Politically correct .....Hmmmmm\n\nI agree that they should be called by whatever they call themselves, the settlers took their land (eventually) let us not take their birthright. We are Americans because we live in America. If the earliest settlers called the land Downtown we would be downtowners.. Since we are new in this land, having left our "homeland" ....let me simplify this..\n\nAccepted - this is America, good ole USA (right or wrong)\n\n Say an Englander moves here for permanant living. He legally becomes a citizen. He is not an English American, he is American. A person from Asia moves here and legally becomes a citizen, they are now American, not Asian American. If I was to leave USA and move to another country and become a citizen, say Canada. I would then be Canadian, not American Canadian.\nAnd as such should learn that country's ways, language and way of living. \nIf people did away with this horth thit of attaching another country to their name and live as one in the country that is theirs, all would be better...VOTE FOR ME IN 2008 (Just Kidding)

I believe the Register of Ships from that time will be at the National Archives. You can try searching online for the details of it here:\nhttp://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/rdleaflet.asp?sleafletid=132&j=1\n\nAccording to this site it arrived August 1682 at Upland, Chester County, Pennsylvania.\nhttp://freespace.virgin.net/alan.tupman/sites/ships_us.htm

Have you ever heard about Roanoke? It was one of the very first european colonies in America. People were dropped off on an island to start a settlement, and then they had completely disappeared when another group arrived 3 years later. It's one of the USA's biggest mysteries!

The English settlement of South Carolina dates back to 1670. Surveyors have been involved and a part of South Carolina's growth and associated pains since. In 1670, the streets of Charles Town settlement covered only nine acres and was surrounded by water on three sides.The first settlers obtained title to the land only after going through a cumbersome process. The settler would appear before the governor and the Council to make a request for the land. The governor would then issue a warrant for the land. The warrant was taken to the secretary who recorded it.\n\nThe warrant was an order to the surveyor general to make a plat of the land. The surveyor general drew up a plat and a "return of survey". The settler took these papers to the secretary who would check them against the original record and then certify the plat. A copy of the certified plat was recorded and the original plat was given to the prospective grantee. The secretary then drew up a "sealed grant" which had to be taken to the governor and to the council for their signatures.\n\nFinally, the land grant was recorded in an official register. All of the registration had to occur within ninety days of receiving the plat or the grant was void.\n\nSoon, the office of surveyor general could not keep up with drawing and registration of plats. Short cuts were found. Abstracts replaced the original lengthy warrants. The Council became tired of listening to petitions and delegated that role to subordinates. The surveyor general subleased the plat-making to deputy surveyors.\n\nAll fee schedules had to be posted in a prominent place. For nearly a century, the fee for surveying one acre was a half penny sterling. Platting and returning a survey was eleven shillings and eight pence and the running of old lines for any person, or between parties, was fourteen shillings sterling per day.\n\nEarly life in the colony probably sucked, as the land was previously unsettled, and there was always someone moving in trying to usurp rights.  Add to that the monarchy controlling daily life, and you've got a recipe for a pretty crappy existence, at least at first.

Yeah, could be the Articles of Confederation.  Or it could be the Mayflower Compact...the settlers had written that up before they even arrived.

There's still disagreement about just where Columbus first saw the new world and set foot upon its shores.  No one knows for sure.\n\nHere are some sites that may be helpful to you.  Best of luck.

Social Studies\n\nAmerica began as colonies of England, France, Spain, and the Netherlands.

I will only help if I can be cited in the essay.  \n\nThere was a triangle of trade.  Manufactured goods would be sent to Africa.  From Africa, slaves were sent to the Caribbean or North America.  Then from the Caribbean or North America goods such as Rice, Sugar, Tobacco, Rum, and Cotton were shipped back to England.\nThat is what I learned in history but for a detailed explanation check out the site below:

It would have been 1 pence.\nJamestown is the first English settlement in the United States and the settlement was in 1607, Shakespeare died in 1616.\n\nThere were no dollars until after the revolution in 1776. Most of the money was English and a little Spanish. (Remember pieces of 8, they could be broken into 8 pieces.)\n\nHope this helps.

i'm not sure which historical place you mean

Where do you get your information that the settlers were stealing from Indian graves?  And if this is true, you're putting way to bad of a slant on it.  The settlers of Massachusetts were a very religious group that would just steal unless it was a matter of survival more than likely.  What would you do for your family in a life and death situation?  Don't taint our country's history by making the settlers at Plymouth sound like a group of selfish and careless people.  Their first winter was very difficult, and they had to learn how to live all over again.  As for teaching this to elementary students, I think they would be a little young to understand the whole truth.  An older group of students would be able to grasp the details better and know that nothing was malicious in their acts, whatever their acts may have been.  Regardless of the truth, it should be told.  The truth shouldn't be twisted, but made to be understood.  Obviously there are adults out there that can't grasp the meaning behind some things either.
