At the end of the 15th century, Columbus successfully crossed the Atlantic Ocean to reach the North American continent for the first time and returned triumphantly. This action not only brought the great navigator with great feats and glory, but more importantly, he also opened the European connection. The gateway to the Americas not only opened the way for Spain's subsequent invasion of the Americas but also laid the foundation for the conquest of the Americas and colonial rule by many countries in Western Europe. Some countries like Spain, Portugal, France, and the United Kingdom have vigorously invaded North America one after another to realize their dreams of becoming rich.
On May 5, 2007, the U.S. Postal Service issued a triangular magical stamp with a face value of $0.39. The stamp design shows the three ships that the first British colonists took when they arrived in the Americas. It turned out that this was the United States in memory of them. The first colony-Jamestown was issued on the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown. Speaking of the background of the design on this stamp, we have to trace it back to the beginning of the 16th century, when the colonial powers of European countries invaded in large numbers. Of course, powerful Britain at that time was not to be outdone. At the end of the year 1606, a group of nobles, gentlemen, and merchants in the British Empire asked their king to authorize them to establish colonies in North America. The King of England agreed to their request and issued a charter permitting them to set up a Virginia company in the New World. Therefore, the London Group of Virginia Company sent them to North America on December 20 of this year. This group of English citizens consisted of more than 120 celebrities. Under the leadership of their "Christopher Newport" captain, they boarded three large ships: "Susan Constant", "Lucky" and "Discovery". After nearly four months of sea trekking, they came to Jamestown, Virginia, on the North American continent on April 26, 1607, and landed on an island by the James River. After that, they established Britain in North America. The first colony-"Virginia", and the construction of "Jamestown" as a colony urban settlement, it is a permanent British colony and the first in American history. A colony.
Later, the Virginia Company brought the first colonists of the American continent. The history of the development of this continent began. It also brought the hustle and bustle to this quiet continent. It can also be said that the history of the Americas and even the world History has also begun another process. It eventually developed into a cradle of the American Revolution and the Democratic Movement. In 1619, the first legislative conference of the North American colonies was held in Jamestown. All of their first five founding presidents came from here, except for the successor. Old Adams of Washington was a native of Massachusetts. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe were all from Virginia, so this period was called the "Virginia Dynasty." Moreover, since then, Florida also gave birth to the three presidents of Harrison, Taylor, and Wilson. Therefore, Virginia has extraordinary historical significance for the United States.
As of 2007, the city of Jamestown in the United States has a history of 400 years. To commemorate its historical significance, the United States began in 2006 to commemorate the 400-year establishment of the Jamestown Colony. However, the media reported that although Jamestown was Britain’s first overseas settlement in North America, the 400th-anniversary commemoration of the city was held very low-key. At that time, the 81-year-old Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom arrived in the United States on May 3. This was the fifth official visit to the United States by the Queen in decades since her ascension to the throne. Her first stop in the United States was Fergie. Ni, it seems that she made a special trip to attend the 400th anniversary of the establishment of Jamestown, the first British settlement in North America. What is strange is that this commemorative event not only does not mean celebrating with all the people, but also does not even see the word "celebration", and the American media did not make a lot of articles about it, only talking to the Queen of England. As mentioned in the relevant reports of the interview, it can be said that the whole event has no festive meaning and is very low-key.
