PARTI AMERICAN LITERATURE IN THE COLONIAL PERIOD (1607?1700)
Historical Introduction
The 15th century was a time for great geographic discoveries. In October 1492, Christopher Columbus (1451?1506) discovered the new continent called America. In fact, before the so-called “America” existed, the large area of land was home to many groups of people of different cultures. The first settlers in America were the Asians known as the ancestors of American Indians or Native Americans, who were following animals across Siberia and infused new life to the uninhabited continent several thousand years before Christopher Columbus. These people were the first “natives” on the American continent. The discovery of America by Columbus led to the rush of European immigrants into this fascinating and strange continent. In the early sixteenth century, the colonists, English and European explorers, arrived in the vast new continental area. Therefore the European powers began the exploration of the new continent and competed against each other in occupying the New World. It was not until early in the
seventeenth century that the English began their settlement of the North American continent. These groups have helped establish this place we call “America.” The period of colonization covered the years from 1607 to 1776, that is, from the first settlement of English colonists to the independence of the United States.
Thanks largely to war with Spain and a great expansion of sea trade in the reign of Elizabeth I (1558?1603), Englishmen attempted to establish permanent colonies in America. The English settlement in America began in 1607, when Captain Christopher Newport anchored his three storm-beaten ships near the mouth of Chesapeake Bay. The English settlers laid out Jamestown as their first permanent settlement in America, and then in rapid succession other English colonies emerged one after another. In order to solve the problem of labor, the settlers turned their at
