Warm Up 1
Pretend that you are an explorer in the 1700’s. Pretend that you know nothing of the technology currently available to you (no cell phones, GPS, computers or internet). Pretend that you are asked to draw of map of the places you personally visit. Talk to your partner about how you will go about the task of map making. Sketch a brief drawing of a map of some place you have personally visited or you can do this for the town of Weatherford.
This is what explorer’s maps looked like as they traveled.

Mercantilism an economic system developing during the decay of feudalism to unify and increase the power and especially the monetary wealth of a nation by a strict governmental regulation of the entire national economy usually through policies designed to secure an accumulation of bullion, a favorable balance of trade, the development of agriculture and manufactures, and the establishment of foreign trading monopolies

2) sell more goods that you buyGoal is to become self-sufficient

ColonizationImperialism Exploration
Comparing and Contrasting Words
Exploration- the action of traveling in or through an unfamiliar area in order to learn about it.
Imperialism- a policy of extending a country’s power and influence through diplomacy or military force.
Colonization- sending settlers to (a place) and to establish political control over it.
Spanish ExplorationChristopher Columbus (Italian: Cristoforo Colombo; Spanish: Cristóbal
Colón) – Italian explorer. (1492) He goes to Portugal to gain resources for a voyage west however, they had already funded expeditions to India with the help of Vasco de Gama. So Columbus tried the Spanish. Under Ferdinand and Isabella, the Catholic monarchs, he completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean that led to general European awareness of the American continents. Those voyages, and his efforts to establish permanent settlements on the island of Hispaniola, initiated the Spanish colonization of the New World.
Name his ships.
Toscanelli's notions of the geography of the Atlantic Ocean, which directly influenced Columbus's plans.
Actual Voyages
Good time to mention: It doesn’t matter what country you are from. If you explore with someone else’s money. What you discover will be claimed for the country you explored for. Example, Columbus is Italian but since the Spanish funded him then it is the Spanish’s claim.
Treaty of Tordesillas 2 July 1494…to divide trading and colonizing rights for all newly discovered lands of the world between Portugal and Spain to the exclusion of other European nations.
So, how do you think other countries are going to handle this treaty?
When Columbus returns with news from his voyage the King and Queen quickly begin work on the Treaty of Tordesillas to protect their claims and interests in the New World.

freedom in the New World, set sail from England on the Mayflower in September 1620. That November, the ship landed on the shores of Cape Cod, in present-day Massachusetts. A scouting party was sent out, and in late December the group landed at Plymouth Harbor, where they would
form the first permanent settlement of
Europeans in
New England.

THE ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE
Where they went for the labor…
Go to your read-a-long page. Discuss with your partner the following questions.
What was the cause of the Atlantic Slave trade?
Why did Europeans see African as better source of labor than the Native Americans?
Evolution of Slavery Slavery in Africa – Slavery in Africa existed when the Muslim
Empire ruled. Non-Muslims were sold as slaves. Because the Native American were dying of diseases carried
by the Europeans the Europeans had to find workers for their new crops somewhere else so African became the disable target.
African from ruling tribes and merchants played a willing role in the slave trade - they saw little difference between selling to a Muslim or a Westerner. Most Europeans waited in sea ports where Africans from the interior tribes were brought to them. They were usually exchanged for guns, gold, and other goods.
Many Africans cried out to their people to stop the trade, but it was too profitable. Any rulers that refused to cooperate were bypassed and new routes were developed.
Over time the African map will look like this:
The Middle Passage - was the stage of the triangular trade in which millions of people from Africa were shipped to the New World.

What would some of the challenges be for those traveling on the Middle Passage?
Slavery in the AmericasHarsh LifeResistance and Rebellion
Ad for a Sale
Devices used to restrict Slaves

Results of the Atlantic Slave Trade A depopulation of certain African areas due to
the slave trade A growth of plantation agriculture, especially in
the southern colonies A diffusion of ideas among Caribbean, African
and Latin American cultures
IMPACT OF ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE ON WEST AFRICA AND THE AMERICAS
Africa (particularly West Africa) • Political – Trade in slaves promoted warfare between African states; European
weapons (guns) become an important component of political power; Europeans control very little territory in Africa
• Economic – Atlantic slave trade increased demand for African slaves by Europeans; volume of trade increased; trade patterns shifted to west coast; demand for European manufactured goods (guns)
• Cultural – Introduction of Christianity to west Africa; African artists created products for European markets
• Technological – Gunpowder guns
The Americas • Increase in the African populations, both directly from Africa and those who were
subsequently born in the Americas and Caribbean • The dispersal of Africans throughout the New World is directly related to slavery,
as they were forced to go wherever labor was demanded. • British colonies, in what is now the southern United States, depend on slave labor
for production of cash crops • Knowledge of agriculture including rice that spread into the Southern colonies • Aspects of African food, music and art leave a lasting influence on American
cultures

Explain the impact of the Atlantic slave trade on West Africa and the Americas.
COLUMBIAN EXCHANGE
Global trade network during early modern era.
Global Exchange of new foods, livestock, and diseases between the Old and New
Worlds.
The Middle Passage
IMPACT OF COLUMBIAN EXCHANGE ON THE AMERICAS AND EUROPE
Impact on the Americas: • New livestock including horses, cattle, sheep, and pigs. Horses led to the
defeat of many Native Americans • Foods from Africa including bananas, black-eyed peas, and yams • Grains such as rice, barley, wheat, and oats • Diseases such as smallpox, measles, and influenza that led to the deaths of
millions of Native Americans • Slaves from Africa
Impact on Europe: • New foods and plants including corn, tomatoes, chocolate, tobacco, quinine,
and potatoes

COMMERCIAL REVOLUTION
Commercial Revolution – New business and trade practices brought about in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries because of new wealth brought from colonies in the Americas.
Factors of the commercial revolution.
• Rise of capitalism – Private ownership and investment of wealth for profit lead to the growth of the merchant class and an increase of the money supply.
Joint-stock companies (Jamestown, Virginia) – Investors pooled their money together to establish American colonies and usually faced minimal monetary losses because of the large number involved in the investment.
Go to your read-a-long page. Discuss with your partner the following questions.
What would be the opposite of Capitalism?
Compare similarities of the joint-stock company to today?
• Mercantilism – Colonies provided gold and silver (bullionism) as well as a favorable balance of trade since they were both suppliers of raw materials and markets to their mother countries
• Establishment of new institutions such as banks, stock exchanges, insurance companies and futures markets
