The transformation of Virginia from fledgling colony on the outpost of empire to a frontier model of English society did not occur without significant interactions between colonizers and Natives. By most accounts, the second half of the seventeenth century witnessed a transformation in Virginia, setting forth political, economic, racial, and class distinctions that typified Virginia for the next three centuries. Power became consolidated in the hands of a few wealthy landowners who looked to slave labor to run their plantation economy. Social stratification increased and the planters eventually became the political and cultural authorities in the colony. English colonists had great concerns about how to interact with their Native neighbors, concerns that determined English settlement, trade, and diplomacy, and eventually set the stage for Indian relocation, displacement, and removal. Many of the powerful families that emerged to dominate Virginia's history gained their start through Native trade and diplomacy in this transformative period and that will be a central focus of this work"--Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Indians of North America -- Virginia -- History British Americans -- Virginia -- History Colonists -- Virginia -- History Indians of North America -- Virginia -- Treaties Indians of North America -- Commerce -- Virginia -- History Enslaved Indians -- Virginia -- History Social change -- Virginia -- History HISTORY -- United States -- Colonial Period (1600-1775) British Americans Colonists Ethnic relations Enslaved Indians Indians of North America Indians of North America -- Commerce Social change SUBJECT Virginia -- History -- Colonial period, ca. 1600-1775. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85143765 Virginia -- Ethnic relations -- History -- 17th century Virginia -- Ethnic relations -- History -- 18th century Subject Virginia Genre/Form History Treaties Form Electronic book ISBN 9780820350240 0820350249
