John Rolfe (1585-1622)was an early English settler who was first to grow tabacco that was a sweeter strain than had been growing from seeds he took with him from Trinidad. He was first to commercially cultivate tabacco plants in North America and exported his sweeter strain beginning in 1612. The tabaccco was a hit in England and competed with Spains version of tobacco. Its success helped turn the Virginia Colony into a profitable venture.
Pocahontas came to the attention of John Rolfe after she had been kidnapped and taken to Jamestown to be traded for English prisoners and weapons that Powhatan(her Dad and Chief of tribe)had taken in raids. She was taken to Henrico where she learned English, converted to Christianity, was Baptized and christened Rebecca.
Their marriage in 1614 resulted in peace with the Indians long enough for settlers to develop and expand their colony and plant themselves permanently in the neew land.1 The couple had on son,Thomas, in 1615. In 1616 the Virginia company sponsored a trip to England for the couple and their son. Pocahontas(Rebecca) became ill, most likely tuberculosis,and died in March 1617 as they were preparing to return to Virginia. Their son was raised by an uncle and did not return to America until 1640.2
When he returned to Virginia he served as secretary and recorder of the colony from 1614-1619 and in 1621 he was appointed to the Council of State. He married Jane Pierce, daughter of William Pierce and they had a daughter, Elizabeth, born in 1618. He died in 1622 after his plantation was destroyed in an Indian attack. It is not clear if he died as a result of the attack or from an illness.3

The Lost Colony

Taxsmart1:

In hopes of securing permanent trading post for Britain, Sir Walter Raleigh had begun explorations of the islands off North Carolina as early as 1584. Because of the Indian threat the first settlement on Roanoke Island only lasted a year, from 1585-1586. The next year about 100 settlers under Governor John White tried to settle the same site which was only charred ruins. Returning to England, White was delayed by the the Spanish Armada. By the time he returned in August 1590 everyone had vanished. The only trace of the lost colony was the word "Croatoan" carved on one tree and "Cro" carved on another. {National Geographic.com ''Colonial America''}

COUNCIL OF JERUSALEM

The Council of Jerusalem was the Jewish senate and the highest native court in both civil and ecclesiastical matters. Under the presidency of the high priest it regulated the whole internal affairs of the Jewish nation. It consisted of 71 members and had an aristocratic character, being drawn from the 3 classes of chief priests, scribes and elders. In the time of the Lord the Pharisies had the predominating influence on it (Acts 5:34,40).
The powers of the council were extensive, for the Greek and Roman masters of the Jews granted them a considerable amount of self-government.{Bible Dictionary)

Mayflower Compact

2007-06-15T03:24:09Z

Taxsmart1:

The Mayflower Compact was the first document establishing a government in America, signed on November 21, 1620 to govern the Plymouth Colony (near Cape Cod today). It was most likely composed by William Brewster who had a university education and was written while the Mayflower was still at anchor in the Cape Cod Harbor.

The [[Pilgrims]] had sailed off course arriving much further north in uncharted territory and some passengers argued that since they were outside jurisdiction of the Virginia Company its rules and regulation no longer applied and they threatenen to do as they pleased for no one had power to command them. The Mayflower Compact resulted from the fear that some members of the company might leave the group and settle on their own.

They agreed to the first social contract in America, with the settlers consenting to abide by the rules of this Mayflower Compact. It was the first colonial agreement that formed a government by the consent of the governed. This contract proclaimed the allegiance of settlers to the king while establishing a majoritarian form of government. It gave them power to frame and enact laws for the general good of the planned settlement and stayed in force until 1691.
It was not a constitution but an adaptation of the usual church covenants in response to a civil problem. It became the foundation of Plymouth government.

Mayflower

Taxsmart1:

The '''Mayflower''' was one of the first [[ship]]s to sail and bring [[Christianity|Christians]] from [[England]] to what was then the [[New World]]. British citizens yearned to establish a Christian society free from the religious oppression that they had faced in England. Under the Captain Christopher Jones,in 1620 one hundred and two Pilgrams made a 3,000 mile voyage from England to America during autumn storms. When it left England there were three pregnant women and a crew of 25-30. Food was usually oatmeal, peas, pork, fish, beans, cheese and other foods that could be stored for long periods of time. The Mayflower could carry 180 large barrels of food storage along with Pilgrams furniture and tools.
Pilgrams spent 65 straight days living in the ships hold with no privacy and only a chamber pot for a toilet. They were not prepared for the rough waters of their long voyage. They suffered injuries from being thrown against the walls of the wind and wave tossed ship. Besides the injuries many were seasick. At sea, Elizabeth Hopkins gave birth to a son she named Oceanus. After the Mayflower anchored in Provincetown harbor off the tip of Cape Cod, Susanna White gave birth to a son she named Peregrine(one who has made a journey). The Mayflower then sailed across the bay and anchored at Plymouth Harbor where Mary Allerton gave birth to a stillborn son. One passenger died while at sea three days before land was sighted and one crew member also died.

The ship's passengers made the [[Mayflower Compact]], a set of laws they would follow upon landing in [[America]].

Ponce de Leon, Juan

2007-06-14T04:45:22Z

Taxsmart1:

Juan Ponce de Leon conquered the island of Puerto Rico, discovered
Florida, explored its coast and made a failed attempt to start a
settlement there. Ponce de Leon was born about 1460 in San Tervas
de Campos, Spain. As a young man he joined the war to conquer Granada, the last Moorish State on the Iberien Peninsula. He first
visited the New World on Columbus's second voyage in 1493 and
settled there in 1502. He and his family settled on a island in
the Caribean named Hispaniola (Dominican Republic). He became a
military commander and helped conquer the Tainos of the Eastern
part Of Hispaniola and was rewarded with the Governorship of the
Province of Higuey that was created there. He forced the Tainos to
work in the mines and to construct fortifications. The Tainos
died in great numbers after exposure to European diseases. Ponce
de Leon became rich while serving as Governor, married a Spanish
woman named Leonore and had two daughters and one son
In 1506 after the death of Christopher Columbus Spanish authorites refused to grant his son Diego Columbus lifetime governorship of his Dad's discoveries. Spanish Crown had selected de Leon to colonize and govern Puerto Rico. Diego took his claim to the top court in Madrid and won his rights. De Leon was removed from office in 1511. Not wanting to serve Diego, de Leon obtained title to explore areas north of Cuba.
Ponce le Leon searched for an island said to lie north of Cuba called Bimini. There were stories of a Fountain of Youth. A legendary, magical spring whose water was believed to make older people young again and to cure all illness. He left Puerto Rico in March 1513 sailing northwest skirting the Bahamas. He named the beautiful mainland Tierra La Florida or Land of Flowers. He landed just north of present day St Augustine and stayed for six days.
De Leon and his pilot, Anton de Alaminos, made several more voyages of discovery in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico, then followed the coast southward, found the Florida Keys, and explored Florida's west coast northward to Pensacola Bay and then returned to Puerto Rico.
The expedition was a most important one. Not only was Ponce de Leon the first European to visit the territory of what is now the United States, but he had found the Bahama Channel, which gave a shorter route between Cuba and Europe. Alaminos, who had noticed the unusually strong contrary current at Florida's south coast is now considered the discoverer of the Gulf Stream.
The king honored Ponce de Leon with knighthood and governorship of Florida. In 1521 he left from Puerto Rico with an expedition to colonize what de Leon still thought was the island of Florida. He landed on the west coast and attempted to establish a colony. The colony was soon attacked by the Calusa Indians and had to be abandoned. De Leon had been wounded and died shortly after his arrival back in Havana(Cuba) in July 1521.

Sir Martin Frobisher was born near Wakefield, Yorkshire about 1535. He went to sea as a cabin boy in 1544. He was one of the first English explorers to sail the northeast North American coast. His travels began in the 1550's when he explored Africa's northwest coast. A navigator and an adventurer, Frobisher gained a reputation for preying on French trading vessels in the waters, off Guinea. He was arrested several times during the 1560's on piracy charges, but managed to avoid trial.
In 1576, Frobisher became commander of three small ships: the Pinnace, Michael and the Gabriel. He set sail for North America in search of the Northwest Passage. During his first trip he lost two ships and reached Baffin Island and discovered what later became Frobisher Bay. He sensed that North America was a land rich in gold and his tales of treasure earned him royal backing for his next two voyages in 1577 and 1578. He attempted to start at least one ill-fated settlement, but spent most of his time looking for precious metals. When he returned empty-handed after a third try, Frobisher lost his financial backing.
Frobisher returned to the seas in 1585 as vice admiral for Sir Francis Drake's voyage to the West Indies. Three years later, he fought for the English against the Spanish Armada and was knighted for his efforts. For six years Frobisher lead several different English squadrons, including one that attempted to intercept Spanish treasure ships in the Azores. He retired in 1591 and in 1592 Walter Raleigh persuaded him to lead an attack on Spanish merchant ships bringing gold from Panama. He was badly wounded at Seige of Crozon, near Brest France. He was brought back to England but died in Plymouth on 22 November 1594.

John Cabot

'''John Cabot''' was born in [[Genoa]], [[Italy]] in 1450 to the seaman and merchant, Julio Cabot. John always had a deep interest in exploration, and he studied sailing and mapping until he was proficient in both. He became a citizen of [[Venice]] in 1476 and traveled to eastern shores of the [[Mediterranean]] and visited [[Mecca]], a great trading center where Oriental and Western goods were exchanged. As he became more skilled at navigation, he began considering the possibility of reaching Asia by sailing west. In 1482, John met and married a girl named Mattea. They had three sons, Lewis, [[Sebastian Cabot|Sebastian]], and Sanctus. John and his family moved to England where he began the search for a sponsor to fund a voyage to the Indies. Finally, On March 5, 1496 King [[Henry VII]] granted John a charter giving him permission to sail north, east or west but not south because the Spaniards were there. The first voyage was forced to turn back because of shortage of food, bad weather and disputes with his crew. He set out again on May 2, 1497 with only one ship, the ''Matthew',named for his wife Mattea, and a small crew of eighteen men. John Cabot and his crew sailed the ''Matthew'' around the southern tip of [[Ireland]] and then northwards. They then changed course and sailed westwards until they sighted land on June 21, 1497. It was believed to have been southern Labrador, Newfoundland or Cape Breton Island. He mistakenly believed he had reached the northeastern coast of Asia and set sail for England less than a month later on July 20, 1497. When the Matthew reached England, the people called Cabot ‘The Great Admiral’. King Henry was so pleased that he gave John a pension of twenty pounds per annum for the rest of his life. In 1498, John left on another voyage with five ships and three hundred men. One ship experienced trouble and soon made for an Irish port. The other four were never heard of again. He may have reached America again but it is believed the expedition was lost at sea. John Cabot’s great love of the sea brought the great mariner to a tragic early death.

Delaware

Taxsmart1: /* History */

[[Image:Delaware_State_Flag.gif|thumb|right|The state flag of Delaware.]]

'''Delaware''' was the first state to sign the [[Articles of Confederation]] on February 5, 1778 to enter into the Union.

==History==

Henry Hudson, under the Dutch flag is credited with Delawares discovery in 1609. The following year Capt Samuel Argall of Virginia named Delaware for his colony's governor, Thomas West, Baron De La Warr. An attempted Dutch settlement failed in 1631. Swedish colonization began at Fort Christina (now Wilmington) in 1638, but New Sewden fell to Dutch forces led by New Netherlands' governor Peter Stuyveant in 1655. England took over the area in 1664.{http://www.factmonster.com} Delaware is the 45th most populous state <ref>[http://www.census.gov/population/projections/state/9525rank/deprsrel.txt]</ref>. Originally founded as the "Three Lower Counties" of [[Pennsylvania]], in 1701 [[William Penn]] agreed to allow Delaware to have its own Assembly to meet in New Castle, while Pennsylvania's met in Philadephia. Delaware was one of the original Thirteen Colonies and is known as the "First State". This motto appears on Delaware's license plates.

==Geography==

Delaware is the second smallest state, with [[Rhode Island]] being the smallest. Delaware is bounded by Pennsylvania to the north, Delaware River, [[New Jersey]] and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and Maryland to the west and south.

Delaware's border with Maryland was surveyed by the infamous team of Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon. Mason and Dixon also established the border between Pennsylvania and Delaware. To do this, they mapped out a circle with a twelve mile radius from the top of the courthouse in New Castle, DE. The arc extends over to the low-tide mark on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River. This border is unique as most boundaries along watercourses split the water at the midpoint of the main flow channel. The location of this border has been the subject of multiple Supreme Court cases as seen here: <ref>[http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=295&invol=694]</ref>

==Economy==
Some of Delaware's largest employers are the State of Delaware, New Castle County, the University of Delaware, DuPont, AstraZeneca, Bank of America, Citigroup, General Motors, DaimlerChrysler and Perdue Farms. Delaware is also home to the Dover Air Force Base, which is one of the largest Air Force Bases in the [[United States]]. Dover AFB is often in the news as it serves as the entry point and mortuary for American military personnel who die overseas.
Delaware has favorable corporate tax laws, which has lead to many large corporations to use Delaware as their headquarters.
Delaware also does not assess sales tax on consumers.

[[Image:Lief Ericson.jpg|300px|right|thumb]]
'''Leif Erikson''' (or Leifur Eiríksson) a rash belligerant man was born in [[Iceland]] in 970 and died in 1020. He was son of [[Eric the Red]] who lived on the West Coast of Greenland and was an outlaw from [[Norway]]. Leifs best friend, Lars Almvig, told a saga of a land far to the west that had been seen through a mist by a Viking band led by Bjarni Herjulfsson in 986 that had been blown off course. To get away from Dad and encouraged by the constant need of land to farm, Leif organized a voyage and bought Bjarni's ship and headed west in about 990 AD. He followed Bjarni's route in reverse, making three landfalls after about 4 1/2 days. The first of these he named Helluland or Flat-Stone Land which is now Labrador. The second was Markland, or Wood Land, possibly Newfoundland. The exact location of the third, which was named Vinland could have been as far north as northern Newfoundland or as far south as Cape Cod or even beyond this. Erikson was a [[Christian]] convert, and spread his new religion to his colonies.
Leif returned to Greenland in 1001. Leif never returned and attempts at settlement of Vinland were unsucessful due to the native North Americans.
