Chapter 15 Lesson 3 European Colonization Europeans in the Americas

The Americas Before Contact Native population = 50 to 100 million Approximately Native American tribes Highly organized societies (villages and semi-nomadic)

The First “Settlements” American Indians settled the Americas approx. 40,000 years ago 1565 Spain established a fort at St. Augustine in Florida (oldest European settlement in North America) The Spanish introduced horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, and new vocabulary (mustang, bronco, rodeo) to the Americas Spain Horrible Histories: American Report

The Effects of Contact 80 to 100 % of Native American populations wiped out by European diseases (such as smallpox and measles) Why? - Native Americans were geographically cut off from these diseases - did not live in large cities or have contact w/ different people Results: - Europeans encountered fewer Native Americans = less resistance - Europeans took Native American territories with ease and made it their own

Smallpox

Relations At first some on both sides were friendly As more Europeans arrived relations began to change Europeans begin enslaving Natives Europeans Change in Thinking God is on our side Natives are uncivilized

Why Europeans Left Europe Wealth = gold in the “new world” Land and resources Religious Freedom Adventure and a new beginning

European Colonization With smaller populations of Natives and more advanced weapons Europeans began to colonize the Americas Colonies - Settlements in conquered lands; physically separate from, but under control of another country Mercantilism – an economic policy used in colonies; a country uses colonies to obtain raw materials to make into products.
