Lesson 1 From Days Before Time The civilizations of South and Central America and Mexico included the Mayas, who had a rather sophisticated culture and written language, a numerical system, and a calendar; the Aztecs, who had a religion based on human sacrifice; and the Incas, who also were well developed in their culture. All of these societies were agriculturally based with substantial urban cities. The civilizations of the North – present-day Canada and the United States – had a somewhat different pattern of development. In contrast to the several elaborate empires of the civilizations of the South, the Northern civilizations were incredibly numerous and diverse. Here, the Eskimos hunted and fished while big game (moose and caribou) hunters appeared in the Pacific Northwest. Agriculture proliferated in areas of the Southwest such as Chaco Canyon. Tribes like the Woodland Indians, who lived near present-day St. Louis, engaged in hunting, fishing, and farming. The largest tribal grouping was the Algonquin tribes of the Northeast. The Iroquois Confederation included at least five distinct Northern “nations.” In the Southeast, the Muskogean language grouping included the Choctaws, Seminoles, Chickasaws, Cherokees, and Creeks. Many of the Northern tribes were matrilineal in structure, and religion played a vital role in tribal life. Native American populations increased throughout the period before European colonization. Europe’s exploration of North America was driven by a number of factors. The dominance of the Roman Catholic Church in Europe created a Assignments This lesson is based on information in the following text selections and video. Read the text carefully, watch the video, and study all the material. Text: The chapter number and section title of reading assignments are the same in both books: A. Brinkley, American History: A Survey, Volume 1, 12th edition A. Brinkley, The Unfinished Nation, Volume 1, 5th edition The following sections in Chapter 1 of the text are covered in this lesson: “America Before Columbus” and “Europe Looks Westward” Video: Episode 1, “From Days Before Time” Overview North America, as we know it, was first populated 12,000 to 15,000 years ago by people of Mongolian stock from Northeastern Asia. Early archeological findings confirm that the Paleo Indians, a hunting and gathering tribe, were among the first to appear, followed by others who turned to agriculture for sustenance and survival. 1 2 T HE UNFINISHED N ATION ( TO 1877) need for other areas of expansion. The end of the Black Death saw an increase in population, the growth of commerce and the merchant class, and the appearance of new monarchs, especially in Spain and Portugal. Portugal began the era of exploration in the fifteenth century with Prince Henry the Navigator, followed by Bartholomeu Diaz and Vasco da Gama. But it was Spain that would prevail. Spain entered the era of exploration with the Genoa seaman Christopher Columbus who, in 1492 underwent an arduous journey with three ships and ninety crewmen to find a route to Asia. Sponsored by Ferdinand and Isabella, Columbus arrived on an island in the Bahamas instead of his intended destination. From there, he went to Cuba. Despite his later voyages, he never found the pathway to Asia. Other Spaniards who followed Columbus included Vasco de Balboa, Ferdinand Magellan, and, perhaps the most famous, Hernando Cortez. These explorers were actually entrepreneurs who received encomiendas (licenses) to launch their expeditions and set up their colonies. They declared everything they discovered for the monarchy in Spain. As the Spanish monarchs sought gold and power, individuals such as Cortez and the conquistadores traveled to North America in search of precious metals. If found, they were to share their profits with the monarchs who endorsed them. Upon arriving in Mexico and Latin America, expeditions like Cortez’s brutally slaughtered, subjugated, raped, and pillaged the Aztecs, Mayas, Incas, and Chibehas. Francisco Pizarro (1532–38) and Hernando de Soto (1539–41) followed Cortez. Spanish outposts were established in such wellknown places as St. Augustine, Florida (1565). The conquistadores were not alone, however. Franciscan missionaries came to North America to convert “the Savages” to Christianity. Such missionaries did not ask the Natives if they wanted to convert. Rather, they often imposed their Catholicism upon them. To a large extent, this explains the deep roots of Catholicism in Latin America, Mexico, and areas of the United States. After the conquistadores’ arrival, Spain encouraged colonization, which Spanish colonial governments accomplished by adapting to what existed already among the tribal villages. Spain imposed a small ruling class over large populations throughout its colonies. Spanish settlers appeared more regularly and interaction among and between Native Americans and Spaniards became more frequent. As Spanish plantations were developed, labor became a problem which Spain and Portugal solved by importing African slaves. Ponce de Leon, for example, led his expedition primarily to capture and acquire slaves. Under Spain’s exploitive rule, relations with the Native tribes were not always cordial. A major revolt of the Pueblo Indians in New Mexico left many Spaniards dead. In addition to subjugation, Native Americans faced new diseases introduced by Europeans and their animals, which were often devastating. Still, Spanish colonists and Native Americans did intermingle and intermarry as time went on, producing a mixed breed of Spanish and Native Americans called mestizos. A racial hierarchy developed with the Spanish at the top, Native Americans at the bottom, and mestizos in between. Spain introduced some very positive innovations to tribal economic systems such as domestic livestock, new crops, and most importantly, the horse. Nevertheless, by 1560 Spain was facing problems such as increased competition, and the leader in the era of exploration decided to focus its energies on Mexico and Peru. Focus Points Learning Objectives After reading the assigned pages in the text and watching the video, you should be able to: ✓ Trace the appearance of early civilizations in North America. ✓ Describe the civilizations of the North and those of the South before the Middle Ages. ✓ Explain why Europe began its exploration of North America and the specific countries and explorers involved. ✓ Recount how Spain began exploration, established colonies, and developed colonial governments. ✓ Trace the impact of cultural exchange on Native Americans in North America and how slavery and the slave trade came to the area. L ESSON 1: F ROM D AYS B EFORE T IME Key Terms and Concepts After reading the assigned pages in your text and watching the video, you should be able to identify and explain the significance of the following: Agricultural Revolution Aztecs Black Death Catholicism Choctaws Christopher Columbus Commerce in Europe conquistadores Constantinople Hernando Cortes Vasco da Gama Hernando de Soto encomiendas Leif Eriksson Ferdinand and Isabella Incas Islam Ferdinand Magellan matrilineal Mayas mestizos Paleo Indians Francisco Pizarro Marco Polo ranchos route to China/Japan smallpox/disease transmission slavery Amerigo Vespucci Text Focus Points These text focus points are the main ideas presented in this section of the textbook. Read these points carefully before reading the text. You may want to take notes for future reference and study. ✓ North and South America were inhabited by a variety of peoples with distinct cultures, languages, traditions, and religions including the Mayas, Incas, Aztecs, and Native Americans. Contact with European civilizations was the most traumatic and significant incident in the history of these societies. ✓ European exploration of North America was stimulated by population increases, the rise of the merchant class, the growing importance of 3 commerce, and powerful new monarchies in Spain, Portugal, and other European countries. ✓ Spain and Portugal led the early exploratory efforts. Sponsored by Ferdinand and Isabella, explorer Christopher Columbus sought to find a route to Asia, but landed first in the West Indies and later in Cuba. He was followed by a host of other explorers seeking wealth, fame, and power. ✓ The Spanish conquistadores, like Hernando Cortes, were entrepreneurs who received permission from the Spanish crown to explore the New World on condition that they share their newfound treasures with the king and claim all territory for Spain. Often brutal in their treatment of the natives, the conquistadores left a trail of devastation wherever they went. ✓ Spain set up colonial governments in tribal villages. Spain’s desire for wealth and power were matched by the Franciscans’ desire for souls. The native in North America were converted to Catholicism, typically without their voluntary cooperation. ✓ To maintain its plantations, Spain introduced slavery into its colonies, as well as more positive innovations such as the horse, domestic livestock, and new crops. As cultural exchanges occurred, Spain began to focus its attention more on Mexico and Peru than North America.
