SEE PHOTO(s) - COMPLETE ORIGINALsingle sheet NEWSPAPER,theLondon Gazette (ENGLAND) datedDec 15, 1707.This original single sheet newspaper contains a back page report of a ship returning to England from Colonial Virginia some 320 years ago, at the time that the Colony of Virginia had become a slave society..

The London Gazette claims to be the oldest surviving English newspaper title and the oldest continuously published newspaper in the UK, having been first published on 7 November 1665 as The Oxford Gazette.

The colonial period in Virginia began in 1607 with the landing of the first English settlers at Jamestown and ended in 1776 with the establishment of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Although a thriving Indian society had existed for thousands of years before the English arrived, war with the European settlers and the introduction of new diseases for which the Indians had no resistance spelled disaster for it. The English colonists, meanwhile, just barely survived, suffering through summer droughts and winter starvation. Salvation came to the colony in the form of smoking tobacco, or what King James I called a “vile and stinking custom,” when John Rolfe cultivated a variety of tobacco that sold well in England. In 1619, a General Assembly convened, bringing limited self-government to America. That same year brought the first enslaved Africans to Virginia. For most of the 1600s, white indentured servants worked the colony’s tobacco fields, but by 1705 the Virginia colony had become a slave society. Nearly all power was in the hands of white male landowners, who ran the government and, by law, belonged to the Church of England. Women who married and worked at home were considered “good wives”; those who refused such “proper” roles were considered troublesome. And while Virginia’s ruling men did not encourage women to be independent, they nevertheless fought for their own independence, taking full part in the American Revolution (1775–1783).
