EARLIEST NATIVES WERE MOST LIKELY
BIG GAME HUNTERS
SOCIETY EVOLVES
1. Hunted
smaller game.
Invented snares
and bows and
arrows
2. Collected
what the earth
had to
offer…nuts
berries, wild
rice, and fished
Made baskets

raise plants as
food.
A TECHNOLOY
REVOLUTION!

WHAT FACTORS MAY LEAD A GROUP TO

• Nomads: people who move their home
regularly in search of food.
THE AGE OF EXPLORATION
COLUMBUS
COLUMBIAN EXCHANGE:
THE WIDESPREAD
TRANSFER OF ANIMALS, PLANTS, CULTURE, HUMAN
POPULATIONS, COMMUNICABLE DISEASES, TECHNOLOGY
AND IDEAS BETWEEN THE AMERICAN AND AFROEURASIAN HEMISPHERES IN THE 15TH AND 16TH
CENTURIES, AFTER CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS' 1492
VOYAGE.
EUROPEAN COUNTRIES COMPETE FOR
POWER AND WEALTH IN AMERICAS
GOAL:
•
to dominate all other European
countries, by increasing wealth
and armies
Actions:
•
Attempt to find the Northwest
passage
•
Find treasure in new world,
gold, silver, gems
•
Raid ships from competing
countries
•
Bring slaves to work on
plantations
Plantations: large farming
operations that produce cash
crops
Cash crop: crops grown to sell.
NATIVE AMERICANS AND COLONISTS
COLLIDE
Native Americans
• Nomadic lifestyle
• Polytheistic (Pagan
Religions)
• No private
ownership
Colonists
• “settlers” use the
land and stay in one
place.
• Monotheistic
(Christianity)
• Private ownership
THE ENGLISH COLONIES
Georgia
South
Carolina
North
Carolina
Virginia
Maryland
THE SOUTH
THE
SOUTH
• The natural resources included rich
farmland and fish.
• The climate is very warm and offers the
longest growing season within the three
colonial regions - 7 months.
• Economy based on agriculture
MID COLONIES
• Population grew
diversified crops and
craftsmen and merchants
provided many services
and resources.
• Trade included exported
agricultural products and
natural resources and
imported European
manufactured good
NEW ENGLAND
COLONIES
Colonies in New England
experienced relative political
control and independence.
Central governments, which
were representative and
responsive to the needs of the
majority.
Local government town
meetings where all white
male Church members who
owned property gathered
regularly
to consensually decide
matters of local importance.
• The abundant natural resources
included fish, whales, trees, and furs.
• Manufacturing and exporting their
natural resources
The New economic model for colonizing
British North America
• The idea of mercantilism was that the nation, not
the individuals within it, was the principal actor in
the economy. The goal of the economy, then,
should be to increase the nation's wealth.
• The corporate colonies, therefore, were ventures
in capitalism - that is, they were based on an
economic system in which the production and
distribution of goods are privately or corporately
owned and developed.

WHAT WAS EACH REGION SENDING TO BRITAIN?
MERCANTILISM:
TRIANGULAR
TRADE
Based on the map, write a paragraph describing
the triangular trade routes.
'TRIANGULAR TRADE: TRADE BETWEEN
THE AMERICAS, EUROPE AND AFRICA
Three Phases
1. Europe to
Africa…manufactured goods
2. Africa to North America:
slaves and raw materials
3. North America to Europe:
raw materials
Garnered HUGE profits
at each of the three
phases of the trade.
TRANSATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE: SHIPPING
SLAVES ACROSS THE ATLANTIC TO BE BOUGHT AND SOLD
IN NORTH AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN ISLANDS.
• ECONOMIC ENDEAVOR:
SUPPLY V DEMAND
?Within the United States
where was there the
most demand?
• Which part of the country
was supplying the market?
NAVIGATION ACTS
1. No countries can trade with the
Colonies unless the goods are
shipped in either colonial or
English ships.
2. Crews must be at least ¾ English
(75/100 must be English citizens)
3. Colonies may only export staple
products such as: sugar, tobacco,
rice, fur, to England.
4. All goods must be unloaded in
England first.
SALUTARY NEGLECT: TO AVOID THE
STRICT ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS.
WHY WOULD GREAT BRITAIN BE SO
LENIENT WITH THE COLONISTS ?
• Long history of local government
• Lacked resources to enforce
wishes
• Colonists proud British citizens
• The colonies were serving British
interests
WHY DID THE COLONIES STOP DEPENDING
ON THE NATIVE AMERICAN POPULATION
AND INDENTURED SERVANTS?
 Native Americans could escape more easily…knew
the territory and could find friendly tribes in the
area.
 Many Native Americans were not from agricultural
societies…did not know how to farm the land.
 Native Americans susceptible to disease. Many of
the slaves captured in Africa had survived
smallpox.
 Indentured servants free at the end of their
contract
 Indentured servants could escape by blending into
society…finding family
AFRICAN SLAVES PREFERABLE
BECAUSE:
 Experienced
farmers
 Could not blend
into society and
escape
 Were not familiar
with North
American
geography
 Resilient and
strong.
 No common
language
SLAVE SHIP CAPTAIN’S GOAL: TO
MAXIMIZE PROFITS
• Tight Pack v Loose Pack
WOMEN
• No legal rights
Buy or
sell
property
Weave
cloth
Keep
wages
sew
vote
garden
Tend to
children
Tend to
animals
bake
Make
household
supplies
Enter
into legal
contracts
WOMEN WERE THE POSSESSION OF
FATHER OR HUSBAND
Wives are a part of the house and family and
ought to be under the husband’s government:
they should obey their husband.
ENLIGHTENMENT: REASON CHALLENGES
TRADITION
• European movement that stressed
reason and scientific process to solve
problems.
ENLIGHTENED THINKERS: TRY TO APPLY
PRINCIPLES OF REASON AND METHODS OF
SCIENCE TO ALL ASPECTS OF SOCIETY
1.
2.
3.
Challenge church ideas
examined the ideas and dismissed some as
pure superstition…. Heresy.
Examine political systems:
Movement away from authority
challenged the power of the absolute
monarchy, divine right, received from god,
to rule over the people.
Advocated the scientific method : observation and
testing of theories
ENLIGHTENMENT IDEAS
Main
Idea:
Enlightenment
ideas helped
bring about the
American and
French
Revolutions
Why it
matters now
• These
revolutions and
the documents
they produced
have inspired
other
democratic
movements
ENLIGHTENMENT IN
2014?
• New ideas…
• Which ideas are challenging
the status quo?
THE GREAT AWAKENING
•
.
Emphasized individual responsibility as a
path to salvation
• Democratic, anyone rich or poor could
achieve salvation if he she chose to do so.
• Awakening was also a "national"
occurrence. It was the first major event
that all the colonies could share. It broke
down the differences between them.
REVIVAL : GATHERING OF PEOPLE
WHERE PEOPLE WERE REVIVED OR
BROUGHT BACK TO A RELIGIOUS LIFE
Abandoned rational argument and
appealed to emotion and fear of after life.
THE PATRIOT ACT
The Patriot Act allowed law enforcement
sweeping authority to monitor electronic
communications with little oversight. It
also allows law enforcement to engage in
the use of roving wiretaps, sneak and
peek warrants and other provisions…
…the government could be spying on any
US citizen without that citizen even
knowing, if the government decides that
the citizen is a “suspected terrorist”.
