first colony in the Northern parts of Virginia, do by these present solemnly and mutually in the presence of God, and one of another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the colony, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.”
Why is this document so important? The Original copy!
A New World of Trade
• What kinds of things were traded back and forth in the Columbian Exchange?
• What were the positives and negatives for each side?
Countries like Portugal, England and Spain traded guns in Africa to local chiefs for slaves and captured prisoners.
Slaves made the MIDDLE PASSAGE from Africa to the West Indies.There, the slaves worked in sugar cane plantations, which led to
higher European demand and increased slave trade across the Atlantic
SLAVERY comes to Africa and the New World…

How much for no
Purgatory?
After 100 years of growing hatred…Thirty Year’s War! (1618 –
1648)
• The Cause: HRE Ferdinand II wanted to make Bohemia Catholic; it was Protestant.
• Catholics, Lutherans and Calvinists all fought each other in GERMANY,
the Holy Roman Empire fell apart and was divided up into small principalities.
• So: France, Spain, Sweden and Denmark all tried to snatch parts of Germany!
• The Result: more then 3 million Europeans died. FRANCE won BIG TIME!
The Peace of Westphalia and the Results of Reformation in Europe
The Peace of Westphalia (1648) ended the Thirty Years War
Spain, Germany and Sweden were all weakened by war, loss of land
FRANCE grew in size and power after the war: centralized
New borders were drawn, official “countries” were established
Absolute Monarchies became the new way to govern
What does it mean to be an “Absolute Monarch”?
What is the “Divine Right of Kings”?
Two Absolute Monarchs:
LOUIS XIV - FRANCERuled France for 72 years:
The “Sun King” (d. 1715)Ended Feudalism, made
Paris the official CapitalControlled every aspect of
French governmentBuilt the Palace of
Versailles as a symbol of his wealth and power
“I am the State.” – Louis XIV
Peter the Great - RUSSIA Ruled for 42 years (d. 1725) Through military victories , he created
the Russian Empire, the largest in the world at the time
Modernized Russia by making it more “European”; brought ships, technology and new ideas to Russia: no beards!
Reformed the Russian Orthodox Church
Built St. Petersburg, and made it his new capital
The ENGLISH CIVIL WAR: King – No King – King Again!
King Charles I of England refused to give in to Parliaments demands
He claimed Divine Right to Absolute Rule – Parliament declared war!
Charles I lost the Civil War, was arrested and beheaded in 1649
Parliament’s leader, Oliver Cromwell, took over as “Lord Protector” until his death in 1658 – He was a Puritan: NO FUN
Parliament restored the Monarchy in 1660, allowing Charles II to be king
England was back where it started, almost…Parliament was now calling the shots!
The Glorious Revolution - 1688King James II of England was
Catholic, so was his new son…Parliament wanted to keep England
Protestant, so it called on William III of Holland to fight James II
James II ran away like a little girl…William and Mary become King
and Queen of EnglandParliament has major pull now, so:ENGLISH BILL of RIGHTS in
1689What did it guarantee?
