What happened to slavery after the invention of the cotton gin? Explain why
Based on the reading, infer why the Middle and New England Colonies had less slaves than the Southern Colonies :-)
Do you believe in the innate goodness of human beings...for example, prisoners and debtors (people who owe money) might prosper if given the right set of circumstances? Explain why you feel that way.
Oglethorpe's Georgia Colony Utopian Plan
- No Slavery permitted or alcohol allowed
- Each debtor/prisoner received 50 acres of land to farm
- Everyone would receive silkworms to develop an industry using Georgia's native mulberry trees
The plan itself was a miserable failure. Georgia residents complained that some citizens received fertile land while others were forced to work uncooperative soil. Since they could not buy or sell their land, they felt trapped. The mulberry tree plan failed, because the trees in Georgia were the wrong type for cultivating silk. The alcohol ban was openly flouted. Cries to permit slavery followed as the Georgians envied the success of their neighbors. Eventually many simply fled the colony for the Carolinas. King George revoked the charter in 1752 and Georgia became a royal colony. One of the world's best organized utopian experiments came to an abrupt end.

Avalon was Too Cold
Lord Baltimore, also known as George Calvert, 1st Baron of Baltimore, was interested in the English colonization of the New World to establish a refuge for England's Catholic population. Calvert was instrumental in the British settlement of Avalon, located off of the coast of Canada's Newfoundland. Calvert, however, became discouraged with the colony's cold climate and sought a more temperate place to start a colony farther south.
A Catholic Refuge
In 1692, Calvert arrived in Jamestown, Virginia. The residents of Jamestown, however, opposed Catholicism and ordered him to leave. Calvert returned to Virginia determined to earn a charter for his colony from the Crown. Short on money, and in declining health, his persistence finally paid off when he was awarded about 12 million acres of land north of the Potomac River. Calvert, however, died at the age of 52 just five weeks before his charter was approved. Calvert's son, Cecil, would become the next Lord Baltimore and would be in charge of the colony's affairs. On November 22, 1663, 200 Catholic colonists left England on the ships Ark and Dove and landed on March 24, 1664, on what was then called Blackstone Island (now St. Clement's Island).
