  During the American colonial period, 1607-1775, thousands upon thousands of Europeans and Africans voyaged from their native lands to the uncertainties and hardships of the New World. Some came as free men and women, some as servants, some as prisoners, and some as slaves. This Jackdaw portrays these early emigrants, examines why and how they came and where they located. Hands-on documents — list of passengers, large gravestone rubbing, an early map, letters — personalize the wide range of social strata and geography characterizing to this topic.
