Based upon information found in your textbook, summarize the authors’ description of Lenape
(Delaware) society found in Unit 1.
Answer:
Lenape society, like other Native American groups, had a different way of organizing themselves compared to Europeans:
Family Line: They followed a family system where your family and inheritance came from your mom's side, unlike Europeans who focused on the dad's side.
Leadership Style: Leaders didn't just give orders; they influenced others by being a good example, convincing people, and sharing gifts. It was about working together.
Women's Roles: Women were important decision-makers. They could express their views on things like going to war, even though the final decision was made by men. This was different from European societies.
Resistance to Change: When Europeans tried to make them change their ways, especially turning warriors into farmers, Lenape people resisted. They saw this change as making them more like women, and they didn't want that.
So, Lenape society was unique, valuing cooperation, respecting women's opinions, and resisting changes imposed by Europeans.

Using information from the lecture, discuss the founding of Virginia. Provide details concerning
both political and agricultural developments in the colony.
Answer: The founding of Virginia involved both political and agricultural developments. Politically, the London Company established the first permanent English colony at Jamestown in 1607 under a charter from King James I. The governance of the colony evolved, with land eventually given to settlers, leading to the formation of the House of Burgesses in 1619 as the first elective legislature in America, providing a model for representative government.
Agriculturally, the colony faced early hardships due to the settlers' lack of interest in farming and a challenging environment. However, the introduction of tobacco cultivation by John Rolfe, acquired from Native Americans,
transformed Virginia's economy. Tobacco became a profitable cash crop, leading to the importation of indentured servants and, eventually, African slaves to meet labor demands. These developments were foundational to Virginia's growth and stability as a colony.
