestant, he did not attempt to end Catholicism. His religious tolerance also made room for the rise of Puritanism in England. In 1604, he authorized an official translation of the Bible called the King James Bible. It was published for the first time in 1611 and is still known for its beautiful language. During King James' reign, two groups of believers rose up who went strongly against the Church of England. The Puritans made up a group of people who wanted to remain in the church but wanted to modify its practices and the way it was run. They were called Puritans because they wanted to purify the church. The other group, the Separatists, wanted to separate entirely from the Church of England. The Separatists wanted to worship in a very simple manner. They did not believe in all of the rituals and symbols that the Catholic Church developed. They believed that the New Testament was the model to follow. They felt that the state should not interfere with their religious choice. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

20 Who were the Puritans? The Puritans were a group of people who wanted to remain part of the Church of England but wanted to change its practices and the way it was run. They were called Puritans because they wanted to purify the church. They lived by a very strict Puritan code. The Puritan way of living had numerous rules that were expected to be followed at all times. During church services, men and women sat on opposite sides of the room through very long services. Women were not allowed to speak in church, and it was against the law to miss a church service. The Puritan lifestyle was hard and rigid. The church dictated the course of life. A Puritan was expected to work hard and show no emotion. Puritans dressed very plainly in black and white clothing. The Puritans believed that when bad things happened (such as the illness of your child), that it was due to some hidden sin in your life. They believed that it was God's way of bringing one to repentance. Puritans believed that Satan hunted out the weak and the insane to act out his work. They felt that Satan would attack anyone, including women and children. Those who followed Satan were called witches. Witchcraft was the greatest crime that a person could commit. The punishment for witchcraft was death. Puritan children were expected to behave under an extremely strict code. The showing of anger, fear, or even excitement was considered a sin. Playtime was not allowed, and toys were very seldom owned. Most days consisted of chores, cooking, and attending church. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

22 Who were the Separatists? (Pilgrims) The Separatists were a group of people who wanted to separate entirely from the Church of England. Separatists, believing in very simple worship, rejected the rituals and symbols of the Anglican Church. They believed that the New Testament was the example to follow. They also believed that not only should the state not dictate religion but that one should be able to worship freely as he chooses. The Separatists also did not like the lax standards of social behavior like drunkenness and the failure to observe the Sabbath. The Separatists believed they had been chosen by God for salvation and feared being sent to hell if they worshiped with those outside of their church. They commonly referred to outsiders as The Strangers. In 160, William Brewster, along with his church of Separatists, tried to make their first attempt to leave England for Amsterdam, Holland. Their plan was found out, and he and many of his people were jailed and beaten. In 1608, the congregation made another attempt to leave England, only to be found out once again. The Separatists men had already boarded the ship while the women waited on shore. As the authorities arrived, the ship's captain left the dock. The men and the women were separated. The authorities soon released the women, and they joined their men in Holland. In Holland, the Separatists were finally allowed to worship freely. The Separatist were now known as Pilgrims, because they had left their homeland on a pilgrimage to discover something new. But, they quickly began to yearn for more freedom. News began to circulate of total freedom of religion in a new place called America. So, the Pilgrims left Holland in 1620 bound for America. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

24 The First SettlementThe Jamestown Colony The first permanent English settlement in the New Americas was called The Jamestown Settlement in honor of the ruler of England, King James I. In June of 1606, the Virginia Company was established by a group of London entrepreneurs. King James gave his permission to establish an English settlement in the Chesapeake region of North America. In December 1606, a group of over 100 people sailed from London to Virginia hoping to find gold and a shorter water passage to the Orient. Half of this group was gentlemen. These gentlemen had much wealth and had never worked hard. They were not prepared for the job ahead of them. They knew nothing of the wilderness or the planning involved in starting a new colony. On May 14, 160, The Virginia Company landed on Jamestown Island, which was located near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. They decided on this location due to the deep-water channel and its location close to the shore, which enabled their ships to dock easily. Almost a month after landing, the colonists were attacked by the Algonquian natives. Due to these attacks, the colonists quickly built a fort for safety. They constructed a triangular shaped fort made out of palisade walls. In the center, they built a storehouse, church, and a number of houses. The colonists took a huge hit with disease, famine, and numerous attacks from the neighboring Algonquians. Trading with the Powhatan Indians helped to revive the colony. Trading included food, clothing, tools, copper, and iron. A strong leader and hunter by the name of Captain John Smith is credited with keeping the colony from totally disappearing. In the winter of 1609, Captain Smith left the settlement to return home. Without Smith's guidance, only 60 of the settlers survived the severe winter. It became known as the starving time. After the harsh winter, the survivors decided to bury their cannons and armor and abandon Jamestown. However, with the arrival of Lord De La Ware and his supply ships full of food and building material, the colonists decided to stay and rebuild.. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

26 Captain John Smith Saves Jamestown Captain John Smith was known as a brash and boldly self-confident person. His keen experience of survival and exceptional leadership skills helped save the Jamestown colony. Smith led the settlers in hunting, construction of the fort, and trading with the Indians for corn. One of the major threats that Smith and the others faced were the frequent raids by the Algonquin Indians. Smith was captured in December 160 and brought before the chief of the Algonquin Indians, Chief Powhatan. The chief's daughter, Pocahontas, saved his life by throwing herself between him and the warriors, right before they were ordered to kill him. Once released, Smith helped to further lead the colony. After being injured, Smith returned to England for a couple of years. In, 1614, Captain Smith returned to Maine and the Massachusetts Bay. Under approval of Prince Charles, he changed the name of the region to New England. He mapped the coastline from Penobscot Bay to Cape Cod. After his return to England in 161, Smith wrote a book about his adventures in North America. He never again returned to Virginia or Massachusetts. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

28 Pocahontas-Indian Princess Pocahontas was an Indian princess who lived in the Virginia region near Jamestown Colony. She was the daughter of Powhatan, the chief of the Algonquian Indians. She was born to one of the many wives of the chief. Her actual date of birth is not known. Some believe it to be around Pocahontas probably saw white men for the first time in May of 160, when the settlers landed in Jamestown. She became fast friends with the captain of the troop, John Smith. In December of 160, Smith was taken captive by her father while he was leading an expedition. Pocahontas is most remembered for saving his life. In 1610, Pocahontas was kidnapped and held for ransom by some overly energetic soldiers at Jamestown. The year before, John Smith had been injured and returned to England. The solider sent word to Chief Powhatan that he would return his beloved daughter only if the chief sent him his demands. The chief sent some of the items with a note asking them to treat his daughter well. Pocahontas stayed with the white men and settled into a new colony called Henrico, which was under the leadership of Sir Thomas Dale. Here, she began her education and was baptized into the Christian faith. She married a deeply religious man named John Rolfe. Afterwards, she was christened with the name Rebecca. Because of the marriage of John and "Rebecca," peace was found between the English and the Indians. In the spring of 1616, Pocahontas, her husband, and their infant son, Thomas, went to London. Her arrival in London was well talked about. She was presented to King James I and all of the London royal society. While in London, she was also reunited with her old friend, Captain John Smith. It had been eight years since their last encounter. In March 161, Pocahontas and her family planned to return to Virginia. On the voyage home, Pocahontas became extremely ill with pneumonia or possibly tuberculosis. She died at the age of 22. Her body was buried in a churchyard in Gravesend, England, where the ship had to go ashore when she became ill. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

30 The Pilgrims Come to AmericaThe Mayflower Journey The Pilgrims, who left England 11 years earlier to obtain freedom of worship in Holland, began to dream of leaving their home in Holland and traveling across the Atlantic to America. They began their journey aboard the Speedwell, which took them to Southampton, England. There they joined another group of Separatists. On September 6, 1620, they set out on the Mayflower for America. The brave men and women had given up everything in their past to commit themselves to a new life; a life they hoped to base solely on the Bible and a relationship with God. Once again, they were on a search for a new place to live. Even though they could not bring many personal items with them, they did bring their culture, spiritual beliefs, and deeply rooted family values to the New World. They were determined to establish an improved foundation of English society in this unknown land. Life on the voyage was not at all comfortable. There were 102 passengers and 30 crewmembers. The Mayflower was a merchant ship, not a passenger ship, so there were no cabins in which to live or sleep. The pilgrims slept in the scallops or on the gun deck. Sleeping was done in triple tier bunks, which had been built between the decks. Each family had about a 5' x 5' square of space. Here they slept, cooked, and lived. Most of the belongings that they did carry with them were stored in the hold of the ship in trunks. There was no privacy and little room for the 32 children on board to play. The foods that they ate included salted meat, and fish, peas, beans, beer, and hard cheese. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

33 The First LawsMayflower Compact During the planning stages of their voyage to America, the pilgrims met with their pastor, John Robinson, to receive his advice in establishing a new government. They knew that it would be based on democracy. They also knew that they needed rules and laws that everyone would have to follow. The leaders on the Mayflower proposed that a document be written that would bind them all to a common consent. To solve this problem, the Pilgrims came up with the Mayflower Compact. The Compact was an agreement that was signed by all the men on board the ship, including the indentured servants. The Mayflower Compact was the first document written in the new world. It set the standard for the free democracy that we still enjoy today. In the document, they stated that the new America would be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. It further stated that they would be allowed to elect their own leaders and to write their own laws. The Mayflower Compact was signed by 41 men on November 21, 1620 aboard the Mayflower. After the signing, the men elected John Carver as the first governor. The Mayflower Compact stayed in effect until about Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

35 Squanto Helps the New Settlers Squanto, also known as Tisquantum, was a Native American of the Wampanoag tribe. He lived in what is now Massachusetts. He acted as a helpful friend to the new European settlers that came to America. When Squanto was in his early years, he was taken captive and sold as a slave in Spain. Eventually, he managed to escape and went to England. In 1619, while serving as a pilot for an English sea captain, he escaped and returned home. When he arrived home, he discovered that most of his tribe had been destroyed by a plague. In 1621, he befriended the people of the Plymouth Colony and taught them numerous skills to help them survive the harsh winters. He taught them how to fish and how to plant corn. As the pilgrim s friend, he acted as an interpreter at the Treaty of Plymouth. The following year, as he was guiding a party under the leadership of Colonial Bradford around Cape Cod, he became extremely ill and died. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

37 The First ThanksgivingCelebrating the First Year In 1621, after having survived their first year in America, the pilgrims, along with their new friends, the Wampanoag Indians, threw a feast of thanks. This autumn harvest festival became known as the first Thanksgiving celebration. The way in which the pilgrims celebrated then is very different from the way we celebrate now. At a typical meal, the pilgrims would have eaten with their fingers and wiped their hands on a large cloth napkin that was also used to pick up hot food. The food was placed directly on the table instead of on plates. Food was not passed around the table. You would have eaten only the food that was placed in front of you. Most meals included meat or game as it was called. Puddings and soups were very common. The pilgrims had brought a small amount of sugar with them, but a year later, it would have been used. They did not have ovens to bake pies or bread. However, they did have plenty of pumpkins to boil and also made fried grounded corn cakes. After the meal, the men, children, and Indians played games such as rugby, Native American soccer, badminton, and darts. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

40 Pequot WarSettlers and Indians Battle It Out Pequot Indians were a powerful tribe who held control over all of Connecticut east of the Connecticut River. This warring tribe had 2,500 Indians. The meaning of the Pequot name really symbolized what it stood for, "Destroyer." The Pequot tribe s chief rival was the Narragansett Indian tribe. The colonists easily made friends with the Narragansett and relied on them for protection. As the new colonists began growing and expanding westward, friction with the Indians began to develop. The development of discriminatory trading, selling of liquor, and the destroying of crops were all reasons for the growing tension. The colonists also killed any Indian they felt was an ungodly savage. In July 1636, a white trader was killed by the Pequot Indians. This killing led the colonists to call in the armies. In May 163, the colonists, with the help of the Narragansett Indians, attacked a Pequot village. Circling the camp, the colonists set fire to the Indian camp, and then shot the survivors who fled. Between 400 and 00 Indian men, women and children were killed. Many of the survivors were sold into slavery in Bermuda. After the raid, the number of Pequot Indians significantly declined. In 1655, some tribes of the Pequot were released and moved to land near New Haven. Even with the tribe dispersed, the ones that remained in Connecticut were forced to share their property with English settlers. As the settlers continued to destroy the land with the planting of crops and cutting down of trees, the Indians petitioned the governor for help. Governor Joseph Talcott ignored the request and by 1850, the Indian population had been cut to forty. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

42 King Philip s War Settlers and Indians Battle It Out Some More Shortly after the arrival of the pilgrims, they met and befriended Chief Massasoit of the Wampanoag Indians. For fifty-five years, there was peace between the Indians and the settlers. After his death, his son, King Philip, became chief. Philip did not like the white man. He saw them as an enemy, trying to take over land, and killing out his people with English borne diseases. In his mind, the settlers had insulted and humiliated his people. In a vicious attack, Philip and his warriors raided village after village. As the attacks began to spread across the settlements, the colonists began to feel unsafe. The Indians destroyed their homes, carried them into captivity, and even killed or maimed them. After a while, the colonists slowly learned to put up a front and developed a united friendship with Philip and his warriors. Philip's tribes soon began to fall under famine and disease. Slowly, his warriors were weakening and dying off. Later that year, a pilgrim, Captain Church of Milton discovered Philips Indian camp. The colonists invaded the camp, sending Philip running in fear. One of the English men fired a shot that hit King Philip in the heart. Philip survived the shot and was brought back to the colony. Church ordered Philip to be beheaded. After his death, his wife and son were sold into slavery in the West Indies and many of his warriors were killed. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

44 The Quakers Come to America In 164, many in England were unhappy with religion. They wanted to do things their own way. A man by the name of George Fox started a movement called Quakers (or The Religious Society of Friends). This new group believed that a church should have no leaders, priests, or ministers. They felt that one ought to decide for himself how to worship God. They also believed that people were to worship directly to God and not through another person. By 16, many Quakers were being arrested and sent to jail in England for their beliefs. The Quakers decided to leave England and follow a man named William Penn to the New World. They settled at a new colony named for Penn called Pennsylvania. Quakers live by two main principles1. Sitting in silence so that God would speak to you. 2. Showing your religion through your actions by such things helping the needy or making peace during war. as The Quakers that were living in the new America did not believe in war. They refused to take part in the American Revolutionary War. Many people believed that this new group was traitors. Some Quakers owned slaves but by the 1880 s most Quakers decided slavery was immoral and began to assist in the escape of slaves using the Underground Railroad. Those that helped in the releasing of the slaves were sent to jail or paid large fines. Quakers are noted for wearing plain and simple clothing to avoid showy appearances, getting undue attention or seeming better than others. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

48 William Penn Settles Pennsylvania William Penn was born of wealth in London, England. He was raised by his mother with a firm spiritual faith. William attended private schools as a child and later attended Christ Church College in Oxford. He quickly acquired a reputation as a dedicated student, a skillful sportsman, a brilliant debater, and a fighter for the underdog. He was an exceptional reader and had a vast knowledge of history and theology. While in school, he joined a group of pacifists who called themselves the Society of Friends (the Quakers). The Quakers had no religious leaders. He began to learn and explore their political policies and lead freedom assemblies. All members met to worship God as equals. Penn was arrested 6 times for speaking out for religious tolerance. Many other Quakers were sent to jail for not attending the Church of England. In 164, after a dispute with some clients, Penn was elected as a property holder of land in the new America. Penn showed considerable enthusiasm in colonization. In 1682, Penn filled several ships with emigrants and headed to the New World. He named his new land Pennsylvania. It meant Penn's woods. Penn enjoyed setting up his colony. He was determined to deal fairly and maintain friendly relations with the Indians. Penn established the Free Society of Traders to control trading with England. Penn became an advocate for colonization and made frequent trips to Holland sending emigrants to his colony. Over time, it grew to more than 800 families. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

51 The Tragedy of the Salem Witch Trial In 1692, in the town of Salem Village, lived two little girls- Abigail Williams and Betty Parris. Betty was the nine-year-old daughter of the town reverend. The two girls spent time with Tituba, a black slave who did fortune telling, which was considered witchcraft. In the Puritans very strict moral code, they believed that witchcraft was a sin punishable by death. The girls knew this activity was strictly forbidden and surely it filled them with fear. In January 1692, both girls began to exhibit unusual symptoms and behaviors such as invisible bitten and pinched arms, impossible arm and neck turns and extreme twisting and jerking movements. A local minister was called in for prayer and fasting. The doctor later stated that he felt the girls were under Evil Hands. When news of the girls involvement with the town witch got out, the town sparked a witch-hunt on these children. The adults set the wheels in motion to punish these children they believed had been filled with Satan himself. The fear of sorcery and witchcraft was very common. For the colonists in America, the truth about witches was very real. In their former country of Europe, there had been reports of witchcraft for centuries. The talk of witchcraft quickly spread throughout the village. The girls were questioned, and on February , a complaint was issued against Tituba, Sarah Osborne, and Sarah Good for afflicting Betty Paris. Soon, under pressure, the girls began pointing fingers at others in the community as being witches. Three out-casts in town were targeted as witches. On June 2, 1692, a formal trail began. Many were brought before the magistrate and jailed, beaten, or starved in hopes of a confession. Bridget Bishop, a local woman in town, was the first to be hung at Gallows Hill. There would be 18 more hung before the hysteria finally stopped. No one knows what really happened in Salem. But life after these trails never returned to normal for countless people.

55 Colonial Families During colonial times, the husband was the head of the home. He had authority over his family. He was expected to love his wife and children, as Christ had loved him. A husband did not assist at all with any of the household chores. He would kill the food, but he did not clean or cook it. He did not aid in the raising of the children but, he would discipline them. The men were in complete control over the running of the colony. They voted for new leaders and made or changed the laws as needed. The wife in colonial times was to be totally dependent and submissive to her husband. She did not have a voice nor was she allowed to vote or has an opinion on any matters in the colony. She was to obey her husband's lawful commands. She was expected to act meek, obedient, and courteous at all times. She was considered second in command of the children and servants. It was common for women to have 8 or 10 children. Children were expected to fear and love their parents. They were to be obedient in all things and have well-mannered behavior. Children began doing chores at the age of 4. They woke at 5:30 every morning and completed hours of chores. School was done at home with their mother. Reading and writing were the principal subjects taught. Boys learned the trade of their father while girls learned how to keep house. Most marriages were arranged, and girls were usually married by the age of 12. Colonial Food The biggest meal of the day was eaten at noon. The women would begin cooking early in the morning. Once the meal was ready, the adults sat, while the children and servants waited on them. Each family would grow their own garden and herbs. It would have included corn, beans, peas, and wheat. Originally, the pilgrims did not have livestock. They brought only a goat for milk and a few chickens for eggs with them on the Mayflower. After the colony was settled the following year, a ship returned from England with livestock. During the 1th century, there were no tractors to help with farming. The colonists used oxen hooked to carts to help with farming. Men and boys would take turns looking after the cattle. This person was called the cowman. On their turn in the fields, they were responsible for looking out for danger in the town, strangers wandering around, and hurt or sick livestock. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

56 Colonial Housing The pilgrims landed on the coastline of Cape Cod on December After the signing of the Mayflower Compact, it was another two months before the pilgrims could live on the land. The men spent this time looking for cleared land, food, scouting out the enemies, and waiting out the winter. Due to the bitter winter, diseases, and shortage of food, more than half of the pilgrims were dead before spring. By the following winter, an English-speaking Indian named Squanto had befriended the pilgrims. Thanks to him, the pilgrims learned many skills that help to save them. He taught them to build homes to protect them from the harsh climate. He also taught them how and when to grow food and how to cook the food once it was harvested. Since the pilgrims did not have a refrigerator, most of their food was dried to preserve it and keep it from going bad. They would dry corn, hams, fish, and herbs. On December 28, 1620, the Pilgrims laid out the first of their colonies. The land was divided into 19 house-plots. Each family would be responsible for the construction of their individual homes and would be required to assist in the building of those areas that were considered "common" areas. These areas included the church, storehouses, a defensive fort, and sheds. The homes were built with thatched roofs. Most had dirt floors, a fireplace, and an outdoor kitchen area. Colonial Clothing During the 1th century, men wore long, off-white, lace collared linen shirts with a cloak often draped over the shoulders. They would wear front buttoning, baggy breeches that went to their knees. Stockings were made of wool and were tied with a ribbon at the thigh. Shoes were high- cut boots often made of leather. Women wore a long, off-white short-sleeved linen shirt called a shift. A two-piece gown consisting of a bodice and an ankle-length skirt was worn and tied at the waist. A fastened petticoat was worn under it. To keep their clothes clean while working, women also wore an apron over the other layers. A woman's hair was always worn pulled tightly back and gathered under a coif. Until the age of eight, boys and girls both wore the same long off-white linen gowns. They looked like nightgowns. Once they turned of age, boys wore a smaller version of what their fathers wore, and girls wore the same clothing as their mothers. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

57 Colonial Money When the original colonies first began, there was not a necessity for money. Most transactions were settled with "bartering." But, as more people began to come to the colonies, the colonists wanted to establish their own money system. The King of England ordered that it was against English law for the colonists to mint money. He wanted only his royal treasury to make the English money. In 1650, the English overthrew the King. The colonists took this opportunity to mint their own money. Since Massachusetts was an English colony, they called the new money shillings. The first mint was set up in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The first coin was equal to 12 pence. 1 pound= 20 shillings and 1 shilling =12 pence. The coins were made with simple details, small in size, and out of silver. Soon, people started copying the coins to make more money. They would shave the corners off the coins and then market the silver shavings. Doing this made the coins worthless. The Mint later stopped making these simple designed coins and began engraving designs on the coins. This made them harder to copy. Over the years, various designs including a willow tree, an oak tree, and a pine tree were used. Colonial Crime and Punishment In 1623, the first laws were written down for the original Plymouth Colony. The laws were to help establish a legal system that would uphold the values and religious beliefs that the colonists held. The colonists believed that all parts of life should be lived to honor God. The Pilgrims decided there were four crimes punishable by death. They were treason, "willful" murder, practicing witchcraft, and burning down someone s home or ship. Trials were always done in front of a judge and a jury of twelve peers. The law stated that all other crimes would be punishable by a fine, a public whipping, or sitting in the public stocks. Lying in public-fine of 10 shillings. If can't pay, then 2 hours in the stocks Stealing-Repay double the value of what was stolen or be publicly whipped Failing to attend church-10 shilling fine Traveling on Sunday-20 shilling fine Lynda Ackert (order #14408)

62 The Thirteen Colonies Britain, Spain, and France sent explorers to the unknown continent. Each claimed lands in the name of their king and settled colonies. People who came to live in this unfamiliar place were called colonists. The colonists left everything they knew and most of what they owned to make a voyage across the sea. Life in the colonies was very different from the life they had left behind. The settlers had to learn to support themselves on the land. When they first arrived in this new country, there were no stores, homes, or factories waiting for them to supply their needs. They brought with them what they could and figured out the rest once they arrived. Many of the colonists made their livelihood from fishing and shipbuilding. Others became farmers or shopkeepers to help support their families. Everyone did what he or she could to make his or her town grow. The colonies were divided into three separate regions: New England Colonies, Middle Colonies, and Southern Colonies. The New England Colonies included Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. They were settled between 1620 and The chief trade was fish, lumber and shipping. Due to the harsh winters, farming did not do well in these regions. Puritan, Baptist, and Protestant were the most common religions. The Middle Colonies included New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. They were settled between 1626 and They made their living from tobacco, wheat, oats, and shipbuilding. Quaker was the main religion in this area. The Southern Colonies included Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. They were settled between 160 and 132. Farming was most successful in this area. Crops included tobacco, rice, indigo, and tar. The Protestant and Catholic religions grew rapidly in this region. Lynda Ackert (order #14408)
