05:06	Hello . Let's get started on the lesson . Jamestown
05:16	was the first English settlement in North America . Mm
05:22	Hmm . A settlement is a colony or a small
05:26	community of people . Yeah . English settlers began their
05:32	journey from London in December of 16 . Oh ,
05:35	six . Mhm . Mhm . They traveled aboard three
05:41	ships . Discovery ? Yeah . Susan Constant . Right
05:51	. And godspeed . The discovery was the smallest ship
05:58	, while the Susan Constant was the largest . These
06:04	ships carried nearly 150 people on a voyage to North
06:08	America . A voyage is a long trip taken by
06:12	sea or air . The English settlers were in search
06:18	of new land . First , they stopped at the
06:24	Canary Islands for water and rest . Yeah , they
06:33	also made a stop at the Caribbean Islands . Yeah
06:43	. Finally , after four long months , they reached
06:46	America in April of 16 . Oh , seven .
06:54	They would soon begin to explore land in Virginia .
07:01	Jamestown was the perfect location for a new settlement .
07:07	It was surrounded by water , which made it easy
07:10	to escape from attacks by boat . Mm . The
07:15	area was also uninhabited . Which means that no one
07:18	lived there While Native Americans lived in nearby areas .
07:24	Jamestown was free to colonize . Yeah , the settlers
07:29	long voyage had finally come to an end . Let's
07:34	reveal Jamestown was the first English settlement . In North
07:39	America , a settlement is a colony or a small
07:44	community of people . English settlers went on a four
07:50	month voyage from London to America . And 16 oh
07:53	, six . A voyage is a long trip taken
07:57	by sea or air . They selected Jamestown because it
08:04	was uninhabited and surrounded by water . An area that
08:08	no one lives in is uninhabited . Thanks for watching
08:15	. Goodbye . Yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah
08:26	. Mhm . Hello , boys and girls . Let's
08:30	talk about Thanksgiving , which is a very important holiday
08:33	in America . On this day , we watch parades
08:37	, decorate our houses and have a big family dinner
08:44	. Yeah , really ? But do you know where
08:55	this holiday came from ? Let's learn more about the
08:59	first Thanksgiving Day . Yeah . Yeah . Many years
09:13	ago , in 16 . 20 a group of brave
09:17	Englishman got off their ship in America . They were
09:21	called pilgrims . Yeah , it was a tough cold
09:42	winter , and they did not have enough food .
09:45	Many people got very sick . When the spring came
10:00	. The pilgrims had to learn how to feed themselves
10:07	. Yeah , Native Americans showed them how to grow
10:13	plants such as corn . Native Americans were the people
10:18	who had long lived in America . They knew how
10:24	to survive and grow food on this land . In
10:30	the fall , the pilgrims gathered a big harvest .
10:34	This means that they had plenty of food to eat
10:42	. They decided to have a fancy dinner . Their
10:49	native American neighbors were invited to the celebration . The
10:55	Pilgrims were thankful that they had settled in a new
10:58	place and started a new life . Mhm . Yeah
11:04	. Since then , Americans come together on Thanksgiving to
11:08	celebrate the things that they are thankful for . Family
11:14	, food , shelter and good health are just a
11:17	few things that many people give . Thanks for this
11:20	day , right ? Yeah . Hello . Let's get
11:33	started on the lesson . There are 50 states in
11:38	the United States of America . If you look at
11:44	the American flag , you will see 50 stars .
11:48	One for each state . Mhm . Yeah , But
11:53	many years ago , there were only 13 stars .
11:58	Mm . These stars represented the original 13 American colonies
12:05	New Hampshire , Massachusetts Bay , Rhode Island , Connecticut
12:13	, New York , Pennsylvania , New Jersey , Delaware
12:21	, Maryland , Virginia , Mhm , North Carolina ,
12:29	South Carolina . Yeah and Georgia . Mhm . Mhm
12:37	. Back in the early 16 hundreds , English settlers
12:40	came to America seeking independence from British rulers . They
12:45	founded Virginia , the first American colony in 16 oh
12:52	seven Settlers for many different nations , such as Sweden
12:59	and France , continue to form colonies for many years
13:04	. The 13th colony , Georgia , was founded in
13:07	17 32 . Yeah , American colonies were divided into
13:13	three regions . The New England colonies , the middle
13:19	colonies and the southern colonies . Each region had a
13:24	different way of life . Um , mhm . The
13:33	New England colonies were good for fishing and for trading
13:37	, but there was very little farmland . Mhm .
13:47	The middle colonies were better for growing crops and raising
13:51	farm animals . Mhm , mhm . People in the
14:01	southern colonies made money from cash crops such as rice
14:05	and cotton . Cash crops were grown for the purpose
14:09	of selling mhm . After the Revolutionary War colony started
14:15	to become states . This would give them independence from
14:19	Great Britain to start a new government . Mm .
14:24	Let's review . Before there were 50 states , there
14:28	were only 13 colonies in America . Yeah , colonies
14:36	were founded by settlers in the 16 hundreds and 17
14:40	hundreds . American colonies were divided into three regions .
14:49	New England , middle and Southern . Each region had
14:57	a different way of life . Mhm Mm . The
15:04	13 colonies became states after the Revolutionary War gaining independence
15:09	from Great Britain . Thank you for watching . Goodbye
15:20	. Mhm . Mhm . Mhm , Grandpa . Why
15:37	do we celebrate the Fourth of July ? Well ,
15:41	you see , July 4th 17 76 was a very
15:45	special day in America . 17 . 76 . That
15:51	sure was a long time ago . So what makes
15:55	that day so special ? This was the first Independence
16:00	Day in America . Independence . What does that mean
16:06	? Independence means freedom . For many years , American
16:12	colonies were ruled by British leaders . They had to
16:15	do what the British rulers told them to do .
16:19	They could not make up their own laws . Congress
16:23	leaders wanted to change this . They wrote the Declaration
16:28	of Independence explaining why America should be free from Great
16:32	Britain . On July 4 , 17 76 the Declaration
16:38	of Independence was approved by Congress . America was finally
16:44	free . Hooray ! Now Americans could do whatever they
16:50	wanted . Oh , no , Dear America was free
16:55	from British laws , but they had to make up
16:59	new ones . Years later , in 17 87 the
17:04	Constitution was written . The framers of the Constitution had
17:09	a meeting at Independence Hall in Philadelphia . Some famous
17:14	framers were Benjamin Franklin and George Washington . Together 39
17:21	framers signed and agreed on the rights that American citizens
17:25	should have . Right ? What are right ? These
17:30	are things that people have the freedom to do .
17:34	You mean , like the Bill of Rights ? I
17:38	remember we learned about that at school . Exactly .
17:42	The Bill of Rights were amendments or small changes made
17:47	to the Constitution in 17 91 . They were added
17:51	to protect certain rights of American citizens , like freedom
17:56	of speech and religion . Right , You've got it
18:01	. And freedom of the press and many other rights
18:06	. So Americans have all these rights because of what
18:10	happened on July 4th , 17 , 76 . This
18:16	was the beginning of it all . And we celebrate
18:20	the Fourth of July to show how much we appreciate
18:23	our freedom . Absolutely , Grandpa . I think Independence
18:30	Day is my new favorite holiday . Me too ,
18:35	dear . Me too . Mhm . Mhm . Hello
18:55	. Let's get started on the lesson . Um ,
19:01	an inventor is a person who creates something new .
19:05	American inventors changed the way people live . Many years
19:11	ago , in 18 38 Morris introduced an electric telegraph
19:21	with a special code system to help people send messages
19:25	. He invented morse code messages sent by Morse code
19:42	contained dots and dashes to show the alphabet letters ,
19:46	numbers , punctuation marks and other special characters . Yeah
19:54	, for example , this is how you would say
19:59	hello in Morse code . Mm . Years later ,
20:17	in 18 76 Alexander Graham Bell invented the first telephone
20:23	. He discovered a way to transmit or send sound
20:27	across electrical lines . People could now use the telephone
20:43	to talk to each other from long distances . Yeah
20:52	, yeah . Thomas Edison invented the light bulb in
21:02	18 79 . Until then , people used fire as
21:09	a main light source . Edison's bulb used electricity to
21:14	create light . It was more powerful and less expensive
21:18	than candles . This is because one light bulb could
21:24	illuminate or light up an entire room . Centuries later
21:32	, the light bulb is still a common household item
21:34	all over the world . Yeah , Orville and Wilbur
21:56	Wright invented the first successful airplane in 19 oh three
22:02	. Yeah , Early inventions such as gliders and aerial
22:07	steam engines failed . Thanks to the Wright brothers and
22:13	their clever design , people can travel the world by
22:16	air . Mm . Let's review . An inventor is
22:26	a person who creates something new . Samuel Morris was
22:32	the inventor of the telegraph system , called Morse Code
22:35	. People could use these codes to send messages to
22:38	one another . Alexander Graham Bell discovered a way to
22:43	transmit or send sound across electrical lines . This led
22:48	to his invention of the telephone . In 18 76
22:53	. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb in 18 79
22:59	. It was powerful enough to illuminate or light up
23:02	an entire room . Mm . After many failed attempts
23:08	, the Wright brothers invented the first successful airplane in
23:11	19 . Oh , three . Mhm . Thanks for
