Case Study: Chesapeake Bay Business

The different people who started settling in New England and the Chesapeake region could have come from the same country. But what they were looking for made a lot of sense which was; economic, religious and also their social differences. Their different societies started to lead on to different economics. Religion for New England was the most important, it was their goal in life, they wanted to be a religious example. There were a lot of social differences, and of course differences in people as well.

Throughout the early 1600s and late 1700s, many left their home countries in Europe to colonize the New World. Most notably were English pilgrims who sailed the Atlantic in large numbers and settled two major regions along the Eastern coast of North America. These regions soon became known as New England and the Chesapeake Bay areas. Though both were established predominantly by the English, both regions had their own and unique identities. These identities were established through regional economic motives, population differences and religious intensities.

The populations of blacks in the Chesapeake area remained relatively small for the most part in the seventeenth century. It constituted just five percent of the population in 1675. In 1619, the Africans arrived in Virginia most likely via the Dutch. The Dutch dominated the slave trade until the middle of the eighteenth century. The lives of the Africans were similar to those of white servants whom they worked with sharing the harsh work routines and living conditions. Through working together and living together, the white and black laborers formed relationships. More than often, together they would conspire to steal from their masters and run off together. If caught, they would receive similar harsh punishments. They also had much more in

Indentured servants where men and women who signed a contract to work for a certain number of years, usually between four and seven, in exchange for transportation to the colonies. The Chesapeake Bay colonies, Virginia and Maryland, where especially condition to use indentured servants. During this essay I will explain why the Chesapeake Bay colonies were in such need of the servants and why eventually they turned to slavery to fill the void left by the indentured servants.

As a result of the Christopher Columbus’ first voyage to the ‘New World,’ it was soon bombarded by wealth seeking explorers and conquistadors from all over Europe. The Spanish explorers first came and soon the English, but it wasn’t until 1607 that English colonization began with the settlement of Jamestown. Jamestown was not a perfect establishment at first, it failed but through many attempts it strived. Similar to the attempts needed to make Jamestown successful, following colonies had to establish their own beliefs and systems. Prior to 1700, both the Massachusetts and Virginia colonies were essential to the growth of English development by achieving economic growth through indentured servitude and later, slaves. Massachusetts made way for a more peaceful, diverse and respectful colony as Chesapeake Bay was violent and mainly centered around the separation of whites and heathens, achieving a ‘safer’ colony.

The Chesapeake Bay is the nation’s largest estuary with six major tributaries, the James, the Potomac, the Susquehanna, the Patuxent, the York, and the Rappahannock Rivers, feeding into the bay from various locations in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia (Chemical Contaminants in the Chesapeake Bay – Workshop Discussion 1). These areas depend on the Bay as both an environmental and an economic resource. Throughout the last 15 years the Chesapeake Bay has suffered from elevated levels of pollution. Nitrogen and phosphorous from wastewater treatment plants, farmland, air pollution, and development all lead to reduced water clarity and lowered oxygen levels, which harm fish, crabs, oysters and

Overall the best solution from the three is to plant more trees around Chesapeake Bay so it will clean the air. A positive environmental consequence is that the more trees that they plant will make the air cleaner. When the air is cleaner it will decrease the chance of acid rain, and acid rain will make the water worse for the animals. If the animals stay alive then more of the wildlife will come back and that will revive the ecosystem around the bay. A negative environmental would be that the trees will take a long time to grow. It takes 3-4 years for a normal tree to grow, that is way to long to wait for the pollution problem to be
