Hey Tyler, do your own homework! The same time it took for you to ask the question, is the same time it will take for you to google it. When you have a test, we won't be there.

Answer 2

Jamestown was the first successful British colony in the New World. Saint Augustine was Spanish, the French were in Canada and the future western battlegrounds, and the Scandinavians had toured centuries before.

The British had founded a colony on Roanoke Island that failed and was later named the Lost Colony (whose inhabitants no more called it that and a coin would be found with a BC date on it).

Another line of power was created in the founding of New England beginning at Plymouth Rock. These two power centers evolved into the struggle between Northern states and Southern states - which would last for centuries - and the struggle between large states, e.g. Virginia, and small states, e.g. Rhode Island, which was largely resolved in a bicameral compromise wherein legislative power was distributed across two chambers with shared and with distinct roles and powers, one of which was composed of a fixed number of members from each state - two Senators with equal power of any from any other state - and the other of which was filled with representatives of roughly equal numbers of population - giving large states more members therein than small states (in population) had.

Virginia, being the first successful colony, established relations with native tribes before the New England colonies did, although both peace and violence comprised both attempts. Roanoke Island is thought to have perished because of its dismal failure at establishing these relations.
