HEY HISTORY! Topic: Controlling trade…

Imagine you are the king/queen of Spain! Your explorers have found a route to and from the Americas, and now you have started to colonize! Unfortunately, your country is losing money because the colonists have taken it upon themselves to trade with the natives and neighboring colonies… how would you address this problem?

INTRO TO MERCANTILISM Mercantilism:

new economic theory in the 1500s stated a country should do all it could to increase

its wealth wealth measured by amount of gold and silver

the country had. A country could gain wealth in two ways

Mine gold or silver at home or in colonies Sell more goods than it bought from other countries

A colony’s country would provide a strong market for manufactured goods, therefore colonies were forbade from buying manufactured goods from other countries

MERCANTILISM: GOOD OR BAD? Work with your shoulder partners to

answer the following questions: Why were the English and French so

insistent upon limiting products made in the colonies?

What might have been the result had mercantilism been successful and the English had acquired all the gold?

Record your answers on loose leaf. Discussion to follow…

GROWTH OF THE SLAVE TRADE By the 1500s, Europeans began using

slaves in their own overseas empires. Enslaving Native Americans was not

economically viable, so they started relying on enslaved Africans

Slave trade grew rapidly; by 1600s, slave trade was the chief focus in Euro. relations with Africa

ECONOMIC MERITS DEBATE Consider the economic merits of the

following topics: slave laborcheap skilled labor indentured servitude

Tables 2-4, you believe these are positive Tables 5-7, you believe these are negative

Form a group statement explaining why you are for or against these practices. Debate to follow…

CONSEQUENCES OF THE SLAVE TRADE Who Benefits from the Slave Trade? Who Hurts from the Slave Trade?

TRIANGULAR TRADE AND THE MIDDLE PASSAGE The slave trade in the Atlantic was part

of a system known as triangular trade First stage: merchants shipped goods to

Africa in exchange for gold or slaves Second stage: the shipment of slaves

across the Atlantic to Americas – known as the Middle Passage

Third stage: merchants sent plantation products to Europe

TRADE ROUTES: SLAVES AND GOODS Use the map on Page 206. On your map, outline the primary slave

trade routes, other trade routes, and the specific items that were moved from place to place.

HEY HISTORY! Topic: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Take a minute to reflect on the effects of colonization on the rest of the world… obviously, some effects were positive in nature while others were quite bad, or even ugly.

List as many effects of colonization in the new world you can come up with, categorizing them by GOOD, BAD, and UGLY

CONSEQUENCES OF COLONIZATION CHART Using your textbooks, class notes, and

smart devices, students complete the graphic organizer indicating the areas colonized by Spain, France, England, Portugal, and Amsterdam and the purpose and consequences of colonization.

CONSEQUENCES OF COLONIZATION Spain Area: North/South America, Caribbean Purpose: Self-sustaining colonies,

Convert natives to Christianity, Expand absolute power of the monarchy, Acquire gold and precious metals

Consequences: Political: continued dominance of church

inquisitionSocial: no development of the middle class;

rigid social structuresEconomic: gold kept coming into Spain

CONSEQUENCES OF COLONIZATION France Area: Louisiana, Haiti, Canada Purpose: Agricultural wealth made

colonization less attractive to French citizens. Controlled territory for raw materials supplied by native peoples. Tropical areas developed a plantation economy in sugar and cotton.

Consequences: Political: interested in politics at home, wars in

Americas cost them most of their colonies Social: French respected the Native Americans Economic: established settlements based on

fishing industry, fur trade

CONSEQUENCES OF COLONIZATION England Area: North America, India, Indonesia, Australia Purpose: Enclosure movement made it easy to

attract settlers to the New World. Joint-stock companies combined adventurers, settlers and profits. Colonies supplied raw materials for emerging factory systems

Consequences: Political: rights of Englishmen made colonists more

independent Social: mobility of classes based on wealth, not

birth Economic: important source of trade; competed

with mother country and opposed Mercantilism

CONSEQUENCES OF COLONIZATION Amsterdam Area: North/South America, Southeast Asia,

Caribbean Purpose: During the 17th century

Amsterdam emerged as the center of European commerce and banking. Exploration was for the purpose of trade and financial growth.

Consequences: Political: govt. defined by charter of East India

Trading Company Social: slave societies Economic: joint-stock company

CONSEQUENCES OF COLONIZATION Portugal Area: Africa, India, Indonesia, South America Purpose: Searching for a faster route to India

and Indonesia to profit from the spice trade. Prince Henry the Navigator promoted exploration.

Consequences: Political: first global empire where natives were

rules by appointed officialsSocial: slave societiesEconomic: first to reach India allowed country to

become one of the richest in Europe

EFFECTS OF COLONIZATION ON LANGUAGE AND RELIGION Use the linguistic map of the world

today and the map of world religions today.

Consider how colonization is linked to the spread of religion and languages…

Work in your partner groups to explain how particular patterns of language were created. Also, explain why religious change occurred in some areas and not in others (e.g., South American colonies versus India)

AGE OF DISCOVERY AND COLONIZATION OPINION STATEMENTS

Work in your groups to complete the following assignment…

Create a two column chart, labeling the columns with the following titles – EUROPEAN COLONIZERS and NATIVE PEOPLE BEING COLONIZED.
