The Chesapeake Colonies were the Colony and Dominion of Virginia, later the Commonwealth of Virginia, and Province of Maryland, later Maryland, both colonies located in British America and centered on the Chesapeake Bay. Settlements of the Chesapeake region grew slowly due to diseases such as malaria. Most of these settlers were male immigrants from England who died soon after their arrival. Due to the majority of men, eligible women did not remain single for long. The native-born population eventually became immune to the Chesapeake diseases and these colonies were able to continue through all the hardships.

has abstract	The Chesapeake Colonies were the Colony and Dominion of Virginia, later the Commonwealth of Virginia, and Province of Maryland, later Maryland, both colonies located in British America and centered on the Chesapeake Bay. Settlements of the Chesapeake region grew slowly due to diseases such as malaria. Most of these settlers were male immigrants from England who died soon after their arrival. Due to the majority of men, eligible women did not remain single for long. The native-born population eventually became immune to the Chesapeake diseases and these colonies were able to continue through all the hardships. The Chesapeake region had a one-crop economy, based on tobacco. This contributed to the demand for slave labor in the Southern colonies. The tobacco also depleted nutrients in the soil, and new land was continually needed for its cultivation. White indentured servants were also common in this region early in its settlement, gradually being replaced by African slaves by the latter half of the seventeenth century due to improved economic conditions in Europe and the resulting decrease in emigration to the Chesapeake region. Indentured servants were people who signed a contract of indenture requiring them to work for their Chesapeake masters for an average of five to seven years, in return for the cost of the Atlantic crossing. When finished, they might be given land, or goods consisting of a suit of clothes, some farm tools, seed, and perhaps a gun. (en) Le colonie della baia di Chesapeake furono delle parti della Colonia della Virginia e della Provincia del Maryland, poi Colonia del Maryland, nell'America britannica, incentrate nella Baia di Chesapeake. Gli insediamenti della regione di Chesapeake crebbero lentamente a causa delle problematiche sanitarie dell'area (ad esempio la malaria). Molti dei coloni provenivano dall'Inghilterra e morirono poco dopo il loro arrivo. La popolazione divenne però ben presto immune a queste problematiche e pertanto la colonia poté crescere. Chesapeake aveva un'economia basata essenzialmente basata sul tabacco. Questa contribuì all'uso di schiavi nelle colonie del sud. Il tabacco inoltre rovinava il suolo facilmente e per questo era richiesta sempre più terra nuova da sfruttare. I servitori pagati, vennero rimpiazzati sempre più con schiavi africani dalla metà del XVII secolo col miglioramento delle condizioni economiche in Europa che portarono al decrescere dell'immigrazione verso la regione di Chesapeake. (it) As Colônias de Chesapeake eram constituídas da Colônia e Domínio da Virgínia, mais tarde "Comunidade da Virgínia", e da Província de Maryland, mais tarde Maryland, ambas as colônias localizadas na América Britânica e centradas na baía de Chesapeake. Os assentamentos da região de Chesapeake cresceram lentamente devido a doenças como a malária. A maioria desses colonos eram homens, imigrantes da Inglaterra, que morreram logo após sua chegada. Devido à maioria dos homens, as mulheres elegíveis não permaneceram solteiras por muito tempo. A população nativa acabou se tornando imune às doenças de Chesapeake e essas colônias foram capazes de continuar com todas as dificuldades. Chesapeake tinha uma economia baseada em plantio e colheita baseada no tabaco. Isso contribuiu para a demanda de trabalho escravo nas colônias do sul. O tabaco também arruinou o solo e novas terras eram continuamente necessárias. Servos contratados brancos também eram comuns nessa região no início de seu assentamento, sendo gradualmente substituídos por escravos africanos na segunda metade do século XVII devido às melhores condições econômicas da Europa e à conseqüente diminuição da emigração para a região de Chesapeake. Servidores contratados eram pessoas que assinaram um contrato de escritura obrigando-os a trabalhar para seus senhores de Chesapeake por uma média de cinco a sete anos, em troca do custo da travessia do Atlântico. Quando terminasse, ele receberia terra e uma "roupa" que consistia em uma roupa, algumas ferramentas agrícolas, sementes e talvez uma arma. (pt)
