1400-1600 C.E. Slide 2 C.E. means Common Era. B.C.E. means Before the Common Era. We dont use A.D. and B.C. any more. Slide 3 The bubonic plague or the Black Death took about of the population. Many other religions were blamed. While death is sad, resources had been scarce. What does that mean? More land, cheaper prices, better wages, and trade expanded. This produces goods and wealth. Which then produce technology and colonies. Slide 4 Nobles start to be more and more important. They also have more control, and bigger pieces of land. Expansion starts in Africa, and the Portuguese are the first to really start trade there. The Portuguese tried to colonize, but disease and organization of people said no! Slaves were the #1 commodity. Slide 5 Islands like the Canaries were good for sugar growing. Slaves were to work the land. As Columbus was moving into North America, the Spanish were in South America. The Aztecs were similar to the Spanish. Due to disease and better technology, the Spanish conquer both the Aztecs and the Incas. Slide 6 People, plants, and animals between Europe, Africa, and North Americabut that wasnt all they exchanged. Small pox, malaria, and syphilis are problems. The Spanish leaders were not letting the conquerors rule the New World however. Natives paid the price through labor. Tons of silver in Mexico and Peru. During 1500s 16,000 tons exported. Much of it to Spain. Slide 7 Slide 8 Spanish felt sure there was another Aztec or Incan Empire out there. They dont do as well in North America. Back in Europe there is division. Indulgences started in the 13 th C in the Catholic church. Some dont agree with this. Slide 9 Believed the church was in trouble. German monk, preached salvation was Gods gift. 95 Theses-only God can forgive sins, man can not. Caused the Reformation, and perhaps helped spur pilgrimage to the New World.

French followers called themselves Huguenots, and sought freedom in New World. Slide 11 Henry the VIII Married Catherine of Aragon Wants a divorce. King of Spain enraged (her nephew), and pope Clement VI says no. Forms Church of Englandand gets his divorce. Son rules for a little while, but dies. However Catherine had a daughter Slide 12 Mary his daughter with Catherine takes overshes a Catholic. Poor Protestants. She dies. Elizabeth takes over, and shes a Protestant. Puritans are formed as a result of wanting purity of church. Slide 13 Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Walter Raleigh both start colonizing Ireland. Thought Irish were like Natives of N. America and savage. No riches or reputation to be won there, they turned their sights on N. America. Gilbert got first charter from Elizabeth. Never made it to America Slide 14 1585 Sir Walter Raleigh brought colonists to Virginia named after Elizabeth the virgin queen. Wingina is Native Chief, and naively believes the English can be controlled. 108 people come, but are not into having good relations with Natives. Slide 15 119 middle class people. Each given 500 acres. John White was governor. He felt that they needed to coexist. In 1587 pilot wanted to leave them at Roanoke instead of Chesapeake. Slide 16 White sailed back to England just as the war was beginning. So the colonists got left behind.
