Re: List of african american inventions. Don't be so jumpy to be a jackass. I was disputing Vor's claim that a black man invented the air conditioner. I was asking HIM to provide a link and the date since the claim on Frederick Jones was in the 40's and Carrier patented way earlier than that.
Jamestown, Roanoke, and Plymouth were some of the first English colonies.he first English colony was established on Roanoke Island, in what is now North Carolina, in 1585. A second colony, the famous Lost Colony, was established two years later, b â¦ ut disappeared.
By 1650, however, England had established a dominant presence on the Atlantic coast. The first colony was founded at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. Many of the people who settled in the New World came to escape religious persecution. The Pilgrims, founders of Plymouth, Massachusetts, arrived in 1620.In both Virginia and Massachusetts, the colonists flourished with some assistance from Native Americans.ew World grains such as corn kept the colonists from starving while, in Virginia, tobacco provided a valuable cash crop. By the early 1700s enslaved Africans made up a growing percentage of the colonial population. By 1770, more than 2 million people lived and worked in Great Britain's 13 North American colonies.
