Nearly 400 years ago, three ships set sail from Blackwall, England, overcoming the fierce waves of the Atlantic to deliver 104 daring explorers to Virginia, in what was then known as the "New World." On the banks of the James River, they founded Jamestown in 1607, marking the first permanent English settlement in the Americas. This year marks America’s 400th Anniversary?"a time to remember this transformative journey and the foundations it laid for our nation. From local festivals to international gatherings, 2006 and 2007 will celebrate this groundbreaking moment in history.
Despite challenges like disease, famine, and conflicts with the native Algonquians, the Jamestown colony persevered, leaving three major legacies:
- Representative Government: The first democratically elected assembly in the New World convened at Jamestown church on July 30, 1619. This assembly paved the way for today’s democratic institutions.
- Cultural Diversity: Jamestown united three cultures?"Virginia Indians, Europeans, and Africans?"creating a multicultural society that continues to influence our lives.
