Question

Or did the English establish a colony in Virginia first?

Answer 1

1500, the first Portuguese explorers, led by Pedro Álvares Cabral, disembarked in Brazil, where nowadays Porto Seguro is located. They had the first contact with the Indigenous of Brazil. At first time, the Portuguese thought they had discovered an island, but soon found they were in a new continent. In the first years, just a few Portuguese settled in Brazil, most of them living among the Amerindians.

is a state in the southern United States. Named after Queen Elizabeth I of England, who was known as the Virgin Queen, this commonwealth was one of the original thirteen colonies that revolted against British rule in the American Revolution. Virginia was the first part of the Americas to be continuously inhabited by English colonists from its founding as a European colony up to the American Revolution. It included area explored by the 1584 expedition of Sir Walter Raleigh along the coast of North America, and at one time it also included Bermuda (or Virgineola). The London Virginia Company became incorporated as a joint stock company by a proprietary charter drawn up on April 10, 1606. The charter granted lands stretching from approximately the 34th parallel (North Carolina) north to approximately the 45th parallel (New York) and from the Atlantic Ocean westward (although the Third Charter of 1612 extended its boundaries far enough across the Atlantic to incorporate Bermuda, which the company had been in possession of since 1609). The capital is Richmond and the largest city is Virginia Beach.

Virginia is known as the "Mother of Presidents", because it is the birthplace of eight U.S. presidents (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Woodrow Wilson), exceeded by no other state. Most of the United States' early presidents were from the state. Virginia has also been known as the "Mother of States", because portions of the original Colony subsequently became Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, and West Virginia as well as some portions of Ohio.




Pedro Álvares CabralDuring the 16th and 17th centuries, Portuguese emigration to Brazil was very low. The Portuguese Crown was expanding its Empire in Asia, and cared little about the new lands in the Americas. However, many pirates, mainly French, were already dealing pau brasil with the Amerindians. This situation worried Portugal, and in 1530, it effectively started to colonize Brazil.

The first Portuguese colonists started to settle in large numbers in the middle 16th century, along the coast of Brazil, where the first Portuguese villages were established. Many of these colonists were degredados: deported convicts, such as thieves and murders, who had been given the choice of death or exile.

During the 17th century, most Portuguese settlers in Brazil were rich people, who moved to the northeastern part of the country to establish the first sugar plantations. At the same time, Sephardi Jews were being expelled from Portugal. Some of these emigrated to Brazil, where the first Jewish community in the Americas was established. Some Portuguese-Gypsies also immigrated to Brazil during this time.

Most of these Portuguese were men. The number of Portuguese women in Brazil during the colonial period was low, because they were afraid to bring females to Brazil. For that reason, many Portuguese men had relationships with Amerindian women and later with female African slaves, resulting a large mixed-race population.
