Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who organized the Roanoke colony in Virginia in 1585?

Answer: Sir Walter Raleigh

The Roanoke colony was organized by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1585. It was located in what was to become colonial Virginia. Three years after the last shipment of supplies was sent to the colony, it vanished. It is still not known what became of the inhabitants of the colony.

2. Which Spanish monarch organized the 'Invincible Armada,' which launched an attack on England in 1588?

Answer: Philip II

The 'Invincible Armada' was sent by Philip II of Spain to overthrow Queen Elizabeth I of England, and to thwart English presence in the Spanish Netherlands. The Armada's presence in English waters resulted in the Battle of Gravelines, which the English won decisively.

The Armada achieved none of its aims and returned to Spain, badly battered and reduced. The fiasco resulted in severe blow to Spanish prestige, a huge increase in Spain's debts and left England relatively much more powerful in the Atlantic.

3. In what year was Jamestown, Virginia established?

Answer: 1607

Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in the Americas. It was established on May 24, 1607. Jamestown remained the capital of the colony of Virginia until 1699.

4. What was the winter of 1609-1610 called in Jamestown, Virginia?

Answer: The Starving Time

The colonists residing in Jamestown suffered from lack of food during the bitterly cold winter of 1609-1610. Only 60 of the original 400 arrivals survived.

5. Which Englishman perfected the process of raising and curing tobacco?

Answer: John Rolfe

In 1612, John Rolfe perfected the raising and curing of tobacco. Because of his work, the crop quickly became popular in Virginia, as there was a high demand for tobacco in England.

6. African slaves made up what percentage of Virginia's population by 1650?

Answer: 14%

The first Africans that arrived in colonial Virginia were indentured servants. They became free after they had worked for a certain number of years. Later in the 1600s, the practice of slavery became more prominent, as planters needed long term workers to care for their tobacco fields.

7. Which colony was the fourth English colony to be established?

Answer: Maryland

The colony of Maryland was established in 1632 by Lord Baltimore. Baltimore intended that the colony be used as a haven for English Catholics. Even though the colony was intended for Catholics, the colony displayed unprecedented religious tolerance.

8. What self-government assembly was created in Virginia in 1619?

Answer: The House of Burgesses

The Virginia House of Burgesses was the first form of representative self-government in the English colonies. In 1619, The London Company organized the House to allow colonists to assemble.

9. What religious act was passed in Maryland in 1649?

Answer: The Act of Toleration

The Act of Toleration was passed by the Maryland colony assembly in 1649. It called for religious tolerance of all Christians. The act was the first of its kind in colonial America.

10. Which of the original 13 colonies was founded by the Swedes?

Answer: Delaware

The first organized Swedish outpost in Delaware was Fort Christina. The fort was built in 1638. The area did not stay in Swedish hands for long, as in 1664 the English attacked and captured the territory.
