What was America like 300 years ago? I feel that I am longing for that scene.
/kloc-at the beginning of the 0/7th century, the tide of immigrants began to flow from Europe to North America. In more than three centuries, the migration of British immigrants with only a few hundred people at first gradually turned into a tidal migration of one million people. Driven by various powerful motives, they finally established a new civilization on this once barren continent.
Long after the Spanish established prosperous colonies in Mexico, the West Indies and South America, the first British immigrants crossed the Atlantic to what is now called the United States. Like the early travelers who poured into this new world, they came here in crowded boats. During the six to twelve weeks' journey, they can only eat very little food. Many passengers died of illness on the way; Ships are often attacked by storms, and some ships sink in the vast sea.
Those tired travelers really feel like a heavy burden when they see the American coast. A historian wrote: "The smell a hundred miles away is as fragrant as a garden full of flowers and trees. The first new continent that immigrants saw was a lush forest. At that time, Indians lived in the forest, and most of them were hostile to outsiders. Therefore, on the one hand, immigrants have to cope with the hard daily life, on the other hand, they have to guard against Indian attacks. However, the endless virgin forest stretching 2 100 km from north to south along the east coast will be a huge treasure house, which can provide abundant food and fuel, as well as rich raw materials for building houses, making furniture, shipbuilding and profitable export commodities.
The first permanent British colony in America was Jamestown, which was a trading fortress established in Virginia in 1607. This place is rich in tobacco leaves, which can continuously supply the British market, so the economy will soon prosper. By 1620, when British women were lured to Virginia to get married and start a family, many large plantations with thousands of people had been established along the James River.
