Another Origins Debate: Settler Colonialism in Early Virginia History

William and Mary Quarterly recently initiated an origins debate concerning settler colonialism in America in their discussion of the applicability of that framework to early America. Settler colonialism is a type of colonialism, specifically characterized as dispossession of indigenous people of their land. In respect to British North America, the beginnings of settler colonialism originate in Virginia, where British colonists came into conflict with native people over land not long after their arrival.
