Period 2 1607-1754
KC 2.1.3 - Competition over resources between EU rivals and NA = industry and trade = conflict in America
NA resistance to Spanish colonizing in N America (Pueblo Revolt) = Spanish accommodation of NA culture in SW
Brit conflicts w NA over land, resources, and political boundaries = military confrontations (Metacom's War - King Philip's War)
goals and interests of EU leaders and colonists diverged = growing mistrust across Atlantic. Colonists (British N America) = dissatisfied w territory settlements, frontier defense, self-rule, and trade
Interactions between EU and NA = accommodation and conflict. French, Dutch, British, and Spanish colonies armed/allied w NA groups (who sought to make allies w EU against other NA groups)
-
Trade w EU increased the flow of goods in and out of NA communities. Stimulated cultural and eco changes and spread disease = radical demographic shifts
Atlantic eco = goods and slaves (African and NA) exchanged between EU, Africa, and Americas (trade networks).
EU colonial eco focused on getting, making, and exporting commodities that had value in EU, and gaining new sources of labor.
KC 2.1.2 - Early 17 cent., British colonies were devleoped along the Atlantic coast. = regional diff (environemental, eco, cultural, and demographic factors.)
Middle colonies had a great export eco on cereal crops and attracted a range of EU migrants = societies w greater tolerance (cultural, ethnic, religious)
Colonies in S and Atlantic coast and the Brit W indies used long growing season to have eco based on exporting staple crops. Dependent on slave labor (slaves developed their own forms of culture and religion)
-
Distance + little attention from Brit = self-governed institutions (democratic). NE = town meetings and elections for colonial legislatures. S = oligarchy kinda (rich plantation owners have most power)
Chesapeake and NC colonies grew like crazy bc of TOBACCO (labor intensive = white, indentured servants or African slaves)
2.2.1 KC - Transatlantic commercial, religious, philosophical, and political exchanges = residents of of Brit colonies to evolve in their political/cultural attitudes (more tied to Brit and eachother)
Brit colonies experienced gradual Anglicization over time - developed autonomous political communities (English model w influence from intercolonial commercial ties, emergence of trans-atlantic print culture, and the spread of Protestant evangelicalism
Brit gov increasingly attempted to incorp. its N American colonies into a coherent, hierarchical, and imperial structure in order to pursue mercantilism economic aims - conflicts with colonists and NA led to erratic enforcement of imperial policies
Presence of different EU religious and ethnic groups contributed to a significant degree of pluralism and intellectual exchange - enhanced by the first Great Awakening and the spread of EU enlightenment ideas
-
Colonists' resistance to imperial control drew on local experiences of self-gov - ideas of liberty, enlightenment, religious independence, and corruption in imperial system evolved
KC 2.1.1 - Spanish, French, Dutch, and Britain colonizers had different eco and imperial goals (land and labor) = shaped social/political development and relationships w native populations
French and Dutch relied on trade alliances and marriages w NA (to build eco and diplomatic relationships and get products for export to EU)
-
Spanish wanted to extract WEALTH from the land, and ended up subjugating the natives and CONVERTING them to Christianity. They incorporated them and the enslaved/free Africans into their society.
-
British migrants, and some EU migrants, wanted social mobility, eco prosperity, religious freedom, and better living conditions. They focused on ag and settled on land that they took from NA (who they didn't live w)
-
KC 2.2.2 - Like other EU empires in the Americas that participated in the Atlantic slave trade, the English colonies developed a system of slavery that reflected on the economic, demographic, and geographic characteristics of these colinies
Chattel slavery became dominant labor system in S colonies, new laws created strict racial system that prohibited interracial relationships and defined the kids of AA mothers as black/enslaved in perpetuity
-
AA developed both overt and covert means to resist the dehumanizing aspects of slavery and maintain their family, gender system, culture, and religion
All Brit colonies participated in the Atlantic slave trade (abundance of land and a growing EU demand for colonial goods, shortage of indentured servants). Small NE farms used relatively few enslaved laborers, all port cities held sig. minorities of enslaved. Plantation systems (Chesapeake and S Atlantic coast) = large numbers of enslaved workers.
Majority of enslaved Africans were sent to the West Indies
KC 2.2 - Brit colonies participated in political, social, cultural, and economic exchange w GB that encouraged stronger bonds w Brit and resistance to Brit's control
KC 2.1 - EU developed a variety of colonization and migration patterns (influenced by: diff imperial goals, cultures, varied N American environments) competed w each other and NA for resources
