In their view, only a god can kill another god, leading them to believe that Cortes might be a god himself.

(a) What led to a need for these African laborers in the New World, and (b) what made these Africans well-suited to this type of labor? (a) Europeans began to import African slaves because Native American laborers were dying in large numbers from disease, overwork, and exhaustion (b) Africans were already used to a similar climate and conditions as those found in the Americas; already had somewhat of an immunity to European diseases 33. (a) What was the El Camino Real? (b) Why was it important to the Spanish? (c) What were its specific purposes/benefits? (a) The El Camino Real, or “Royal Road” was a network of roads and highways established in the Spanish American colonies (b) Important because it connected the outlying “borderlands” with centers of government, trade, etc. (c) Allowed for easier and faster transportation of goods, people, and soldiers; Important for defense against hostile natives and other European countries such as France; Allowed for better government control of the borderland regions of Spanish colonies; Allowed for greater spread of missionary work and Christianity to natives in outer reaches of colonies 34. Explain why it was important for the Spanish to settle the areas known as “borderlands”. (a) To gain control of outer regions of colonies; distance from capital often meant less law and order, more government corruption in outlying areas Section 3-3: Religious and Political Changes in Europe Fill in the blanks: 35.

The term inflation describes the gradual rise in prices of goods or the gradual loss of a currency’s value. Thoroughly answer the following questions: 44. (a) Who was Martin Luther? (b) Did Martin Luther wish to form an entirely new form of Christianity or simply make changes within the Catholic Church? (c) What practices specifically concerned him? (d) What invention made the Bible more accessible to the masses? (e) Luther’s questioning of Church practices led to what important social/political reform movement in Europe? (a) Martin Luther was a German priest who nailed his 95 theses (conclusions) about Church practices and problems to a church door (b) Wanted to reform, or change, the Catholic Church from within, not create an entirely new branch of Christianity (c) Concerned with the ornamentation of the Catholic Mass; the sale of indulgences to absolve from sin rather than confession; mismanagement of church money; Church was too politically powerful; wanted people to have a closer, more personal relationship with God vs. relying on a priest to act as an interpreter or middle man; wanted people to have greater access to the Bible in their native language (d) The printing press allowed for Bibles to be mass produced in people’s native languages such as English, French, Spanish, German, etc. This allowed more people to read the Bible and interpret it for themselves; also made the Bible more affordable to the average person (e) Led to the Protestant Reformation 45. (a) How did Elizabeth I respond to the aggression of Spain’s Philip II? (b) What event signaled the end of Spain as the world’s most powerful empire? (a) England was less powerful than Spain at the time; rather than declaring war on Spain, Elizabeth I hired privateers known as “Sea Dogs” to attack Spanish shipping around the world; that way, she could deny England’s direct involvement in the attacks (b) The defeat of the Spanish Armada, a huge invasion fleet that was to invade England, in 1588. Spanish put a great deal of resources into the fleet, and with its defeat at the hands of a smaller, faster English navy, this signaled the decline of Spanish power and England’s power would begin to rise 46.

The discovered land held new resources, new territory, and new peoples. Conquistadors were enthralled by the lure of gold and territory. But the Spanish government and colonists faced the problem of the nature and status of the people that already inhabited these lands. Were they to be treated as equals, serfs, or slaves? Were they even really people? The answers to these questions were complex and unclear. The Spanish crown made many laws regarding how the natives and colonists should interact, however, much of this legislation was ignored by colonists and conquerors. Most of the colonists were more than happy to exploit the natives, but some religious orders opposed this exploitation. One of the most outspoken defenders of indigenous rights was the Dominican Order. An especially tenacious Dominican defender of natives' rights was Fr. Bartolome de Las Casas, who campaigned for native rights during the early and mid-sixteenth century. As this paper will show, Las Casas’ championship of indigenous rights was shaped by his European heritage. II The Spanish conquest of the New World happened in concurrence with the Renaissance in Europe.

    THE TULANE EUROPEAN AND CIVIL LAW FORUM VOLUME 31/32 2017 A Confusion of Institutions: Spanish Law and Practice in a Francophone Colony, Louisiana, 1763-circa 1798 Paul E Hoffman* I.

SLAVERY ............................................................................................. 13 IV. CONCLUSION ...................................................................................... 20 I. INTRODUCTION French Louisiana had been a thorn in the flank of Spain’s Atlantic Empire from its founding in 1699. Failure to remove that thorn in 1699 and again in 1716, when doing so would have been comparatively easy and Spanish naval forces were positioned to do so, meant that by 1762 the wound had festered, so that the colony had become what La Salle, Iberville, Bienville, and their royal masters had envisioned: a smuggling station through which French goods reached New Spain and Cuba and their goods—dye stuffs and silver mostly—reached France and helped to pay the costs of a colony that consumed more than it produced, at least so 1 far as the French crown’s finances were concerned. * © 2017 Paul E Hoffman.

Stuntz, B.A., J.D. Denton, Texas May, 1996 ltd Stuntz, Jean A., The Persistence of Castilian Law in Frontier Texas: The Legal Status of Women. Master of Arts (History), May, 1996, 94 pp., references, 38 titles. Castilian law developed during the Reconquest of Spain. Women received certain legal rights to persuade them to move to the villages on the expanding frontier. These legal rights were codified in Las Siete Partidas, the monumental work of Castilian law, compiled in the thirteenth century. Under Queen Isabella, Castilian law became the law of all Spain. As Spain discovered, explored, and colonized the New World, Castilian law spread. The Recopilacidn de Los Leyes de Las Indias complied the laws for all the colonies. Texas, as the last area in North America settled by Spain, retained Castilian law. Case law from the Bexar Archives proves this for the Villa of San Fernando (present-day San Antonio). Castilian laws and customs persisted even on the Texas frontier. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Chapter 1.

  • Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-83747-7 - Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More information Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 England’s response to the Revolt of the Netherlands (1568–1648) has been studied hitherto mainly in terms of government policy, yet the Dutch struggle with Habsburg Spain affected a much wider commu- nity than just the English political elite. It attracted attention across Britain and drew not just statesmen and diplomats but also soldiers, merchants, religious refugees, journalists, travellers and students into the confl ict. Hugh Dunthorne draws on pamphlet literature to reveal how British contemporaries viewed the progress of their near neigh- bours’ rebellion, and assesses the lasting impact which the Revolt and the rise of the Dutch Republic had on Britain’s domestic history. The book explores affi nities between the Dutch Revolt and the British civil wars of the seventeenth century – the fi rst major challenges to royal authority in modern times – showing how much Britain’s chang- ing commercial, religious and political culture owed to the country’s involvement with events across the North Sea. HUGH DUNTHORNE specializes in the history of the early modern period, the Dutch revolt and the Dutch republic and empire, the his- tory of war, and the Enlightenment. He was formerly Senior Lecturer in History at Swansea University, and his previous publications include The Enlightenment (1991) and The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Britain and the Low Countries
