The Southern Colonies consisted of Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. They shared characteristics of large-scale plantation agriculture relying heavily on African slave labor. Cash crops varied by region, from tobacco in Virginia to rice and indigo in the coastal lowlands further south. Slavery became more permanent and race-based over time as it proved more profitable than the indentured servants originally used. The Triangular Trade system transported goods and slaves among Europe, Africa, and the Americas to support the plantation economies of the Southern Colonies.

The Articles Of Confederation
The document discusses the Articles of Confederation and the problems that arose under that first form of government for the United States. It describes the limited powers granted to the national government and the states' dominance over certain matters. Key issues that weakened the Articles included the inability to tax, lack of control over economic matters, and foreign relations problems due to the nation's lack of unity. The Northwest Ordinance established a process for admitting new states and was one of the Articles' greatest achievements.
New england colonies
The document discusses the history and development of the New England colonies, including:
- The four original New England colonies were Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
- Many early settlers were religious dissenters like the Pilgrims and Puritans who faced persecution in England for their beliefs.
- The Pilgrims established the Plymouth colony with the Mayflower Compact to govern themselves. Their survival was aided by the Native American Squanto.
- The Puritans established the Massachusetts Bay colony, seeking to purify the Anglican church and establish a "city on a hill" as an example. Their communities were tightly-knit and emphasized religious conformity.

While progress has been made, African Americans still face challenges in achieving full equality, justice and equal treatment under the law. More work remains to dismantle systemic racism and ensure all people are treated fairly regardless of race.
Aztec and Inca Civilizations
The Aztec Empire originated in Mexico in the 15th century, establishing their first capital of Tenochtitlan. The Inca Empire began in Peru around the same time, establishing Cuzco as their capital. Both empires grew powerful through conquest, with the Aztec Empire reaching its height under Moctezuma and the Inca Empire under Pachacuti. However, both empires fell in the 16th century with the arrival of Spanish conquistadors like Cortes and Pizarro, who took the leaders hostage and exploited divisions to conquer the much larger empires.
The aztecs
The Aztecs lived in Tenochtitlan, which is now Mexico City, from 1330 to 1521 CE. They had a complex social hierarchy led by emperors, with nobles, priests, and warriors at the top and slaves at the bottom. The average Aztec home consisted of two sections, one for cooking/living and the other for bathing. Maize was a primary food source and was used to make tortillas and tamales. Children learned skills from their parents and faced punishments for misbehavior, though not as harsh as under Hammurabi's laws. Religion played a major role in Aztec society, with gods of war, rain, and agriculture central to their beliefs and rituals.
13 colonies
The document lists differences between the 13 colonies grouped into New England, Middle, and Southern regions. It describes differences in their geography, governments, major industries, and crops. The New England colonies had forests and poor soil, governments that separated church and state, shipbuilding and fishing industries, and grew grains. The Middle colonies had more fertile land and rivers, elected lawmakers, farming and milling, and primarily wheat. The Southern colonies focused on cash crops like tobacco and rice, tied work to receiving food, and benefited from navigable rivers.
New england colonies
The document summarizes the founding and development of the New England colonies. It discusses the establishment of Plymouth Colony by Puritan Pilgrims who signed the Mayflower Compact. It then covers the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and Rhode Island colony, which allowed for more religious toleration. Connecticut established the first written constitution. The colonies relied on industries like trade, fishing, and shipbuilding due to the poor soil. Town hall meetings gave citizens a voice in decision making and representative assemblies passed laws, establishing foundations of American democracy.
About Connecticut Colony .
Connecticut was originally inhabited by several Native American tribes like the Mohegan and Pequot. Early European settlers included the Dutch in 1614 and English colonists from Plymouth in 1633. In 1636, Reverend Thomas Hooker led a group from Massachusetts to found Hartford. The three settlements of Hartford, Windsor, and Wethersfield united in 1639 to form the Connecticut colony with a set of basic laws called the Fundamental Orders, establishing one of the first democratic governments in North America. The economy was based around productive agriculture along the Connecticut River valley and trade of surplus crops, livestock, wood, and furs. Congregationalism became the official and dominant religion.

The Southern Colonies
The document discusses the environment and economy of the Southern Colonies, which included North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Maryland and Virginia. The warm climate was suitable for agriculture and cash crops like tobacco, cotton, indigo and rice grew well, though the heat also brought diseases. Plantations reliant on indentured servants and slaves dominated the economy. Forests and coastal land provided additional natural resources for the colonies.
Maya, Aztec, and Inca
The document provides information about three ancient civilizations - the Maya, Aztec, and Inca. It describes the locations and key features of each, including their religious practices, advances in mathematics and architecture, and their eventual declines. The Maya built cities like Chichen Itza in Mexico and Central America and developed hieroglyphic writing and a calendar. The Aztecs established the city of Tenochtitlan in Mexico and had an empire centered around religious practices like human sacrifice. The Inca ruled from Cuzco in the Andes and built elaborate stone structures and roads while practicing rituals like cranial deformation.
West African Kingdoms
1. Three major West African kingdoms dominated the region from around 300 CE to 1600 CE. Ghana rose first through the gold-salt trade with North Africa, but declined after attacks in the 11th century.
2. Mali then grew to become the largest of the three kingdoms under Mansa Musa's rule in the 14th century. His pilgrimage to Mecca demonstrated Mali's vast wealth. However, internal divisions later weakened Mali.
3. The Songhai Empire subsequently controlled the region from the 1400s-1500s through strong leadership and naval power on the Niger River. But it fell in 1591 when its army was defeated by Moroccan forces using advanced gunpow
Chapter 6 The American Revolution
The document summarizes key events and battles of the American Revolutionary War, including initial fighting in New England, the Second Continental Congress sending the Olive Branch Petition, the Battle of Bunker Hill, the publication of Common Sense, the Declaration of Independence, battles in the middle colonies like Long Island and Trenton, Saratoga turning the tide of the war, Valley Forge, women and African Americans contributing to the Patriot cause, battles in the South like Cowpens and Yorktown, and ultimately Britain recognizing American independence after their surrender at Yorktown. Key figures discussed include Ethan Allen, Thomas Paine, George Washington, and others.
The French and Indian War
The document discusses the origins and key events of the French and Indian War between the French and English in North America from the 1750s to the 1760s. It began as tensions rose between the French and English over territorial expansion in the Ohio Valley. One of the early battles was led by a young George Washington against the French at Fort Necessity. The war then escalated and involved the governments of France and Britain directly. Britain eventually gained control over much of North America after capturing Quebec in 1759. This shifted the balance of power but also increased tensions between the British and American colonists over control of the newly acquired western lands.

The new england, middle, and southern colonies 3.2 8th grade Ms Vanko
The document discusses the characteristics of the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies. The New England colonies focused on small farms, fishing, lumbering and shipbuilding due to their rocky terrain and cold climate. The Middle colonies had a more diverse population and mix of woodlands and farming valleys. The Southern colonies had fertile soil and rivers well-suited for cash crops like tobacco, rice and cotton grown on large plantations worked by indentured servants and slaves.
French Indian War
The document summarizes the key events of the French and Indian War (1756-1763), also known as the Seven Years' War, which was fought between the British and French colonies in North America over control of the Ohio Valley. The war resulted in a British victory and the Treaty of Paris in 1763, in which France ceded its North American territories to Britain. However, the war greatly increased Britain's national debt and its policies towards the colonies after the war frustrated the colonists and contributed to growing tensions that would later erupt in the American Revolutionary War.
Chapter 7 section 1
Immigrants came to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for several reasons, including escaping religious persecution, rising populations in Europe, and lack of work. They came from many regions, including Southern and Eastern Europe arriving on the East Coast, and China and Japan arriving on the West Coast. The journey was difficult, with immigrants traveling in cramped cargo holds of ships and facing harsh conditions at processing stations like Ellis Island and Angel Island. While most immigrants were allowed to enter, some faced discrimination and nativist opposition from groups that favored Anglo-Saxons and objected to certain religious and ethnic groups. This led to the passage of restrictive immigration laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act.
The Thirteen Colonies

the southern colonies
The document summarizes the early English settlement and development of the southern colonies from 1606-1713. It discusses the founding of Jamestown in 1607 by the London Company, the establishment of tobacco as a cash crop there, and the growth of the system of indentured servitude. It also covers the founding of other southern colonies like Maryland, the Carolinas, and Georgia, the shift to slavery as the main labor source, and events like Bacon's Rebellion that shaped the colonial south.
TX History Ch 3.1
Texas has several regions with different landforms and climates. The state is often divided into northern, southern, eastern, and western regions based on location, but some areas like Ft. Worth are considered part of the west due to cultural ties. Parts of Texas fall into four natural regions: the Gulf Coastal Plain, Central Plains, Great Plains, and Intermountain Basins and Plateaus.
French and Indian War
The document summarizes key events of the French and Indian War (1756-1763) and its aftermath, including increased tensions between the British and American colonists. It led to Britain gaining territory in North America and India while deeply increasing its war debts. This caused the British Parliament to pass new taxes and laws to raise revenue from the colonies, sparking conflicts over taxation and representation that contributed to the growing colonial independence movement.
The American people
The document provides information on the different groups of people that make up the American population throughout history. It discusses the Native Americans as the original inhabitants, followed by groups like the British, African Americans, and immigrants from various parts of Europe and Asia at different time periods. It also explores concepts like the "melting pot" view of a shared American culture versus the "mosaic" view of maintaining separate cultural identities within the nation.
The Middle Colonies
The Middle Colonies were founded in the mid-1600s and were located between New England and the Southern colonies. The Dutch originally founded New York as New Netherland, but it came under English control in 1664. New Jersey was established as a proprietary colony by the Duke of York in the 1660s. Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn in 1682 as a place for Quakers to worship freely. The Middle Colonies had a diverse population and economies focused on farming and trade.
US History Ch. 6 Section 2 Notes
Westward expansion had severe impacts on Native Americans. Increased conflicts with settlers led to violence as Native Americans and settlers viewed the land differently. The government forced Native Americans onto reservations to clear land for settlers, but disease, loss of buffalo herds, and broken treaties further undermined Native American cultures and ways of life. Attempts at resistance, like the Battle of Little Bighorn and Wounded Knee massacre, were ultimately crushed. Facing loss of their lands and traditions, the government aimed to assimilate Native Americans through the Dawes Act allotting private land and encouraging adoption of American customs.
Cortes and moctezuma
The Aztecs ruled a large empire in Mexico until the arrival of Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes in 1519. Cortes led a small expedition that was received peacefully by the Aztec ruler Montezuma, but Cortes then launched a surprise attack, killing many Aztecs and capturing Montezuma. Without Montezuma to lead them, the Aztec empire quickly collapsed. European diseases also devastated the native population. Cortes declared himself ruler of Mexico and the surrounding lands, and he lived a life of great wealth while most native people were enslaved or died from disease.
Missouri by A.R.
The U.S. state of Missouri has a population of over 5.8 million people and covers an area of around 180,693 square kilometers. Jefferson City is the capital of Missouri, which has a population of around 40,771. Some of the most interesting places in Missouri include a piece of the Berlin Wall and the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.
French and Indian War
The French and Indian War began in 1754 due to tensions between France and England over control of North America and trade routes. George Washington was defeated by the French at Fort Necessity, driving the British from the Ohio Valley. The war ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which ceded French North American territories to Britain and Spain and redrew colonial boundaries.
Manifest destiny
Manifest Destiny was the belief in the 1800s that the United States was destined to expand across North America to the Pacific Ocean. From 1803 to 1853, the U.S. more than doubled in size through various territorial acquisitions like the Louisiana Purchase, annexation of Texas, and war with Mexico, gaining control of land stretching from coast to coast. This westward expansion was driven by both the desire to spread democracy and economic opportunities like the California Gold Rush of 1849.
Theme 4. English Colonies of North America
The document summarizes the history of several English colonies in North America:
- Virginia was established in 1606 but the early colonists faced death, disease and conflict with Native Americans. Tobacco eventually became a profitable crop.
- Population and tobacco cultivation grew, causing conflicts with Native Americans over land.
- Maryland was established in 1632, developing royal and proprietary systems of government. Virginia and Maryland's growth improved England's trade balance.
- Carolina prevailed through the gun and slave trade, but Native American groups like the Yamasee rebelled due to enslavement and raiding by English traders.
- Georgia was founded in 1733 to reform English poor, but later adopted slavery like other colonies.

Enslaved Africans were brought to the Americas beginning in the 1500s by Spanish and Portuguese settlers, with slavery later spreading to British, Dutch, and French colonies. Over 10 million enslaved Africans were transported in the brutal Middle Passage, where many died due to poor conditions. In the colonies, enslaved Africans faced auction and family separation, with laws restricting their rights. African culture influenced colonial American culture through crafts, music, and folktales.

Introduction and development of slavery in the thirteen american colonies
The introduction of slavery began in the American colonies in 1619 when a Dutch trader sold 20 African slaves to settlers in Jamestown, Virginia. Slavery expanded greatly over the following centuries as the plantation economy grew in the Southern colonies, fueled by the demand for cotton and other crops. By the late 1700s, over half a million slaves lived in the colonies, mostly in the South. Abolitionist movements gained traction in the late 1700s and early 1800s, but the Constitution did not ban slavery and it continued to be legally institutionalized across the South.
African-American History ~ Week Two Lecture
The document discusses the development of African-American culture from the period of slavery in colonial America. It notes that slavery began slowly but increased dramatically after 1675 as the slave population grew to meet labor demands on plantations. During this period, African cultural practices mixed with European and Native American influences to form a distinct African-American culture, seen in musical traditions, folk tales, Christianity and language. While slaves were found across British North America, the South developed a "slave society" dependent on the institution of slavery more so than other regions.
Borderlands & Middle Grounds
Spain was the dominant European power in the Americas in the early 1700s. England established colonies in the Caribbean and North America to compete for territory and resources. The Caribbean saw competition and conflict between the English, Spanish, French, and Dutch for land. English colonies like Barbados and Jamaica relied heavily on sugar cane plantations worked by African slaves, as slave labor was needed due to the difficult and intensive nature of sugar production. As the plantation economy grew, the number of slaves greatly outnumbered white settlers. The triangular slave trade between Africa, the Caribbean and North American colonies contributed to this system of plantation agriculture.
American colonies
The Carolinas were created as a new colony north of Florida and south of the Chesapeake Bay to honor King Charles II. It included North and South Carolina and later Georgia. To increase colonists and economic development, the Lords Proprietor offered settlers large land grants and freedom of religion. The colonist population grew from 200 to over 6,600. Native Americans were turned into slave catchers and traded animal hides, slaves, and guns with the colonists in exchange for goods like cloth and rum. Georgia was established as a new colony south of the Savannah River by the Georgia Trustees to alleviate English poverty, initially prohibiting slavery, though it was later permitted which increased the population.

The document summarizes the colonial history of Virginia and Maryland from the initial English settlement of Jamestown in 1607 through the 1700s. It describes the struggles of the early Jamestown colony, the transition to tobacco agriculture and development of the plantation system, the growing importation and use of African slaves, conflicts with Native Americans, and the founding of Maryland as a colony with religious toleration. Regional economic and social differences emerged between the Southern colonies, which relied on plantation agriculture and slavery, and the smaller family farms of North Carolina.

The document summarizes the founding of Georgia by the British in the early 18th century. It was established in 1733 by General James Oglethorpe as a buffer colony between South Carolina and Spanish Florida. The colony was governed by 21 trustees and had the stated goals of relieving unemployment, providing resources for Britain, and defense. Unstated was providing a home for persecuted Protestants. The document outlines the establishment of Savannah and other settlements, conflicts over land ownership restrictions and slavery bans imposed by the trustees, and wars with Spain in the 1730s-40s. In 1752, Georgia became a royal colony under direct control of the British crown.
Hogan's History- English Colonies
The English established colonies along the eastern coast of North America in the early 1600s. The Virginia Company founded Jamestown in 1607 as the first permanent English settlement, though it faced many hardships in its early years. John Smith's leadership helped the colony survive. Tobacco later became a lucrative cash crop. African slaves were introduced to the colony in 1619 and the plantation system became dependent on slave labor. The House of Burgesses established the first representative legislative body in the colonies. The New England colonies focused on fishing, whaling, and trade due to poor soil and short growing seasons.
Chapter 2 - The Planting of English America
The document summarizes England's growing imperial ambitions in North America in the late 1500s and early 1600s. It discusses early failed English colonization attempts and the founding of Jamestown in 1607. It then outlines the development of the early English colonies in North America, including the establishment of joint-stock companies, the growth of tobacco cultivation, the introduction of slavery from the West Indies, and the founding of other colonies like Maryland, the Carolinas, and Georgia through the 1700s.
13 Colonies.pptx
The document provides information about the 13 original colonies in British North America:
- The colonies are divided into three regions: New England (Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire), Middle (New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware), and Southern (Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia).
- Each region had distinct economies and populations. The New England colonies focused on farming, fishing, and shipbuilding. The Middle colonies welcomed religious diversity and had important port cities. The Southern colonies' economies centered around plantation agriculture and slave labor.
Chapter 4 Thirteen English Colonies
The document summarizes life in the 13 English colonies during the 17th and 18th centuries. It describes the founding and development of the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies. Key aspects covered include the religious motivations for different colonies, forms of government and rights that emerged, the growth of slavery, and social hierarchies that developed in colonial society.
Englishslideshow
The document discusses the early English colonies in North America, including the Chesapeake colonies, New England Puritan colonies, and the Carolina colonies. It describes the social hierarchies and governments that developed in the Chesapeake colonies and the divisions that led to Bacon's Rebellion. It also discusses the interactions between Puritan settlers and Native Americans, including the Pequot War. Finally, it summarizes the founding of the Carolina colonies and the development of their economies based on cash crops like rice and indigo cultivated by African slaves.
The English in North America
The document summarizes the English colonization of North America, focusing on Virginia, New England, and Carolina. It describes the founding and early struggles of Jamestown in Virginia in 1607. It then discusses the Puritan pilgrims who founded Plymouth in 1620 and larger Puritan migration to Massachusetts Bay in the 1630s. The document also outlines the establishment of Carolina in the 1670s, the division into North and South Carolina, and the development of the plantation system focused on rice and indigo production by the 1760s.
Theme4 part2
The document summarizes the history of the Chesapeake and Carolina colonies in North America. In the Chesapeake colonies, power was concentrated among wealthy planters involved in tobacco cultivation. Settlements were small and the population was predominantly male, with few women. Most emigrants were English indentured servants, while African slaves made up a small minority. Conditions were difficult. In Carolina, the land was officially owned by English lords but attracted settlers from Barbados. The colony relied on trading with and enslaving local Native Americans, and began cultivating rice and later indigo with slave labor on large plantations.
Lt tensions over slavery
The document discusses the origins and development of slavery in colonial America. It describes how Africans were captured and brought to the colonies through the transatlantic slave trade. Initially, indentured servitude was more common than slavery, but Bacon's Rebellion and the increasing profitability of slave labor led plantation owners to replace indentured servants with enslaved Africans. Laws were passed in Virginia and other colonies in the 1600s-1700s that defined the legal status of slaves as property and restricted their rights. The Royal African Company played a key role in expanding the British slave trade during this period.
Album of the american colonies

It provides details on the conquests of the Inca and Aztec empires by Spain and the introduction of diseases that killed most indigenous populations. It also discusses the different types of colonies established by each European nation and the impact of colonization on Native Americans.
Slavery in Jamaica [Autosaved]
Slavery played a pivotal role in Jamaica's history from the 16th century onwards. As the British developed large sugar plantations in the 17th-18th centuries, Jamaica's population shifted from majority native Taino people to over 300,000 enslaved Africans supporting the sugar industry by 1800. Enslaved people faced brutal conditions and oppression, leading to numerous rebellions against slavery. The growth of abolitionist sentiment in Britain along with the scale of the 1831 Christmas Rebellion contributed to the final emancipation of all enslaved people in Jamaica in 1838.
Colonization - Early American Culture slides.pptx

Identifying people
This document provides instructions and examples for how to properly identify important historical figures by including who they are, what they did and when, and why they are historically significant. It demonstrates this format by identifying Barack Obama as the first African American President of the United States in 2009. Another example identifies Christopher Columbus as the sailor who sailed west across the Atlantic in 1492 seeking a route to Asia, leading to an exchange of people and ideas between hemispheres. The document then asks the reader to identify several other important explorers and conquistadors using this same format.

1. Today's assignment asks students to answer questions about where they are located and how to get there from various places, and provide short summaries of two theories about how humans first arrived in North America - the land-bridge theory and coastal route theory.
2. Students will read passages from their textbooks in pairs, looking for evidence supporting the land-bridge theory and reasons for the coastal route theory and Native American stories.
3. They will then turn in two Twitter-length summaries - one explaining the land-bridge theory and one explaining the coastal route theory.
What i did on my summer vacation-Common Core Etc
This document summarizes Tony Odom's experiences at the 2014 Global Academic Essentials Teacher Institute held at Mississippi State University from June 1-30. The institute focused on Common Core standards, technology, and 21st century skills. Some of the topics covered included debunking myths about Common Core, emphasizing skills like critical thinking over just reading, using technology to flip the classroom and make teaching easier, and classroom tools for assessments, assignments, and safe student activities.
European americapart2
Major European colonial powers in the Western Hemisphere in the 1500s-1700s included Spain, Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Portugal. They made land claims and established colonies in North America and South America during this period. The colonies of each country had distinct characteristics in terms of location, religion, economy, and society. Conflicts arose between the colonial powers particularly over control of the fur trade and trade in the Caribbean, which eventually contributed to the 13 British colonies rebelling and forming the United States.
Indian removal
This document summarizes the forced removal of Native American tribes from the Southeast region of the United States in the 1830s under the Indian Removal Act. It outlines the five main tribes affected - the Cherokees, Choctaws, Creeks, Chickasaws, and Seminoles. It describes how the Cherokees and Choctaws lost their lands, with the Cherokees unsuccessfully fighting removal in the Supreme Court. It concludes that Indian removal was driven by non-Native Americans wanting their lands, not because the tribes refused to adopt Western ways.
The two faces of benedict arnold
Benedict Arnold was one of the most able and talented officers in the early Continental Army, leading successful campaigns to capture Fort Ticonderoga and leading the American forces to victory at Saratoga. However, he felt passed over for promotion and was deeply in debt, which led him to plot to surrender the heavily defended West Point fort to the British in exchange for a commission in the British Army. The plot was discovered just before he could complete the surrender. Arnold fled to New York to join the British as a general. He is considered one of the most notorious traitors in American history.
The french and_indian_war
The French and Indian War began as a series of conflicts between England, France, and Spain from 1689 to 1754 over territorial claims in North America. England and France both claimed the Ohio River Valley, leading George Washington to fire on French soldiers in 1754, sparking open war. The British captured the key French forts of Duquesne and Montreal by 1760, gaining control of most of North America east of the Mississippi River but also accumulating massive war debts. To help pay these debts and maintain control, Parliament began taxing the American colonies through acts like the Sugar Act, Quartering Act, and Stamp Act in 1764-1765, fueling colonial opposition and resentment.
European america
The document summarizes the Columbian Exchange and the establishment of European colonies in North America between the 1500s-1600s. It describes the global exchange of crops, foods and ideas that resulted from Columbus' voyages, including staples like corn, potatoes and chocolate being introduced to Europe. It then outlines the major colonial powers that established claims and settlements in North America - Spain, Britain, France, the Netherlands and Portugal - and provides brief overviews of the locations, economies, religions and societies of their respective colonies. Conflicts began emerging between colonial powers over trade, territorial disputes and piracy in the Caribbean and North America.
The protestant reformation
The Protestant Reformation began in 1517 when Martin Luther publicly challenged certain Catholic Church doctrines and practices. He was troubled by the Church selling indulgences to lessen time in purgatory and believed salvation came through faith alone, not works. Henry VIII later formed the Church of England in 1534 when the Pope refused to annul his marriage. John Calvin furthered the Reformation by believing in predestination and advocating for a life without sin. The Reformation ultimately led to the formation of new Protestant denominations like Lutherans, Puritans, Baptists, Presbyterians, and others.
Conquest of paradise
The document summarizes the conquest of the Aztec and Inca empires by Spanish conquistadors in the 1500s. It describes the Aztecs and Incas, who lived in Central America and the Andes respectively, and their cultures. It then outlines how Hernan Cortes conquered the Aztecs in the 1520s and Francisco Pizarro conquered the Incas in the 1530s, taking advantage of disease and technology. It also briefly discusses other Spanish explorations and the social hierarchy that developed under Spanish rule in the Americas.
Alien invasion
The document describes Columbus' arrival in the Americas in 1492 and questions whether this was truly the first contact between European and indigenous peoples. It provides several examples of possible early contacts, such as Viking settlements in Canada in 1000 AD, Olmec stone heads resembling Africans, and alloys used by Native Americans matching those in Africa. The document suggests Europeans were motivated to find trade routes to Asia in search of valuable spices following increased demand after the Crusades exposed them to Asian goods. Portugal succeeded in reaching Asia by sailing around Africa, so Spain took a chance on reaching Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic.
Crash Course in Early Western Civ.
The document provides background on religions, governments, and civilizations in Europe, Africa, and Asia prior to 1492. It discusses the origins and influences of Judaism, Christianity, Greek democracy, and Roman republicanism. It describes the major empires in Africa and trade networks between Asia, Africa, and Europe. It summarizes the divisions in Christianity in Europe, the Renaissance in Italy, Portugal's explorations down the African coast, and Christopher Columbus's proposal to reach Asia by sailing west.
Native american cultures
The document outlines the seven main Native American culture groups - Southeastern, Eastern Woodlands, Great Plains, Southwestern, Arctic/Subarctic, California/Great Basin, and Northwest Coast. Each section provides details on the location and tribal groups of each culture, as well as how they survived through activities like farming, hunting, fishing, and nomadic hunting. Overall, the document categorizes and describes the different Native American cultures based on their geographical regions.
Native america
Native Americans began farming corn and other crops around 7000 years ago, enabling them to settle in one place rather than wander for food. Years of agriculture led to a food surplus, which allowed the development of advanced civilizations with occupations, long distance trade, and cities. Major Native American civilizations that arose due to surplus food included the Olmec, Maya, Inca, Aztec, Moundbuilders, and Pueblo peoples.
Native origins
The document discusses the theory that the first Americans migrated to North and South America across a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska during the last Ice Age. While this "Land-Bridge Theory" was widely accepted, newer evidence has challenged this view. Archaeological sites in South America and the Pacific Northwest have been dated to over 14,500 years old, earlier than presumed migration occurred. Additionally, some skeletal and artifact findings suggest the possibility of ancient migrations by boat from Europe or across the Pacific. Overall, the evidence continues to accumulate and revise scientific understanding of how and when the first people settled in the Americas.
The americas1
The document summarizes the physical geography of North and South America, including their location between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, bordering oceans and mountain ranges. It also outlines the major river systems, including the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence River, the Mississippi River system, and the Amazon River Basin. Finally, it briefly describes the seven regions of the United States and provides test questions about locating these regions and their component states.
Logic
1) The document discusses how to establish the authenticity and validity of someone's knowledge claims through evidence and logical reasoning.
2) It provides examples of evidence such as documentation and eyewitnesses that can be used to verify someone's identity and claims.
3) Common logical fallacies like hasty generalizations, circular reasoning, and false dichotomies are explained, which can undermine the logical reasoning behind someone's knowledge claims if present.
Critical thinking
Critical thinking involves asking clarifying questions to fully understand concepts, asking for evidence to back up claims, and not being intimidated when pushing for more information. It is not about thinking a lot without focus or being inherently smarter, but rather listening carefully and questioning to gain a deeper understanding. Effective questions acknowledge what is already understood and identify sources of confusion, rather than vague inquiries, to make progress on difficult topics through discussion and evidence.
Slaveryexpansion
The document summarizes key events between 1820-1860 that heightened tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery and led to Southern states beginning to secede from the Union. Some of the major events included the Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowing Missouri to enter as a slave state while banning slavery north of 36°30', the Mexican-American War and annexation of Texas expanding slavery, the Compromise of 1850 admitting California as a free state while strengthening the Fugitive Slave Act, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 establishing popular sovereignty, and the Dred Scott decision of 1857 declaring that Congress could not regulate slavery in the territories.

Southern colonies
- 2. Virginia Began in 1607 at Jamestown. First permanent English colony in North America. Named for Queen Elizabeth of England (The Virgin Queen - had no husband). Principal cities: Jamestown, Williamsburg. First to have elected representative body (House of Burgesses - a fore-runner of the Congress)
- 3. Maryland Founded by Lord Baltimore, an English nobleman who was also a Catholic. Colony was intended to be a haven for Catholics, but allowed all Christian faiths to be practiced there (like most colonies, it did not permit Jews). Principal cities: Baltimore, Annapolis
- 4. Carolina (North and South) Founded in 1670 at Charles Town (Charleston). Named for the English King Charles II ("Charles" in English = "Carol" in Latin). Dispute over who should rule the colony led to complete division into North and South Carolina in 1712. North Carolina was made up of mostly poor tobacco farmers while South Carolina was run by wealthy rice plantation owners. Principal cities: Charleston (SC), Wilmington (NC)
- 5. Georgia Last of the original 13 colonies. Founded in 1733 by James Ogelthorpe as a haven for debtors (people in jail for owing money). Intended to be a silk-producing colony where slavery would be banned. It was to act as a buffer to protect South Carolina's slave-based economy from interference by Spanish Florida (where slavery was banned and the governor often offered incentives for British slaves who ran away). Silk failed, rice plantations took over, Georgia became a clone of South Carolina....with all of South Carolina's vulnerabilities as they pertained to slavery.
- 6. Shared characteristics of Southern Colonies -large-scale, cash crop, plantation- based agriculture, primarily centered on coastal areas. (Tobacco in the northern parts, rice and indigo in the southern parts) -heavy reliance on African slavery
- 7. Slavery in the 13 colonies At first, plantations were worked by indentured servants, poor whites from Europe who agreed to basically be slaves for 7 years in exchange for passage to America. Europeans were no match for African slaves, whose knowledge of things like rice production made them particularly valuable. As slavery made plantations more profitable, slavery became more permanent and race-based. slavery existed in all colonies (except Pennsylvania) but was most predominant in the South.
- 8. The Triangular Trade Rum, manufactured goods (tools, guns) from the England and the 13 colonies went to West Africa in exchange for slaves. Slaves from West Africa were traded in the Caribbean for molasses and sugar. Molasses and sugar from the Caribbean were traded in England and the 13 Colonies for Rum and manufactured goods. ...and the process repeats.
