(The Starving Time..)<span> at Jamestown in the English Colony of Virginia was a period of forced starvation initiated by the Powhatan Confederacy to remove the English from Virginia. The campaign killed all but 60 of 601 colonists during the winter of 1609-1610. The colonists, the first group of whom had originally arrived at Jamestown on May 14, 1607, had never planned to grow all of their own food. Instead, their plans depended upon trade with the local American Indian Powhatan Confederacy to supply them with food between the arrival of periodic supply ships from England. However, the efforts by anti-English, leaders amongst the Powhatan Confederacy succeeded in isolating the tenuous English colony. Additionally, lack of access to water and a relatively dry rain season crippled the agricultural production of the colonists. After Captain John Smith's return to England in October 1609, the Powhatan placed the colony completely under siege and attempted to end the English settlement through starvation. A fleet from England, damaged by a hurricane, arrived months behind schedule with new colonists, but without expected food supplies. On June 7, 1610 the survivors boarded ships, abandoned the colony site, and sailed towards the Chesapeake Bay. However, another supply convoy with new supplies and headed by a newly-appointed governor, Thomas West, Baron De La Warr, intercepted the colonists on the lower James River and returned them to Jamestown. Within a few years, the commercialization of tobacco by John Rolfe secured the settlement's long-term economic prosperity.</span>

Según Redman, ¿Cuál fue el primer gran cambio que se produjo en la forma
Degger [83]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta es la siguiente.

Desafortunadamente, no incluyes algún texto, artículo, libro, o cualquier referencia sobre Redman.

Sin embargo, con el deseo de ayudarte con algo, podemos comentar lo siguiente.

El primer gran cambio que se produjo en la forma de alimentación del hombre sucedió cuando el humano dejo de ser un nómada y se convirtió en sedentario. Esto significa que como nómada, el humano viajaba por todos lados siguiendo a las manadas para cazar animales y así poder alimentar a sus familias.

Pero cuando el humano comenzó a aprender técnicas de agricultura, pudo asentarse en un sólo lugar para poder cultivar y así quedarse en ese sitio y desarrollar una vida.

No, no comenzó en todo el mundo. Comenzó cuando los Sumerios se asentaron por primera vez en medio de los Ríos Tigris y Éufrates, en la región del Medio Este, en donde ahora es Irak.

Ahí aprovecharon las inundaciones de los ríos para que la tierra fértil produjera abundantes cosechas. A partir de ahí, construyeron impresionantes ciudades-estado como Lagash, Nippur, Eridu, Ur, y Uruk.

What is the headright system?
ser-zykov [4K]

Question

What is the headright system?

Answer:

Well a headright system is a legal grant of land to settlers. Headrights are most notable for their role or duty in the expansion of the thirteen British colonies in North America; the Virginia Company of London gave headrights to settlers, and the Plymouth Company followed suit.

Actually, the headright system was first created in 1618 in Jamestown, Virginia. It was used as a passage to attract new settlers to the region and address the labor shortage. With the emergence of tobacco farming, a vast supply of workers was needed. New settlers who paid their way to Virginia received 50 acres of land. However, most of the workers who arrived in Virginia were indentured servants, people who pledged to perform five to seven years of labor.
