In late August 1619, an English privateer, the White Lion arrived at Point Comfort in Virginia with "20 and odd Negroes." Possessing only their knowledge, beliefs and customs, they were traded for supplies and became part of the workforce for the new... Jamestown colony. These were the first documented Africans to arrive in Virginia. Africans would play a key role in the survival of the Jamestown colony and contribute to the evolution of the rich cultural diversity found in our country today. (2:04)

In which John Green teaches you about the (English) colonies in what is now the United States. He covers the first permanent English colony at Jamestown, Virginia, the various theocracies in Massachusetts, the feudal kingdom in Maryland, and even a b...it about the spooky lost colony at Roanoke Island. What were the English doing in America, anyway? Lots of stuff. In Virginia, the colonists were largely there to make money. In Maryland, the idea was to create a a colony for Catholics who wanted to be serfs of the Lords Baltimore. In Massachusetts, the Pilgrims and Puritans came to America to find a place where they could freely persecute those who didn't share their beliefs. But there was a healthy profit motive in Massachusetts as well. Profits were thin at first, and so were the colonists. Trouble growing food and trouble with the natives kept the early colonies from success. (12:26)
