Do you agree or disagree with this statement? “The Spanish conquest of the Aztecs, which led to the creation of Mexico, was neither a triumph nor a defeat.” Think About: • the actions of the conquistadors • the effects of disease on the native peoples • the encomienda system • the mestizo population in Mexico today ANSWER Agree: Mexico today has a large mestizo population, reflecting mixed Spanish and native heritage.

HOME 1 Spain’s Empire in the Americas ASSESSMENT 3. State three main ideas about the Spaniards’ exploration and settlement north of Mexico and their interaction with Native Americans there.

  • Introducing New Amsterdam One Useful Way to Understand History Is to Forget “History” and Instead Think of the Introducing Past in Terms of Archaeology
    Life in New Amsterdam Educator Resource Guide This guide is made possible by The Netherlands Consulate General in New York. Russell Shorto Introducing New Amsterdam One useful way to understand history is to forget “history” and instead think of the Introducing past in terms of archaeology. Think of layers of civilization, one on top of the other. New Amsterdam Now imagine yourself with a shovel, standing on the surface. You begin digging into the layers of America’s story, searching for its beginnings. You dig through the 20th century, and reach the 19th, finding remnants of the era of horse–drawn buggies, of the Civil War, of the advent of steam–engines. You dig further, and come to the American Revolution: the powdered wigs, the muskets, the gentlemen in Philadelphia grandly inscribing their signatures to a document declaring their independence from Great Britain. This is it: the bedrock of American culture and history, the bottom layer. But no, of course that is not true. Beneath the Revolution lies the colonial period, with its cities burgeoning, its tobacco plantations worked by slaves, its residents thinking of themselves not so much as Americans but as Virginians or Pennsylvanians or New Yorkers. This, then, surely, is the bedrock, the root of all later American history. Actually, no. For the colonies of the 18th century have their roots in the 17th century. Many of these original European settlements — Virginia, the Massachusetts Bay Colony — were English. But not all of them were. This volume explores one of those earliest colonies, which was not founded by the English and which, though largely forgotten in the standard telling of American history, exerted an enormous influence on American culture.

  • NEW JERSEY COLONY Reading Comprehension
    NEW JERSEY COLONY Reading Comprehension New Jersey's early colonial history is similar to New York's. Like New York, the area was first colonized by Dutch settlers around 1613. The colony was called New Netherland and included parts of modern-day New York and New Jersey. In 1660, the town of Bergen became the first established town in the New Jersey portion of New Netherland. Today, it is a large city named Jersey City. By 1664, the British had claimed the entire reGion and had driven the Dutch out. New Netherland was renamed New Jersey and New Amsterdam was renamed New York. AlthouGh KinG Charles oriGinally Gave the reGion to his brother, the Duke of York, eventually, he decided to divide the reGion and Gave the land between the Hudson and Delaware River (New Jersey) to two of his friends, Sir George Carteret and Lord Berkeley of Stratton. Carteret and Berkeley beGan attractinG people to the area by offerinG land and GuaranteeinG reliGious freedom. In return for the land, the settlers were supposed to pay a yearly tax called a quitrent. The quitrents proved hard to collect, which prompted the sale of the land to the Quakers in 1673. Upon the sale, New Jersey was divided into West Jersey and East Jersey. However, by 1702, the two divisions were united as the royal colony of New Jersey. 1.)

  • Dutch Trading Networks in Early North America, 1624-1750
    COUNTRIES WITH BORDERS - MARKETS WITH OPPORTUNITIES: DUTCH TRADING NETWORKS IN EARLY NORTH AMERICA, 1624-1750 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Kimberly Ronda Todt August 2012 © 2012 Kimberly Ronda Todt ii COUNTRIES WITH BORDERS – MARKETS WITH OPPORTUNITIES: DUTCH TRADING NETWORKS IN EARLY NORTH AMERICA, 1624-1750 Kimberly Ronda Todt, Ph. D. Cornell University 2012 Examining the Dutch in early America only through the prism of New Netherland is too limiting. The historiography inevitably follows a trajectory that leads to English takeover. This work explores how Dutch merchants fostered and nurtured trade with early American colonies at all levels and stages – from ship owners to supercargos to financiers – and over the varied geographical and political terrains in which early American commodities were grown, hunted, harvested, and traded. Chapters are organized geographically and chronologically and survey how Dutch trading networks played out in each of early America’s three major regions – New England, the Middle Colonies, and the Chesapeake and later the Lower South from 1624 through 1750. Chronicling Dutch trade also serves to emphasize that participants in early America were rooted in global – as well as in local, regional, and imperial – landscapes. Accordingly, while each of the chapters of this work is regional, they are also integrated into something larger. In the end, this is a study that thinks across the Atlantic world yet explores various commodities or individual merchants to understand markets and networks. This narrative also demonstrates how profoundly Dutch capital, merchants, and iii goods affected early America.
