It describes how the discovery of America by Columbus and conquests by the Spanish led to wealth that privateers and pirates sought to capture. Notable pirates mentioned include Francis Drake, John Hawkins, Martin Frobisher, Henry Morgan, and Blackbeard. Pirate ships were often run as democracies, with captains elected and spoils shared equally. Piracy declined as European powers sought to protect trade in the late 17th century.
Sir Francis Drake was a British explorer, privateer, and naval officer born in Devonshire, England between 1540-1543. He was the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe between 1577-1580 aboard the Golden Hind. Drake defeated the Spanish Armada in 1588 and plundered Spanish ships and towns. He died of dysentery off the coast of Panama in 1596 while on a treasure voyage.
Francis Drake was an English seafarer and vice-admiral who was the first British person to circumnavigate the globe. He was born in Devonshire, England and became a ship's boy at age 12. Drake led many expeditions, including attacking Spanish ports along the Pacific coast of South America in 1577 on behalf of Queen Elizabeth I. He explored the coast as far north as modern-day Vancouver. Drake died of dysentery in 1596 while on an expedition in the West Indies.
Philip II of Spain assembled a fleet of 130 ships called the Spanish Armada in 1588 with the goal of escorting Spanish troops from the Netherlands to invade England. The commander of the Armada was the Duke of Medina Sidonia, an aristocrat without naval experience. The English fleet, under better commanders like Francis Drake, harried the Armada as it sailed near England. Many Spanish ships were damaged and the Armada was scattered by fireships in a night attack. Unable to rendezvous with the Spanish troops in the Netherlands, the damaged Armada sailed around Scotland and Ireland in storms, losing over a third of its ships, in a decisive victory for English Protestantism over Spanish Catholic power.
This document discusses the qualities of an adventurer and the life of Sir Francis Drake, an English privateer and admiral from the 16th century. It lists five qualities an adventurer should have and details Drake's early life, successes including circumnavigating the globe from 1577-1580, battles against the Spanish Armada, and death from dysentery in 1596. It prompts the reader to consider other adventurers and if they themselves could be considered an adventurer.
Drake was born in England in 1540 and went to sea as an apprentice on a freighter at a young age. He became a privateer sailing for England to fight against Spain, attacking Spanish ships and settlements. Drake famously circumnavigated the globe from 1577 to 1580, becoming the first Englishman to accomplish this feat. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth after destroying the Spanish Armada that sailed up the English Channel in 1588. Drake encountered Native Californians and died while on a voyage against the Spanish in 1596.
21.1 - Spain’s Empire and European AbsolutismDan Ewert
King Philip II of Spain presided over the height of the Spanish Empire in the 16th century, as Spain extracted vast amounts of gold and silver from its American colonies. However, several factors led to the decline of Spain's empire in the following centuries, including inflation from the influx of precious metals, a weak manufacturing base, costly wars to put down rebellions in the Netherlands and Portugal, and attacks on Spanish shipping by privateers from England and other countries. By the late 1600s, Spain was facing financial troubles and the rise of absolutism in Europe as monarchies centralized power.

The document summarizes Britain's early colonial efforts in North America, beginning with the late start of British settlements compared to other European powers like Spain and France. It then discusses some of the earliest British explorers like John Cabot and Sir Walter Raleigh. Francis Drake gained riches for Queen Elizabeth by raiding Spanish ports in North America. The document also covers early failed colonial attempts by Humphrey Gilbert and at Roanoke colony, which disappeared mysteriously. It concludes with the founding of Jamestown in 1607 and the "Starving Time" that nearly caused the colony to fail before it became self-sustaining through John Smith's leadership.
The document provides an overview of Georgian Britain from the early 18th century to the early 19th century. It discusses key events and developments, including:
1) The rule of the first three King Georges and the rise of Robert Walpole as the first Prime Minister.
2) Scientific and technological advances during this period, including discoveries in chemistry and the emergence of the Industrial Revolution.
3) Britain's increasing global power through territorial expansion and military victories over France during the Napoleonic Wars.
This document provides context about early colonial settlements in North America between the 15th and 17th centuries. It discusses the Columbian Exchange and trade routes that emerged after 1492. Specific commodities traded are highlighted, such as gold, silver, cochineal dye from beetles, and beaver pelts. The establishment of colonies by several European powers is also summarized, including the Spanish and Portuguese in Mexico and South America, the Dutch colony of New Netherlands (New York), the French colony of New France (Canada), and the Puritan colonies in New England. Challenges between colonists and Native Americans, such as King Philip's War, are briefly described.
Sir Francis Drake was born in 1540 in a cottage and died in 1596. He began his naval career in 1549 as an apprentice on ships sailing the English Channel. In 1567, Drake commanded the Judith on his second expedition. From 1570 to 1573, he raided Spanish ships along the coast of South and Central America, making himself infamous. In 1577, Drake set out on his famous circumnavigation of the globe aboard the Golden Hind, becoming the first Englishman to sail around the world. Upon returning to England in 1580, Drake brought back a rich cargo that included spices, precious metals, jewels, silks, porcelain, and maps, delivering a great economic and patriotic
Spain became wealthy in the 1500s from gold and silver from its colonies, but this wealth led to inflation. King Philip II led Spain's defeat of the Ottoman Empire at Lepanto but failed to invade England with the Spanish Armada. By the 1600s, Spain faced revolts, high military costs, and pirates attacking its trade. Its empire declined as money flowed to other European nations. Meanwhile, other European monarchs consolidated power through absolutism, claiming divine right to rule without limits.
1. Georgian Britain, named after King George I, II, and III, was a period of great beauty and scientific discovery from the early 1700s to the late 1700s.
2. Robert Walpole emerged as the first de facto Prime Minister under King George I and II, helping Britain recover from debt and war through economic policies despite taking bribes.
3. The Industrial Revolution transformed Britain's economy and society through new inventions in agriculture, mining, and manufacturing that allowed Britain to become a global industrial power.
The Atlantic Proletariat”U.S. Labor and Work - 201Week 2P.docxmehek4
The “Atlantic Proletariat”
U.S. Labor and Work - 201
Week 2
Prof. Brucher
What does “Proletariat” mean?
From the Latin proletarius: a person having no wealth or property and only served the state by producing offspring.
By the mid-17th century “proletarian” and “proletariat” were used in English to describe common workers.
Today, these terms are used to describe the working class in broad terms.
Why call it the“Atlantic Proletariat”?
Social historians argue that a wide-ranging group of workers provided the labor necessary for colonial expansion in the Atlantic economy of the Americas from the time of contact between European, African, and Native American Peoples.
Who were the Atlantic Proletariat?
Indentured Servants
Slaves
Dispossessed commoners
Transported felons
Religious radicals
Urban laborers
Soldiers
Sailors
Pirates
Native Americans
Why focus on workers?
Of course, we can look at other factors when studying the Atlantic economy:
Technological advancement and knowledge driving exploration (better sailing ships, navigation methods, etc.).
Agricultural advancement (cultivating crops).
Political developments fuelling expansion and trade (see textbook chapter 1!).
Religious motivations (Spanish, Portuguese, and French Catholic missionaries, English religious dissenters, etc.).
Why focus on workers?
Ordinary workers did the labor that was essential to the rise of the Atlantic economy from the 16th through 19th centuries, which in turn fueled the growth of the modern global economy.
At the same time, many members of the Atlantic Proletariat tried to resist or adapt to conditions that were often brutal, violent, and inhumane.
Processes that help create the Atlantic Proletariat
Expropriation: The seizure of common property used by the many (ordinary people) and put in the hands of the few (governments/kingdoms, colonial corporations). Examples:
Spanish conquistadors seizing lands in the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and South America to create enconmiendas controlled by wealthy Spanish landlords under the Spanish crown.
Wealthy lords enclosing the commons (shared agricultural lands used by poor communities) in Great Britain.
English corporations like the Virginia Company that set up agricultural colonies on the east coast, claiming property for themselves and the English crown.
Processes that help create the Atlantic Proletariat
Exploitation: The act of mistreating someone to benefit from their labor. The work involved in expropriation was particularly exploitative:
Encomiendas: Native Americans forced to work for the Spanish landlords, clearing land and harvesting crops. African slaves later imported to the Spanish colonies.
Enclosing the commons: Poor people kicked people off the land, forcing them to become tenant farmers, move to the cities for work, or become indentured servants in America. Poor people also imprisoned and forced to work; many sent to work as sailors or to work in the Americas.

The document summarizes several notable English explorers in the 15th-16th centuries:
- John Cabot was the first, sailing under the English flag in 1497 and exploring Newfoundland before being lost at sea.
- Francis Drake gained fame by raiding Spanish ships and settlements in the 1570s, becoming the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe.
- Sir Walter Raleigh unsuccessfully established the Roanoke colony in present-day North Carolina and organized further colonial ventures.
- Henry Hudson explored the Arctic and northeastern North America, with geographic features like the Hudson River and Bay named after him.

2. Sir Francis Drake was an English explorer, sea captain,
privateer, navigator, slaver, and politician of the
Elizabethan era.
Drake is famous for he carried out the second
circumnavigation (travelling all the way around the
planet) in a single expedition, from 1577 to 1580.
For which later Elizabeth I of England awarded Drake a
knighthood.
His exploits were legendary, making him a hero to the
English but a pirate to Spain.
The king of Spain (1554-98) Philip II also offered a
bounty of £4 million (US$6.5M) for Drake’s life.
Drake also happens to be the second wealthiest pirate
ever.
3. Drake was born in Devon, England.
His exact date of birth is unknown but it is said to be
some where between 1540-1544.
He was born to Edmund Drake a farmer and was the
eldest of 12 sons.
Drake's father apprenticed Francis when he was 12 to
his neighbour, the master of a huge sailing ship.
This ship was used for trading and transporting
merchandises to France.
The ship master was very much satisfied with the young
Drake's talents and ability to sail
The ship master was unmarried and had no family so
after his death Drake owned the ship.
4. Sailing Career
At age 23, Drake made his first voyage to the
America, sailing with his brother.
He was soon enlisted as a British privateer. He
would guard the coast and seized many illegal
merchant ships.
Drake had captured many Spanish ships and
since the Spanish and British were rivals he
simply became a respected and famous English
figure.
5. Now that Drake had become famous, he was
supported by the queen to raid Spanish
treasure and war ships and their overseas
colonies coasts all over the world.
The queen provided him expense, comrades,
crew and also a better ship.
Drake had performed this very well and had
also carried out circumnavigation of the world
in three years in the process of this.
6.
7. King of Spain Philip II was furious over the
actions of Drake for which he placed the a
bounty and became an infamous pirate for
the Spaniards.
With time passing by the Anglo-Spanish
relations became worse and soon Philip II
declared war on Britain.
The queen again appointed Drake as an very
important figure in the war.
He was appointed as the chief in command
with 20 ships under command.
8. Slave Trading
Drake apart from being a sailor was also a pioneer
in slave trading.
He had made three great expeditions to western
Africa, making fortunes through the abduction and
transportation of West African people, and then
exchanging them for high-value goods and wealth.
The kidnapping and forced transportation of people
was a criminal offence under English law at the
time, but legal protection did not extend to slaves,
non-Protestants or criminals and thus did not effect
him or his reputation.
9. Political career
Drake also had quite an political career, by the
help of his fame.
In September 1581, Drake became the Mayor
of Plymouth.
And was also a member of parliament in 1581,
for an unknown constituency (possibly
Camelford), and again in 1584 for Bossiney
and Plymouth in 1593.
10. Death
In 1955s he failed to conquer the port of Las Palmas, and
he again suffered a number of defeats, he unsuccessfully
attacked San Juan de Puerto Rico, eventually losing the
Battle.
The Spanish gunners shot a cannonball through the cabin
of Drake and he survived.
But after a few weeks later, in January 1596, he died of
dysentery when he was about 55 in Panama.
This caused the English fleets to withdraw.
Before dying, he asked to be dressed in his full armour. He
was buried at the sea in a lead coffin.
Divers continue to search for the coffin even today.
