Before the arrival of the English, the Spanish influence in the New World extended from the Chesapeake Bay to the tip of South America. Spanish possessions included the developing cities of Mexico, Peru, and Cuba. Along the northern edge of Spain’s l...and were small missions and “presidios” or fortresses that stretched from the Atlantic coast, ran along the Gulf of Mexico and extended into the plains of Texas and the Rio Grande River valley. In 1585, Sir Walter Raleigh took on one of the first English settlement attempts. He set up a colony of about 100 men on the east coast of North America, on land he named Virginia after Queen Elizabeth I, who being unmarried, was known as the “Virgin Queen.” These settlers only lasted for a year before returning home. Then, in 1587, Raleigh made a second attempt at settling a colony at Roanoke, Virginia.

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)
