But he believed that he had found the Far East. The American continent was named after Amerigo Vespucci. He was a noble man from Florence and helped to organize Columbus’s second voyage in 1493. As early as 1532 most Europeans were calling the new continent “America”. But the USA was originally peopled by Indians. They had probably arrived 10,000 to 30,000 years before and came from Asia to North America by way of Bering Strait. The first permanent white settlers in North America were founded at St. Augustine in Florida by the Spaniards in 1565, and the first permanent English colony Jamestown was established in 1607 in Virginia. It was named after the English king James I. The history of English settlement in America began on a beautiful April morning in 1607. At that time three ships anchored near the mouth of Chesapeake Bay. The men went ashore and found “fair meadows, and good tall trees” and much fresh water. Soon the white settlers found out from the Indians how to grow tobacco. Tobacco was very popular in Europe and Virginia became a rich colony. The Red Indians did much to help the white settlers in the new land. Then the whites began to take their lands and the Indians began to fight for their rights. So terrible wars started. The Indians did not have the weapons and were defeated. An important event in the colonization of North America took place in 1620. A group of colonists, the Pilgrim Fathers, came to North America on the famous ship the Mayflower. The Pilgrim Fathers were Separatists in England, or members of the Puritan movement. They wished to purify the Church of England. They tried to make religious services simpler and discipline stricter. This is why they were called Puritans. They were persecuted by English officials, and so many of them had to leave England for the New World on the ship the Mayflower. These Puritans began to call themselves Pilgrims because of their wanderings in search of religious freedom. After 65 days at sea the ship landed in Provincetown Harbour at Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The Pilgrim leaders had to organize their lives in the new land. So they decided to establish rules of their behaviour. They had a meeting and chose their first governor. They also signed a special document. It was known as the Mayflower Compact. The document was the first agreement for self-government in America. Задание 10.
