A ChangingWorld

In 1271 Marco Polo set off from the city of Venice on a great trek across Asia toChina Only 17 years old at the time Polo journeyed with his father and uncle bothVenetian merchants Traveling on camels for more than three years the merchantscrossed almost 7000 miles (11265 km) of mountains and deserts Finally theyreached the palace of Kublai Khan (KOObullbluh KAHN) the Mongol emperor ofChina There Marco Polo spent 17 years working for the Khan and learning muchabout Chinarsquos advanced culture

Expanding HorizonsFor centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire the people of western

Europe were isolated from the rest of the world Their world dominated by theCatholic Church was divided into many small kingdoms and city-states

Meanwhile the religion known as Islam swept across the Middle East andAfrica The followers of Islam are known as Muslims As Muslim power grew

39CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

European Christians became fearful of losingaccess to the Holy Land the birthplace of Chris-tianity in what is now Israel

Beginning in 1095 the Europeans launchedthe first of nine expeditions known as the Cru-sades to regain control of their holy sites TheCrusades brought west Europeans into contactwith the Middle East Arab merchants sold spicessugar silk and other goods from China and Indiato the Europeans As European interest in Asiagrew Marco Polo returned from China In 1296he began writing an account of his trip describingthe marvels of Asia Polorsquos Travels was widelyread in Europe Little did he realize that 200years later his book about the East would inspireChristopher Columbus and others to sail in theopposite direction to reach the same destination

EconomicsThe Growth of Trade

Merchants could make a fortune sellinggoods from the Orient Wealthy Europeansclamored for cinnamon pepper cloves andother spices They also wanted perfumes silksand precious stones

Buying the goods from Arab traders in theMiddle East the merchants sent them overlandby caravan to the Mediterranean Sea and thenby ship to Italian ports The cities of VeniceGenoa and Pisa prospered and became centersof the growing East-West trade The Arab mer-chants however charged very high prices Asdemand for Asian goods increased Europeansbegan looking for a route to the East thatbypassed the Arab merchants

The Growth of IdeasIn the 1300s a powerful new spirit emerged in

the Italian city-states and spread throughoutEurope The development of banking and theexpansion of trade with Asia made Italian mer-chants wealthy These citizens were able to pur-sue an interest in the regionrsquos past and learnmore about the glorious civilizations of ancientRome and Greece

Because they wanted to improve their knowl-edge of people and of the world Italians studiedthe classicalmdashancient Greek and Romanmdash

$

works with new interest Scholars translatedGreek manuscripts on philosophy poetry andscience Many thinkers of this period began totake a more experimental approach to sciencethey tested new and old theories and evaluatedthe results

Influenced by the classical texts a great manyauthors began to write about the individual andthe universe Artists studied the sculpture andarchitecture of the classical world They particu-larly admired the harmony and balance in Greekart with its realistic way of portraying people

The RenaissanceThis period of intellectual and artistic cre-

ativity became known as the Renaissance (REH

bullnuhbullSAHNTS) A French word meaningldquorebirthrdquo it refers to the renewed interest inclassical Greek and Roman learning Over thenext two centuries the Renaissance spreadnorth south and west reaching Spain andnorthern Europe in the 1400s

The spirit of the Renaissance dramaticallychanged the way Europeans thought aboutthemselves and the world It encouraged themto pursue new ideas and set new goals it pavedthe way for an age of exploration and discovery

Describing What cultures influencedthe Renaissance

Powerful Nations EmergeDuring the 1400s the population of western

Europe began to increase Merchants andbankers in the growing cities wanted to expandtheir businesses through foreign trade If theycould buy spices and silks from the East directlywithout going through the Arab and Italiancities they could earn huge profits They lookedfor alternatives to the overland route throughthe Middle East

The development of large nation-states inwestern Europe helped expand trade and inter-est in overseas exploration For many yearsEurope had been a patchwork of small statesPolitical power was divided among local lordsand few people traveled outside their region

ldquoLand hordquo The tools that early explorers used tosail the uncharted seas were much different fromthe instruments used today One early navigationtool was the astrolabe A sailor held the astrolabevertically located a star through its sights andmeasured the starrsquos elevation above thehorizon A shiprsquos approximate latitudecould be identified this way

Today navigation satellites do the work of anastrolabemdashand more The NAVSTAR GlobalPositioning System (GPS) satellites werelaunched by the United States in 1993 Fromspace the GPS can track the location of avehicle on the earth to within a few metersof its actual position

Astrolabe to Satellite

Satellites transmitscientific data

Sailors used the astro-labe for navigation

By the 1400s however a new type of central-ized state was emerging in western EuropeStrong monarchs came to power in Spain Por-tugal England and France They began toestablish national laws courts taxes andarmies to replace those of local lords Theseambitious kings and queens sought ways toincrease trade and make their countriesstronger and wealthier

Explaining What resulted from theemergence of large nation-states

Technologyrsquos ImpactAdvances in technologymdashthe use of scientific

knowledge for practical purposesmdashpaved theway for European voyages of exploration In the1450s the introduction of movable type and theprinting press made it much easier to printbooks Now more people could have access tobooks and to new information After its publica-tion in print form in 1477 many Europeans readMarco Polorsquos Travels

GeographyBetter Maps

Maps were a problem for early navigatorsMost maps were inaccurate because they weredrawn from the often-mistaken impressions oftraders and travelers Little by little cartogra-phers or mapmakers gradually improvedtheir skills

Using the reports of explorers and informa-tion from Arab geographers mapmakers mademore accurate land and sea maps These mapsshowed the direction of ocean currents Theyalso showed lines of latitude which measuredthe distance north and south of the Equator

Better instruments were developed for navi-gating the seas Sailors could determine theirlatitude while at sea with an astrolabe aninstrument that measured the position of starsEuropeans also acquired the magnetic compassa Chinese invention that began to be widelyused in Europe and the Middle East in the 1200sThe compass allowed sailors to determine theirdirection when they were far from land

Better ShipsAdvances in ship design allowed ship-

builders to build sailing vessels capable of longocean voyages The stern rudder and the trian-gular sail made it possible for ships to sail intothe wind Both of these new features came fromthe Arabs In the late 1400s the Portuguesedeveloped the three-masted caravel The caravelsailed faster than earlier ships and carried morecargo and food supplies It also could float inshallow water which allowed sailors to exploreinlets and to sail their ships up to the beach to

make repairs A Venetian sailor calledthe caravels ldquothe best ships thatsailed the seasrdquo

By the mid-1400s the Italian portsfaced increased competition for for-eign trade Powerful countries likePortugal and Spain began searchingfor sea routes to Asia launching a newera of exploration Portugal began itsexploration by sending ships downthe west coast of Africa which Euro-peans had never visited before

Explaining How didthe caravel affect overseas exploration in thefifteenth and sixteenth centuries

African KingdomsPowerful kingdoms flourished in

Africa south of the Sahara between400 and 1600 The region was richwith natural resources Africansmined gold copper and iron oreTrade with Islamic societies in NorthAfrica brought both wealth andIslamic ideas and customs to theWest African kingdoms

City-states on the east coast of Africa also ben-efited from trade There Arab traders from theMiddle East brought cotton silk and porcelainfrom India and China to exchange for ivory andmetals from the African interior

As the Portuguese sailed south along theAfrican coastline in the mid-1400s they set uptrading posts From these they traded for goldand for slaves

GhanamdashA Trading EmpireBetween 400 and 1100 a vast trading empire

called Ghana emerged in West Africa Welllocated between the salt mines of the Sahara andthe gold mines to the south Ghana prosperedfrom the taxes the leaders of the empire imposedon trade

Caravans with gold ivory and slaves fromGhana crossed the Sahara to North Africa Mus-lim traders from North Africa loaded caravans

More than 150 years after the death of Marco Polo a young Italian sea captainmdashChristopher Columbusmdashsat down to read Polorsquos Travels with interest Columbus readwhat Polo had to say about the islands of Cipangu or present-day Japan According toPolo Cipangu lay some 1500 miles (2414 km) off the eastern shore of Asia Becausethe earth is round Columbus reasoned a person sailing west from Europe shouldquickly reach Cipangu It could be much closer than anyone thought

Unfortunately Marco Polomdashand therefore Columbusmdashwas wrong

Seeking New Trade RoutesThe maps that Columbus and the first European explorers used did not

include America They showed three continentsmdashEurope Asia and Africamdashmerged together in a gigantic landmass or large area of land This landmasswas bordered by oceans Some explorers thought that the Western (Atlantic)and Eastern (Pacific) Oceans ran together to form what they called the OceanSea At the time no one realized that another huge landmass was missing fromthe maps They also did not realize that the oceans were as large as they are

Portugal took the lead in exploring theboundaries of the known world Because Portu-gal lacked a Mediterranean port it could not bepart of the profitable trade between Asia andEurope The countryrsquos ambitious rulers wantedto find a new route to China and India

The Portuguese also hoped to find a moredirect way to get West African gold The goldtraveled by caravan across the desert to NorthAfrica then by ship across the MediterraneanPortuguese traders needed a better route

Early Portuguese VoyagesPrince Henry of Portugal laid the ground-

work for a new era of exploration He was fasci-nated by what lay beyond the knownboundaries of the world In about 1420 he set upa center for exploration on the southwestern tipof Portugal ldquowhere endeth land and where

beginneth seardquo Known as Henry the Navigatorthe prince brought astronomers geographersand mathematicians to share their knowledgewith Portuguese sailors and shipbuilders

As Portuguese ships moved south along thecoast of West Africa they traded for gold andivory and established trading posts Because ofits abundance of gold the area came to beknown as the Gold Coast In the mid-1400s thePortuguese began buying slaves there as well

King John II of Portugal launched new efforts to realize the Portuguese dream of atrading empire in Asia If the Portuguese couldfind a sea route around Africa they could tradedirectly with India and China In the 1480s theking urged Portuguese sea captains to explorefarther south along the African coast

Bartholomeu DiasIn 1487 the king sent Bartholomeu Dias to

explore the southernmost part of Africa As Diasapproached the area he ran into a terrible stormthat carried him off course and around the south-ern tip of Africa Dias wrote that he had beenaround the ldquoCape of Stormsrdquo On learning ofDiasrsquos discovery King John II renamed thissouthern tip of land the Cape of Good Hopemdashhehoped that the passage around Africa might leadto a new route to India

Vasco da GamaThe first Portuguese voyages to India were

made years later In July 1497 after much prepa-ration Vasco da Gama set out from Portugalwith four ships Da Gama sailed down the coastof West Africa rounded the Cape of Good Hopeand visited cities along the coast of East AfricaHe engaged an Arab pilot who knew the IndianOcean well With the pilotrsquos help Da Gamasailed on to India He reached the port of Calicutin 1498 completing the long-awaited eastern searoute to Asia

Analyzing Why was Portugal interested in exploration

Columbus Crosses the AtlanticChristopher Columbus had a different plan

for reaching Asia He thought he could get thereby sailing west Born in Genoa Italy in 1451Columbus became a sailor for Portugal He hadtraveled as far north as the Arctic Circle and asfar south as the Gold Coast

In the 1400s most educated people believedthe world was round A more difficult matterwas determining its size Columbus was amongthose who based their estimates of the earthrsquossize on the work of Ptolemy an ancient Greekastronomer Columbus believed Asia was about2760 miles (4441 km) from Europemdasha voyageof about two months by ship Ptolemy howeverhad underestimated the size of the world

The Viking voyages to other lands were notwell known Europeans did not ldquodiscoverrdquo theAmericas until Columbus made his great voyage

Spain Backs ColumbusFor most of the 1400s Spanish monarchs

devoted their energy to driving the Muslims outof their country With the fall of the last Muslimkingdom in southern Spain in 1492 King Ferdi-nand and Queen Isabella of Spain could focuson other goals The Spanish had been watchingthe seafaring and trading successes of neighbor-

ing Portugal with envy They too wanted toshare in the riches of Asian trade Columbusneeded a sponsor to finance his ambitious proj-ect of a westward voyage to Asia He visitedmany European courts looking for supportAfter years of frustration he finally found asponsor in Spain

Queen Isabella a devout Christian wasfinally persuaded by her husbandrsquos minister offinance to support the expedition for two rea-sons First Columbus had promised to bringChristianity to any lands he found Second if hefound a way to Asia Spain would become verywealthy She promised Columbus a share of anyriches gained from lands he discovered on hisway to Asia

Columbusrsquos First VoyageOn August 3 1492 Columbus set out from

Palos Spain He had two small ships the Nintildeaand the Pinta and a larger one the Santa Mariacuteacarrying a total of about 90 sailors The smallfleet stopped at the Canary Islands for repairs and to stock up on supplies then sailed west-ward into the unknown

The ships had good winds but after a monthat sea the sailors began to worry Columbuswrote that he was

ldquohaving trouble with the crew I am toldthat if I persist in going onward the best courseof action will be to throw me into the seardquo

Columbus however was determined He toldthe men ldquoI made this voyage to go to the Indiesand [I] shall continue until I find them withGodrsquos helprdquo To convince the crew that they hadnot traveled too far from home Columbus alteredthe distances in his shiprsquos log (See page 959 of the

Primary Sources Library for another log entry by Columbus)

Learning From History1 According to Christopher Columbus

who owned the land that heexplored in the Americas

2 How did the relationship betweenEuropeans and Native Americansseem to change as more and moreEuropeans came to America

Columbus explored the area forseveral months convinced he hadreached the East Indies the islands offthe coast of Asia Today the Carib-bean Islands are often referred to asthe West Indies Columbus called thelocal people Indians He noted thatthey regarded the Europeans withwonder and often touched them tofind out ldquoif they were flesh and boneslike themselvesrdquo

When Columbus returned toSpain in triumph Queen Isabellaand King Ferdinand received himwith great honor and agreed tofinance his future voyages Colum-bus had earned the title of Admiralof the Ocean Sea

Columbusrsquos Later VoyagesColumbus made three more voy-

ages from Spain in 1493 1498 and1502 He explored the Caribbeanislands of Hispaniola (present-dayHaiti and the Dominican Republic)Cuba and Jamaica and he sailedalong the coasts of Central Americaand northern South America Heclaimed the new lands for Spain andestablished settlements

Columbus originally thought thelands he had found were in AsiaLater explorations made it clear thatColumbus had not reached Asia atall He had found a part of the globeunknown to Europeans Asians andAfricans In the following years theSpanish explored most of theCaribbean region In time their voy-ages led to the establishment of theSpanish Empire in the Americas

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

After encountering troubles in Florida theexpedition led by Paacutenfilo de Narvaacuteez sailedalong the coast toward Mexico However inNovember 1528 three of the five boats were lostin a storm The two boats that survived wentaground on an island near present-day TexasWithin a few months only a handful of the ship-wrecked explorers were still alive

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

Exploring North America

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Church officials tried to get Luther to take back his statements ldquoI cannot go againstmy consciencerdquo he replied ldquoHere I stand I cannot do otherwise God help merdquo

A Divided ChurchMartin Lutherrsquos actions led to incredible changes in Europe Before he voiced

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

Reading a Time Line

Social StudiesSocial Studies

C02-10Ctimeline tk

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines

4 How long did Magellanrsquos voyage around theworld take

c 1480Magellan is bornin Sabrosa Portugal

A ChangingWorld

In 1271 Marco Polo set off from the city of Venice on a great trek across Asia toChina Only 17 years old at the time Polo journeyed with his father and uncle bothVenetian merchants Traveling on camels for more than three years the merchantscrossed almost 7000 miles (11265 km) of mountains and deserts Finally theyreached the palace of Kublai Khan (KOObullbluh KAHN) the Mongol emperor ofChina There Marco Polo spent 17 years working for the Khan and learning muchabout Chinarsquos advanced culture

Expanding HorizonsFor centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire the people of western

Europe were isolated from the rest of the world Their world dominated by theCatholic Church was divided into many small kingdoms and city-states

Meanwhile the religion known as Islam swept across the Middle East andAfrica The followers of Islam are known as Muslims As Muslim power grew

European Christians became fearful of losingaccess to the Holy Land the birthplace of Chris-tianity in what is now Israel

Beginning in 1095 the Europeans launchedthe first of nine expeditions known as the Cru-sades to regain control of their holy sites TheCrusades brought west Europeans into contactwith the Middle East Arab merchants sold spicessugar silk and other goods from China and Indiato the Europeans As European interest in Asiagrew Marco Polo returned from China In 1296he began writing an account of his trip describingthe marvels of Asia Polorsquos Travels was widelyread in Europe Little did he realize that 200years later his book about the East would inspireChristopher Columbus and others to sail in theopposite direction to reach the same destination

EconomicsThe Growth of Trade

Merchants could make a fortune sellinggoods from the Orient Wealthy Europeansclamored for cinnamon pepper cloves andother spices They also wanted perfumes silksand precious stones

Buying the goods from Arab traders in theMiddle East the merchants sent them overlandby caravan to the Mediterranean Sea and thenby ship to Italian ports The cities of VeniceGenoa and Pisa prospered and became centersof the growing East-West trade The Arab mer-chants however charged very high prices Asdemand for Asian goods increased Europeansbegan looking for a route to the East thatbypassed the Arab merchants

The Growth of IdeasIn the 1300s a powerful new spirit emerged in

the Italian city-states and spread throughoutEurope The development of banking and theexpansion of trade with Asia made Italian mer-chants wealthy These citizens were able to pur-sue an interest in the regionrsquos past and learnmore about the glorious civilizations of ancientRome and Greece

Because they wanted to improve their knowl-edge of people and of the world Italians studiedthe classicalmdashancient Greek and Romanmdash

$

works with new interest Scholars translatedGreek manuscripts on philosophy poetry andscience Many thinkers of this period began totake a more experimental approach to sciencethey tested new and old theories and evaluatedthe results

Influenced by the classical texts a great manyauthors began to write about the individual andthe universe Artists studied the sculpture andarchitecture of the classical world They particu-larly admired the harmony and balance in Greekart with its realistic way of portraying people

The RenaissanceThis period of intellectual and artistic cre-

ativity became known as the Renaissance (REH

bullnuhbullSAHNTS) A French word meaningldquorebirthrdquo it refers to the renewed interest inclassical Greek and Roman learning Over thenext two centuries the Renaissance spreadnorth south and west reaching Spain andnorthern Europe in the 1400s

The spirit of the Renaissance dramaticallychanged the way Europeans thought aboutthemselves and the world It encouraged themto pursue new ideas and set new goals it pavedthe way for an age of exploration and discovery

Describing What cultures influencedthe Renaissance

Powerful Nations EmergeDuring the 1400s the population of western

Europe began to increase Merchants andbankers in the growing cities wanted to expandtheir businesses through foreign trade If theycould buy spices and silks from the East directlywithout going through the Arab and Italiancities they could earn huge profits They lookedfor alternatives to the overland route throughthe Middle East

The development of large nation-states inwestern Europe helped expand trade and inter-est in overseas exploration For many yearsEurope had been a patchwork of small statesPolitical power was divided among local lordsand few people traveled outside their region

ldquoLand hordquo The tools that early explorers used tosail the uncharted seas were much different fromthe instruments used today One early navigationtool was the astrolabe A sailor held the astrolabevertically located a star through its sights andmeasured the starrsquos elevation above thehorizon A shiprsquos approximate latitudecould be identified this way

Today navigation satellites do the work of anastrolabemdashand more The NAVSTAR GlobalPositioning System (GPS) satellites werelaunched by the United States in 1993 Fromspace the GPS can track the location of avehicle on the earth to within a few metersof its actual position

Astrolabe to Satellite

Satellites transmitscientific data

Sailors used the astro-labe for navigation

By the 1400s however a new type of central-ized state was emerging in western EuropeStrong monarchs came to power in Spain Por-tugal England and France They began toestablish national laws courts taxes andarmies to replace those of local lords Theseambitious kings and queens sought ways toincrease trade and make their countriesstronger and wealthier

Explaining What resulted from theemergence of large nation-states

Technologyrsquos ImpactAdvances in technologymdashthe use of scientific

knowledge for practical purposesmdashpaved theway for European voyages of exploration In the1450s the introduction of movable type and theprinting press made it much easier to printbooks Now more people could have access tobooks and to new information After its publica-tion in print form in 1477 many Europeans readMarco Polorsquos Travels

GeographyBetter Maps

Maps were a problem for early navigatorsMost maps were inaccurate because they weredrawn from the often-mistaken impressions oftraders and travelers Little by little cartogra-phers or mapmakers gradually improvedtheir skills

Using the reports of explorers and informa-tion from Arab geographers mapmakers mademore accurate land and sea maps These mapsshowed the direction of ocean currents Theyalso showed lines of latitude which measuredthe distance north and south of the Equator

Better instruments were developed for navi-gating the seas Sailors could determine theirlatitude while at sea with an astrolabe aninstrument that measured the position of starsEuropeans also acquired the magnetic compassa Chinese invention that began to be widelyused in Europe and the Middle East in the 1200sThe compass allowed sailors to determine theirdirection when they were far from land

Better ShipsAdvances in ship design allowed ship-

builders to build sailing vessels capable of longocean voyages The stern rudder and the trian-gular sail made it possible for ships to sail intothe wind Both of these new features came fromthe Arabs In the late 1400s the Portuguesedeveloped the three-masted caravel The caravelsailed faster than earlier ships and carried morecargo and food supplies It also could float inshallow water which allowed sailors to exploreinlets and to sail their ships up to the beach to

By the mid-1400s the Italian portsfaced increased competition for for-eign trade Powerful countries likePortugal and Spain began searchingfor sea routes to Asia launching a newera of exploration Portugal began itsexploration by sending ships downthe west coast of Africa which Euro-peans had never visited before

Explaining How didthe caravel affect overseas exploration in thefifteenth and sixteenth centuries

African KingdomsPowerful kingdoms flourished in

Africa south of the Sahara between400 and 1600 The region was richwith natural resources Africansmined gold copper and iron oreTrade with Islamic societies in NorthAfrica brought both wealth andIslamic ideas and customs to theWest African kingdoms

City-states on the east coast of Africa also ben-efited from trade There Arab traders from theMiddle East brought cotton silk and porcelainfrom India and China to exchange for ivory andmetals from the African interior

As the Portuguese sailed south along theAfrican coastline in the mid-1400s they set uptrading posts From these they traded for goldand for slaves

GhanamdashA Trading EmpireBetween 400 and 1100 a vast trading empire

called Ghana emerged in West Africa Welllocated between the salt mines of the Sahara andthe gold mines to the south Ghana prosperedfrom the taxes the leaders of the empire imposedon trade

More than 150 years after the death of Marco Polo a young Italian sea captainmdashChristopher Columbusmdashsat down to read Polorsquos Travels with interest Columbus readwhat Polo had to say about the islands of Cipangu or present-day Japan According toPolo Cipangu lay some 1500 miles (2414 km) off the eastern shore of Asia Becausethe earth is round Columbus reasoned a person sailing west from Europe shouldquickly reach Cipangu It could be much closer than anyone thought

Unfortunately Marco Polomdashand therefore Columbusmdashwas wrong

Seeking New Trade RoutesThe maps that Columbus and the first European explorers used did not

include America They showed three continentsmdashEurope Asia and Africamdashmerged together in a gigantic landmass or large area of land This landmasswas bordered by oceans Some explorers thought that the Western (Atlantic)and Eastern (Pacific) Oceans ran together to form what they called the OceanSea At the time no one realized that another huge landmass was missing fromthe maps They also did not realize that the oceans were as large as they are

Portugal took the lead in exploring theboundaries of the known world Because Portu-gal lacked a Mediterranean port it could not bepart of the profitable trade between Asia andEurope The countryrsquos ambitious rulers wantedto find a new route to China and India

The Portuguese also hoped to find a moredirect way to get West African gold The goldtraveled by caravan across the desert to NorthAfrica then by ship across the MediterraneanPortuguese traders needed a better route

Early Portuguese VoyagesPrince Henry of Portugal laid the ground-

work for a new era of exploration He was fasci-nated by what lay beyond the knownboundaries of the world In about 1420 he set upa center for exploration on the southwestern tipof Portugal ldquowhere endeth land and where

beginneth seardquo Known as Henry the Navigatorthe prince brought astronomers geographersand mathematicians to share their knowledgewith Portuguese sailors and shipbuilders

As Portuguese ships moved south along thecoast of West Africa they traded for gold andivory and established trading posts Because ofits abundance of gold the area came to beknown as the Gold Coast In the mid-1400s thePortuguese began buying slaves there as well

King John II of Portugal launched new efforts to realize the Portuguese dream of atrading empire in Asia If the Portuguese couldfind a sea route around Africa they could tradedirectly with India and China In the 1480s theking urged Portuguese sea captains to explorefarther south along the African coast

Bartholomeu DiasIn 1487 the king sent Bartholomeu Dias to

explore the southernmost part of Africa As Diasapproached the area he ran into a terrible stormthat carried him off course and around the south-ern tip of Africa Dias wrote that he had beenaround the ldquoCape of Stormsrdquo On learning ofDiasrsquos discovery King John II renamed thissouthern tip of land the Cape of Good Hopemdashhehoped that the passage around Africa might leadto a new route to India

Vasco da GamaThe first Portuguese voyages to India were

made years later In July 1497 after much prepa-ration Vasco da Gama set out from Portugalwith four ships Da Gama sailed down the coastof West Africa rounded the Cape of Good Hopeand visited cities along the coast of East AfricaHe engaged an Arab pilot who knew the IndianOcean well With the pilotrsquos help Da Gamasailed on to India He reached the port of Calicutin 1498 completing the long-awaited eastern searoute to Asia

for reaching Asia He thought he could get thereby sailing west Born in Genoa Italy in 1451Columbus became a sailor for Portugal He hadtraveled as far north as the Arctic Circle and asfar south as the Gold Coast

In the 1400s most educated people believedthe world was round A more difficult matterwas determining its size Columbus was amongthose who based their estimates of the earthrsquossize on the work of Ptolemy an ancient Greekastronomer Columbus believed Asia was about2760 miles (4441 km) from Europemdasha voyageof about two months by ship Ptolemy howeverhad underestimated the size of the world

The Viking VoyagesSeveral centuries before Columbus northern

Europeans called Vikings had sailed west andreached North America In the 800s and 900sViking ships visited Iceland and Greenland andestablished settlements According to Norse

Spain Backs ColumbusFor most of the 1400s Spanish monarchs

devoted their energy to driving the Muslims outof their country With the fall of the last Muslimkingdom in southern Spain in 1492 King Ferdi-nand and Queen Isabella of Spain could focuson other goals The Spanish had been watchingthe seafaring and trading successes of neighbor-

ing Portugal with envy They too wanted toshare in the riches of Asian trade Columbusneeded a sponsor to finance his ambitious proj-ect of a westward voyage to Asia He visitedmany European courts looking for supportAfter years of frustration he finally found asponsor in Spain

Queen Isabella a devout Christian wasfinally persuaded by her husbandrsquos minister offinance to support the expedition for two rea-sons First Columbus had promised to bringChristianity to any lands he found Second if hefound a way to Asia Spain would become verywealthy She promised Columbus a share of anyriches gained from lands he discovered on hisway to Asia

Columbusrsquos First VoyageOn August 3 1492 Columbus set out from

Palos Spain He had two small ships the Nintildeaand the Pinta and a larger one the Santa Mariacuteacarrying a total of about 90 sailors The smallfleet stopped at the Canary Islands for repairs and to stock up on supplies then sailed west-ward into the unknown

The ships had good winds but after a monthat sea the sailors began to worry Columbuswrote that he was

ldquohaving trouble with the crew I am toldthat if I persist in going onward the best courseof action will be to throw me into the seardquo

Columbus however was determined He toldthe men ldquoI made this voyage to go to the Indiesand [I] shall continue until I find them withGodrsquos helprdquo To convince the crew that they hadnot traveled too far from home Columbus alteredthe distances in his shiprsquos log (See page 959 of the

Primary Sources Library for another log entry by Columbus)

Letter from Christopher Columbus to the

King and Queen of Spain March 4 1493

I come from the Indies with the armada

Your Highnesses gave me I found innumer-

able [many] people and very many islands of

which I took possession in Your Highnessesrsquo

name by royal crier and with Your Highnessesrsquo

royal banner unfurled and it was not

contradicted

And I continued to enter very many

harbors in each of which I placed a very

large cross in the most appropriate spot as

I had done in all the other [harbors] of the

other islands

Speech by Chief Red Jacket leader of the SenecaNation to a white missionary 1805There was a time when our forefathers owned this great

island Their seats extended from the rising to the setting ofthe sun The Great Spirit had made it for the use of IndiansHe had created buffalo the deer and other animals forfood He had made the bear and beaver and their skinsserved us for clothing The white people brother had now found our country

Tidings were carried back and more came amongst us Yetwe did not fear them We took them to be friends Brother our seats were once large and yours were verysmall You have now become a great people and we havescarcely a place left tospread our blanketsYou have got our coun-try but you are not

Learning From History1 According to Christopher Columbus

who owned the land that heexplored in the Americas

2 How did the relationship betweenEuropeans and Native Americansseem to change as more and moreEuropeans came to America

Columbus explored the area forseveral months convinced he hadreached the East Indies the islands offthe coast of Asia Today the Carib-bean Islands are often referred to asthe West Indies Columbus called thelocal people Indians He noted thatthey regarded the Europeans withwonder and often touched them tofind out ldquoif they were flesh and boneslike themselvesrdquo

When Columbus returned toSpain in triumph Queen Isabellaand King Ferdinand received himwith great honor and agreed tofinance his future voyages Colum-bus had earned the title of Admiralof the Ocean Sea

Columbusrsquos Later VoyagesColumbus made three more voy-

ages from Spain in 1493 1498 and1502 He explored the Caribbeanislands of Hispaniola (present-dayHaiti and the Dominican Republic)Cuba and Jamaica and he sailedalong the coasts of Central Americaand northern South America Heclaimed the new lands for Spain andestablished settlements

Columbus originally thought thelands he had found were in AsiaLater explorations made it clear thatColumbus had not reached Asia atall He had found a part of the globeunknown to Europeans Asians andAfricans In the following years theSpanish explored most of theCaribbean region In time their voy-ages led to the establishment of theSpanish Empire in the Americas

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

PADRE ONHORSEBACKMISSIONARY AND EXPLORER Eusebio Kino(yoobullSAYbullbebulloh KEEbullno) was an Italian who studiedastronomy mapmaking and mathematics beforebecoming a Jesuit priest In 1681 he went to Mexicowith the Spaniards to map the area and convertNative Americans to Catholicism

MISSIONARY IN THE PIMERIacuteA ALTA

After several years in Mexico City and Baja California Father Kino was sent to establish missions in the ldquoPimeriacutea Altardquomdashthe Upper Pima Countrymdashpartof present-day Sonora Mexico and southern Arizona

In March 1687 Father Kino established his first mission Nuestra Sentildeora de los Dolores at Cosari Hehelped start more than 20 missions along the SanMiguel Magdalena and Altar rivers

Father Kino and other missionaries changed the faceof Pimeriacutea Alta forever The priests converted thousandsof Native Americans to Christianity By introducing live-stock wheat European fruit and other new crops themissionaries altered the economy of the region

Exploring North America

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Church officials tried to get Luther to take back his statements ldquoI cannot go againstmy consciencerdquo he replied ldquoHere I stand I cannot do otherwise God help merdquo

A Divided ChurchMartin Lutherrsquos actions led to incredible changes in Europe Before he voiced

his beliefs the countries of Europe had their differences but they were boundtogether by a common church For centuries Catholicism had been the mainreligion of western Europe In the 1500s however Lutherrsquos opposition to thepolicies of the Roman Catholic Church emerged

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian ExchangeTrade between the continents known as the Columbian Exchange

changed life on both sides of the Atlantic

Europeans establishedlarge plantations workedby Native Americans andby Africans

Europeans brought wheat grapesand livestock to the AmericasEuropeans also introduced diseasesto which the Native Americanswere not immune

From Native Americans Euro-peans acquired foods such ascorn potatoes tomatoes beansand chocolate

Easy-to-grow food crops suchas the potato fed Europersquosgrowing population Somefoods such as corn also spread to Asia and Africa

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

French Open Trading PostsFrance had shown little interest in building an

empire in the Americas Its rulers were preoccu-pied by political and religious conflicts at homeThe French viewed North America as an oppor-tunity for profits from fishing and fur tradingrather than as a place to settle

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

A ChangingWorld

In 1271 Marco Polo set off from the city of Venice on a great trek across Asia toChina Only 17 years old at the time Polo journeyed with his father and uncle bothVenetian merchants Traveling on camels for more than three years the merchantscrossed almost 7000 miles (11265 km) of mountains and deserts Finally theyreached the palace of Kublai Khan (KOObullbluh KAHN) the Mongol emperor ofChina There Marco Polo spent 17 years working for the Khan and learning muchabout Chinarsquos advanced culture

Expanding HorizonsFor centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire the people of western

Europe were isolated from the rest of the world Their world dominated by theCatholic Church was divided into many small kingdoms and city-states

Meanwhile the religion known as Islam swept across the Middle East andAfrica The followers of Islam are known as Muslims As Muslim power grew

European Christians became fearful of losingaccess to the Holy Land the birthplace of Chris-tianity in what is now Israel

Beginning in 1095 the Europeans launchedthe first of nine expeditions known as the Cru-sades to regain control of their holy sites TheCrusades brought west Europeans into contactwith the Middle East Arab merchants sold spicessugar silk and other goods from China and Indiato the Europeans As European interest in Asiagrew Marco Polo returned from China In 1296he began writing an account of his trip describingthe marvels of Asia Polorsquos Travels was widelyread in Europe Little did he realize that 200years later his book about the East would inspireChristopher Columbus and others to sail in theopposite direction to reach the same destination

EconomicsThe Growth of Trade

Merchants could make a fortune sellinggoods from the Orient Wealthy Europeansclamored for cinnamon pepper cloves andother spices They also wanted perfumes silksand precious stones

Buying the goods from Arab traders in theMiddle East the merchants sent them overlandby caravan to the Mediterranean Sea and thenby ship to Italian ports The cities of VeniceGenoa and Pisa prospered and became centersof the growing East-West trade The Arab mer-chants however charged very high prices Asdemand for Asian goods increased Europeansbegan looking for a route to the East thatbypassed the Arab merchants

The Growth of IdeasIn the 1300s a powerful new spirit emerged in

the Italian city-states and spread throughoutEurope The development of banking and theexpansion of trade with Asia made Italian mer-chants wealthy These citizens were able to pur-sue an interest in the regionrsquos past and learnmore about the glorious civilizations of ancientRome and Greece

Because they wanted to improve their knowl-edge of people and of the world Italians studiedthe classicalmdashancient Greek and Romanmdash

works with new interest Scholars translatedGreek manuscripts on philosophy poetry andscience Many thinkers of this period began totake a more experimental approach to sciencethey tested new and old theories and evaluatedthe results

Influenced by the classical texts a great manyauthors began to write about the individual andthe universe Artists studied the sculpture andarchitecture of the classical world They particu-larly admired the harmony and balance in Greekart with its realistic way of portraying people

The RenaissanceThis period of intellectual and artistic cre-

ativity became known as the Renaissance (REH

bullnuhbullSAHNTS) A French word meaningldquorebirthrdquo it refers to the renewed interest inclassical Greek and Roman learning Over thenext two centuries the Renaissance spreadnorth south and west reaching Spain andnorthern Europe in the 1400s

The spirit of the Renaissance dramaticallychanged the way Europeans thought aboutthemselves and the world It encouraged themto pursue new ideas and set new goals it pavedthe way for an age of exploration and discovery

Describing What cultures influencedthe Renaissance

Powerful Nations EmergeDuring the 1400s the population of western

Europe began to increase Merchants andbankers in the growing cities wanted to expandtheir businesses through foreign trade If theycould buy spices and silks from the East directlywithout going through the Arab and Italiancities they could earn huge profits They lookedfor alternatives to the overland route throughthe Middle East

The development of large nation-states inwestern Europe helped expand trade and inter-est in overseas exploration For many yearsEurope had been a patchwork of small statesPolitical power was divided among local lordsand few people traveled outside their region

ldquoLand hordquo The tools that early explorers used tosail the uncharted seas were much different fromthe instruments used today One early navigationtool was the astrolabe A sailor held the astrolabevertically located a star through its sights andmeasured the starrsquos elevation above thehorizon A shiprsquos approximate latitudecould be identified this way

Today navigation satellites do the work of anastrolabemdashand more The NAVSTAR GlobalPositioning System (GPS) satellites werelaunched by the United States in 1993 Fromspace the GPS can track the location of avehicle on the earth to within a few metersof its actual position

Astrolabe to Satellite

Satellites transmitscientific data

Sailors used the astro-labe for navigation

By the 1400s however a new type of central-ized state was emerging in western EuropeStrong monarchs came to power in Spain Por-tugal England and France They began toestablish national laws courts taxes andarmies to replace those of local lords Theseambitious kings and queens sought ways toincrease trade and make their countriesstronger and wealthier

Explaining What resulted from theemergence of large nation-states

Technologyrsquos ImpactAdvances in technologymdashthe use of scientific

knowledge for practical purposesmdashpaved theway for European voyages of exploration In the1450s the introduction of movable type and theprinting press made it much easier to printbooks Now more people could have access tobooks and to new information After its publica-tion in print form in 1477 many Europeans readMarco Polorsquos Travels

GeographyBetter Maps

Maps were a problem for early navigatorsMost maps were inaccurate because they weredrawn from the often-mistaken impressions oftraders and travelers Little by little cartogra-phers or mapmakers gradually improvedtheir skills

Using the reports of explorers and informa-tion from Arab geographers mapmakers mademore accurate land and sea maps These mapsshowed the direction of ocean currents Theyalso showed lines of latitude which measuredthe distance north and south of the Equator

Better instruments were developed for navi-gating the seas Sailors could determine theirlatitude while at sea with an astrolabe aninstrument that measured the position of starsEuropeans also acquired the magnetic compassa Chinese invention that began to be widelyused in Europe and the Middle East in the 1200sThe compass allowed sailors to determine theirdirection when they were far from land

Better ShipsAdvances in ship design allowed ship-

builders to build sailing vessels capable of longocean voyages The stern rudder and the trian-gular sail made it possible for ships to sail intothe wind Both of these new features came fromthe Arabs In the late 1400s the Portuguesedeveloped the three-masted caravel The caravelsailed faster than earlier ships and carried morecargo and food supplies It also could float inshallow water which allowed sailors to exploreinlets and to sail their ships up to the beach to

African KingdomsPowerful kingdoms flourished in

Africa south of the Sahara between400 and 1600 The region was richwith natural resources Africansmined gold copper and iron oreTrade with Islamic societies in NorthAfrica brought both wealth andIslamic ideas and customs to theWest African kingdoms

City-states on the east coast of Africa also ben-efited from trade There Arab traders from theMiddle East brought cotton silk and porcelainfrom India and China to exchange for ivory andmetals from the African interior

called Ghana emerged in West Africa Welllocated between the salt mines of the Sahara andthe gold mines to the south Ghana prosperedfrom the taxes the leaders of the empire imposedon trade

More than 150 years after the death of Marco Polo a young Italian sea captainmdashChristopher Columbusmdashsat down to read Polorsquos Travels with interest Columbus readwhat Polo had to say about the islands of Cipangu or present-day Japan According toPolo Cipangu lay some 1500 miles (2414 km) off the eastern shore of Asia Becausethe earth is round Columbus reasoned a person sailing west from Europe shouldquickly reach Cipangu It could be much closer than anyone thought

Unfortunately Marco Polomdashand therefore Columbusmdashwas wrong

Seeking New Trade RoutesThe maps that Columbus and the first European explorers used did not

include America They showed three continentsmdashEurope Asia and Africamdashmerged together in a gigantic landmass or large area of land This landmasswas bordered by oceans Some explorers thought that the Western (Atlantic)and Eastern (Pacific) Oceans ran together to form what they called the OceanSea At the time no one realized that another huge landmass was missing fromthe maps They also did not realize that the oceans were as large as they are

Portugal took the lead in exploring theboundaries of the known world Because Portu-gal lacked a Mediterranean port it could not bepart of the profitable trade between Asia andEurope The countryrsquos ambitious rulers wantedto find a new route to China and India

The Portuguese also hoped to find a moredirect way to get West African gold The goldtraveled by caravan across the desert to NorthAfrica then by ship across the MediterraneanPortuguese traders needed a better route

Early Portuguese VoyagesPrince Henry of Portugal laid the ground-

work for a new era of exploration He was fasci-nated by what lay beyond the knownboundaries of the world In about 1420 he set upa center for exploration on the southwestern tipof Portugal ldquowhere endeth land and where

beginneth seardquo Known as Henry the Navigatorthe prince brought astronomers geographersand mathematicians to share their knowledgewith Portuguese sailors and shipbuilders

As Portuguese ships moved south along thecoast of West Africa they traded for gold andivory and established trading posts Because ofits abundance of gold the area came to beknown as the Gold Coast In the mid-1400s thePortuguese began buying slaves there as well

King John II of Portugal launched new efforts to realize the Portuguese dream of atrading empire in Asia If the Portuguese couldfind a sea route around Africa they could tradedirectly with India and China In the 1480s theking urged Portuguese sea captains to explorefarther south along the African coast

Bartholomeu DiasIn 1487 the king sent Bartholomeu Dias to

explore the southernmost part of Africa As Diasapproached the area he ran into a terrible stormthat carried him off course and around the south-ern tip of Africa Dias wrote that he had beenaround the ldquoCape of Stormsrdquo On learning ofDiasrsquos discovery King John II renamed thissouthern tip of land the Cape of Good Hopemdashhehoped that the passage around Africa might leadto a new route to India

Vasco da GamaThe first Portuguese voyages to India were

made years later In July 1497 after much prepa-ration Vasco da Gama set out from Portugalwith four ships Da Gama sailed down the coastof West Africa rounded the Cape of Good Hopeand visited cities along the coast of East AfricaHe engaged an Arab pilot who knew the IndianOcean well With the pilotrsquos help Da Gamasailed on to India He reached the port of Calicutin 1498 completing the long-awaited eastern searoute to Asia

Analyzing Why was Portugal interested in exploration

Columbus Crosses the AtlanticChristopher Columbus had a different plan

for reaching Asia He thought he could get thereby sailing west Born in Genoa Italy in 1451Columbus became a sailor for Portugal He hadtraveled as far north as the Arctic Circle and asfar south as the Gold Coast

In the 1400s most educated people believedthe world was round A more difficult matterwas determining its size Columbus was amongthose who based their estimates of the earthrsquossize on the work of Ptolemy an ancient Greekastronomer Columbus believed Asia was about2760 miles (4441 km) from Europemdasha voyageof about two months by ship Ptolemy howeverhad underestimated the size of the world

The Viking voyages to other lands were notwell known Europeans did not ldquodiscoverrdquo theAmericas until Columbus made his great voyage

Spain Backs ColumbusFor most of the 1400s Spanish monarchs

devoted their energy to driving the Muslims outof their country With the fall of the last Muslimkingdom in southern Spain in 1492 King Ferdi-nand and Queen Isabella of Spain could focuson other goals The Spanish had been watchingthe seafaring and trading successes of neighbor-

ing Portugal with envy They too wanted toshare in the riches of Asian trade Columbusneeded a sponsor to finance his ambitious proj-ect of a westward voyage to Asia He visitedmany European courts looking for supportAfter years of frustration he finally found asponsor in Spain

Queen Isabella a devout Christian wasfinally persuaded by her husbandrsquos minister offinance to support the expedition for two rea-sons First Columbus had promised to bringChristianity to any lands he found Second if hefound a way to Asia Spain would become verywealthy She promised Columbus a share of anyriches gained from lands he discovered on hisway to Asia

Columbusrsquos First VoyageOn August 3 1492 Columbus set out from

Palos Spain He had two small ships the Nintildeaand the Pinta and a larger one the Santa Mariacuteacarrying a total of about 90 sailors The smallfleet stopped at the Canary Islands for repairs and to stock up on supplies then sailed west-ward into the unknown

The ships had good winds but after a monthat sea the sailors began to worry Columbuswrote that he was

ldquohaving trouble with the crew I am toldthat if I persist in going onward the best courseof action will be to throw me into the seardquo

Columbus however was determined He toldthe men ldquoI made this voyage to go to the Indiesand [I] shall continue until I find them withGodrsquos helprdquo To convince the crew that they hadnot traveled too far from home Columbus alteredthe distances in his shiprsquos log (See page 959 of the

Primary Sources Library for another log entry by Columbus)

I come from the Indies with the armada

Your Highnesses gave me I found innumer-

Learning From History1 According to Christopher Columbus

who owned the land that heexplored in the Americas

2 How did the relationship betweenEuropeans and Native Americansseem to change as more and moreEuropeans came to America

Columbus explored the area forseveral months convinced he hadreached the East Indies the islands offthe coast of Asia Today the Carib-bean Islands are often referred to asthe West Indies Columbus called thelocal people Indians He noted thatthey regarded the Europeans withwonder and often touched them tofind out ldquoif they were flesh and boneslike themselvesrdquo

When Columbus returned toSpain in triumph Queen Isabellaand King Ferdinand received himwith great honor and agreed tofinance his future voyages Colum-bus had earned the title of Admiralof the Ocean Sea

Columbusrsquos Later VoyagesColumbus made three more voy-

ages from Spain in 1493 1498 and1502 He explored the Caribbeanislands of Hispaniola (present-dayHaiti and the Dominican Republic)Cuba and Jamaica and he sailedalong the coasts of Central Americaand northern South America Heclaimed the new lands for Spain andestablished settlements

Columbus originally thought thelands he had found were in AsiaLater explorations made it clear thatColumbus had not reached Asia atall He had found a part of the globeunknown to Europeans Asians andAfricans In the following years theSpanish explored most of theCaribbean region In time their voy-ages led to the establishment of theSpanish Empire in the Americas

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

Exploring North America

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Church officials tried to get Luther to take back his statements ldquoI cannot go againstmy consciencerdquo he replied ldquoHere I stand I cannot do otherwise God help merdquo

A Divided ChurchMartin Lutherrsquos actions led to incredible changes in Europe Before he voiced

his beliefs the countries of Europe had their differences but they were boundtogether by a common church For centuries Catholicism had been the mainreligion of western Europe In the 1500s however Lutherrsquos opposition to thepolicies of the Roman Catholic Church emerged

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

From Native Americans Euro-peans acquired foods such ascorn potatoes tomatoes beansand chocolate

Easy-to-grow food crops suchas the potato fed Europersquosgrowing population Somefoods such as corn also spread to Asia and Africa

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

Europe began to increase Merchants andbankers in the growing cities wanted to expandtheir businesses through foreign trade If theycould buy spices and silks from the East directlywithout going through the Arab and Italiancities they could earn huge profits They lookedfor alternatives to the overland route throughthe Middle East

The development of large nation-states inwestern Europe helped expand trade and inter-est in overseas exploration For many yearsEurope had been a patchwork of small statesPolitical power was divided among local lordsand few people traveled outside their region

ldquoLand hordquo The tools that early explorers used tosail the uncharted seas were much different fromthe instruments used today One early navigationtool was the astrolabe A sailor held the astrolabevertically located a star through its sights andmeasured the starrsquos elevation above thehorizon A shiprsquos approximate latitudecould be identified this way

Today navigation satellites do the work of anastrolabemdashand more The NAVSTAR GlobalPositioning System (GPS) satellites werelaunched by the United States in 1993 Fromspace the GPS can track the location of avehicle on the earth to within a few metersof its actual position

Astrolabe to Satellite

Satellites transmitscientific data

Sailors used the astro-labe for navigation

By the 1400s however a new type of central-ized state was emerging in western EuropeStrong monarchs came to power in Spain Por-tugal England and France They began toestablish national laws courts taxes andarmies to replace those of local lords Theseambitious kings and queens sought ways toincrease trade and make their countriesstronger and wealthier

Explaining What resulted from theemergence of large nation-states

Technologyrsquos ImpactAdvances in technologymdashthe use of scientific

knowledge for practical purposesmdashpaved theway for European voyages of exploration In the1450s the introduction of movable type and theprinting press made it much easier to printbooks Now more people could have access tobooks and to new information After its publica-tion in print form in 1477 many Europeans readMarco Polorsquos Travels

GeographyBetter Maps

Maps were a problem for early navigatorsMost maps were inaccurate because they weredrawn from the often-mistaken impressions oftraders and travelers Little by little cartogra-phers or mapmakers gradually improvedtheir skills

Using the reports of explorers and informa-tion from Arab geographers mapmakers mademore accurate land and sea maps These mapsshowed the direction of ocean currents Theyalso showed lines of latitude which measuredthe distance north and south of the Equator

Better instruments were developed for navi-gating the seas Sailors could determine theirlatitude while at sea with an astrolabe aninstrument that measured the position of starsEuropeans also acquired the magnetic compassa Chinese invention that began to be widelyused in Europe and the Middle East in the 1200sThe compass allowed sailors to determine theirdirection when they were far from land

Better ShipsAdvances in ship design allowed ship-

builders to build sailing vessels capable of longocean voyages The stern rudder and the trian-gular sail made it possible for ships to sail intothe wind Both of these new features came fromthe Arabs In the late 1400s the Portuguesedeveloped the three-masted caravel The caravelsailed faster than earlier ships and carried morecargo and food supplies It also could float inshallow water which allowed sailors to exploreinlets and to sail their ships up to the beach to

By the mid-1400s the Italian portsfaced increased competition for for-eign trade Powerful countries likePortugal and Spain began searchingfor sea routes to Asia launching a newera of exploration Portugal began itsexploration by sending ships downthe west coast of Africa which Euro-peans had never visited before

Explaining How didthe caravel affect overseas exploration in thefifteenth and sixteenth centuries

African KingdomsPowerful kingdoms flourished in

Africa south of the Sahara between400 and 1600 The region was richwith natural resources Africansmined gold copper and iron oreTrade with Islamic societies in NorthAfrica brought both wealth andIslamic ideas and customs to theWest African kingdoms

City-states on the east coast of Africa also ben-efited from trade There Arab traders from theMiddle East brought cotton silk and porcelainfrom India and China to exchange for ivory andmetals from the African interior

As the Portuguese sailed south along theAfrican coastline in the mid-1400s they set uptrading posts From these they traded for goldand for slaves

GhanamdashA Trading EmpireBetween 400 and 1100 a vast trading empire

called Ghana emerged in West Africa Welllocated between the salt mines of the Sahara andthe gold mines to the south Ghana prosperedfrom the taxes the leaders of the empire imposedon trade

Caravans with gold ivory and slaves fromGhana crossed the Sahara to North Africa Mus-lim traders from North Africa loaded caravans

More than 150 years after the death of Marco Polo a young Italian sea captainmdashChristopher Columbusmdashsat down to read Polorsquos Travels with interest Columbus readwhat Polo had to say about the islands of Cipangu or present-day Japan According toPolo Cipangu lay some 1500 miles (2414 km) off the eastern shore of Asia Becausethe earth is round Columbus reasoned a person sailing west from Europe shouldquickly reach Cipangu It could be much closer than anyone thought

Unfortunately Marco Polomdashand therefore Columbusmdashwas wrong

Seeking New Trade RoutesThe maps that Columbus and the first European explorers used did not

include America They showed three continentsmdashEurope Asia and Africamdashmerged together in a gigantic landmass or large area of land This landmasswas bordered by oceans Some explorers thought that the Western (Atlantic)and Eastern (Pacific) Oceans ran together to form what they called the OceanSea At the time no one realized that another huge landmass was missing fromthe maps They also did not realize that the oceans were as large as they are

Portugal took the lead in exploring theboundaries of the known world Because Portu-gal lacked a Mediterranean port it could not bepart of the profitable trade between Asia andEurope The countryrsquos ambitious rulers wantedto find a new route to China and India

The Portuguese also hoped to find a moredirect way to get West African gold The goldtraveled by caravan across the desert to NorthAfrica then by ship across the MediterraneanPortuguese traders needed a better route

Early Portuguese VoyagesPrince Henry of Portugal laid the ground-

work for a new era of exploration He was fasci-nated by what lay beyond the knownboundaries of the world In about 1420 he set upa center for exploration on the southwestern tipof Portugal ldquowhere endeth land and where

beginneth seardquo Known as Henry the Navigatorthe prince brought astronomers geographersand mathematicians to share their knowledgewith Portuguese sailors and shipbuilders

As Portuguese ships moved south along thecoast of West Africa they traded for gold andivory and established trading posts Because ofits abundance of gold the area came to beknown as the Gold Coast In the mid-1400s thePortuguese began buying slaves there as well

King John II of Portugal launched new efforts to realize the Portuguese dream of atrading empire in Asia If the Portuguese couldfind a sea route around Africa they could tradedirectly with India and China In the 1480s theking urged Portuguese sea captains to explorefarther south along the African coast

Bartholomeu DiasIn 1487 the king sent Bartholomeu Dias to

explore the southernmost part of Africa As Diasapproached the area he ran into a terrible stormthat carried him off course and around the south-ern tip of Africa Dias wrote that he had beenaround the ldquoCape of Stormsrdquo On learning ofDiasrsquos discovery King John II renamed thissouthern tip of land the Cape of Good Hopemdashhehoped that the passage around Africa might leadto a new route to India

Vasco da GamaThe first Portuguese voyages to India were

made years later In July 1497 after much prepa-ration Vasco da Gama set out from Portugalwith four ships Da Gama sailed down the coastof West Africa rounded the Cape of Good Hopeand visited cities along the coast of East AfricaHe engaged an Arab pilot who knew the IndianOcean well With the pilotrsquos help Da Gamasailed on to India He reached the port of Calicutin 1498 completing the long-awaited eastern searoute to Asia

Columbus Crosses the AtlanticChristopher Columbus had a different plan

for reaching Asia He thought he could get thereby sailing west Born in Genoa Italy in 1451Columbus became a sailor for Portugal He hadtraveled as far north as the Arctic Circle and asfar south as the Gold Coast

Spain Backs ColumbusFor most of the 1400s Spanish monarchs

devoted their energy to driving the Muslims outof their country With the fall of the last Muslimkingdom in southern Spain in 1492 King Ferdi-nand and Queen Isabella of Spain could focuson other goals The Spanish had been watchingthe seafaring and trading successes of neighbor-

ing Portugal with envy They too wanted toshare in the riches of Asian trade Columbusneeded a sponsor to finance his ambitious proj-ect of a westward voyage to Asia He visitedmany European courts looking for supportAfter years of frustration he finally found asponsor in Spain

Queen Isabella a devout Christian wasfinally persuaded by her husbandrsquos minister offinance to support the expedition for two rea-sons First Columbus had promised to bringChristianity to any lands he found Second if hefound a way to Asia Spain would become verywealthy She promised Columbus a share of anyriches gained from lands he discovered on hisway to Asia

Columbusrsquos First VoyageOn August 3 1492 Columbus set out from

Palos Spain He had two small ships the Nintildeaand the Pinta and a larger one the Santa Mariacuteacarrying a total of about 90 sailors The smallfleet stopped at the Canary Islands for repairs and to stock up on supplies then sailed west-ward into the unknown

The ships had good winds but after a monthat sea the sailors began to worry Columbuswrote that he was

ldquohaving trouble with the crew I am toldthat if I persist in going onward the best courseof action will be to throw me into the seardquo

Columbus however was determined He toldthe men ldquoI made this voyage to go to the Indiesand [I] shall continue until I find them withGodrsquos helprdquo To convince the crew that they hadnot traveled too far from home Columbus alteredthe distances in his shiprsquos log (See page 959 of the

Columbus explored the area forseveral months convinced he hadreached the East Indies the islands offthe coast of Asia Today the Carib-bean Islands are often referred to asthe West Indies Columbus called thelocal people Indians He noted thatthey regarded the Europeans withwonder and often touched them tofind out ldquoif they were flesh and boneslike themselvesrdquo

When Columbus returned toSpain in triumph Queen Isabellaand King Ferdinand received himwith great honor and agreed tofinance his future voyages Colum-bus had earned the title of Admiralof the Ocean Sea

Columbusrsquos Later VoyagesColumbus made three more voy-

ages from Spain in 1493 1498 and1502 He explored the Caribbeanislands of Hispaniola (present-dayHaiti and the Dominican Republic)Cuba and Jamaica and he sailedalong the coasts of Central Americaand northern South America Heclaimed the new lands for Spain andestablished settlements

Columbus originally thought thelands he had found were in AsiaLater explorations made it clear thatColumbus had not reached Asia atall He had found a part of the globeunknown to Europeans Asians andAfricans In the following years theSpanish explored most of theCaribbean region In time their voy-ages led to the establishment of theSpanish Empire in the Americas

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

From Native Americans Euro-peans acquired foods such ascorn potatoes tomatoes beansand chocolate

Easy-to-grow food crops suchas the potato fed Europersquosgrowing population Somefoods such as corn also spread to Asia and Africa

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines

ldquoLand hordquo The tools that early explorers used tosail the uncharted seas were much different fromthe instruments used today One early navigationtool was the astrolabe A sailor held the astrolabevertically located a star through its sights andmeasured the starrsquos elevation above thehorizon A shiprsquos approximate latitudecould be identified this way

Today navigation satellites do the work of anastrolabemdashand more The NAVSTAR GlobalPositioning System (GPS) satellites werelaunched by the United States in 1993 Fromspace the GPS can track the location of avehicle on the earth to within a few metersof its actual position

Astrolabe to Satellite

Satellites transmitscientific data

Sailors used the astro-labe for navigation

By the 1400s however a new type of central-ized state was emerging in western EuropeStrong monarchs came to power in Spain Por-tugal England and France They began toestablish national laws courts taxes andarmies to replace those of local lords Theseambitious kings and queens sought ways toincrease trade and make their countriesstronger and wealthier

Explaining What resulted from theemergence of large nation-states

Technologyrsquos ImpactAdvances in technologymdashthe use of scientific

knowledge for practical purposesmdashpaved theway for European voyages of exploration In the1450s the introduction of movable type and theprinting press made it much easier to printbooks Now more people could have access tobooks and to new information After its publica-tion in print form in 1477 many Europeans readMarco Polorsquos Travels

GeographyBetter Maps

Maps were a problem for early navigatorsMost maps were inaccurate because they weredrawn from the often-mistaken impressions oftraders and travelers Little by little cartogra-phers or mapmakers gradually improvedtheir skills

Using the reports of explorers and informa-tion from Arab geographers mapmakers mademore accurate land and sea maps These mapsshowed the direction of ocean currents Theyalso showed lines of latitude which measuredthe distance north and south of the Equator

Better instruments were developed for navi-gating the seas Sailors could determine theirlatitude while at sea with an astrolabe aninstrument that measured the position of starsEuropeans also acquired the magnetic compassa Chinese invention that began to be widelyused in Europe and the Middle East in the 1200sThe compass allowed sailors to determine theirdirection when they were far from land

Better ShipsAdvances in ship design allowed ship-

builders to build sailing vessels capable of longocean voyages The stern rudder and the trian-gular sail made it possible for ships to sail intothe wind Both of these new features came fromthe Arabs In the late 1400s the Portuguesedeveloped the three-masted caravel The caravelsailed faster than earlier ships and carried morecargo and food supplies It also could float inshallow water which allowed sailors to exploreinlets and to sail their ships up to the beach to

By the mid-1400s the Italian portsfaced increased competition for for-eign trade Powerful countries likePortugal and Spain began searchingfor sea routes to Asia launching a newera of exploration Portugal began itsexploration by sending ships downthe west coast of Africa which Euro-peans had never visited before

Explaining How didthe caravel affect overseas exploration in thefifteenth and sixteenth centuries

African KingdomsPowerful kingdoms flourished in

Africa south of the Sahara between400 and 1600 The region was richwith natural resources Africansmined gold copper and iron oreTrade with Islamic societies in NorthAfrica brought both wealth andIslamic ideas and customs to theWest African kingdoms

City-states on the east coast of Africa also ben-efited from trade There Arab traders from theMiddle East brought cotton silk and porcelainfrom India and China to exchange for ivory andmetals from the African interior

As the Portuguese sailed south along theAfrican coastline in the mid-1400s they set uptrading posts From these they traded for goldand for slaves

GhanamdashA Trading EmpireBetween 400 and 1100 a vast trading empire

called Ghana emerged in West Africa Welllocated between the salt mines of the Sahara andthe gold mines to the south Ghana prosperedfrom the taxes the leaders of the empire imposedon trade

Caravans with gold ivory and slaves fromGhana crossed the Sahara to North Africa Mus-lim traders from North Africa loaded caravans

More than 150 years after the death of Marco Polo a young Italian sea captainmdashChristopher Columbusmdashsat down to read Polorsquos Travels with interest Columbus readwhat Polo had to say about the islands of Cipangu or present-day Japan According toPolo Cipangu lay some 1500 miles (2414 km) off the eastern shore of Asia Becausethe earth is round Columbus reasoned a person sailing west from Europe shouldquickly reach Cipangu It could be much closer than anyone thought

Unfortunately Marco Polomdashand therefore Columbusmdashwas wrong

Seeking New Trade RoutesThe maps that Columbus and the first European explorers used did not

include America They showed three continentsmdashEurope Asia and Africamdashmerged together in a gigantic landmass or large area of land This landmasswas bordered by oceans Some explorers thought that the Western (Atlantic)and Eastern (Pacific) Oceans ran together to form what they called the OceanSea At the time no one realized that another huge landmass was missing fromthe maps They also did not realize that the oceans were as large as they are

Portugal took the lead in exploring theboundaries of the known world Because Portu-gal lacked a Mediterranean port it could not bepart of the profitable trade between Asia andEurope The countryrsquos ambitious rulers wantedto find a new route to China and India

The Portuguese also hoped to find a moredirect way to get West African gold The goldtraveled by caravan across the desert to NorthAfrica then by ship across the MediterraneanPortuguese traders needed a better route

Early Portuguese VoyagesPrince Henry of Portugal laid the ground-

work for a new era of exploration He was fasci-nated by what lay beyond the knownboundaries of the world In about 1420 he set upa center for exploration on the southwestern tipof Portugal ldquowhere endeth land and where

beginneth seardquo Known as Henry the Navigatorthe prince brought astronomers geographersand mathematicians to share their knowledgewith Portuguese sailors and shipbuilders

As Portuguese ships moved south along thecoast of West Africa they traded for gold andivory and established trading posts Because ofits abundance of gold the area came to beknown as the Gold Coast In the mid-1400s thePortuguese began buying slaves there as well

King John II of Portugal launched new efforts to realize the Portuguese dream of atrading empire in Asia If the Portuguese couldfind a sea route around Africa they could tradedirectly with India and China In the 1480s theking urged Portuguese sea captains to explorefarther south along the African coast

Bartholomeu DiasIn 1487 the king sent Bartholomeu Dias to

explore the southernmost part of Africa As Diasapproached the area he ran into a terrible stormthat carried him off course and around the south-ern tip of Africa Dias wrote that he had beenaround the ldquoCape of Stormsrdquo On learning ofDiasrsquos discovery King John II renamed thissouthern tip of land the Cape of Good Hopemdashhehoped that the passage around Africa might leadto a new route to India

Vasco da GamaThe first Portuguese voyages to India were

made years later In July 1497 after much prepa-ration Vasco da Gama set out from Portugalwith four ships Da Gama sailed down the coastof West Africa rounded the Cape of Good Hopeand visited cities along the coast of East AfricaHe engaged an Arab pilot who knew the IndianOcean well With the pilotrsquos help Da Gamasailed on to India He reached the port of Calicutin 1498 completing the long-awaited eastern searoute to Asia

Spain Backs ColumbusFor most of the 1400s Spanish monarchs

devoted their energy to driving the Muslims outof their country With the fall of the last Muslimkingdom in southern Spain in 1492 King Ferdi-nand and Queen Isabella of Spain could focuson other goals The Spanish had been watchingthe seafaring and trading successes of neighbor-

ing Portugal with envy They too wanted toshare in the riches of Asian trade Columbusneeded a sponsor to finance his ambitious proj-ect of a westward voyage to Asia He visitedmany European courts looking for supportAfter years of frustration he finally found asponsor in Spain

Queen Isabella a devout Christian wasfinally persuaded by her husbandrsquos minister offinance to support the expedition for two rea-sons First Columbus had promised to bringChristianity to any lands he found Second if hefound a way to Asia Spain would become verywealthy She promised Columbus a share of anyriches gained from lands he discovered on hisway to Asia

Columbusrsquos First VoyageOn August 3 1492 Columbus set out from

Palos Spain He had two small ships the Nintildeaand the Pinta and a larger one the Santa Mariacuteacarrying a total of about 90 sailors The smallfleet stopped at the Canary Islands for repairs and to stock up on supplies then sailed west-ward into the unknown

The ships had good winds but after a monthat sea the sailors began to worry Columbuswrote that he was

ldquohaving trouble with the crew I am toldthat if I persist in going onward the best courseof action will be to throw me into the seardquo

Columbus however was determined He toldthe men ldquoI made this voyage to go to the Indiesand [I] shall continue until I find them withGodrsquos helprdquo To convince the crew that they hadnot traveled too far from home Columbus alteredthe distances in his shiprsquos log (See page 959 of the

Columbus explored the area forseveral months convinced he hadreached the East Indies the islands offthe coast of Asia Today the Carib-bean Islands are often referred to asthe West Indies Columbus called thelocal people Indians He noted thatthey regarded the Europeans withwonder and often touched them tofind out ldquoif they were flesh and boneslike themselvesrdquo

When Columbus returned toSpain in triumph Queen Isabellaand King Ferdinand received himwith great honor and agreed tofinance his future voyages Colum-bus had earned the title of Admiralof the Ocean Sea

Columbusrsquos Later VoyagesColumbus made three more voy-

ages from Spain in 1493 1498 and1502 He explored the Caribbeanislands of Hispaniola (present-dayHaiti and the Dominican Republic)Cuba and Jamaica and he sailedalong the coasts of Central Americaand northern South America Heclaimed the new lands for Spain andestablished settlements

Columbus originally thought thelands he had found were in AsiaLater explorations made it clear thatColumbus had not reached Asia atall He had found a part of the globeunknown to Europeans Asians andAfricans In the following years theSpanish explored most of theCaribbean region In time their voy-ages led to the establishment of theSpanish Empire in the Americas

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

After encountering troubles in Florida theexpedition led by Paacutenfilo de Narvaacuteez sailedalong the coast toward Mexico However inNovember 1528 three of the five boats were lostin a storm The two boats that survived wentaground on an island near present-day TexasWithin a few months only a handful of the ship-wrecked explorers were still alive

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

A Divided ChurchMartin Lutherrsquos actions led to incredible changes in Europe Before he voiced

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

Reading a Time Line

Social StudiesSocial Studies

C02-10Ctimeline tk

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines

4 How long did Magellanrsquos voyage around theworld take

c 1480Magellan is bornin Sabrosa Portugal

African KingdomsPowerful kingdoms flourished in

Africa south of the Sahara between400 and 1600 The region was richwith natural resources Africansmined gold copper and iron oreTrade with Islamic societies in NorthAfrica brought both wealth andIslamic ideas and customs to theWest African kingdoms

City-states on the east coast of Africa also ben-efited from trade There Arab traders from theMiddle East brought cotton silk and porcelainfrom India and China to exchange for ivory andmetals from the African interior

As the Portuguese sailed south along theAfrican coastline in the mid-1400s they set uptrading posts From these they traded for goldand for slaves

GhanamdashA Trading EmpireBetween 400 and 1100 a vast trading empire

called Ghana emerged in West Africa Welllocated between the salt mines of the Sahara andthe gold mines to the south Ghana prosperedfrom the taxes the leaders of the empire imposedon trade

More than 150 years after the death of Marco Polo a young Italian sea captainmdashChristopher Columbusmdashsat down to read Polorsquos Travels with interest Columbus readwhat Polo had to say about the islands of Cipangu or present-day Japan According toPolo Cipangu lay some 1500 miles (2414 km) off the eastern shore of Asia Becausethe earth is round Columbus reasoned a person sailing west from Europe shouldquickly reach Cipangu It could be much closer than anyone thought

Unfortunately Marco Polomdashand therefore Columbusmdashwas wrong

Seeking New Trade RoutesThe maps that Columbus and the first European explorers used did not

include America They showed three continentsmdashEurope Asia and Africamdashmerged together in a gigantic landmass or large area of land This landmasswas bordered by oceans Some explorers thought that the Western (Atlantic)and Eastern (Pacific) Oceans ran together to form what they called the OceanSea At the time no one realized that another huge landmass was missing fromthe maps They also did not realize that the oceans were as large as they are

Portugal took the lead in exploring theboundaries of the known world Because Portu-gal lacked a Mediterranean port it could not bepart of the profitable trade between Asia andEurope The countryrsquos ambitious rulers wantedto find a new route to China and India

The Portuguese also hoped to find a moredirect way to get West African gold The goldtraveled by caravan across the desert to NorthAfrica then by ship across the MediterraneanPortuguese traders needed a better route

Early Portuguese VoyagesPrince Henry of Portugal laid the ground-

work for a new era of exploration He was fasci-nated by what lay beyond the knownboundaries of the world In about 1420 he set upa center for exploration on the southwestern tipof Portugal ldquowhere endeth land and where

beginneth seardquo Known as Henry the Navigatorthe prince brought astronomers geographersand mathematicians to share their knowledgewith Portuguese sailors and shipbuilders

As Portuguese ships moved south along thecoast of West Africa they traded for gold andivory and established trading posts Because ofits abundance of gold the area came to beknown as the Gold Coast In the mid-1400s thePortuguese began buying slaves there as well

King John II of Portugal launched new efforts to realize the Portuguese dream of atrading empire in Asia If the Portuguese couldfind a sea route around Africa they could tradedirectly with India and China In the 1480s theking urged Portuguese sea captains to explorefarther south along the African coast

Bartholomeu DiasIn 1487 the king sent Bartholomeu Dias to

explore the southernmost part of Africa As Diasapproached the area he ran into a terrible stormthat carried him off course and around the south-ern tip of Africa Dias wrote that he had beenaround the ldquoCape of Stormsrdquo On learning ofDiasrsquos discovery King John II renamed thissouthern tip of land the Cape of Good Hopemdashhehoped that the passage around Africa might leadto a new route to India

Vasco da GamaThe first Portuguese voyages to India were

made years later In July 1497 after much prepa-ration Vasco da Gama set out from Portugalwith four ships Da Gama sailed down the coastof West Africa rounded the Cape of Good Hopeand visited cities along the coast of East AfricaHe engaged an Arab pilot who knew the IndianOcean well With the pilotrsquos help Da Gamasailed on to India He reached the port of Calicutin 1498 completing the long-awaited eastern searoute to Asia

Columbus Crosses the AtlanticChristopher Columbus had a different plan

for reaching Asia He thought he could get thereby sailing west Born in Genoa Italy in 1451Columbus became a sailor for Portugal He hadtraveled as far north as the Arctic Circle and asfar south as the Gold Coast

Spain Backs ColumbusFor most of the 1400s Spanish monarchs

devoted their energy to driving the Muslims outof their country With the fall of the last Muslimkingdom in southern Spain in 1492 King Ferdi-nand and Queen Isabella of Spain could focuson other goals The Spanish had been watchingthe seafaring and trading successes of neighbor-

ing Portugal with envy They too wanted toshare in the riches of Asian trade Columbusneeded a sponsor to finance his ambitious proj-ect of a westward voyage to Asia He visitedmany European courts looking for supportAfter years of frustration he finally found asponsor in Spain

Queen Isabella a devout Christian wasfinally persuaded by her husbandrsquos minister offinance to support the expedition for two rea-sons First Columbus had promised to bringChristianity to any lands he found Second if hefound a way to Asia Spain would become verywealthy She promised Columbus a share of anyriches gained from lands he discovered on hisway to Asia

Columbusrsquos First VoyageOn August 3 1492 Columbus set out from

Palos Spain He had two small ships the Nintildeaand the Pinta and a larger one the Santa Mariacuteacarrying a total of about 90 sailors The smallfleet stopped at the Canary Islands for repairs and to stock up on supplies then sailed west-ward into the unknown

The ships had good winds but after a monthat sea the sailors began to worry Columbuswrote that he was

ldquohaving trouble with the crew I am toldthat if I persist in going onward the best courseof action will be to throw me into the seardquo

Columbus however was determined He toldthe men ldquoI made this voyage to go to the Indiesand [I] shall continue until I find them withGodrsquos helprdquo To convince the crew that they hadnot traveled too far from home Columbus alteredthe distances in his shiprsquos log (See page 959 of the

Letter from Christopher Columbus to the

King and Queen of Spain March 4 1493

I come from the Indies with the armada

Your Highnesses gave me I found innumer-

able [many] people and very many islands of

which I took possession in Your Highnessesrsquo

name by royal crier and with Your Highnessesrsquo

royal banner unfurled and it was not

contradicted

And I continued to enter very many

harbors in each of which I placed a very

large cross in the most appropriate spot as

I had done in all the other [harbors] of the

other islands

Speech by Chief Red Jacket leader of the SenecaNation to a white missionary 1805There was a time when our forefathers owned this great

island Their seats extended from the rising to the setting ofthe sun The Great Spirit had made it for the use of IndiansHe had created buffalo the deer and other animals forfood He had made the bear and beaver and their skinsserved us for clothing The white people brother had now found our country

Tidings were carried back and more came amongst us Yetwe did not fear them We took them to be friends Brother our seats were once large and yours were verysmall You have now become a great people and we havescarcely a place left tospread our blanketsYou have got our coun-try but you are not

Learning From History1 According to Christopher Columbus

who owned the land that heexplored in the Americas

2 How did the relationship betweenEuropeans and Native Americansseem to change as more and moreEuropeans came to America

Columbus explored the area forseveral months convinced he hadreached the East Indies the islands offthe coast of Asia Today the Carib-bean Islands are often referred to asthe West Indies Columbus called thelocal people Indians He noted thatthey regarded the Europeans withwonder and often touched them tofind out ldquoif they were flesh and boneslike themselvesrdquo

When Columbus returned toSpain in triumph Queen Isabellaand King Ferdinand received himwith great honor and agreed tofinance his future voyages Colum-bus had earned the title of Admiralof the Ocean Sea

Columbusrsquos Later VoyagesColumbus made three more voy-

ages from Spain in 1493 1498 and1502 He explored the Caribbeanislands of Hispaniola (present-dayHaiti and the Dominican Republic)Cuba and Jamaica and he sailedalong the coasts of Central Americaand northern South America Heclaimed the new lands for Spain andestablished settlements

Columbus originally thought thelands he had found were in AsiaLater explorations made it clear thatColumbus had not reached Asia atall He had found a part of the globeunknown to Europeans Asians andAfricans In the following years theSpanish explored most of theCaribbean region In time their voy-ages led to the establishment of theSpanish Empire in the Americas

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

After encountering troubles in Florida theexpedition led by Paacutenfilo de Narvaacuteez sailedalong the coast toward Mexico However inNovember 1528 three of the five boats were lostin a storm The two boats that survived wentaground on an island near present-day TexasWithin a few months only a handful of the ship-wrecked explorers were still alive

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

French Open Trading PostsFrance had shown little interest in building an

empire in the Americas Its rulers were preoccu-pied by political and religious conflicts at homeThe French viewed North America as an oppor-tunity for profits from fishing and fur tradingrather than as a place to settle

Reading a Time Line

Social StudiesSocial Studies

C02-10Ctimeline tk

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines

4 How long did Magellanrsquos voyage around theworld take

c 1480Magellan is bornin Sabrosa Portugal

More than 150 years after the death of Marco Polo a young Italian sea captainmdashChristopher Columbusmdashsat down to read Polorsquos Travels with interest Columbus readwhat Polo had to say about the islands of Cipangu or present-day Japan According toPolo Cipangu lay some 1500 miles (2414 km) off the eastern shore of Asia Becausethe earth is round Columbus reasoned a person sailing west from Europe shouldquickly reach Cipangu It could be much closer than anyone thought

Unfortunately Marco Polomdashand therefore Columbusmdashwas wrong

Seeking New Trade RoutesThe maps that Columbus and the first European explorers used did not

include America They showed three continentsmdashEurope Asia and Africamdashmerged together in a gigantic landmass or large area of land This landmasswas bordered by oceans Some explorers thought that the Western (Atlantic)and Eastern (Pacific) Oceans ran together to form what they called the OceanSea At the time no one realized that another huge landmass was missing fromthe maps They also did not realize that the oceans were as large as they are

Portugal took the lead in exploring theboundaries of the known world Because Portu-gal lacked a Mediterranean port it could not bepart of the profitable trade between Asia andEurope The countryrsquos ambitious rulers wantedto find a new route to China and India

The Portuguese also hoped to find a moredirect way to get West African gold The goldtraveled by caravan across the desert to NorthAfrica then by ship across the MediterraneanPortuguese traders needed a better route

Early Portuguese VoyagesPrince Henry of Portugal laid the ground-

work for a new era of exploration He was fasci-nated by what lay beyond the knownboundaries of the world In about 1420 he set upa center for exploration on the southwestern tipof Portugal ldquowhere endeth land and where

beginneth seardquo Known as Henry the Navigatorthe prince brought astronomers geographersand mathematicians to share their knowledgewith Portuguese sailors and shipbuilders

As Portuguese ships moved south along thecoast of West Africa they traded for gold andivory and established trading posts Because ofits abundance of gold the area came to beknown as the Gold Coast In the mid-1400s thePortuguese began buying slaves there as well

King John II of Portugal launched new efforts to realize the Portuguese dream of atrading empire in Asia If the Portuguese couldfind a sea route around Africa they could tradedirectly with India and China In the 1480s theking urged Portuguese sea captains to explorefarther south along the African coast

Bartholomeu DiasIn 1487 the king sent Bartholomeu Dias to

explore the southernmost part of Africa As Diasapproached the area he ran into a terrible stormthat carried him off course and around the south-ern tip of Africa Dias wrote that he had beenaround the ldquoCape of Stormsrdquo On learning ofDiasrsquos discovery King John II renamed thissouthern tip of land the Cape of Good Hopemdashhehoped that the passage around Africa might leadto a new route to India

Vasco da GamaThe first Portuguese voyages to India were

made years later In July 1497 after much prepa-ration Vasco da Gama set out from Portugalwith four ships Da Gama sailed down the coastof West Africa rounded the Cape of Good Hopeand visited cities along the coast of East AfricaHe engaged an Arab pilot who knew the IndianOcean well With the pilotrsquos help Da Gamasailed on to India He reached the port of Calicutin 1498 completing the long-awaited eastern searoute to Asia

Columbus Crosses the AtlanticChristopher Columbus had a different plan

for reaching Asia He thought he could get thereby sailing west Born in Genoa Italy in 1451Columbus became a sailor for Portugal He hadtraveled as far north as the Arctic Circle and asfar south as the Gold Coast

Spain Backs ColumbusFor most of the 1400s Spanish monarchs

devoted their energy to driving the Muslims outof their country With the fall of the last Muslimkingdom in southern Spain in 1492 King Ferdi-nand and Queen Isabella of Spain could focuson other goals The Spanish had been watchingthe seafaring and trading successes of neighbor-

ing Portugal with envy They too wanted toshare in the riches of Asian trade Columbusneeded a sponsor to finance his ambitious proj-ect of a westward voyage to Asia He visitedmany European courts looking for supportAfter years of frustration he finally found asponsor in Spain

Queen Isabella a devout Christian wasfinally persuaded by her husbandrsquos minister offinance to support the expedition for two rea-sons First Columbus had promised to bringChristianity to any lands he found Second if hefound a way to Asia Spain would become verywealthy She promised Columbus a share of anyriches gained from lands he discovered on hisway to Asia

Columbusrsquos First VoyageOn August 3 1492 Columbus set out from

Palos Spain He had two small ships the Nintildeaand the Pinta and a larger one the Santa Mariacuteacarrying a total of about 90 sailors The smallfleet stopped at the Canary Islands for repairs and to stock up on supplies then sailed west-ward into the unknown

The ships had good winds but after a monthat sea the sailors began to worry Columbuswrote that he was

ldquohaving trouble with the crew I am toldthat if I persist in going onward the best courseof action will be to throw me into the seardquo

Columbus however was determined He toldthe men ldquoI made this voyage to go to the Indiesand [I] shall continue until I find them withGodrsquos helprdquo To convince the crew that they hadnot traveled too far from home Columbus alteredthe distances in his shiprsquos log (See page 959 of the

Learning From History1 According to Christopher Columbus

who owned the land that heexplored in the Americas

2 How did the relationship betweenEuropeans and Native Americansseem to change as more and moreEuropeans came to America

Columbus explored the area forseveral months convinced he hadreached the East Indies the islands offthe coast of Asia Today the Carib-bean Islands are often referred to asthe West Indies Columbus called thelocal people Indians He noted thatthey regarded the Europeans withwonder and often touched them tofind out ldquoif they were flesh and boneslike themselvesrdquo

When Columbus returned toSpain in triumph Queen Isabellaand King Ferdinand received himwith great honor and agreed tofinance his future voyages Colum-bus had earned the title of Admiralof the Ocean Sea

Columbusrsquos Later VoyagesColumbus made three more voy-

ages from Spain in 1493 1498 and1502 He explored the Caribbeanislands of Hispaniola (present-dayHaiti and the Dominican Republic)Cuba and Jamaica and he sailedalong the coasts of Central Americaand northern South America Heclaimed the new lands for Spain andestablished settlements

Columbus originally thought thelands he had found were in AsiaLater explorations made it clear thatColumbus had not reached Asia atall He had found a part of the globeunknown to Europeans Asians andAfricans In the following years theSpanish explored most of theCaribbean region In time their voy-ages led to the establishment of theSpanish Empire in the Americas

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

After encountering troubles in Florida theexpedition led by Paacutenfilo de Narvaacuteez sailedalong the coast toward Mexico However inNovember 1528 three of the five boats were lostin a storm The two boats that survived wentaground on an island near present-day TexasWithin a few months only a handful of the ship-wrecked explorers were still alive

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Church officials tried to get Luther to take back his statements ldquoI cannot go againstmy consciencerdquo he replied ldquoHere I stand I cannot do otherwise God help merdquo

A Divided ChurchMartin Lutherrsquos actions led to incredible changes in Europe Before he voiced

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

Europeans brought wheat grapesand livestock to the AmericasEuropeans also introduced diseasesto which the Native Americanswere not immune

From Native Americans Euro-peans acquired foods such ascorn potatoes tomatoes beansand chocolate

Easy-to-grow food crops suchas the potato fed Europersquosgrowing population Somefoods such as corn also spread to Asia and Africa

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

Reading a Time Line

Social StudiesSocial Studies

C02-10Ctimeline tk

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines

4 How long did Magellanrsquos voyage around theworld take

c 1480Magellan is bornin Sabrosa Portugal

More than 150 years after the death of Marco Polo a young Italian sea captainmdashChristopher Columbusmdashsat down to read Polorsquos Travels with interest Columbus readwhat Polo had to say about the islands of Cipangu or present-day Japan According toPolo Cipangu lay some 1500 miles (2414 km) off the eastern shore of Asia Becausethe earth is round Columbus reasoned a person sailing west from Europe shouldquickly reach Cipangu It could be much closer than anyone thought

Seeking New Trade RoutesThe maps that Columbus and the first European explorers used did not

include America They showed three continentsmdashEurope Asia and Africamdashmerged together in a gigantic landmass or large area of land This landmasswas bordered by oceans Some explorers thought that the Western (Atlantic)and Eastern (Pacific) Oceans ran together to form what they called the OceanSea At the time no one realized that another huge landmass was missing fromthe maps They also did not realize that the oceans were as large as they are

Portugal took the lead in exploring theboundaries of the known world Because Portu-gal lacked a Mediterranean port it could not bepart of the profitable trade between Asia andEurope The countryrsquos ambitious rulers wantedto find a new route to China and India

The Portuguese also hoped to find a moredirect way to get West African gold The goldtraveled by caravan across the desert to NorthAfrica then by ship across the MediterraneanPortuguese traders needed a better route

Early Portuguese VoyagesPrince Henry of Portugal laid the ground-

work for a new era of exploration He was fasci-nated by what lay beyond the knownboundaries of the world In about 1420 he set upa center for exploration on the southwestern tipof Portugal ldquowhere endeth land and where

beginneth seardquo Known as Henry the Navigatorthe prince brought astronomers geographersand mathematicians to share their knowledgewith Portuguese sailors and shipbuilders

As Portuguese ships moved south along thecoast of West Africa they traded for gold andivory and established trading posts Because ofits abundance of gold the area came to beknown as the Gold Coast In the mid-1400s thePortuguese began buying slaves there as well

King John II of Portugal launched new efforts to realize the Portuguese dream of atrading empire in Asia If the Portuguese couldfind a sea route around Africa they could tradedirectly with India and China In the 1480s theking urged Portuguese sea captains to explorefarther south along the African coast

Bartholomeu DiasIn 1487 the king sent Bartholomeu Dias to

explore the southernmost part of Africa As Diasapproached the area he ran into a terrible stormthat carried him off course and around the south-ern tip of Africa Dias wrote that he had beenaround the ldquoCape of Stormsrdquo On learning ofDiasrsquos discovery King John II renamed thissouthern tip of land the Cape of Good Hopemdashhehoped that the passage around Africa might leadto a new route to India

Vasco da GamaThe first Portuguese voyages to India were

made years later In July 1497 after much prepa-ration Vasco da Gama set out from Portugalwith four ships Da Gama sailed down the coastof West Africa rounded the Cape of Good Hopeand visited cities along the coast of East AfricaHe engaged an Arab pilot who knew the IndianOcean well With the pilotrsquos help Da Gamasailed on to India He reached the port of Calicutin 1498 completing the long-awaited eastern searoute to Asia

Portugal a stake in the Americas MeanwhilePortuguese fleets began to make annual voyagesto India returning with cargoes that made Lis-bon the marketplace of Europe

Analyzing Why was Portugal interested in exploration

Columbus Crosses the AtlanticChristopher Columbus had a different plan

for reaching Asia He thought he could get thereby sailing west Born in Genoa Italy in 1451Columbus became a sailor for Portugal He hadtraveled as far north as the Arctic Circle and asfar south as the Gold Coast

In the 1400s most educated people believedthe world was round A more difficult matterwas determining its size Columbus was amongthose who based their estimates of the earthrsquossize on the work of Ptolemy an ancient Greekastronomer Columbus believed Asia was about2760 miles (4441 km) from Europemdasha voyageof about two months by ship Ptolemy howeverhad underestimated the size of the world

The Viking VoyagesSeveral centuries before Columbus northern

Europeans called Vikings had sailed west andreached North America In the 800s and 900sViking ships visited Iceland and Greenland andestablished settlements According to Norse

The Viking voyages to other lands were notwell known Europeans did not ldquodiscoverrdquo theAmericas until Columbus made his great voyage

Spain Backs ColumbusFor most of the 1400s Spanish monarchs

devoted their energy to driving the Muslims outof their country With the fall of the last Muslimkingdom in southern Spain in 1492 King Ferdi-nand and Queen Isabella of Spain could focuson other goals The Spanish had been watchingthe seafaring and trading successes of neighbor-

ing Portugal with envy They too wanted toshare in the riches of Asian trade Columbusneeded a sponsor to finance his ambitious proj-ect of a westward voyage to Asia He visitedmany European courts looking for supportAfter years of frustration he finally found asponsor in Spain

Queen Isabella a devout Christian wasfinally persuaded by her husbandrsquos minister offinance to support the expedition for two rea-sons First Columbus had promised to bringChristianity to any lands he found Second if hefound a way to Asia Spain would become verywealthy She promised Columbus a share of anyriches gained from lands he discovered on hisway to Asia

Columbusrsquos First VoyageOn August 3 1492 Columbus set out from

Palos Spain He had two small ships the Nintildeaand the Pinta and a larger one the Santa Mariacuteacarrying a total of about 90 sailors The smallfleet stopped at the Canary Islands for repairs and to stock up on supplies then sailed west-ward into the unknown

The ships had good winds but after a monthat sea the sailors began to worry Columbuswrote that he was

ldquohaving trouble with the crew I am toldthat if I persist in going onward the best courseof action will be to throw me into the seardquo

Columbus however was determined He toldthe men ldquoI made this voyage to go to the Indiesand [I] shall continue until I find them withGodrsquos helprdquo To convince the crew that they hadnot traveled too far from home Columbus alteredthe distances in his shiprsquos log (See page 959 of the

Primary Sources Library for another log entry by Columbus)

Letter from Christopher Columbus to the

King and Queen of Spain March 4 1493

I come from the Indies with the armada

Your Highnesses gave me I found innumer-

able [many] people and very many islands of

which I took possession in Your Highnessesrsquo

And I continued to enter very many

harbors in each of which I placed a very

large cross in the most appropriate spot as

I had done in all the other [harbors] of the

other islands

Speech by Chief Red Jacket leader of the SenecaNation to a white missionary 1805There was a time when our forefathers owned this great

island Their seats extended from the rising to the setting ofthe sun The Great Spirit had made it for the use of IndiansHe had created buffalo the deer and other animals forfood He had made the bear and beaver and their skinsserved us for clothing The white people brother had now found our country

Tidings were carried back and more came amongst us Yetwe did not fear them We took them to be friends Brother our seats were once large and yours were verysmall You have now become a great people and we havescarcely a place left tospread our blanketsYou have got our coun-try but you are not

Learning From History1 According to Christopher Columbus

who owned the land that heexplored in the Americas

2 How did the relationship betweenEuropeans and Native Americansseem to change as more and moreEuropeans came to America

Columbus explored the area forseveral months convinced he hadreached the East Indies the islands offthe coast of Asia Today the Carib-bean Islands are often referred to asthe West Indies Columbus called thelocal people Indians He noted thatthey regarded the Europeans withwonder and often touched them tofind out ldquoif they were flesh and boneslike themselvesrdquo

When Columbus returned toSpain in triumph Queen Isabellaand King Ferdinand received himwith great honor and agreed tofinance his future voyages Colum-bus had earned the title of Admiralof the Ocean Sea

Columbusrsquos Later VoyagesColumbus made three more voy-

ages from Spain in 1493 1498 and1502 He explored the Caribbeanislands of Hispaniola (present-dayHaiti and the Dominican Republic)Cuba and Jamaica and he sailedalong the coasts of Central Americaand northern South America Heclaimed the new lands for Spain andestablished settlements

Columbus originally thought thelands he had found were in AsiaLater explorations made it clear thatColumbus had not reached Asia atall He had found a part of the globeunknown to Europeans Asians andAfricans In the following years theSpanish explored most of theCaribbean region In time their voy-ages led to the establishment of theSpanish Empire in the Americas

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Church officials tried to get Luther to take back his statements ldquoI cannot go againstmy consciencerdquo he replied ldquoHere I stand I cannot do otherwise God help merdquo

A Divided ChurchMartin Lutherrsquos actions led to incredible changes in Europe Before he voiced

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

Reading a Time Line

Social StudiesSocial Studies

C02-10Ctimeline tk

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines

4 How long did Magellanrsquos voyage around theworld take

c 1480Magellan is bornin Sabrosa Portugal

Page 9: Exploring the Americasyourhistorysite.com/The American Journey/chap02.pdfthroughout Europe Main Idea New knowledge and ideas led Euro-peans to explore overseas. Key Terms classical,

Portugal took the lead in exploring theboundaries of the known world Because Portu-gal lacked a Mediterranean port it could not bepart of the profitable trade between Asia andEurope The countryrsquos ambitious rulers wantedto find a new route to China and India

The Portuguese also hoped to find a moredirect way to get West African gold The goldtraveled by caravan across the desert to NorthAfrica then by ship across the MediterraneanPortuguese traders needed a better route

Early Portuguese VoyagesPrince Henry of Portugal laid the ground-

work for a new era of exploration He was fasci-nated by what lay beyond the knownboundaries of the world In about 1420 he set upa center for exploration on the southwestern tipof Portugal ldquowhere endeth land and where

beginneth seardquo Known as Henry the Navigatorthe prince brought astronomers geographersand mathematicians to share their knowledgewith Portuguese sailors and shipbuilders

As Portuguese ships moved south along thecoast of West Africa they traded for gold andivory and established trading posts Because ofits abundance of gold the area came to beknown as the Gold Coast In the mid-1400s thePortuguese began buying slaves there as well

King John II of Portugal launched new efforts to realize the Portuguese dream of atrading empire in Asia If the Portuguese couldfind a sea route around Africa they could tradedirectly with India and China In the 1480s theking urged Portuguese sea captains to explorefarther south along the African coast

Bartholomeu DiasIn 1487 the king sent Bartholomeu Dias to

explore the southernmost part of Africa As Diasapproached the area he ran into a terrible stormthat carried him off course and around the south-ern tip of Africa Dias wrote that he had beenaround the ldquoCape of Stormsrdquo On learning ofDiasrsquos discovery King John II renamed thissouthern tip of land the Cape of Good Hopemdashhehoped that the passage around Africa might leadto a new route to India

Vasco da GamaThe first Portuguese voyages to India were

made years later In July 1497 after much prepa-ration Vasco da Gama set out from Portugalwith four ships Da Gama sailed down the coastof West Africa rounded the Cape of Good Hopeand visited cities along the coast of East AfricaHe engaged an Arab pilot who knew the IndianOcean well With the pilotrsquos help Da Gamasailed on to India He reached the port of Calicutin 1498 completing the long-awaited eastern searoute to Asia

Portugal a stake in the Americas MeanwhilePortuguese fleets began to make annual voyagesto India returning with cargoes that made Lis-bon the marketplace of Europe

Analyzing Why was Portugal interested in exploration

Columbus Crosses the AtlanticChristopher Columbus had a different plan

for reaching Asia He thought he could get thereby sailing west Born in Genoa Italy in 1451Columbus became a sailor for Portugal He hadtraveled as far north as the Arctic Circle and asfar south as the Gold Coast

In the 1400s most educated people believedthe world was round A more difficult matterwas determining its size Columbus was amongthose who based their estimates of the earthrsquossize on the work of Ptolemy an ancient Greekastronomer Columbus believed Asia was about2760 miles (4441 km) from Europemdasha voyageof about two months by ship Ptolemy howeverhad underestimated the size of the world

The Viking VoyagesSeveral centuries before Columbus northern

Europeans called Vikings had sailed west andreached North America In the 800s and 900sViking ships visited Iceland and Greenland andestablished settlements According to Norse

The Viking voyages to other lands were notwell known Europeans did not ldquodiscoverrdquo theAmericas until Columbus made his great voyage

Spain Backs ColumbusFor most of the 1400s Spanish monarchs

devoted their energy to driving the Muslims outof their country With the fall of the last Muslimkingdom in southern Spain in 1492 King Ferdi-nand and Queen Isabella of Spain could focuson other goals The Spanish had been watchingthe seafaring and trading successes of neighbor-

ing Portugal with envy They too wanted toshare in the riches of Asian trade Columbusneeded a sponsor to finance his ambitious proj-ect of a westward voyage to Asia He visitedmany European courts looking for supportAfter years of frustration he finally found asponsor in Spain

Queen Isabella a devout Christian wasfinally persuaded by her husbandrsquos minister offinance to support the expedition for two rea-sons First Columbus had promised to bringChristianity to any lands he found Second if hefound a way to Asia Spain would become verywealthy She promised Columbus a share of anyriches gained from lands he discovered on hisway to Asia

Columbusrsquos First VoyageOn August 3 1492 Columbus set out from

Palos Spain He had two small ships the Nintildeaand the Pinta and a larger one the Santa Mariacuteacarrying a total of about 90 sailors The smallfleet stopped at the Canary Islands for repairs and to stock up on supplies then sailed west-ward into the unknown

The ships had good winds but after a monthat sea the sailors began to worry Columbuswrote that he was

ldquohaving trouble with the crew I am toldthat if I persist in going onward the best courseof action will be to throw me into the seardquo

Columbus however was determined He toldthe men ldquoI made this voyage to go to the Indiesand [I] shall continue until I find them withGodrsquos helprdquo To convince the crew that they hadnot traveled too far from home Columbus alteredthe distances in his shiprsquos log (See page 959 of the

Primary Sources Library for another log entry by Columbus)

King and Queen of Spain March 4 1493

I come from the Indies with the armada

Your Highnesses gave me I found innumer-

able [many] people and very many islands of

which I took possession in Your Highnessesrsquo

And I continued to enter very many

harbors in each of which I placed a very

large cross in the most appropriate spot as

I had done in all the other [harbors] of the

other islands

Speech by Chief Red Jacket leader of the SenecaNation to a white missionary 1805There was a time when our forefathers owned this great

island Their seats extended from the rising to the setting ofthe sun The Great Spirit had made it for the use of IndiansHe had created buffalo the deer and other animals forfood He had made the bear and beaver and their skinsserved us for clothing The white people brother had now found our country

Tidings were carried back and more came amongst us Yetwe did not fear them We took them to be friends Brother our seats were once large and yours were verysmall You have now become a great people and we havescarcely a place left tospread our blanketsYou have got our coun-try but you are not

Learning From History1 According to Christopher Columbus

who owned the land that heexplored in the Americas

2 How did the relationship betweenEuropeans and Native Americansseem to change as more and moreEuropeans came to America

Columbus explored the area forseveral months convinced he hadreached the East Indies the islands offthe coast of Asia Today the Carib-bean Islands are often referred to asthe West Indies Columbus called thelocal people Indians He noted thatthey regarded the Europeans withwonder and often touched them tofind out ldquoif they were flesh and boneslike themselvesrdquo

When Columbus returned toSpain in triumph Queen Isabellaand King Ferdinand received himwith great honor and agreed tofinance his future voyages Colum-bus had earned the title of Admiralof the Ocean Sea

Columbusrsquos Later VoyagesColumbus made three more voy-

ages from Spain in 1493 1498 and1502 He explored the Caribbeanislands of Hispaniola (present-dayHaiti and the Dominican Republic)Cuba and Jamaica and he sailedalong the coasts of Central Americaand northern South America Heclaimed the new lands for Spain andestablished settlements

Columbus originally thought thelands he had found were in AsiaLater explorations made it clear thatColumbus had not reached Asia atall He had found a part of the globeunknown to Europeans Asians andAfricans In the following years theSpanish explored most of theCaribbean region In time their voy-ages led to the establishment of theSpanish Empire in the Americas

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

Portugal a stake in the Americas MeanwhilePortuguese fleets began to make annual voyagesto India returning with cargoes that made Lis-bon the marketplace of Europe

Analyzing Why was Portugal interested in exploration

Columbus Crosses the AtlanticChristopher Columbus had a different plan

for reaching Asia He thought he could get thereby sailing west Born in Genoa Italy in 1451Columbus became a sailor for Portugal He hadtraveled as far north as the Arctic Circle and asfar south as the Gold Coast

In the 1400s most educated people believedthe world was round A more difficult matterwas determining its size Columbus was amongthose who based their estimates of the earthrsquossize on the work of Ptolemy an ancient Greekastronomer Columbus believed Asia was about2760 miles (4441 km) from Europemdasha voyageof about two months by ship Ptolemy howeverhad underestimated the size of the world

The Viking VoyagesSeveral centuries before Columbus northern

Europeans called Vikings had sailed west andreached North America In the 800s and 900sViking ships visited Iceland and Greenland andestablished settlements According to Norse

The Viking voyages to other lands were notwell known Europeans did not ldquodiscoverrdquo theAmericas until Columbus made his great voyage

Spain Backs ColumbusFor most of the 1400s Spanish monarchs

devoted their energy to driving the Muslims outof their country With the fall of the last Muslimkingdom in southern Spain in 1492 King Ferdi-nand and Queen Isabella of Spain could focuson other goals The Spanish had been watchingthe seafaring and trading successes of neighbor-

ing Portugal with envy They too wanted toshare in the riches of Asian trade Columbusneeded a sponsor to finance his ambitious proj-ect of a westward voyage to Asia He visitedmany European courts looking for supportAfter years of frustration he finally found asponsor in Spain

Queen Isabella a devout Christian wasfinally persuaded by her husbandrsquos minister offinance to support the expedition for two rea-sons First Columbus had promised to bringChristianity to any lands he found Second if hefound a way to Asia Spain would become verywealthy She promised Columbus a share of anyriches gained from lands he discovered on hisway to Asia

Columbusrsquos First VoyageOn August 3 1492 Columbus set out from

Palos Spain He had two small ships the Nintildeaand the Pinta and a larger one the Santa Mariacuteacarrying a total of about 90 sailors The smallfleet stopped at the Canary Islands for repairs and to stock up on supplies then sailed west-ward into the unknown

The ships had good winds but after a monthat sea the sailors began to worry Columbuswrote that he was

ldquohaving trouble with the crew I am toldthat if I persist in going onward the best courseof action will be to throw me into the seardquo

Columbus however was determined He toldthe men ldquoI made this voyage to go to the Indiesand [I] shall continue until I find them withGodrsquos helprdquo To convince the crew that they hadnot traveled too far from home Columbus alteredthe distances in his shiprsquos log (See page 959 of the

Primary Sources Library for another log entry by Columbus)

ldquoTierra TierrardquoOn October 12 1492 at 200 in the morning a

lookout shouted ldquoTierra TierrardquomdashldquoLandLandrdquo He had spotted a small island part ofthe group now called the Bahamas Columbuswent ashore claimed the island for Spain andnamed it San Salvador Although he did notknow it Columbus had reached the Americas

Who Had the Right to Claim the Americas

Who owned the land of the Americas before the Europeans arrivedDid it belong to the people who already lived there or was it there tobe taken by the Europeans While reading the excerpts below noticethe difference in opinions about who owned the rights to the land of the Americas

Letter from Christopher Columbus to the

King and Queen of Spain March 4 1493

I come from the Indies with the armada

Your Highnesses gave me I found innumer-

able [many] people and very many islands of

which I took possession in Your Highnessesrsquo

name by royal crier and with Your Highnessesrsquo

royal banner unfurled and it was not

contradicted

And I continued to enter very many

harbors in each of which I placed a very

large cross in the most appropriate spot as

I had done in all the other [harbors] of the

other islands

Speech by Chief Red Jacket leader of the SenecaNation to a white missionary 1805There was a time when our forefathers owned this great

island Their seats extended from the rising to the setting ofthe sun The Great Spirit had made it for the use of IndiansHe had created buffalo the deer and other animals forfood He had made the bear and beaver and their skinsserved us for clothing The white people brother had now found our country

Tidings were carried back and more came amongst us Yetwe did not fear them We took them to be friends Brother our seats were once large and yours were verysmall You have now become a great people and we havescarcely a place left tospread our blanketsYou have got our coun-try but you are not

Learning From History1 According to Christopher Columbus

who owned the land that heexplored in the Americas

2 How did the relationship betweenEuropeans and Native Americansseem to change as more and moreEuropeans came to America

Columbus explored the area forseveral months convinced he hadreached the East Indies the islands offthe coast of Asia Today the Carib-bean Islands are often referred to asthe West Indies Columbus called thelocal people Indians He noted thatthey regarded the Europeans withwonder and often touched them tofind out ldquoif they were flesh and boneslike themselvesrdquo

When Columbus returned toSpain in triumph Queen Isabellaand King Ferdinand received himwith great honor and agreed tofinance his future voyages Colum-bus had earned the title of Admiralof the Ocean Sea

Columbusrsquos Later VoyagesColumbus made three more voy-

ages from Spain in 1493 1498 and1502 He explored the Caribbeanislands of Hispaniola (present-dayHaiti and the Dominican Republic)Cuba and Jamaica and he sailedalong the coasts of Central Americaand northern South America Heclaimed the new lands for Spain andestablished settlements

Columbus originally thought thelands he had found were in AsiaLater explorations made it clear thatColumbus had not reached Asia atall He had found a part of the globeunknown to Europeans Asians andAfricans In the following years theSpanish explored most of theCaribbean region In time their voy-ages led to the establishment of theSpanish Empire in the Americas

Dividing the WorldBoth Spain and Portugal wanted to

protect their claims and they turnedto Pope Alexander VI for help In 1493the pope drew a line of demarcationan imaginary line running down the

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

After encountering troubles in Florida theexpedition led by Paacutenfilo de Narvaacuteez sailedalong the coast toward Mexico However inNovember 1528 three of the five boats were lostin a storm The two boats that survived wentaground on an island near present-day TexasWithin a few months only a handful of the ship-wrecked explorers were still alive

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

MISSIONARY IN THE PIMERIacuteA ALTA

After several years in Mexico City and Baja California Father Kino was sent to establish missions in the ldquoPimeriacutea Altardquomdashthe Upper Pima Countrymdashpartof present-day Sonora Mexico and southern Arizona

In March 1687 Father Kino established his first mission Nuestra Sentildeora de los Dolores at Cosari Hehelped start more than 20 missions along the SanMiguel Magdalena and Altar rivers

Exploring North America

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Church officials tried to get Luther to take back his statements ldquoI cannot go againstmy consciencerdquo he replied ldquoHere I stand I cannot do otherwise God help merdquo

A Divided ChurchMartin Lutherrsquos actions led to incredible changes in Europe Before he voiced

his beliefs the countries of Europe had their differences but they were boundtogether by a common church For centuries Catholicism had been the mainreligion of western Europe In the 1500s however Lutherrsquos opposition to thepolicies of the Roman Catholic Church emerged

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian ExchangeTrade between the continents known as the Columbian Exchange

changed life on both sides of the Atlantic

Europeans establishedlarge plantations workedby Native Americans andby Africans

Europeans brought wheat grapesand livestock to the AmericasEuropeans also introduced diseasesto which the Native Americanswere not immune

From Native Americans Euro-peans acquired foods such ascorn potatoes tomatoes beansand chocolate

Easy-to-grow food crops suchas the potato fed Europersquosgrowing population Somefoods such as corn also spread to Asia and Africa

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

The Viking voyages to other lands were notwell known Europeans did not ldquodiscoverrdquo theAmericas until Columbus made his great voyage

Spain Backs ColumbusFor most of the 1400s Spanish monarchs

devoted their energy to driving the Muslims outof their country With the fall of the last Muslimkingdom in southern Spain in 1492 King Ferdi-nand and Queen Isabella of Spain could focuson other goals The Spanish had been watchingthe seafaring and trading successes of neighbor-

ing Portugal with envy They too wanted toshare in the riches of Asian trade Columbusneeded a sponsor to finance his ambitious proj-ect of a westward voyage to Asia He visitedmany European courts looking for supportAfter years of frustration he finally found asponsor in Spain

Queen Isabella a devout Christian wasfinally persuaded by her husbandrsquos minister offinance to support the expedition for two rea-sons First Columbus had promised to bringChristianity to any lands he found Second if hefound a way to Asia Spain would become verywealthy She promised Columbus a share of anyriches gained from lands he discovered on hisway to Asia

Columbusrsquos First VoyageOn August 3 1492 Columbus set out from

Palos Spain He had two small ships the Nintildeaand the Pinta and a larger one the Santa Mariacuteacarrying a total of about 90 sailors The smallfleet stopped at the Canary Islands for repairs and to stock up on supplies then sailed west-ward into the unknown

The ships had good winds but after a monthat sea the sailors began to worry Columbuswrote that he was

ldquohaving trouble with the crew I am toldthat if I persist in going onward the best courseof action will be to throw me into the seardquo

Columbus however was determined He toldthe men ldquoI made this voyage to go to the Indiesand [I] shall continue until I find them withGodrsquos helprdquo To convince the crew that they hadnot traveled too far from home Columbus alteredthe distances in his shiprsquos log (See page 959 of the

Primary Sources Library for another log entry by Columbus)

Letter from Christopher Columbus to the

King and Queen of Spain March 4 1493

I come from the Indies with the armada

Your Highnesses gave me I found innumer-

able [many] people and very many islands of

which I took possession in Your Highnessesrsquo

name by royal crier and with Your Highnessesrsquo

royal banner unfurled and it was not

contradicted

And I continued to enter very many

harbors in each of which I placed a very

large cross in the most appropriate spot as

I had done in all the other [harbors] of the

other islands

Speech by Chief Red Jacket leader of the SenecaNation to a white missionary 1805There was a time when our forefathers owned this great

island Their seats extended from the rising to the setting ofthe sun The Great Spirit had made it for the use of IndiansHe had created buffalo the deer and other animals forfood He had made the bear and beaver and their skinsserved us for clothing The white people brother had now found our country

Tidings were carried back and more came amongst us Yetwe did not fear them We took them to be friends Brother our seats were once large and yours were verysmall You have now become a great people and we havescarcely a place left tospread our blanketsYou have got our coun-try but you are not

satisfied You want toforce your religionupon us

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

empire in the Americas Its rulers were preoccu-pied by political and religious conflicts at homeThe French viewed North America as an oppor-tunity for profits from fishing and fur tradingrather than as a place to settle

Reading a Time Line

Social StudiesSocial Studies

C02-10Ctimeline tk

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines

4 How long did Magellanrsquos voyage around theworld take

CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

Who Had the Right to Claim the Americas

Who owned the land of the Americas before the Europeans arrivedDid it belong to the people who already lived there or was it there tobe taken by the Europeans While reading the excerpts below noticethe difference in opinions about who owned the rights to the land of the Americas

Letter from Christopher Columbus to the

King and Queen of Spain March 4 1493

I come from the Indies with the armada

Your Highnesses gave me I found innumer-

able [many] people and very many islands of

which I took possession in Your Highnessesrsquo

name by royal crier and with Your Highnessesrsquo

royal banner unfurled and it was not

contradicted

And I continued to enter very many

harbors in each of which I placed a very

large cross in the most appropriate spot as

I had done in all the other [harbors] of the

other islands

Speech by Chief Red Jacket leader of the SenecaNation to a white missionary 1805There was a time when our forefathers owned this great

island Their seats extended from the rising to the setting ofthe sun The Great Spirit had made it for the use of IndiansHe had created buffalo the deer and other animals forfood He had made the bear and beaver and their skinsserved us for clothing The white people brother had now found our country

Tidings were carried back and more came amongst us Yetwe did not fear them We took them to be friends Brother our seats were once large and yours were verysmall You have now become a great people and we havescarcely a place left tospread our blanketsYou have got our coun-try but you are not

satisfied You want toforce your religionupon us

Learning From History1 According to Christopher Columbus

who owned the land that heexplored in the Americas

2 How did the relationship betweenEuropeans and Native Americansseem to change as more and moreEuropeans came to America

Columbus explored the area forseveral months convinced he hadreached the East Indies the islands offthe coast of Asia Today the Carib-bean Islands are often referred to asthe West Indies Columbus called thelocal people Indians He noted thatthey regarded the Europeans withwonder and often touched them tofind out ldquoif they were flesh and boneslike themselvesrdquo

When Columbus returned toSpain in triumph Queen Isabellaand King Ferdinand received himwith great honor and agreed tofinance his future voyages Colum-bus had earned the title of Admiralof the Ocean Sea

Columbusrsquos Later VoyagesColumbus made three more voy-

ages from Spain in 1493 1498 and1502 He explored the Caribbeanislands of Hispaniola (present-dayHaiti and the Dominican Republic)Cuba and Jamaica and he sailedalong the coasts of Central Americaand northern South America Heclaimed the new lands for Spain andestablished settlements

Columbus originally thought thelands he had found were in AsiaLater explorations made it clear thatColumbus had not reached Asia atall He had found a part of the globeunknown to Europeans Asians andAfricans In the following years theSpanish explored most of theCaribbean region In time their voy-ages led to the establishment of theSpanish Empire in the Americas

Dividing the WorldBoth Spain and Portugal wanted to

protect their claims and they turnedto Pope Alexander VI for help In 1493the pope drew a line of demarcationan imaginary line running down the

John Cabot suggested that a voyageacross the Atlantic could be quickenedby sailing at a more northerly latitudethan Columbuss route

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

After encountering troubles in Florida theexpedition led by Paacutenfilo de Narvaacuteez sailedalong the coast toward Mexico However inNovember 1528 three of the five boats were lostin a storm The two boats that survived wentaground on an island near present-day TexasWithin a few months only a handful of the ship-wrecked explorers were still alive

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

PADRE ONHORSEBACKMISSIONARY AND EXPLORER Eusebio Kino(yoobullSAYbullbebulloh KEEbullno) was an Italian who studiedastronomy mapmaking and mathematics beforebecoming a Jesuit priest In 1681 he went to Mexicowith the Spaniards to map the area and convertNative Americans to Catholicism

MISSIONARY IN THE PIMERIacuteA ALTA

After several years in Mexico City and Baja California Father Kino was sent to establish missions in the ldquoPimeriacutea Altardquomdashthe Upper Pima Countrymdashpartof present-day Sonora Mexico and southern Arizona

In March 1687 Father Kino established his first mission Nuestra Sentildeora de los Dolores at Cosari Hehelped start more than 20 missions along the SanMiguel Magdalena and Altar rivers

Father Kino and other missionaries changed the faceof Pimeriacutea Alta forever The priests converted thousandsof Native Americans to Christianity By introducing live-stock wheat European fruit and other new crops themissionaries altered the economy of the region

Exploring North America

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Church officials tried to get Luther to take back his statements ldquoI cannot go againstmy consciencerdquo he replied ldquoHere I stand I cannot do otherwise God help merdquo

A Divided ChurchMartin Lutherrsquos actions led to incredible changes in Europe Before he voiced

his beliefs the countries of Europe had their differences but they were boundtogether by a common church For centuries Catholicism had been the mainreligion of western Europe In the 1500s however Lutherrsquos opposition to thepolicies of the Roman Catholic Church emerged

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian ExchangeTrade between the continents known as the Columbian Exchange

changed life on both sides of the Atlantic

Europeans establishedlarge plantations workedby Native Americans andby Africans

Europeans brought wheat grapesand livestock to the AmericasEuropeans also introduced diseasesto which the Native Americanswere not immune

From Native Americans Euro-peans acquired foods such ascorn potatoes tomatoes beansand chocolate

Easy-to-grow food crops suchas the potato fed Europersquosgrowing population Somefoods such as corn also spread to Asia and Africa

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

French Open Trading PostsFrance had shown little interest in building an

empire in the Americas Its rulers were preoccu-pied by political and religious conflicts at homeThe French viewed North America as an oppor-tunity for profits from fishing and fur tradingrather than as a place to settle

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Iswam closer to get a betterlook and had to stop myselffrom laughing The strangers

had wrapped every part of theirbodies with colorful leaves andcotton Some had decorated theirfaces with fur and wore shinyrocks on their heads Compared tous they were very round Theircanoe was short and square andin spite of all their dipping andpulling it moved so slowly Whata backward distant island theymust have come from But reallyto laugh at guests no matter howodd would be impolite espe-cially since I was the first to meetthem If I was foolish they wouldthink they had arrived at a foolishplace

I kicked toward the canoe andcalled out the simplest thing

ldquoHellordquo The man stared at me as though

hersquod never seen a girl before thenshouted something to his rela-tives They all stopped paddlingand looked in my direction

ldquoHellordquo I tried again ldquoWel-come to home My name is

Morning Girl rdquo

All the fat people in the canoebegan pointing at me and talkingat once In their excitement theyalmost turned themselves overand I allowed my body to sinkbeneath the waves for a momentin order to hide my smile

When I came up they were stillwatching the way babies dowide eyed and with their mouthsuncovered They had much tolearn about how to behave Itwas clear that they hadnrsquot trav-eled much before

53CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

After encountering troubles in Florida theexpedition led by Paacutenfilo de Narvaacuteez sailedalong the coast toward Mexico However inNovember 1528 three of the five boats were lostin a storm The two boats that survived wentaground on an island near present-day TexasWithin a few months only a handful of the ship-wrecked explorers were still alive

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Church officials tried to get Luther to take back his statements ldquoI cannot go againstmy consciencerdquo he replied ldquoHere I stand I cannot do otherwise God help merdquo

A Divided ChurchMartin Lutherrsquos actions led to incredible changes in Europe Before he voiced

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

From Native Americans Euro-peans acquired foods such ascorn potatoes tomatoes beansand chocolate

Easy-to-grow food crops suchas the potato fed Europersquosgrowing population Somefoods such as corn also spread to Asia and Africa

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

French Open Trading PostsFrance had shown little interest in building an

empire in the Americas Its rulers were preoccu-pied by political and religious conflicts at homeThe French viewed North America as an oppor-tunity for profits from fishing and fur tradingrather than as a place to settle

Reading a Time Line

Social StudiesSocial Studies

C02-10Ctimeline tk

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines

4 How long did Magellanrsquos voyage around theworld take

c 1480Magellan is bornin Sabrosa Portugal

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

A Divided ChurchMartin Lutherrsquos actions led to incredible changes in Europe Before he voiced

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

Reading a Time Line

Social StudiesSocial Studies

C02-10Ctimeline tk

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines

4 How long did Magellanrsquos voyage around theworld take

c 1480Magellan is bornin Sabrosa Portugal

of what we now know as Mexico in 1519 he waslooking for gold and glory He came with about500 soldiers some horses and a few cannonsCorteacutes soon learned about the great AztecEmpire and its capital of Tenochtitlaacuten

In building their empire the Aztec had con-quered many cities in Mexico These cities wereforced to give crops clothing gold and preciousstones to the Aztec as tribute Corteacutes formedalliances with nearby cities against the Aztec

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

Exploring North America

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Church officials tried to get Luther to take back his statements ldquoI cannot go againstmy consciencerdquo he replied ldquoHere I stand I cannot do otherwise God help merdquo

A Divided ChurchMartin Lutherrsquos actions led to incredible changes in Europe Before he voiced

his beliefs the countries of Europe had their differences but they were boundtogether by a common church For centuries Catholicism had been the mainreligion of western Europe In the 1500s however Lutherrsquos opposition to thepolicies of the Roman Catholic Church emerged

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian Exchange

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

Reading a Time Line

Social StudiesSocial Studies

C02-10Ctimeline tk

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines

4 How long did Magellanrsquos voyage around theworld take

c 1480Magellan is bornin Sabrosa Portugal

c 1490Spends early years as apage at Portuguese court

53CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

ldquoWithout roofs are the houses And red are their walls with blood Weep my friendsKnow that with these disasters We have lost our Mexican nationrdquo

The Aztec Empire disintegrated and Spainseized control of the region

Pizarro Conquers PeruThe conquistador Francisco Pizarro sailed

down the Pacific coast of South America withabout 180 Spanish soldiers Pizarro had heardtales of the incredibly wealthy Inca Empire inwhat is now Peru In 1532 Pizarro captured theInca ruler Atahualpa (ahbulltahbullWAHLbullpah)and destroyed much of the Incan army

The following year the Spanish falsely accusedAtahualpa of crimes and executed him The Incawere used to obeying commands from theirrulers Without leadership they were not able tofight effectively Within a few years Pizarro hadgained control of most of the vast Inca Empire

Why Spain SucceededThe conquistadorsrsquo victories in Mexico and

Peru were quick and lasting How could Corteacutesand Pizarro with only a few hundred Spanishsoldiers conquer such mighty empires

First the Spanish arrived with strangeweaponsmdashguns and cannonsmdashand fearsomeanimals They rode horses and had huge fero-cious dogs To the Native Americans the Spanishseemed almost like gods Second many NativeAmericans hated their Aztec overlords andassisted the conquistadors in overthrowing them

Finally disease played an extremely large rolein the Spanish conquest Native Americans hadno immunity to the diseases the Europeans hadunknowingly brought with them Epidemics ofsmallpox and other diseases wiped out entirecommunities in the Americas and did much to weaken the resistance of the Aztec and Inca

Analyzing How were the Spanishable to defeat mighty Native American empires

Who celebrated the first Thanksgiving We all knowthat the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Or didthey On April 30 1598 long before the Pilgrims came toNorth America Spanish colonists held a thanksgivingfeast near present-day El Paso Texas Juan de Ontildeate hadled 400 men and their families across the desert fromMexico After they reached the Rio Grande Ontildeate toldthem to feast and give thanks for the abundance of thenew land

The First Thanksgiving

Spain in North AmericaMexico and Peru were rich in silver and gold

Hoping to find similar wealth to the north con-quistadors explored the southeastern and south-western parts of North America

Juan Ponce de Leoacuten made the first Spanishlanding on the mainland of North Americaarriving on the east coast of present-day Floridain 1513 According to legend Ponce de Leoacutenhoped to find not only gold but the legendaryfountain of youth ldquoa spring of running water ofsuch marvelous virtuerdquo that drinking it ldquomakesold men young againrdquo Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos explo-ration led to the first Spanish settlement in whatis now the United States In 1565 the Spanishestablished a fort at St Augustine Florida

The Seven Cities of CibolaMany other conquistadors searched for quick

riches None ever achieved this goal and severallost their lives trying Aacutelvar Nuacutentildeez Cabeza deVaca (cahbullBAYbullsah day VAHbullcah) was part ofa Spanish expedition to Florida in 1528

After encountering troubles in Florida theexpedition led by Paacutenfilo de Narvaacuteez sailedalong the coast toward Mexico However inNovember 1528 three of the five boats were lostin a storm The two boats that survived wentaground on an island near present-day TexasWithin a few months only a handful of the ship-wrecked explorers were still alive

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

Exploring North America

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Church officials tried to get Luther to take back his statements ldquoI cannot go againstmy consciencerdquo he replied ldquoHere I stand I cannot do otherwise God help merdquo

A Divided ChurchMartin Lutherrsquos actions led to incredible changes in Europe Before he voiced

his beliefs the countries of Europe had their differences but they were boundtogether by a common church For centuries Catholicism had been the mainreligion of western Europe In the 1500s however Lutherrsquos opposition to thepolicies of the Roman Catholic Church emerged

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian ExchangeTrade between the continents known as the Columbian Exchange

changed life on both sides of the Atlantic

Europeans establishedlarge plantations workedby Native Americans andby Africans

Europeans brought wheat grapesand livestock to the AmericasEuropeans also introduced diseasesto which the Native Americanswere not immune

From Native Americans Euro-peans acquired foods such ascorn potatoes tomatoes beansand chocolate

Easy-to-grow food crops suchas the potato fed Europersquosgrowing population Somefoods such as corn also spread to Asia and Africa

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

Reading a Time Line

Social StudiesSocial Studies

C02-10Ctimeline tk

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines

4 How long did Magellanrsquos voyage around theworld take

A Mexican nun JuanaIneacutes de la Cruz mayhave been the firstwoman in the Americasto write about womenrsquosrights What is remark-able about Sor Juana(ldquoSisterrdquo Juana) is thatshe was a famous writerat a time when mostwomen were not taughtto read Her poems and

stories were well knownin Mexico her playswere performed in theroyal palace of Mexicoand her books were pop-ular in Spain

An archbishop of theChurch however did notapprove of women freelyexpressing their opin-ions He threatened toput her on trial for violat-

ing Church rules unlessshe followed a strict vowof poverty and sold herbooks and belongings

Although she gave theappearance of obediencean unfinished poemfound in her belongingsafter her death showedthat she continued toexercise her talent

To survive Cabeza de Vaca and an enslavedAfrican named Estevanico became medicinemen Cabeza de Vaca later wrote that theirmethod of healing was ldquoto bless the sick breath-ing on themrdquo and to recite Latin prayers

In 1533 the Spaniards set off on foot on a great1000-mile journey across the Southwest Arriv-ing in Mexico in 1536 Cabeza de Vaca relatedtales he had heard of seven cities with walls ofemerald and streets of gold

The stories inspired Hernando de Soto wholed an expedition to explore Florida and lands tothe west For three years De Soto and his troopswandered around the southeastern area of thepresent-day United States following stories ofgold As the Spaniards traveled they tookadvantage of the native peoples Their usualmethod was to enter a village take the chiefhostage and demand food and supplies

De Soto crossed the Mississippi River in1541 describing it as ldquoswift and very deeprdquoAfter traveling as far west as present-day Okla-homa De Soto died of fever His men buriedhim in the waters of the Mississippi

Francisco Vaacutesquez de Coronado also wantedto find the legendary ldquoSeven Cities of CibolardquoAfter traveling through areas of northern Mex-

ico and present-day Arizona and New Mexicothe expedition reached a town belonging to theZuni people in early summer 1540 They real-ized at once that there was no gold Members ofthe expedition traveled west to the ColoradoRiver and east into what is now Kansas Theyfound nothing but ldquowindswept plainsrdquo andstrange ldquoshaggy cowsrdquo (buffalo) DisappointedCoronado returned to Mexico

Explaining How did stories of theldquoSeven Cities of Cibolardquo affect Spanish exploration

Spanish RuleSpanish law called for three kinds of settle-

ments in the Americasmdashpueblos missions andpresidios Pueblos or towns were established ascenters of trade Missions were religious com-munities that usually included a small town sur-rounding farmland and a church A presidio orfort was usually built near a mission

Juan de Ontildeate (day ohn bull YAH bull tay) was sentfrom Mexico to gain control over lands to thenorth and to convert the inhabitants In 1598Ontildeate founded the province of New Mexico andintroduced cattle and horses to the Pueblo people

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

Exploring North America

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Church officials tried to get Luther to take back his statements ldquoI cannot go againstmy consciencerdquo he replied ldquoHere I stand I cannot do otherwise God help merdquo

A Divided ChurchMartin Lutherrsquos actions led to incredible changes in Europe Before he voiced

his beliefs the countries of Europe had their differences but they were boundtogether by a common church For centuries Catholicism had been the mainreligion of western Europe In the 1500s however Lutherrsquos opposition to thepolicies of the Roman Catholic Church emerged

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

Europeans brought wheat grapesand livestock to the AmericasEuropeans also introduced diseasesto which the Native Americanswere not immune

From Native Americans Euro-peans acquired foods such ascorn potatoes tomatoes beansand chocolate

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

empire in the Americas Its rulers were preoccu-pied by political and religious conflicts at homeThe French viewed North America as an oppor-tunity for profits from fishing and fur tradingrather than as a place to settle

Social ClassesA class system developed in Spainrsquos empire

The upper class consisted of people who hadbeen born in Spain called peninsulares Thepeninsulares owned the land served in theCatholic Church and ran the local governmentBelow them were the creoles people born in theAmericas to Spanish parents Lower in the classstructure were the mestizos (mehbullSTEEbullzohs)people with Spanish and Native American par-ents Still lower were the Native Americansmost of whom lived in great poverty At the verybottom were enslaved Africans

In the 1500s the Spanish government grantedeach conquistador who settled in the Americas anencomienda the right to demand taxes or laborfrom Native Americans living on the land Thissystem turned the Native Americans into slavesGrueling labor in the fields and in the gold andsilver mines took its toll Many Native Americansdied from malnutrition and disease

A Spanish priest Bartolomeacute de Las Casascondemned the cruel treatment of the NativeAmericans He pleaded for laws to protect themLas Casas claimed that millions had diedbecause the Spanish ldquomade gold their ultimateaim seeking to load themselves with riches inthe shortest possible timerdquo

Because of Las Casasrsquos reports in 1542 theSpanish government passed the New Lawswhich forbade making slaves of Native Ameri-cans Although not always enforced the lawsdid correct the worst abuses

The Plantation SystemSome Spanish settlers made large profits by

exporting crops and raw materials back to SpainIn the West Indies the main exports were tobaccoand sugarcane To raise these crops the Spanishdeveloped the plantation system A plantationwas a large estate The Spanish used NativeAmericans to work their plantations

Las Casas suggested replacing them withenslaved Africansmdasha suggestion he bitterly regret-ted later He thought the Africans could endure thelabor better than the Native Americans

By the mid-1500s the Spanish were bringingthousands from West Africa to the AmericasThe Portuguese did the same in Brazil TheAfricans who survived the brutal ocean voyagewere sold to plantation owners By the late1500s plantation slave labor was an essentialpart of the economy of the colonies

PADRE ONHORSEBACKMISSIONARY AND EXPLORER Eusebio Kino(yoobullSAYbullbebulloh KEEbullno) was an Italian who studiedastronomy mapmaking and mathematics beforebecoming a Jesuit priest In 1681 he went to Mexicowith the Spaniards to map the area and convertNative Americans to Catholicism

MISSIONARY IN THE PIMERIacuteA ALTA

After several years in Mexico City and Baja California Father Kino was sent to establish missions in the ldquoPimeriacutea Altardquomdashthe Upper Pima Countrymdashpartof present-day Sonora Mexico and southern Arizona

In March 1687 Father Kino established his first mission Nuestra Sentildeora de los Dolores at Cosari Hehelped start more than 20 missions along the SanMiguel Magdalena and Altar rivers

Father Kino and other missionaries changed the faceof Pimeriacutea Alta forever The priests converted thousandsof Native Americans to Christianity By introducing live-stock wheat European fruit and other new crops themissionaries altered the economy of the region

Exploring North America

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Church officials tried to get Luther to take back his statements ldquoI cannot go againstmy consciencerdquo he replied ldquoHere I stand I cannot do otherwise God help merdquo

A Divided ChurchMartin Lutherrsquos actions led to incredible changes in Europe Before he voiced

his beliefs the countries of Europe had their differences but they were boundtogether by a common church For centuries Catholicism had been the mainreligion of western Europe In the 1500s however Lutherrsquos opposition to thepolicies of the Roman Catholic Church emerged

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian ExchangeTrade between the continents known as the Columbian Exchange

changed life on both sides of the Atlantic

Europeans establishedlarge plantations workedby Native Americans andby Africans

Europeans brought wheat grapesand livestock to the AmericasEuropeans also introduced diseasesto which the Native Americanswere not immune

From Native Americans Euro-peans acquired foods such ascorn potatoes tomatoes beansand chocolate

Easy-to-grow food crops suchas the potato fed Europersquosgrowing population Somefoods such as corn also spread to Asia and Africa

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

French Open Trading PostsFrance had shown little interest in building an

empire in the Americas Its rulers were preoccu-pied by political and religious conflicts at homeThe French viewed North America as an oppor-tunity for profits from fishing and fur tradingrather than as a place to settle

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

French Open Trading PostsFrance had shown little interest in building an

empire in the Americas Its rulers were preoccu-pied by political and religious conflicts at homeThe French viewed North America as an oppor-tunity for profits from fishing and fur tradingrather than as a place to settle

Reading a Time Line

Social StudiesSocial Studies

C02-10Ctimeline tk

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines

4 How long did Magellanrsquos voyage around theworld take

Exploring North America

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Church officials tried to get Luther to take back his statements ldquoI cannot go againstmy consciencerdquo he replied ldquoHere I stand I cannot do otherwise God help merdquo

A Divided ChurchMartin Lutherrsquos actions led to incredible changes in Europe Before he voiced

his beliefs the countries of Europe had their differences but they were boundtogether by a common church For centuries Catholicism had been the mainreligion of western Europe In the 1500s however Lutherrsquos opposition to thepolicies of the Roman Catholic Church emerged

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

changed life on both sides of the Atlantic

Europeans establishedlarge plantations workedby Native Americans andby Africans

Europeans brought wheat grapesand livestock to the AmericasEuropeans also introduced diseasesto which the Native Americanswere not immune

From Native Americans Euro-peans acquired foods such ascorn potatoes tomatoes beansand chocolate

Easy-to-grow food crops suchas the potato fed Europersquosgrowing population Somefoods such as corn also spread to Asia and Africa

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

French Open Trading PostsFrance had shown little interest in building an

empire in the Americas Its rulers were preoccu-pied by political and religious conflicts at homeThe French viewed North America as an oppor-tunity for profits from fishing and fur tradingrather than as a place to settle

Dutch SettlementsLike other European countries the Nether-

lands was also eager to claim its share of worldtrade Until Hudsonrsquos voyage there had been noDutch exploration in North America Hudsonrsquosvoyage became the start for Dutch claims on the continent

Although the Netherlands was a small coun-try its large fleet of trading ships sailed all overthe world In 1621 the Dutch West India Company set up a trading colonymdashNewNetherlandmdashin the area Hudson had exploredIn 1624 the company sent 30 families to settlethe area They settled at Fort Orange (later

Albany) on the Hudson River and on Burling-ton Island in New Jersey Shortly after that FortNassau was established just opposite wherePhiladelphia stands today

The center of the new colony was NewAmsterdam located on the tip of ManhattanIsland where the Hudson River enters New YorkHarbor In 1626 Peter Minuit the governor of thecolony paid the Manhates people 60 Dutchguilders in goods for the island The goods proba-bly included cloth and valuable tools such as axeshoes and awls Like Portugal Spain and Francethe Netherlands started colonies in the Americas

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines

4 How long did Magellanrsquos voyage around theworld take

Exploring North America

In 1517 Martin Luther a German priest nailed a list of complaints about theCatholic Church on the door of a local church Luther declared that the Bible was theonly true guide for Christians He rejected many Church practicesmdasheven the authorityof the popemdashbecause they were not mentioned in the Bible Luther also believed thatfaith rather than good deeds was the way to salvation

Church officials tried to get Luther to take back his statements ldquoI cannot go againstmy consciencerdquo he replied ldquoHere I stand I cannot do otherwise God help merdquo

A Divided ChurchMartin Lutherrsquos actions led to incredible changes in Europe Before he voiced

his beliefs the countries of Europe had their differences but they were boundtogether by a common church For centuries Catholicism had been the mainreligion of western Europe In the 1500s however Lutherrsquos opposition to thepolicies of the Roman Catholic Church emerged

59CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian ExchangeTrade between the continents known as the Columbian Exchange

changed life on both sides of the Atlantic

Europeans establishedlarge plantations workedby Native Americans andby Africans

Europeans brought wheat grapesand livestock to the AmericasEuropeans also introduced diseasesto which the Native Americanswere not immune

From Native Americans Euro-peans acquired foods such ascorn potatoes tomatoes beansand chocolate

Easy-to-grow food crops suchas the potato fed Europersquosgrowing population Somefoods such as corn also spread to Asia and Africa

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

French Open Trading PostsFrance had shown little interest in building an

empire in the Americas Its rulers were preoccu-pied by political and religious conflicts at homeThe French viewed North America as an oppor-tunity for profits from fishing and fur tradingrather than as a place to settle

Reading a Time Line

Social StudiesSocial Studies

C02-10Ctimeline tk

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

59CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

Within a few years Luther had many follow-ers They broke away from Catholicism to begintheir own Christian churches Martin Lutherrsquosprotests were the start of a great religious andhistorical movement known as the ProtestantReformation

Protestantism Spreads in EuropeFrom Germany Lutherrsquos ideas spread rapidly

John Calvin a French religious thinker alsobroke away from the Catholic Church LikeLuther Calvin rejected the idea that good workswould ensure a personrsquos salvation He believedthat God had already chosen those who wouldbe saved

In England King Henry VIII also left theCatholic Church but not for religious reasonsPope Clement VII had refused Henryrsquos requestto declare his first marriage invalid In 1534 the English Parliament working with the king

denied the authority of the pope and recognizedthe king as the head of the Church of EnglandDuring the rule of Henryrsquos daughter QueenElizabeth I further reforms firmly establishedEngland as a Protestant nation

Religious Rivalries in the AmericasThroughout western Europe people and

nations divided into Catholics and ProtestantsWhen these Europeans crossed the Atlanticthey took along their religious differences

Spanish and French Catholics worked tospread their faith to the Native Americans TheSpanish settled in the southwestern and south-eastern regions of North America and theFrench settled in the northeast Dutch andEnglish Protestants established colonies in landsalong the Atlantic coast between the French andthe Spanish settlements Some of the Englishsettlements were founded by Protestants whowanted to practice their beliefs in peace

Explaining What role did religionplay in the exploration of North America

Economics

Economic RivalryReligion was only one of the factors that

pushed European nations across the AtlanticOcean The promise of great wealth was equallystrong especially as other Europeans watchedSpain gain riches from its colonies

According to the economic theory of mercantilism a nationrsquos power was based on itswealth Rulers tried to increase their nationrsquostotal wealth by acquiring gold and silver andby developing trade Mercantilism providedgreat opportunities for individual merchantsto make money It also increased rivalrybetween nations

Several countries in Europe competed foroverseas territory that could produce wealthThey wanted to acquire colonies in the Ameri-cas that could provide valuable resources suchas gold and silver or raw materials Thecolonies would also serve as a place to sellEuropean products

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Page 25: Exploring the Americasyourhistorysite.com/The American Journey/chap02.pdfthroughout Europe Main Idea New knowledge and ideas led Euro-peans to explore overseas. Key Terms classical,

The Columbian ExchangeTrade between the continents known as the Columbian Exchange

changed life on both sides of the Atlantic

Europeans establishedlarge plantations workedby Native Americans andby Africans

Europeans brought wheat grapesand livestock to the AmericasEuropeans also introduced diseasesto which the Native Americanswere not immune

From Native Americans Euro-peans acquired foods such ascorn potatoes tomatoes beansand chocolate

Easy-to-grow food crops suchas the potato fed Europersquosgrowing population Somefoods such as corn also spread to Asia and Africa

The Columbian Exchange

60 CHAPTER 2 Exploring the Americas

The Columbian ExchangeThe voyages of Columbus and other explor-

ers brought together two parts of the globe thatpreviously had had no contact the continents ofEurope Asia and Africa in one hemisphere andthe Americas in the other The contact led to anexchange of plants animals and diseases thataltered life on both sides of the Atlantic Scholarsrefer to this as the Columbian Exchange

A Northwest PassageThe Treaty of Tordesillas had divided the

Americas between Spain and Portugal It did notallow for claims by other nationsmdashso EnglandFrance and the Netherlands ignored the treatyDuring the 1500s and early 1600s these countriessent explorers to chart the coast of North Amer-ica They wanted to profit from trade and colo-nization as well The voyage to Asiamdasheitheraround the southern tip of Africa or aroundSouth Americamdashwas long and difficult For thisreason the three countries hoped to discover aNorthwest Passage to Asiamdasha more direct waterroute through the Americas

In 1497 England sent John Cabot an Italianto look for a northern route to Asia Cabot prob-

ably landed on the coast of present-day New-foundland England used Cabotrsquos voyage as thebasis for its claims to North America

In 1524 France hired an Italian Giovanni daVerrazano to look for the northern sea route Ver-razano explored the coast of North America frompresent-day Nova Scotia down to the Carolinas

In 1535 French explorer Jacques Cartier(KARbulltyay) sailed up the St Lawrence Riverhoping it would lead to the Pacific He got as faras the Huron village of Hochelaga Cartier wrotethat from the mountain next to the village ldquoonesees a very great distancerdquo He named the peakMont-Royal which means ldquoroyal mountainrdquoThis is the site of the city now called MontrealCartier had heard stories about gold but hefound neither gold nor a sea route to Asia

Hudsonrsquos DiscoveriesThe Netherlands too wanted to find a passage

through the Americas They hired Henry Hudson an English sailor to explore In 1609 hediscovered the river that now bears his name Inhis ship the Half Moon Hudson sailed north onthe Hudson River as far as the site of present-dayAlbany Deciding that he had not found a passage

French Open Trading PostsFrance had shown little interest in building an

empire in the Americas Its rulers were preoccu-pied by political and religious conflicts at homeThe French viewed North America as an oppor-tunity for profits from fishing and fur tradingrather than as a place to settle

Reading a Time Line

Social StudiesSocial Studies

C02-10Ctimeline tk

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines

4 How long did Magellanrsquos voyage around theworld take

c 1480Magellan is bornin Sabrosa Portugal

Reading a Time Line

Social StudiesSocial Studies

C02-10Ctimeline tk

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines

4 How long did Magellanrsquos voyage around theworld take

c 1480Magellan is bornin Sabrosa Portugal

Why Learn this SkillKnowing the relationship of time to events is

important in studying history A time line is a visualway to show chronological order within a timeperiod Most time lines are divided into sections representing equal time intervals For example a time line showing 1000 years might be dividedinto ten 100-year sections Each event on a time lineappears beside the date when the event took place

Learning the SkillTo read a time line follow these stepsbull Find the dates on the opposite

ends of the time line to know the time span Also note theintervals between dates on thetime line

bull Study the order of eventsbull Analyze relationships among

events or look for trends

Practicing the SkillAnalyze the time line of Magellanrsquos voyage belowUse it to answer the questions that follow

1 What time span is represented

2 How many years do each of the sections represent

3 Did Magellanrsquos voyage to the Spice Islands occurbefore or after his voyage to the Philippines
