,Definition 7 of 115
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.

In the early 19th century the nation could be considered as three regions: North, South, and
West.
NORTH: The North was bound together by transportation route and rapid economic growth
based on commercial farming and industrial innovation. The North had expanding
manufacturing but most people were still involved with farming. This was the most populous
region of the country.
SOUTH: The South was primarily an agriculture economy. Cotton was the most important crop,
and tobacco, rice, and sugarcane were grown.
WEST: The West was the frontier of the nation. Mountain men trapped furs and settlers
obtained a meager existence by farming.
