Please underline or highlight the terms you use.

During the age of exploration, many sought to find faster, and more efficient trade routes to Asia. Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer, set sail with sponsorship of the Spanish crown, in 1492. Within a few months, Columbus landed in the Caribbean, inadvertently stumbling upon a continent that was unknown to the ‘old world.’ This ‘discovery’ would change the course of world history. Over the next couple of centuries, European nations would make the journey across the Atlantic in search for Gold, Glory, and the spread of Christianity (the 3 Gs). Spain was the first European nation to set out with the intention of North American colonization with the commission of several conquistadors, or conquerors of the New World. Please continue here>> With Spain’s ‘discovery’ of North America they also began to discover that people have already been habitating there and had plants of their own. An example would be maize, beans, and squash otherwise known as the three sisters. This ‘great discovery’ would later on cause Columbus to start a encomienda system that was a form of slave trade. It would also be responsible for the deaths of many native americans as they were very susceptible to contracting diseases from the Spaniards. Another event occurring in Europe was the protestant reformation in which Martin Luther and followers wished to rebel against the Church of England and purify the religion from catholic ideologies. Following that event in 1521 Hernan Cortez claimed México in the name of Spain. Once he did, he conquered the Aztecs' capital Tenochtitlan and became the first conquistador of New Spain. A few years later a man named Bartolome de Las Casas who was a Spanish Dominican friar defended the oppression of native americans as he believed they too were just humans and deserved rights as opposed to Juan Gines de Sepulveda who thought native americans were beasts that needed to be tamed.

Part 3

For each region listed below on the map, describe different aspects of Native American life, politics, and society:

Great Plains/Great Basin: In the great plains native americans lived in huts made out of bison skin and heavily relied on bison for food and clothing. Yet they saw them as symbolic creatures. They also had counsel meetings of some sort.

Southwest: In the southwest native americans lived in permanent settlements in which they planted crops and lived in houses made of clay. The people who governed each tribe were of great importance and had great wealth.

Northeast: In the northeast native americans relied on the bodies surrounding them for fishing and lived in longhouses which could house over 100 people from the same family.

Part 4

SAQ Practice: Remember to use ACE in order to answer the questions.

a.) Briefly explain ONE common trait in the policies of two of these European nations towards Native Americans.

• England
• France
• Spain

One common trait England and Spain have with the policies toward native americans are they wish to convert them to their religion. As seen during encomienda time Spain wished to use native americans for labor purposes and convert them into catholics. It also occurred with the English when they tried to force the Wampanoag and other tribes into christianity. By doing so both countries wanted to have a certain amount of dominance over the native americans and by taking away their culture they believed they could ‘tame’ them.

b.) Briefly explain ONE difference between the policies of two European nations towards Native Americans.

A difference between the policies of France and Spain is that the Spanish wished to use the Native Americans as labor slaves and the French wanted to socialize and trade with them. These practices can be seen in the fur trade that occurred between the natives and the French that caused an alliance to be formed between them as they would continue to need fur. On the other hand the Spanish formed a system called the encomienda system in which the natives were forced to work and convert into catholics. By having different policies for the Native Americans both countries had different relationships with them and levels of respect or praise.

c.) Briefly explain ONE reaction of Native Americans to European policies.

One reaction the Native Americans had to the European policies was “The Pueblo Revolt”. In the revolution the Pueblo people began to attack the Spanish colonies and the catholic church. By causing this revolution the Pueblo people got the chance to claim their religious freedom again and could go back to life before the Spanish arrived.

Part 5 Doc Analysis Practice with HIPPO:

“Being earnestly requested by a dear friend to put down in writing some true relation of our late performed voyage to the north parts of Virginia [Massachusetts] I resolved to satisfy his request….

“Coming ashore, we stood a while like men ravished at the beauty and delicacy of this sweet soil. For besides diverse clear lakes of fresh water…meadows very large and full of green grass….

“[This climate so agreed with us] that we found our health and strength all the while we remained there so to renew and increase as, notwithstanding our diet and lodging was none of the best, yet not one of our company (God be thanked) felt the least grudging or inclination to any disease or sickness but were much fatter and in better health than when we went out of England.”
