British View Towards Natives
• British pushed the Natives off of land• Wanted Natives isolated• Saw Natives as heathens (little attempts to
convert)• How does this view compare to the Spanish?
![Page 21: European Nations Settle North America Diverse Empire Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e435503460f94b3754b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
War
• English battled Powhatan around Jamestown
• King Philip’s War– Native leader Metacom
and his warriors defeated by British
– Massacres on both sides

![Page 22: European Nations Settle North America Diverse Empire Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e435503460f94b3754b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Big Idea

![Page 26: European Nations Settle North America Diverse Empire Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e435503460f94b3754b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Agency

Olaudah Equiano• “the air soon became unfit for
respiration, from a variety of loathsome smells, and brought on a sickness among the slaves, of which many died, thus falling victims to the improvident avarice, as I may call it, of their purchasers. This wretched situation was again aggravated by the galling of the chains, now become insupportable. The shrieks of the women, and the groans of the dying, rendered the whole a scene of horror almost inconceivable.”

Big Idea
• The colonization of the Americas leads to global exchange of food, plants, animals, and diseases. These goods enrich the diets and economies of Europe and further shatters the native civilizations of the New World.
![Page 46: European Nations Settle North America Diverse Empire Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e435503460f94b3754b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The Columbian Exchange

pineapples, tobacco, cacao beans, turkey
– CORN AND POTATOES
![Page 47: European Nations Settle North America Diverse Empire Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e435503460f94b3754b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Global Trade
• Colonial empires influenced nations of Europe• New wealth + overseas trade = new business
and trade practices
![Page 50: European Nations Settle North America Diverse Empire Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e435503460f94b3754b/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
The Rise of Capitalism
• Economic system based on private ownership and investment of resources (money)
• Businesses across Europe grew and Flourished
• Why?• Overseas colonization
and trade
![Page 51: European Nations Settle North America Diverse Empire Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e435503460f94b3754b/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
One Effect: Inflation
• Steady rise in the price of goods
• Increased money supply increased demand for goods
• Supply often could not keep up
• Thus goods were scarce and valuable
![Page 52: European Nations Settle North America Diverse Empire Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e435503460f94b3754b/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Joint-Stock Companies
• Investors bought shares of stock in a company
• Paid for establishment of overseas colonies
• Examples: Jamestown and Massachusetts Bay
![Page 53: European Nations Settle North America Diverse Empire Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e435503460f94b3754b/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
The Growth of Mercantilism
• Economic policy that emphasized the importance of wealth and a good balance of trade
![Page 54: European Nations Settle North America Diverse Empire Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e435503460f94b3754b/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Mercantilism
![Page 55: European Nations Settle North America Diverse Empire Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e435503460f94b3754b/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Mercantilism (Two Important Steps)
Step 1: Gold!• Obtain lots of gold and
silver
Step 2: Favorable Balance of Trade
• Sell more goods than you buy
• Exports out value imports
![Page 56: European Nations Settle North America Diverse Empire Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e435503460f94b3754b/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
What role did colonies play in mercantilism?
• Provided silver and gold• Provided raw materials• Was a sizeable market
for manufactured goods
![Page 57: European Nations Settle North America Diverse Empire Building.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e435503460f94b3754b/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
