EXCHANGE

USING WHAT YOU KNOW…WHAT WOULD YOU GUESS THE COLUMBIAN EXCHANGE WAS??

The Columbian Exchange was the introduction and transfer of goods between Europe and the Americas

JOHN CABOT

Italian sailing for the British

Wanted to find a trade route, figured if he went North, he wouldn’t hit Columbus’ land

British didn’t want to get in the Spanish’s way

1 boat, crew of 18 men

First to actually reach North American main land, probably landed in Maine

JUAN PONCE DE LEON

Spanish explorer…wanted to elaborate on Christopher Columbus’ ideas

Made the jump from the Bahamas to Florida

This is very important because…

Now the Spanish will start running all over the, “New World” and will set up permanent housing

Was looking for the Fountain of Youth

Established St. Augustine, FL in 1565

St. Augustine, FLOriginal Spanish

CONQUISTADORS – ALWAYS SPANISH BORN/SAILED

Hernan Cortez,

Looking for gold and glory

Sailed with 500 SOLDIERS, horses, and cannons

Wanted to take over the Aztec empire and the capital of Tenochtitlan

Aztec Indians forced to give up clothes, crops, gold, and precious stones

Took over capital and king Montezuma

Spanish fight to keep capital, and eventually take control of Mexico

Francisco Coronado

Went looking for gold further north than Mexico

All he found was ‘widespread planes and no gold’

So, he went back to Mexico for more riches.

SPANISH AMERICA

Missions, Big houses

Churches, wanted to convert the Natives to Catholicism

Made permanent houses and planned to stay

Spain became very wealthy as a country

SAMUEL DE CHAMPLAINFrench Explorer…

Now the French are involved

He goes into Canada, down the Mississippi River, and ends in New Orleans.

(Hint: this is why we buy the Louisiana Purchase from France)

He develops VERY positive relationships with the Native Americans

Battles with the British and he is captured, but then later comes back as governor of Canada.

FYI (The French and British will always be in a fight from here on out)
