The ancestors of Williamsburg and Thanksgiving.

About 20 years later, the first batch of British immigrants arrived in Victoria coast on 1606; Everyone, *** 144, including the crew, sailed in three sailboats for four months. When they saw the big river, they went upstream, and there were sandbars on the shore. After landing, they built houses around and engaged in adventurous pioneering work. The following year, the English court sent a priest to build the church and named it Jamestown in memory of James I, the son of Queen Mary of Scots. Mary is Elizabeth's cousin, but her cousin killed her head. Unexpectedly, the beheaded cousin's son, after Elizabeth, inherited the unification.

After Jacob moved from the sandbar to the land and built a wooden fence, they died in ruins after the immigrants gradually pushed inland. What is there today is a copy of the original style, and the three boats on display are also replicas.

Many years ago, the famous cartoon "Romance in the Wind", the story of the Indian princess happened at this time. John Smith, the leader of the first immigrants, and the princess each erected a bronze statue in the highlands of the old city. On one side of the church, facing the Jacob River by the silver sand mountains.

It turned out that Smith had an extraordinary experience. He once joined the army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was captured in the battle with the German Empire, and was auctioned as a slave. After killing his master, he drifted to the Mediterranean and was rescued. The first immigrants he led lacked food in the dead of winter after landing, and led people into Indian areas, where they were ambushed and captured. He was saved by thirteen-year-old Indian Gongzhu, and he got help from corn. Many years later, the new immigrants fought a war with the Indians and the princess was captured. She learned English immediately, joined Christianity, and finally got the consent of her father, the patriarch, and married a young farmer, John Rolfe, who successfully planted tobacco. Later, the couple accompanied the governor back to China and were welcomed by the ruling and opposition parties. The princess was awarded the title of "Lady". The following year, a smallpox disaster occurred in England. The princess died of illness, but she left a son who was educated in England. When she grew up, she returned to Victoria and ran away with her father. Today, the Rolf family is quite famous in Victoria.

New immigrants keep pouring in, but they can't find gold, silver and precious stones here, so they have to plant them. At first, they saw mulberry trees everywhere and tried their best to raise silkworms for reeling. Seeing the fine sand by the river, they burned glass to make bottles, made wine with wild fruits, and tried to sell it in Britain, but failed. Smith didn't intend to stay here for a long time, so he bid farewell to the immigrants from Xia Hou during the August 1st Cold War, went north with people who were interested in exploring, drew maps all the way, and returned to England. He wrote four books, all about his experiences at sea and the struggle of immigrants in the New World.

The farm was slowly pushed to the mainland, and the tobacco harvest was bumper, and the European market was unexpectedly developed, which was in short supply for a while. In the fifteenth year, that is, 1620, Dutch ships selling slaves arrived on the coast of Victoria, and cheap labor was equivalent to a new force, which made Victoria and other southern regions change their faces rapidly.

First Jacob, then Williamsburg.

Americans all know the story that 102 ancestors landed on the coast of Massachusetts for the first time in 1620, but they don't miss the first immigrants in the early 14th. The reason is that the first batch of all men came for survival and development; The latter group fled for religious freedom, including women and children.

Or is it because Victoria and Massachusetts commemorate Thanksgiving respectively, and who is early and who is late, there has been a primary and secondary struggle. Finally, in 1864, at the end of the civil war, President Lincoln declared the fourth Thursday of 1 1 month as the legal Thanksgiving Day. At this time of year, there are the most tourists here until the New Year.

Today, when people talk about the course of American democracy, one person has always been respected. He is Thomas Jefferson, the founder of American democracy, the third president of the United States of America, a graduate of William and Mary College, the main drafter of the American Declaration of Independence, and the founder of the University of Virginia, enjoying the reputation of "Jefferson-style democracy". The Democratic Party he founded and led became the predecessor of today's American Democratic Party.

The lens of the Capitol-1776, Jefferson promoted and was responsible for drafting the Virginia Constitution during the Williamsburg town meeting, clearly proposing the "permanent separation" of the legislature, the executive and the judiciary. At the same time, he made a detailed plan and explanation of the organizational structure, personnel arrangement and responsibilities and obligations of the three parts. On June 29th of the same year, the Parliament passed the Virginia Constitution, although the final written constitution made some changes in the structural layout and text expression. The drafting of this constitution is regarded as Jefferson's pioneer in drafting the American Declaration of Independence. 12 Earlier in June, Parliament also passed the Virginia Declaration on Human Rights drafted by George Mason (pictured). Article 16 begins with the declaration that "all people are born equal, free and independent, and enjoy their birthright". The declaration injects democracy and freedom into politics, society, religion and military affairs. In this declaration, it is not difficult to find the profound influence of Jefferson's democratic thought. (Image data of two documents)

William and Mary College, from far to near-the wisdom and ambition of politicians and the gradual maturity and perfection of the political system are inseparable from the cultural education of the early colonies. Among them, William and Mary College is the most important representative.

Panoramic lens-William and Mary College is located at the westernmost end of Duke of Gloucester Street in Williamsburg today, at the intersection of Richmond Road and Jamestown Road. In the lens of the main building, the head of the leader flies in. From left to right, the most academic building still retains the architectural style of King George, which is simple and elegant. William and Mary College is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States after Harvard University. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, james monroe, john tyler and other American presidents, political leader John Randolph, john marshall and other four federal high court justices have been trained successively. In front of the college, the lens of archaeological work-today, William and Mary College is the location of the early American history and cultural research center. Here, open the dusty memory and tell the world quietly that this period of hardship and glory coexist.

In his later years, the weather-beaten Jefferson told his grandson emotionally that Williamsburg had donated money to William and Mary College, which was "by far the best school in etiquette and morality in the United States".
