Guide with Complete Solutions
American Indian Societies 1491 - Answer✔️✔️-Some time between 10,000 and 40,000

years ago, people may have migrated from Asia to the Americas, across a land bridge

that connected Siberia and Alaska. Over a long period of time, successive generations

migrated southward to the southern tip of South America. They evolved to hundreds of

tribes, spoke different languages, and practiced different cultures. In the 1490s it is

estimated that the Native American population was from 50 million to 100 million

people.

European incentives for exploring and settling of America - Answer✔️✔️-In the 15th

century (1400s) there were three primary motives for Europeans to explore and settle

America were political, economic, and religious.

Political: In the 15th century Europe was changing politically. Nation states were

forming, where the majority of people shared a common culture and a common loyalty

toward a central government. The monarchs of these countries such as Spain, Portugal,

France, England, and the Netherlands depended on trade to bring in needed revenue

and they wanted to expand trade.

Economic: In the past merchants had traveled a long, slow, and expensive land route to

Asia. In 1453, this route was blocked when the Ottoman Turks seized control of

Constantinople. In order to find a route to the rich Asian market, European nations

funded exploration by sea. In 1492, Spain financed Christopher Columbus who sailed

across the Atlantic in search of a route to Asia. He landed on an island in the Bahamas.

Religious: In the early 1500s, many Christians in northern European countries had

revolted against the Roman Catholic church, in the Protestant Reformation. The conflict

between the Catholics and the Protestants caused them to want to spread their version

of Christianity to other parts of the world.

Columbian Exchange - Answer✔️✔️-The Europeans and the original inhabitants of the

Americas had developed vastly different cultures over thousands of years. This term

refers to the transfer of plants, animals and germs from one side of the Atlantic to the

other for the first time. Europe received beans, corn, potatoes tomatoes, and tobacco.

America received sugar cane, bluegrasses, pigs, horses, the wheel, iron implements,

guns, and most importantly diseases.

triangular trade - Answer✔️✔️-In the 17th century New England merchant ships would

follow a triangle route. Starting from a New England port they would carry rum across

the Atlantic to West African. There the rum would be traded for hundreds of African

slaves. Next, the ship would sale to the West Indies (Caribbean), trade the slaves, and

take on a cargo of sugar cane. The last part of the journey, they would return to a New

England port and sell the sugarcane, which was used to make rum.

Middle Passage - Answer✔️✔️-Voyage from West Africa to the West Indies. It was

miserable for the slaves transported and many died.

mercantilism - Answer✔️✔️-In the 17th century (1600s) most European kingdoms

adopted the economic policy of mercantilism. Under mercantilism, colonies were to

provide raw materials to the parent country for the growth and profit of the parent

countries industries. Colonies existed only to enrich the parent country. Spain and

France had applied mercantilistic policies with their colonies from the beginning, but

England began to apply mercantilistic policies in the mid 17th century.

Jamestown (cooperation, conflict, identity, leaders, failures, success, reasons for

settling) - Answer✔️✔️-In 1607, the first permanent English colony in America was

founded at this location. The Virginia Company, was a a joint-stock company chartered

by England's King James I. The settlement was located in a swampy area which

resulted in fatal outbreaks of malaria and dysentery. Many of the settlers were not

accustomed to farming and hunting. Trade with the American Indians was important to

the settlement and conflicts would halt trade and settlers went hungry. By 1624, the

Virginia colony was near collapse, so King James I took direct control and turned it into

England's first royal colony.

indentured servitude - Answer✔️✔️-Young people from England under contract with a

master who paid for their passage. Worked for a specified period for room and board,

then they were free.

Plymouth Colony (cooperation, conflict, identity) - Answer✔️✔️-This colony was started

by the Pilgrims at Plymouth (Massachusetts). Originally known as Separatists, they

wanted to organize a church separate from the Church of England. Several hundred of

them left England and moved to Holland. In Holland they experienced economic

hardship and cultural differences. In 1620, they sailed aboard the Mayflower to

Plymouth. In the first winter nearly half of them perished. They were eventually helped

by friendly American Indians and celebrated the first Thanksgiving in 1621.

Massachusetts Bay Colony (cooperation, conflict, identity, leaders, failures, success,

reasons for settling) - Answer✔️✔️-In 1630, John Winthrop led about a thousand Puritans
