The Chesapeake Region
Area surrounding and bordering the Chesapeake Bay - mostly what was the colonies of Maryland and Virginia. The name comes from an Algonquin word meaning a village near a big river. The Chesapeake Bay was an important colonial waterway which aided colonists in terms of irrigation for agricultural production and access to shipping ports. The area was home to the first permanent English settlement in the "new world," the Jamestown colony (founded in 1607). The region became most important for its tobacco production, one of the major cash crops of the colonial era, which was farmed there in mass quantities on large plantations by slaves. The growth of the tobacco industry was one impetus for the importation of slave labor. The major motivations for colonization in this area were economic from the start, with both royal and proprietary colonies taking hold. The region became a hub for early colonial economic activity and later, a center of political activity as it is today the home of the nation's capital, Washington D.C.

p.340 - Expanding Settlement, 1810-1850

 * ==Before 1810 almost all white settlement in America was on the east coast==
 * ==1810-1830 settlement expanded westward somewhat to what is now considered the mid-west and throughout the south due to expanded cotton farming in areas near the Gulf of Mexico (use of some of the LA Purchase territory)==
 * ==These trends continued between 1830 and 1860 as farming continued to spread throughout the Cotton Belt and new territories and states joined the Union (Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, etc)==
