Raleigh was beheaded at

Whitehall

on 29 October 1618 . "Let us dispatch", he asked his executioner. "At this hour my ague comes upon me. I would not have my enemies think I quaked from fear." After he was allowed to see the axe that would behead him, he mused: "This is a sharp Medicine, but it is a Physician for all diseases and miseries". According to many biographers —

Raleigh Trevelyan

in his book

Sir Walter Raleigh

(2003) for instance — Sir Walter's final words (as he lay ready for the axe to fall) were: "Strike, man, strike!" Slide7

An

indentured servant

is a

laborer

under

contract

to an

employer

for a fixed period of time, typically three to seven years, in exchange for their transportation, food, drink, clothing, lodging and other necessities. Unlike a

slave

, an indentured servant is required to work only for a limited term specified in a signed contract.

What is a

Shallop

?

The replica

shallop

built by Sultana Projects, Inc., traveled 1500 miles along Smith’s routes to help launch the new national water trail in 2007. (Photo by M

Shisler

)

In the 1600s, the word “

shallop

” referred to an open wooden workboat such as a barge, dory, or rowboat.

Shallops

were small enough to row but also had one or two sails.

Captain John Smith’s

shallop

could carry 15 men.  It was probably about 30 feet long and 8 feet wide. It drew less than 2 feet of water, which was important for navigating the shallow waters of the Chesapeake Bay and many of the tributaries. Like most English boats of the period, the

shallop

was built of oak planks fastened together with wooden pegs. It had at least one mast and one or two sails made of hemp canvas.Slide41

Captain John Smith created the first detailed map of the Chesapeake Region. His masterpiece map of Virginia, published in 1612, remained in active use for seven decades and opened this part of North America to European exploration, settlement, and trade. The geographical accuracy is astounding given that Smith traveled about 2500 miles in a series of short expeditions and had only primitive mapmaking tools to work with. Slide43

City upon a hill

is a phrase derived from the metaphor of

Salt and Light

in the

Sermon on the Mount

of

Jesus

given in the

Gospel of Matthew

. Matthew 5:14 states "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden."

This phrase entered the American lexicon early in its history, with

John Winthrop

's

sermon

"A Model of Christian Charity," given in 1630. Winthrop warned the

Puritan

colonists of

New England

who were to found the

Massachusetts Bay Colony

that their new community would be a "city upon a hill," watched by the world:

For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken... we shall be made a story and a by-word throughout the world. We shall open the mouths of enemies to speak evil of the ways of God... We shall shame the faces of many of God's worthy servants, and cause their prayers to be turned into curses upon us

til

we be consumed out of the good land whither we are a-going.

The speech is believed to be given when aboard the

not long before landing.Slide46

A

printing press is a mechanical device for applying pressure to an inked surface resting upon a medium (such as paper or cloth), thereby transferring an image. The mechanical systems involved were first assembled in

Germany

by the

goldsmith

Johannes Gutenberg

around 1440, based on existing screw-presses used to press cloth, grapes, etc. andSlide47

The

St. Bartholomew's Day massacre

(

Massacre de la Saint-Barthélemy

in

French

) in 1572 was a targeted group of assassinations, followed by a wave of

Roman Catholic

mob violence

, both directed against the

Huguenots

(French

Calvinist

Protestants

),

Lasting several weeks, the massacre extended to other urban

centres

and the countryside. Modern estimates for the number of dead vary widely between 5,000 and 30,000 in total.
