Prayer to St. Francis Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is discord, unity; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy.

O Diving Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen

Economic Changes and the Social OrderCulture in an Enlightened Age

New Economic Patterns Height of the Enlightenment (1750)- Population boom

Lowering Death rate- Not as much disease Better Diet- More Food- Longer Life- More people

Better Diet is due to new products from America-corn & potato How does this fit with Economics?????

Other Industries- Textiles- what is that? #1 product Mostly rural production— Cottage industry—

Spinners / weavers worked from their home

Emergence of Global Trade- Americas (Gold / plantations products) to Europe Europe used Gold to buy spices and tea from China Europe traded manufactured goods to Africa for slaves

Economic Changes and the Social Order

Culture in an Enlightened Age European Society in the Eighteenth Century

Social Order was not changed up to the 18th century Vast majority of Europeans- peasants / Rural 85% Huge difference between Eastern / Western Europe

In the East peasants tied to the land- perpetuate absolutism How much has all of this change affected their lives???

Nobles made up 2-3% of Europe’s population Not taxed, made up govt & military positions

Towns were small- townspeople were smaller group Italy, Dutch, Britain were only nations who had significant towns Ruled by Patrician oligarchies– wealthy rentiers--laborers

Colonial Empires and Revolution in the Western Hemisphere

Remember the age of Exploration. Who is colonizing where? What was their attitude when they got there?

16th century- Portuguese dominated Brazil Spain dominated Central & Eastern South

America Created a new civilization- Latin America-multiracial

Metizos- offspring of Europeans & Native American Indians

Mulattoes- offspring of Europeans & African Slaves

Where do you think that these offspring fit? Socially?

Colonial Empires and Revolution in the Western Hemisphere

The Economic Foundation

Economics in the new world Why did Europeans initially seek colonies in the New

World?

What came of the new world Initially Gold and Silver mined from Central & South America Slow switch to agriculture- Sugar Cane, Coffee, Cotton,

tobacco European landowners created large estates growing these crops Huge demand for labor- kept Natives/Slaves poor- referred to as

peons Still an element of today’s Latin American society

Trade was another source of economic gain Raw materials from the new world for finish products of the

old Initially only Spain/Portugal profited- British/France

followed

Colonial Empires and Revolution in the Western Hemisphere

The State and the Church in Colonial Latin America

Spain/Portugal creating large empires (300 years) Distance / Communication / Supplies- difficult to hold Created a system in which minority of Europeans ruled

Created a society based pre-enlightenment ideas. These Europeans had a great deal of autonomy (Absolutism) Viceroys ruled over portions of these empires

Their Children- Creoles- had great economic/education opp.

Both of these nations were Catholic- Church was powerful Movement to convert Indians to Christianity Missions were built to educate and Christianize The Church built hospitals, orphanages, schools- done it before Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz—author fought for womens rights

Colonial Empires and Revolution in the Western Hemisphere

British North America

18th century- new threat to Spanish/Ports power Great Britian- England, Scotland, Whales 1707 United Kingdom was created- unified govts.

1757 won lands in India and Cananda 1763 Britian became the world’s greatest colonial power

Cost of maintaining those colonies was great Tried to increase taxes on their colonies

1770s-1776 colonists upset with taxation revolted Started a new society- born of enlightenment ideas. What ideas would those have been?

the American revolution are present in this film??
