Compare and Contrast Spanish and British Colonization Efforts in North America Prior to 1763.

The Spanish colonies and the Native Americans are alike and unalike the English colonies and the Native Americans. The Spanish colonies and the Native Americans are different then the English because they were never decent or ever tried to be allies with the Natives. The Spaniards were led by Juan Gines de Sepulveda, who was very anti-native. So since the Spaniards leader was never courteous toward Natives all the Spaniards never even tried to be. One of the only Spanish settlers that was, was Bartolome de Las Casas who was priest who tried to help the Natives and was known as “Protector of the Indians”. Gines never even gave Natives a chance. Even before settling he was prepared to take over them because they were barbaric and savages. Gines

The Spanish, French and English all conquered and colonized North America and they all had different agendas. First, there was the Spanish who came over seeking gold and silver, which they slaved the Natives into mining for them and exporting it back to Spain. They also brought over hundreds of Catholic priest to convert the Natives. Years later the French came over and were focused on generating trade with the Natives. They brought over traders, and fur trackers to negotiate a deal for Beaver pelts which could be used to make hats. They were very popular and profitable. Then there were the English who sent over whole families to form self-sustaining communities. Instead of sending over Catholic priests, traders, of fur trackers they sent over

I personally think the most important factor in the Spanish and Portuguese conquest is the ships used to get across the water. In my opinion, from reading through these first few chapters, the people during this time wouldn’t have gotten close to any of the places they went on for this conquest without these ships helping them. If they walked all over the world it would have taken them considerably longer to get the progress and answers they needed. For example Columbus set out 17 ships for the islands, which loaded 1500 people, domestic animals, sugarcane, tools, plants, and seed to maintain a colony in Hispaniola. If you were to picture this adventure without the ships, it wouldn’t have happened unless they swam. The slaves that they commandeered

The Spanish came to the Americas with the purpose of colonization in 1519. Colonization was not only engaged by Spain. Even Though there were European powers colonizing the Americas; Spain was the most successful power specifically because of its economic structure. Spanish colonization affected many factors as in religion, politics and environment. Spaniards got involved in wars fighting for territory, trade routes, and ports. Natives were forced to embrace Spanish religion, follow the crown’s will and pay taxes to pay Spanish debt. Moreover Spanish made Natives their slaves. However Natives started to die due to diseases that Spanish introduced while interacting with each other. Spanish colonization influenced the beliefs and language that

During the time period of 1607, when the first British colony was established in America, to the last established colony in 1733, differences in each colony was evident due to the different beliefs of conduct in colonization and government. All of the colonies, however, faced unbelievable difficulties upon collaborating with Native Americans, some much severe than others. Furthermore, the impact of North American colonization affected not only Britain and the Natives, but all of Europe as well.

Spain and North America Colonies: The Founding of a “New” Mexico: Onate an English settler made a decision to move to Rio Grande, believed it would’ve been better for him. But to his surprise it wasn’t what he taught it would’ve been. In 1606, the Royal Authority imprisoned Onate on charges of ill-treating and mismanaging the natives of Pueblo.

English Society on the Chesapeake: They Created mercantilism to have a balance of trade with each nation. The Virginia Company: The Virginia Company was started to sell shares to English investors and also for individuals

The history of Colonial North America focuses predominantly on the endeavors of England, France, and Spain to subdue the native populace and gain control of the continent. European colonist crossed the Atlantic for various reasons, and the countries from which they came approached colonization differently. How each European nation approached colonization directly affected many aspects of life in their respective colonies. These different approaches included the relationship with Native Americans, local governmental structure, locations of the colonies themselves, economic activities, religion, and even population growth. Each colony approached these areas differently creating both advantages and disadvantages that seriously affected their

The discovery of North America sparked a new era of exploration, expansion, and colonization. Many European countries took the opportunity to develop a new territory where they could prosper financially and benefit their home country as much as possible. The trip overseas was strenuous, as was maintaining positive relationships with Native Americans and running a successful colony. Although all European countries who showed interest in establishing territories in the Americas had their own reasons for doing so, some countries did a better job executing their colonizing than others. Britain, France, and Spain were the three most successful countries in terms of colonizing a new land for their country.

GKE Task 3 Linda Mckee A. Colonialism is a significant part of history especially in North America. North America was originally colonized by Europeans in the 10th century by Norse sailors who colonized what are now parts of Greenland and Canada, followed later by many European nations including; Great Britain, France, and Spain. The most notorious and first of these Europeans was Christopher Columbus who began colonizing America in 1492 on behalf of Spain. The reason for Christopher Columbus even finding North America was an accident due to he was sailing west in hopes of an alternate route to India but instead landed in the Caribbean.

Both countries used similar tactics in taking over these lands, but there was also differences in how they went about it. Moreover, both Spain and England shared similar experiences in gaining control of the new lands. “Like the Spaniards, the British sought to enslave Indians without much success, and they also sought to Christianize them, although not nearly as diligently as the Spanish had” (SpainvsEngland). For example, the Puritans were trying to influence the natives to convert to Christianity with the help of the “Society for the Propagation of the Gospel and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts” (SpainvsEngland).

Because the Indians and Spanish lived in different areas in Latin America, the Indian culture and society did not change significantly. Or did there society change?

There are cultural changes that both Mayans and Tainos endured during Spanish colonization. Tainos experienced sufferings and exploitations from the hands of the Spanish conquistadores, their being gentle and unsuspecting people have been subjected to unspeakable atrocities from their oppressors. The refusal of Tainos to Spanish conquest grew physically violent over time. Their resistance with sticks and stones has no match with guns and armors of the Spanish conquerors. This led to massive Spanish slave trade was they forced to do gold mining, providing sexual companionship and raising Spanish food. The refusal

As is observed throughout history, humanity and the environment are constantly coevolving. While European colonists shaped their lifestyles according to the diverse climates throughout North America, the presence of these pioneers equally transformed the surrounding environments.

The United States has come a long way from British colonization. It is without a doubt that today it holds the tittle of one of the world’s most progressive super-power nation. Its extensive history from colonial settlement to sovereignty is due to its many highs lows of political social and economic changes. The United States’ history has made a significant impact on the nation that they are today; through the lens of political economical and social aspects we can underline major events of American history that makes it “the land of the free” that it is present day.
