The document discusses several key aspects of education, economics, and governance in colonial America: 1) Colonial economies focused on exporting raw materials to England and importing manufactured goods, though the Navigation Acts regulating trade were often ignored. 2) New England's economy centered around shipping, timber, fishing, and whaling due to the large forests and access to waterways. 3) The English practice of "Salutary Neglect" allowed the colonies significant autonomy in governing themselves through their assemblies. 4) Colonial populations grew rapidly due to immigration from places like Ireland and Germany as well as high birth rates and increasing life expectancy. Slavery also expanded the population, growing from 13,000 slaves in 16

Mercantilism and the navigation acts
The Navigation Acts of the 1660s established trade regulations between England and its colonies based on mercantilist principles. The Acts stipulated that most colonial goods could only be sold to England, where they were taxed. All ships engaged in colonial trade also had to be built and owned by English or colonial subjects. The Acts increased smuggling in the colonies and angered colonists as England enforced the trade restrictions.

Ch. 5 Sec. 2 Decline of Feudalism
As towns formed and trade grew, feudalism declined in Europe. Nobles still controlled land but more people moved to towns, which were centers of opportunity. Towns were often owned by lords who granted charters allowing townspeople to govern themselves while paying taxes. In England and France, strong monarchies developed. William the Conqueror established the Norman dynasty in England in 1066 and his grandson Henry II strengthened royal power. In France, Hugh Capet founded the Capetian dynasty and Phillip II expanded French lands and centralized tax collection. Both countries saw kings pass titles to sons, increasing dynastic power over time. In England, legal reforms like trial by jury and common law established uniform laws while limits like the Mag

Chapter 1 british empire and industry
Britain's empire expanded greatly between 1500-1900 through trading posts that became colonies, victories over France in North America and India, and exploration of Australia and New Zealand. The slave trade transported over 11 million slaves, mostly on British ships, to the New World. Industrialization through inventions like the spinning jenny and steam engine, a free market economy, and migration to cities fueled economic growth. London's population increased over six fold between 1800-1900. The Victorian Age from 1837-1901 was a dynamic period of industrial growth, political stability, and gradual improvements to living standards, fueled by resources from Britain and its empire.

This document provides background information on European exploration and colonization in the 15th-16th centuries. It discusses the Spanish and Portuguese empires in the Americas, financed by funds confiscated from Spanish Jews forced out by the Inquisition. The Treaty of Tordesillas divided control of the new world between Spain and Portugal. It also notes the near elimination of the indigenous population in Mexico within a century due to warfare, famine, disease and lower birth rates, reducing the population by 90%. French colonialism focused on fur trading while English colonialism began through slavery and plunder.
Early British Colonies U.S. History
The early British colonies were established for economic reasons, with the first being Jamestown in 1607. Tobacco became a profitable crop in Virginia while indentured servitude provided labor. Self-governance emerged through entities like the Virginia House of Burgesses and Mayflower Compact. Puritans founded colonies like Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay to escape religious persecution in England. The 13 original colonies developed diverse economies while remaining tied to England through the Navigation Acts; however, they gained a growing spirit of self-determination.
Colonial America
1) Colonial America developed under the mercantilist system where colonies existed as markets and suppliers for the home country of Britain. Navigation Acts required trade to go through Britain and enumerated products could only be traded between Britain and colonies.
2) The colonies prospered under this system but some complained about restrictions. King James II further centralized control but this led to the Glorious Revolution and ideas of power coming from consent rather than divine right.
3) The four main regions - Plantation South, Middle Colonies, New England, and Frontier - developed differently based on economies, immigration, and governance structures. The Plantation South relied on tobacco and slavery while New England had family-based towns.

Glorious revolution.
The Glorious Revolution occurred in 1688 when the English Parliament invited William III of Orange-Nassau to overthrow King James II and become co-ruler with his wife Mary II. This established constitutional monarchy and secured a Protestant line of succession. As a result, Parliament passed the Bill of Rights in 1689 which limited royal power and established rights for citizens, and the Act of Settlement in 1701 which prevented Catholics from inheriting the throne. The Revolution had lasting effects on religion, finance, and freedom of the press in England.
Atlantic Slave Trade - anti abolitionists
Pro-slavery groups campaigned against abolition in several ways:
1) They argued that ending slavery would be economically harmful as it would cost Britain tax money and jobs in industries like sugar that relied on slave labor.
2) They claimed Britain needed the money from slavery to fund wars against France and that naval expertise from slave ships and shipbuilding strengthened Britain's military.
3) Anti-abolitionists asserted that slavery was justified by arguing Africans were inferior and that slaves were better off as Christians in bondage.
4) Groups supporting the continuation of slavery sent petitions to Parliament, published pamphlets promoting the same arguments, and sometimes bribed MPs to oppose ending the slave trade.

Prelude to the American Revolution
The document provides background on the political situation and growing tensions between Britain and its American colonies from 1650-1776. It discusses the period of Salutary Neglect, in which Britain loosely governed the colonies and did not heavily enforce taxation. However, after costly victories in the French and Indian War, Britain began strictly enforcing taxation through acts like the Navigation Acts to repay war debts, angering colonists who were accustomed to independence. Key events that increased colonial anger included the Proclamation of 1763 barring westward expansion and new taxes levied by King George III and Prime Minister George Greenville.

Similar to 5.1 Colonial America
The thirteen colonies, mercantilism, navigation acts
The document discusses Britain's mercantilist policies toward the American colonies from the 17th century. It explains that the main purpose of the colonial system was to enrich Britain by establishing strict control over colonial trade. The colonies were required to export raw goods to Britain and import finished British manufactures. The Navigation Acts regulated colonial trade by restricting it to British and colonial ships. While beneficial to Britain, these policies led to resentment in the colonies and unrest grew as colonial prosperity increased Britain's control.

PPT on the causes of the American Revolution, adapted from a presentation created by Susan Pojer at Horace Greely High School
Westward expansion
Columbus sailed west in 1492 hoping to find a route to Asia but landed in the Caribbean instead, beginning European colonization of the Americas. This devastated native populations through disease, slavery, and war. More British colonies were established in North America in the 1600s-1700s, growing prosperous through exports to England under the mercantilist economic system but resenting restrictions like the Navigation Acts. The Enlightenment and Great Awakening inspired independence of thought and challenged authority, paving the way for revolutionary ideas.
Presentation123456
Mercantilism arose in the 16th-18th centuries as the nation state grew in power and feudal institutions declined. Changes in technology and the Black Death reduced populations and increased commercial agriculture. Mercantilism held that a nation's wealth came from holding gold/silver, and it aimed to maximize exports and minimize imports. This led nations to establish colonies for resources and captive markets. The triangular slave trade expanded under these policies. While initially successful, mercantilism ultimately could not sustain long-term trade surpluses and was criticized by physiocrats and Adam Smith.

During the 18th century, trade between Britain and its American colonies became more complex, with the colonies taking on increasing debt through bills of exchange in return for exports like fish, wheat, and flour. At the same time, poverty grew in urban coastal areas as immigration from Europe swelled the seaport populations and depressed wages. The colonies also experienced a consumer revolution, consuming British exports and building finer homes. While English emigration weakened as wages rose at home, the colonies began accepting convict laborers from Britain. Ultimately, the colonies embraced the pluralism of a multi-ethnic society for economic and religious reasons.
American colonies prelude_to_revolutions
The document summarizes several chapters from a book about the history of the American colonies from 1685-1730. It describes how King James II consolidated northern colonies into the Dominion of New England, led by governor Edmund Andros, bringing higher taxes without representation. It also discusses the life of pirates in the colonies and the growth of the Atlantic slave trade and poverty in the colonies during the 1700s and 1750s-60s.

Chapter 3, Section 1 Colonial England
The document discusses Britain's policies toward its American colonies in the 17th-18th centuries. It established strict trade regulations through Acts like the Navigation Acts to control colonial trade for economic and political gain. However, Britain faced difficulties enforcing these policies as the colonies grew. It began practicing "Salutary neglect", relaxing regulations to maintain colonial loyalty and trade. This inconsistency in policy could have consequences, as the colonies may one day forget their allegiance to Britain and seek independence.
Extra credit
The document discusses several topics related to the history of colonial America:
1) The relationship between the British Crown and colonies became increasingly intertwined through trade, leading to tensions over taxes.
2) King William's wars with France in the late 17th century increased taxes on the colonies to fund the larger British military.
3) By the 1730s, more frequent ship arrivals from Britain brought letters and newspapers, making colonists more informed about European events.
4) The Atlantic trade system grew complex, with goods like tobacco, sugar, fish and lumber exchanged between the colonies and Britain and West Indies.
Mercantilismand actsppt
Mercantilism was an economic philosophy and policy practiced by European nations between the 16th and 18th centuries that promoted governmental regulation of a nation's economy for the purpose of increasing state power at the expense of rival nations. Under mercantilism, nations sought to accumulate gold and silver and achieve a positive trade balance by exporting more than they imported. They established colonies to produce raw materials and serve as captive markets, and enacted policies like the Navigation Acts to mandate that trade occur between a nation and its colonies in specified ways, such as requiring certain goods be shipped only to the mother country on domestic ships. The goal was for the government to amass wealth and bullion to enhance the nation's economic and military strength relative
The atlantic the_american_colonies_chapter_14
The document summarizes trade and economic development in the American colonies during the 18th century. It discusses how trade networks expanded and changed, with the northern colonies trading fish and lumber to the West Indies while the southern colonies shipped tobacco and sugar to England. It also describes growing urban poverty in seaports due to factors like wars, immigration, and increased economic integration with Britain. Finally, it outlines how the slave trade was crucial to the plantation economies of the colonies, with over 1.5 million enslaved Africans imported by the British and subjected to horrific conditions during the transatlantic journey.
Us history # 5
This document discusses the politics of empire and colonization between 1550-1750. Specifically, it outlines the competition between European powers like England, Spain, France, and the Netherlands for control of colonies and trade in the New World. This led to a series of wars throughout the 16th-17th-18th centuries as these countries sought to monopolize land, resources, peoples and trade in the Americas and globally. It also discusses the English conquest and colonization of Ireland and how that model was applied in British colonies in North America and the Caribbean.
Apush cram-packet-ap-exam
This document provides a chronological overview of major events in the unofficial history of the United States from 1494 to 1789. It covers early European exploration and colonization of North America, the establishment of the original 13 colonies, key events leading up to the American Revolution, the Revolution itself, the formation of the Articles of Confederation, and the drafting and ratification of the U.S. Constitution.
Transatlantic slave trade
The document discusses the origins and impacts of the transatlantic slave trade. It began in the late 15th century as European powers colonized the Americas and established sugar plantations there. They imported enslaved Africans to work on these plantations, resulting in 10-15 million Africans being taken as slaves until the 1860s. The slave trade generated huge profits that helped make Britain a wealthy industrial power. After Britain abolished slavery in 1833, it paid compensation to slave owners that totaled over £17 billion in today's money, benefiting wealthy elites and impacting British society. The document examines how this history of slavery and its profits are still impacting communities today.
Silver and Latin America
King Charles V ruled two vast empires from 1519-1556 which involved constant warfare. He fought to suppress Protestantism and faced threats from France, German princes, and the Ottoman Empire. In 1556, an exhausted Charles divided his empire between his brother and son. The Spanish Empire expanded greatly due to the conquests of the Aztecs and Incas by conquistadors like Cortes and Pizarro. The discovery of silver in the Americas had widespread impacts, making Spain powerful but also causing inflation that contributed to its later decline.
Lecture 3 Evolution of Global Economies Bullionism & Mercantilism part 2
This document provides an overview of mercantilism, the American Revolution, and the work of John Maynard Keynes. It discusses how mercantilism used protectionist policies like tariffs and quotas to promote industrial growth and national power. It explains how the Navigation Acts restricted colonial trade for England's benefit and angered colonists. The document also summarizes Keynes' contributions to developing macroeconomics and theories like government spending to stimulate demand and employment during recessions.
Lecture 1 Colonial Society On The Eve Of Revolution
Colonial society in the 18th century was stratified, with wealthy merchants, professionals, and large plantation owners at the top. Below them were yeoman farmers, artisans, and hired workers. At the bottom were indentured servants and slaves. While there was some social mobility, the principles of mercantilism and the triangular slave trade enriched many English merchants. Colonial assemblies exercised some self-governance but were limited by the power of royal governors. Religious diversity increased by 1775, though Anglican and Congregational churches held official status in most colonies.
1 2,3,4 Europ Conquest And Colonization
Five European nations established colonies in the Americas during the early modern period: Spain, Portugal, France, Britain, and the Netherlands. Spain conquered large empires in Central and South America through conquistadors like Cortes and Pizarro. Britain established colonies along the eastern seaboard for economic and religious reasons, including the Plymouth and Jamestown settlements. France focused on fur trading in Canada and adopted local customs. The colonization had massive consequences, including the deaths of most indigenous peoples from disease and violence, the introduction of crops and animals through the Columbian Exchange, and the rise of the transatlantic slave trade.
Exploration PowerPoint
The document discusses the rise of European exploration beginning in the 15th century. It summarizes the key motivations as seeking new trade routes (God, Glory, Gold), escaping Muslim control of existing routes, and hopes of converting natives to Christianity. It then outlines some of the major explorers including Portugal's Prince Henry and Bartolomew Diaz, followed by Vasco de Gama who found the sea route to India. Christopher Columbus's voyages seeking a western route to Asia inadvertently led to the European discovery and later colonization of the Americas.
PPT - A Brief Socio-Political and Historical Survey of Jamaica.pptx
The history of Jamaica over the past 500 years has been marked by struggles for freedom and resistance to adversity. Early inhabitants were the Taino people, who were later conquered by the Spanish in the 1500s. The British took control in 1655 and established sugar plantations that relied on the slave trade. Jamaica became very profitable for the British due to sugar exports but was marked by unrest between planters, slaves, and Maroon communities. Slavery was abolished in 1838, leading the plantation economy to collapse and widespread poverty among the freed slaves. Jamaica transitioned to a crown colony under direct British control in the 1860s as it rebuilt its economy and society after emancipation.

9.2 revolutionary war_ii
Benedict Arnold was initially a hero of the American Revolution but later committed treason by offering to hand over the key fort of West Point to the British. The British occupied Savannah, Georgia in 1778 and Charleston, South Carolina in 1780, where over 5,000 American troops were captured in the worst defeat of the war. Later battles including Cowpens and Guilford Courthouse involved clashes between American generals like Nathaniel Greene and Daniel Morgan against British commander Charles Cornwallis, ultimately resulting in Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown in 1781 after being surrounded by American and French forces, effectively ending the Revolutionary War.
9.1 revolutionary war_i
The document summarizes key events in the American Revolutionary War from 1775 to early 1778, including the battles of Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, and the Siege of Boston, as well as the formation of the Continental Army and Congress. It also discusses the publication of Common Sense, the Declaration of Independence, early battles in New York, and the pivotal American victory at Saratoga in 1777, which led France to enter the war as an American ally. The summary ends with Washington's army spending the harsh winter of 1777-78 at Valley Forge.
7.1 french-and-indian-war
The French established forts throughout North America to control the fur and grain trade, leading to conflicts with British colonists over territory. The French and Indian War erupted as the French and British fought for control of the Ohio River Valley and expanded into a global war. Though the British eventually defeated the French with reinforcements from Pitt, the Treaty of Paris angered American Indians by ceding land and colonial soldiers by poor treatment. This contributed to growing colonial unrest and resistance to British authority.
4.1 Colonial Expansion1
The document discusses several topics related to the history and development of the American colonies:
1) It describes the English Civil War and Restoration period in England in the mid-17th century and how this led to the establishment of several colonies in America, known as the Restoration Colonies, including North and South Carolina.
2) It provides details on the founding and economies of North Carolina, South Carolina, and the development of the plantation system and slave codes in the Southern colonies.
3) It briefly mentions the founding of the College of William & Mary and characteristics of the Middle Colonies before discussing the founding of New Netherlands by the Dutch and its eventual takeover and renaming to New York by the
3.2 new england
- The Plymouth colony was established in 1620 by English Puritan Separatists known as Pilgrims who traveled on the Mayflower and signed the Mayflower Compact agreeing to abide by majority rule.
- The Massachusetts Bay Colony was formed in 1630 by Puritans led by John Winthrop who sought to establish an ideal religious community separate from the Church of England.
- The colonies grew rapidly in the 1630s during the Great Migration which saw over 20,000 English immigrants arrive in Massachusetts, and towns established self-governance through democratic institutions like town meetings.
3.1 jamestown-virginia2
John Rolfe saved the Jamestown colony by developing a profitable strain of tobacco in 1614. This cash crop made Virginia profitable and was cultivated throughout the Chesapeake region. Labor shortages led to the use of indentured servants from England who would gain freedom after working for typically seven years, and the headright system rewarded land to owners for each servant brought. The first Africans arrived in Virginia as indentured servants in 1619. Fighting between English settlers and Powhatan Indians occurred from 1609-1646 before the Indians' power was destroyed. Virginia transitioned to a royal colony in 1625 under direct control of the English crown.
2.3_England_before_1607
Queen Elizabeth I ruled England from 1558 to 1603 and strengthened England's military and expanded its empire during her reign. Sir Francis Drake, a famous privateer known as a "Sea Dog", circumnavigated the globe and helped defeat the Spanish Armada in 1588 through his naval expertise. The defeat of the Spanish Armada marked a decline of Spain's power and the beginning of England's rise as a naval power, allowing it to colonize North America. English colonization efforts in North America began with the unsuccessful Roanoke colony and later the founding of Jamestown in 1607 under King James I.
2.2 french explorers
The document summarizes early French exploration and colonization in North America before 1750. It discusses early explorers like Giovanni Verrazzano and Jacques Cartier who explored the Atlantic coast and claimed land for France in the 1500s. The first permanent French colony of Quebec was established in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain on the St. Lawrence River. French fur traders then expanded exploration of the Great Lakes and Mississippi River regions in the 1600s-1700s, with missionaries like Marquette and Joliet exploring the Mississippi River in 1673. Robert de LaSalle further explored the lower Mississippi in 1682, claiming the entire river basin for France as Louisiana.
2.1_Columbus_and_Exploration
Christopher Columbus sailed west from Spain in 1492 hoping to find a trade route to Asia but instead landed in the Caribbean islands, claiming the region for Spain and beginning European exploration and colonization of the Americas. Subsequent explorers like Vasco da Gama and Amerigo Vespucci further mapped the globe while conquistadors like Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro conquered powerful civilizations in Mexico and Peru, extracting gold and silver that enriched Spain. European diseases also devastated the indigenous populations who had no immunity, making conquest easier.
1.2 europe before_1492
Europe in the 15th century was organized into a feudal hierarchical system with monarchs, nobles, and the Catholic Church at the top and most of the population as peasants. Several factors encouraged European exploration including the Crusades, population growth, the Renaissance, and advances in sailing technology. Prince Henry the Navigator of Portugal sponsored navigators and expeditions down the African coast. The fall of Constantinople cut off European trade routes to Asia, further motivating exploration for new routes.
1.1 peopling the_americas
- The peopling of the Americas began around 40,000 years ago when Asian hunters crossed into Alaska over the Bering land bridge and gradually moved south.
- By around 10,000-5,000 years ago, agricultural civilizations began emerging in Mesoamerica and South America, including the Olmecs, Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas.
- In North America, indigenous groups like the Anasazi, Hohokam, Adena, Hopewell, Mississippians, Cherokee, and Creek established agricultural societies across different regions over thousands of years.
