Red Dye In The New World

The Columbian Exchange also made an extreme biological impact on many countries, as well as economic advancements. European nations believed in Mercantilism, the idea that power came through wealth, which was earned through vigorous trade. They carried out this idea when an immense profit was made off of the new crops brought back to Europe from the new world, especially cash crops such as tobacco and cotton. This new food and greater wealth improved the quality of life in European countries, an important positive biological impact of the Columbian Exchange. Crops were not the only form of profit found in the New World, however. Areas of North America rich in precious metals such as gold and silver acted as literal and figurative gold mines for the Europeans, causing the Europeans to prosper even more. (spiegel.de) Though the Columbian exchange resulted in biological and economical advancement in Europe, it lead to the downfall of quality of life and wealth of the Native Americans previously living in the New World. Though they were bigger and stronger than the Europeans, the Native Americans were helpless against the diseases distributed by them, as most of the Europeans were already immune to these diseases. Native Americans also suffered heavily from their isolation from the rest of the world. Societies in Europe, Africa, and Asia had been trading with each other for centuries.

Starting in 1492 when Christopher Columbus, a Spanish explorer, sailed the ocean blue and discovered the New World began this journey for the Spanish and New England colonies. A settlement had begun to develop as more expeditions sailed for the New World. The Spanish drive for mercantilism and the desire for the expansion of the joint-stock companies set them apart from New England. The English wanted religious persecution from Britain and the Anglican Church. The New England, the Middle, and the Chesapeake colonies held the most power in this time period. Wealth for the colonies was found in trading manufactured goods, raw materials, fur, and most important slaves. This brought much conflict between the colonies, causing the development of each to be deterred from the original path. It is in this context that the countries of Spain and New England had been attempting to establish life and wealth in the New World in opposite ways. Three noteworthy differences between the Spanish and New England colonies were their economic ideals, religious ways, and the manner in which the colonies treated the indigenous people are what set the two colonies apart from each other.

By integrating so many Old World ideas, it became harder and harder to identify their true culture. Even today, one could go to an Indian reservation and see only a few people who carry as much original native traditions as possible, but none of them can because some of the new ideas were so hidden, like horses, that it's hard for even a person who is majority Native American to dissect his or her culture to its purest form. Other countries still have bright culture that they hold on to and can be recognized by. The Old World was affected negatively by the New World, but not in such a harsh way. They came back with less than half the diseases that they brought. Many people were killed by the sicknesses like yellow fever, but not in any kind of comparison to the Native Americans, and the diseases they brought were nothing to the Black Plague that so many had heard about so it didn't affect them as much as natives. Tobacco, although it may seem small, was an unnoticed problem for Europeans. It soon became a necessity. Both chewing and smoking affected their heath and is even a problem today. The negative effects on the Old World are significantly less severe than on the New World. The Old World had a huge advantage over the Native Americans because they could see a native's actual life and almost everything about them while the New World didn't originally have that benefit. Because of this, the Europeans got many agriculture ideas and foods from

In 1492 Christopher Columbus “discovered” the New World. This “discovery” led to the colonization of the New World by several European nations. European nations, such as Great Britain, started colonization for a variety of reasons.

The European Colonization of the Americas initiated in 1492 when Spanish explorer and navigator, Christopher Columbus sailed the sea to the New World. Their main motivation was to probe new trade routes, spread Catholicism and earn recognition and stardom for discoveries made similar to the findings that came from the conquest of the Aztecs and Incas. The English then established permanent settlement in the New World and interacted with the indigenous people that were already living there. This was found to have a detrimental effect on the Native Americans because Europeans brought dangerous diseases such as smallpox to the Americas. Also, natives were imperialized, forced to give up their vibrant culture and take up the lifestyle of the Spaniards.

There were many reasons the New World was the most wanted to explore. The Spanish, French, and English came about the New World the same way but for different reasons. The Spanish came in search for God, Gold, and Glory. The French, for money and religious conversions of Native Americans; and the English, to find religious freedom. Each of these empires expected to come and establish a powerful empire in the New World but came across difficulties along the way, their values dictating how they run their colonies.

After the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus, European Nations competed in a race against one another to claim pieces of the new land. Before Columbus found this land, the sea separating the New World from Europe seemed endless, and mundane. The Europeans were only interested in the land to the East. But with the New World as a new hat thrown into the ring, the Europeans tossed aside their old toy to go play with a new one. This time period of conquest over the New World was known as the Age of Exploration, and by the 1700s, they kept their pickings. A New World meant more land to build homes and plant crops, and more money to be earned by buying out new houses and selling new crops grown in foreign soil. Spain claimed

As early as the fifteenth century, Europeans began to become eager to discover the New World that was unknown to them. With the concerns of rapid population growth, commerce, new learning, and the rise of competing for nation states, they set out for new adventures and discovery. For a long time, Spain and Portugal were the only European powers with New World colonies.

When Columbus made his discovery of the New World, he was introduced to new land which needed a lot of improvements either economically, socially, or religiously. The Old and New World eventually collided and Europe knew this was their opportunity to get what they wanted and to improve their nation and knew this was their opportunity to further the nation by expanding through colonization. Mainly the settlers came to the New World for gold which lead to the first settlement in Jamestown in 1607. About a decade later, they founded the Plymouth colony in Massachusetts. The development of Massachusetts and Virginia prior to 1700s were different because Virginia was founded for economic reasons and Massachusetts was founded for religious reasons yet they are similar because they wanted improve their lives without having any conflictions.

The New World was a land full of choices for the settlers that discovered it to make. Despite the fact that the Spanish and English people came into the New World at different time frames, both countries had goals to achieve. The English wanted to establish settlements for a growing future nation, and the Spanish wanted gold and success in expansion as well. The Spanish and New England colonies in the New World in 1492-1763 had both differences and similarities in government, religion, and the treatment of indigenous people.

These people in the new world had our trust, witch made them under our control, which includes having more people on our side. These people helped us in the new world by trading valuables with us that we needed to become a more powerful country and that they are under our rule of King and Queen and all things that the new world had to offer we had a lot of it. Right when Columbus told about the new world we were ready to take over to colonize in the new world and to become more powerful. These are all the reasons why I think it was worth the cost to colonize the new

Europeans explored and settled in the Americas all throughout the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, and were generally successful. Although there were a number of factors that contributed to European successes in the New World, biological exchange was foremost. Biological exchange was the most significant force behind Europeans’ success in the Americas because it helped Europeans to wipe out Native American peoples, both physically and culturally, and to introduce European practices and resources that would help Europeans to flourish in the New World.

When America was discovered, it had pros and cons. Many Europeans went there to live a better life. That was not the case for the inhabitants of the Americas and Africans because they were not treated the same as Europeans. The New World was diverse because they had people of different races. The Europeans had different religious, political and regional views which caused created issues. Moreover, Native Americans and Africans had many groups with their own languages and cultures. The conquest of the new world by the Europeans impacted the lives of various cultures.

The European conquest for establishing North American colonies began with various motivations, each dependent on different, and/or merging necessities: economics, the desire to flee negative societal aspects, and the search for religious freedoms. Originally discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 in search for a trade route to Cathay (China), North America remained uninhabited, excluding the Native American establishments. Following this discovery, Spain –along with other European nations such as France, England, Sweden and the Netherlands– soon began the expedition to the new land with vast expectations. Driven by economic, societal, and religious purposes, the New World developed into a diversely structured colonial establishment

Exploratory expeditions to the New World quickly led to colonial settlements, as the major European countries vied with each other for a portion of the western hemisphere’s riches. »full text
