Bacon's Rebellion- Bacon’s Rebellion took place in 1676. 1,000 freedmen took down an Indian revolt, torched Jamestown, and chased William Berkeley out of town (he was the governor). So What?

-Why did JamesTown come so close to failing in its early years? Jamestown, located on the James River in Virginia, was a swampy, marshy place to live. It was hot during the summer and cold in the winter, making it an unfavorable place to dwell, especially if you were an uppercut aristocrat from England. Before Jamestown existed though, a group of investors asked King James the First to allow them a royal charter, to set up a colony in the New World, who’s sole purpose was to export goods from the New World and send them back to the English Empire.
Looking back to the 1500s, the English had been situating settlements in Ireland and used a familiar model in the New World. The early years of Jamestown were difficult for the settlers. The land was hot, humid, and mosquito-infested, and the settlers were mostly aristocrats and artisans that spent much of their time searching for gold. Those who didn’t die on the trip, died once they arrived from diseases and starvation. In 1607, about 3 ships-each holding more than 100 English passengers, arrived on the Chesapeake Bay region of Virginia.
Captain John Smith had the greatest impact on Samuel's development during his time in Jamestown.

As you can see Captain Smith had the greatest impact of Samuel's development in Jamestown by teaching him to control his anger.

When Berkeley arrived, Nathaniel Bacon left with 200 of his men looking for a better place to hold a meeting. Berkeley then declared Nathaniel Bacon a rebel and issued a pardoning to Bacon's fleet if they went home and didn’t provoke conflict. Berkeley said that if Bacon did go home peacefully that he would have to give up his place in the council, but he was going to be given a just trial for his actions. However, Bacon refused to quit his fight. Instead, he attacked the village of some friendly Indians.
Hatred was brewing within Virginia, but nothing major broke out until a violent fight spread in the middle of Jamestown between a group of Native Americans and English Settlers. This fight, which was said to have killed 2 settlers and injured many more, was the moment the rebellion truly started (Charles II.). Although the fight was between something small, Bacon used the tension and vulnerability in the colony to spread his message and
General Benedict Arnold was at one time an American military hero, who literally sacrificed his body in defense of the United States but defected to the British Army during the American Revolutionary War. Arnold’s position as a military general plays a major role in the public’s opinion of Arnold’s actions. As a general, Arnold was trusted by the public to protect them from both foreign and domestic threats, therefore Arnold’s treason is especially heinous because he turned his back to the people he was swore to protect. Though Arnold’s plan was ultimately unsuccessful, his betrayal to the public was his real root of his treason. Former vice president Aaron Burr’s act of treason was his attempt to start a new nation by using land leased from the Spanish in the Louisiana and Mexico Territories.
Nyasia Midgette October 2, 2017 HIUS-(221) LUO Roanoke: The Lost Colony When most people think of the early settlement they think of the first successful settlement, Jamestown, but this was not the first settlement in the New World. The settlement at Roanoke was the first attempt to colonize the New World. The settlement at Roanoke is often referred to as the “Lost Colony” because of its unusual disappearance. The reason people often do not know about the first settlement at Roanoke is because it was abandoned, forgotten, and lost. Roanoke Island is just off the coast of North Carolina.
Betrayal: the act of betraying someone or something or the fact of being betrayed: violation of a person's trust or confidence, of a moral standard, etc. (Merriam Webster.) Betrayal, at its core, is change, disappointment, and pain. It is about the subversion of expectations, where what is given is far less than what is expected. In literary works, it is a simple device used to drive plots forward and create complex characters.
During 1607-1611, early Jamestown colonists died to many reasons like starvation, occupations, and drought. Colonists did not have many resources to live a long life. That is why they died so fast through 1607-1611. Colonists died because they tried to find a new settlement for more land so they can have more resources and for a stronger defense, but instead they got attacked and there was not a lot of food there to feed them all. Colonists died by attacks by Indians.

When it seems that someone is betraying the other, that very person might believe that they are in fact being loyal. In many of the situations that happened in the book, when someone was betrayed, there was often an opposite perspective which thought they were in fact being loyal to that person. When Najwa was betrayed by her family and forced to marry a complete stranger, her family believed that they were being loyal to her virtue and the culture’s traditions where she could have a safe, prosperous life with a man who could support her. When Suleiman betrayed his family thus betraying the dissidents, he felt he was being loyal to the family’s views unaware he was giving them up over to the government. The betrayal of people are sometimes given with the gift of loyalty.
