The Differences Between The French And British And The American Colonies During The 19th Century

Natives were humiliated and dehumanized. Spaniards did not see the huge genocide that was going on , they just saw the land they was stealing from the natives and the money they were getting out of it. Time past and more and more settled in what now is called the United States. The Englishmen have settled near the east coast when coming to the Americas. English settlements kept growing so they needed to wipe out the natives out to have the land. “Not able to enslave the Indians, and not able to live with them, the English decided to exterminate them” (page, 19). The Indians learned that Europeans were and will always be stronger than them. They learned that European weapons will always be more powerful then whatever they made. Europeans had guns, Indians had spares. Europeans were devious and trick Indians to turn to each other. Tribes were tricked by these masterminds and started conflicted with each other and battles. The Europeans had mass murdered the native Americans with no sympathy. The native Americans could not do anything about it so they had to listen to the European due to the fact they were more powerful. As for the Englishmen they used any type of excuse to get into war. Europeans called native Americans Indians because when Columbus arrived in America he believed that he was in India so he thought they were Indians, its in politically incorrect but calling them Indians is okay because they truly traveled from Asia to America

Eastern spice trade and their expeditions to the New World brought great wealth and power to Spain. The new discoveries made by the Spanish Conquistadors brought riches in terms of gold and silver to the country. (Document 9) As many people gained positive effects from this, they didn’t care how the gold and silver was being brought. The Spanish had treated the Indians very harshly just so they could get what they wanted. (Document 5) Based on this time in history and society, this source is bias on the topic.

The Aztec were a powerful group but did not have an imperialistic worldview like the Spanish. The Spanish expanded their empire and travelled across to the America’s. Here they explored and conquered many groups of people. As they fought the Spanish army grew with more slaves being taken in. This was very different from the Aztec people who fought only for control. They were not focused on expanding their religion and allowed conquered areas to keep their religion and way of life. They did not take slaves and used the captured men for human sacrifice. The Aztec thought that sacrifice would keep their gods happy and increased the amount of before they were conquered. Thus the Aztec worldview was based on religion and the gods. The Aztec and Spanish worldviews were different. The Aztec respected their gods and only conquered land to not be destroyed while the Spanish conquered land to expand their empire. These factors helped contribute to the fall of the powerful Aztec

A contrast of the colonies are where they settled. The early English colonies settled mostly in Virginia and Massachusetts but quickly spread from Maine to Georgia and even to the Mississippi River. The French Colonies settled in parts of Canada, the Mississippi River, Quebec, and Louisiana. While the Spanish colonies claimed most of the south/southwestern regions including Florida, New Mexico, and places in Texas, and California. Another difference would be where the population of the colonists came from. In English colonies the population arose from specialist such as lumberman and sawmill workers, middle-class farmers, tradesman, convicted criminals, and immigrants from other countries were also allowed over. A similarity between the French

One might think that all of the British colonies in the new world were all the same. This is not the case though. The colonies, although they were all British they had some similarities but mainly they had differences. The Southern, New England and Middle colonies clearly show theses similarities and differences, particularly in terms of land, labor, religion, and native relations.

It is no secret that the Native Americans were treated unfairly. They were enslaved and forced to do horrid, dangerous tasks. Casas states how harshly the Indians were treated. One example being the dangers act of pearl diving. This was such a brutal task that Indians were forced to perform by the Spaniards. Pearl diving was known for its danger and severity. When fishing for pearls, the Indians were forced to stay underwater for extended amounts of time. Sometimes they were underwater for as long as hours at a time. Pearl divers typically did not survive long do you to the waters being so cold. They would go into hypothermia which made their lungs tighten. This caused them to cough up blood or cause them to have severe diarrhea which made them dehydrated and leading to death. The Spaniards basically murder the Indians in order to acquire these precious

By the early 1600s both the French and the English had established colonies in North America; the French had New France in Canada and the English had colonies in New England and the Chesapeake Region. These colonies were very different but they shared a few similarities. One aspect they had in common, was that the territories they claimed had already been inhabited by Native Americans for centuries. The European settlers’ relationship with the American Indian’s was in constant turmoil, and between the arrival of the colonists to 1760 there were many instances of cooperation, conflict and compromise between the two groups.

Native Americans had conflict with the Europeans over social and environmental problems; this led to violence and war. Also, Europeans and Native Americans were both violent and Europeans enslaved and killed Natives to conquer land and people.

Many Europeans did not find it fair that the Spanish were taking control over land that was not theirs. Bartolomeo de la Casa states in Document 8 that what is being done to the Indigenous people is “truly unjust and tyrannical.” In an attempt to rule the Native Americans, Europeans began burning their historicals and sent in missionaries to convert them in both peaceful and forceful ways. The Native Americans never harmed the Spanish, Bartolomeo implies, so they have the right to their own culture. Another negative effect of globalization was that main focus was economic profit rather than helping natives. The main goal of most Europeans was to make profit off of the cash crops, and in order to cease the questioning of their king, made excuses that events such as the Mita system were mainly benefiting the Native Americans. In actuality, however, only the Europeans were profiting as the INdigenous population and African slaves were being killed and forced to work a hard amount of labor. This is all a very negative side effect of globalization between the New

Because of how bad they treated them the Native Americans began to revolt and even waged wars against the colonists. But in the end the colonists still took control over them and made them leave their lands that they had lived on for centuries.

Hernan Cortes and his army arrived in Tenochtitlan and his main goal was to get the gold that was there. The Aztecs didn’t know that they were a threat they received them and soon enough they were being threatened for gold by the Spanish army that was invited. When the Aztecs were forced to display their gold Hernan and the other Spanish men went rummaging through the gold and took nothing but gold. For example, document A states, “They seized these treasures as if they were their own..” The part were it says “as if they were their own” demonstrates that they didn’t have respect for others or their

Mankind has matured greatly with years of pursuance. Although involved with societies, governments, and religions, there are many things that are yet to accepted in today’s society. During the early North Americas, Spanish and French colonies were two of the overruling colonies that vanquished great amounts of land and build powerful empires. Both the Spanish and French decided to justify their rule by choosing specific ways in societies, governments, and religion preferences that can shape them to be similar and different in their own ways. Foremost, one of the many similarities that both the Spanish and French colonies possess is found in their colonial societies.

Starting in 1500, a new world capitalist system was emerging in Europe. It was a start of a new age, an age of discovery. Spain was looking for the Northwest Passage, a route linking Europe to Asia through North America by sea. Every country was profit and trade driven and along with this new age discovery was a new capitalist system called Mercantilism, which is a system based upon a state to advance national business interests abroad and is increased

To find out how the Europeans got lucky and achieved total conquest you need to know what they had on their side. The first thing Europeans had was crops and agriculture. The Europeans started off as hunters and gatherers, they were nomadic. Instead of settling in one place they followed the animals

Indigenous people knew of their culture and never were never exposed to people from other cultures. When explorers came to their native lands they were unsure and scared about what was going on. Native people were not prepared to defend and incorporate new ideas of those explorers and their nations. Indigenous would view what was taking place as a crime. Land and other staples from that area were being taken and undergoing changes that were not really important or friendly to those indigenous
