3 I. Rival Imperial Models: Spain, France, and Holland A. New Spain: Colonization and Conversion 1. Franciscan Missions and Indian Revolts Franciscans encouraged the Christianization “Comprehensive Orders for New Discoveries” (1573) charged missionaries with pacification of the peoples friars established missions in Florida and Neuvo Mexico learned native languages but violently attacked cultural differences (polygamy, religious idols) sold some native peoples into slavery encouraged Indians to adopt Spanish culture initially Indians were trusting; when Christian prayer failed them they sought help from ancestral gods; massive reduction in Pueblo population in southwest as a result of European disease, forced tribute, and raids by other Indian groups. 2.

5 I. Rival Imperial Models: Spain, France, and Holland A. New Spain: Colonization and Conversion 2. Popé and the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 revolt led by Indian shaman Popé killed more than 400 Spanish and forced 1,500+ colonists to flee the Sante Fe region for El Paso Popé wanted to restore Indian traditions to the area and destroy any signs of Spanish civilization within ten years the Spanish were re-asserting control over the Pueblos failed rebellion followed in 1696 to reduce their labor, the Pueblos eventually settled with the Spanish agreed to speak Spanish, follow patrilineal kinship system, and defend Nuevo Mexico against Apaches and Comanches; marriages between Spanish men and Pueblo women produced “mestizo” (bicultural) offspring; Pueblos never completely assimilated.

10 I. Rival Imperial Models: Spain, France, and Holland B. New France: Fur Traders and Missionaries 1.The Rise of the Iroquois – cold weather made New France (eastern Canada) less desirable for migrants than Nuevo Mexico – French government discouraged migration and offered conditions favorable to peasants remaining in Europe – land of New France was ripe for fur acquisition: mink, otter, beaver could be exported to Europe and sold for clothing – Five Iroquois Nations bartered with French and Dutch traders for European guns – Iroquois grew their population quickly and became powerful with the use of European weapons; aggressively attacked other groups, ritually killing the men and capturing women and children. 1.The Jesuit Missions

Indentured Servants by 1700 more than 100,000 English migrants had come to Chesapeake as indentured servants many were men seeking land and opportunity who could not afford passage some were women all were valuable but severely exploited many died before their indenture had ended those who survived rarely received what had been promised. 2. African Laborers

30 II. The English Arrive in the Chesapeake B. Masters, Servants, and Slaves 2. African Laborers 1619 John Rolfe noted first Africans sold in the Chesapeake at first these men were not legally enslaved by 1660s status was changing value of tobacco declined and landowners desired ways to make a profit despite declining prices African labor was “cheaper” than white labor, they concluded residents of the Chesapeake became increasingly race conscious, referring to color white/black.

Berkeley gave large land grants to members of his council, who then exempted the land from taxation – House of Burgesses took away voting rights from landless freemen (half of adult white men in the colony). 1.Indians and Frontiersmen 2.Nathaniel Bacon, Rebel Leader

36 II. The English Arrive in the Chesapeake C.Bacon’s Rebellion 2.Indians and Frontiersmen – violent struggles in 1670s left complex legacy: decrease in class conflict among whites, increasing violence against Native Americans, and racial divisions as slave imports rose substantially – competition for land on the Virginia frontier worsened relations with the small population of native peoples – whites demanded that Indians be expelled from the region – 1675 group of Virginia militiamen killed 30 Indians – violence erupted between the groups – Berkeley proposed a series of forts along the frontier to deter Indian “intrusions” into Virginia. 1.Nathaniel Bacon, Rebel Leader

37 II.
