•  As the Europeans explored more of the New World, they brought their religion along with them.

•  The Spanish, being devout Catholics, would explore a region and set up forts to protect their interests in the area. Often along with the forts came missions.

•  These missions were intended to spread Christianity to the natives of the New World.

•  At first, Native Americans listened to the priests' stories in exchange for food or lodging, though most did not convert to the Christian religion.

•  As the European presence grew, however, priests began to force conversions on the Native Americans.

•  Columbian Exchange is used to describe the exchange of crops, animals, people, & even diseases, which occurred after Columbus’ discovery of the New World.

•  As a result of the contact between the Eastern & Western Hemispheres, people in both places were introduced to a variety of items.

•  Before the Europeans introduced them, many native people had not even seen horses.

•  This was a �game-changer� for native Americans. Why?

• Most of the $$$$$ was sent back to Europe. • Today descendants of these African slaves are a part of L.A.�s culture. • Over half of Cubans, and about half of Brazilians have African ancestors.

• The native people were not a good source of labor because most of them were killed by Europeans in their attempts to take over the land, and disease killed many more. • So Africans were brought to the New World. • They were forced to work in terrible conditions, and faced lifetimes of slavery, and their children faced the same. • They grew in numbers as the need for farms grew, mostly along the tropical coasts.
