  3. The Spanish and French both laid claim to the land that is now Texas. Their motivation is often referred to as the 3 G’s: Gold • Money and Wealth – Explorers came in search of money/wealth/riches God • Religion - The Europeans wanted to spread Christianity to Native Americans Glory • Fame – European explorers wanted to claim land for their nations’ rulers and win glory for themselves by being successful

  4. Imagine that you have the opportunity to sail with Christopher Columbus on one of his voyages. Life aboard ship is hard; food and water tend to spoil, and ships often wreck in storms. Nevertheless, the promise of fame and fortune has led thousands to risk their lives at sea. Knowing the risks as well as the potential for wealth and fame, would you sign on as a crew member for a voyage to the unknown? Why or why not?

  5. European Exploration • Christopher Columbus sailed to Americas to find new trade routes to Asia. • He persuaded Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain to finance his expedition. • He made 4 journeys to the Americas, exploring Cuba, Bahamas, Jamaica, Central & South America. • Failed to find a new route to Asia or to bring back fabulous riches • Spanish explorers called Conquistadors realized that the Americas could provide greater riches that could be earned through trade with Asia.

  6. European Exploration • In 1519, Alvarez de Pineda was the first to explore the Texas Gulf Coast.

  7. European Exploration • In 1528, a hurricane drowned Narvaez and many of his men at sea. The survivors landed in Galveston Bay. They were the first known Europeans to set foot in present day Texas.

  8. European Exploration • Cabeza de Vaca told officials about the native legends of seven cities of gold known as Cibola, thus leading to more expeditions in search for the cities of gold. • He was one of 4 survivors of Narvaez original expedition. • First Europeans to explore interior of Texas

  9. European Exploration • The French also send expeditions to the new world. • In 1685, LaSalle reached Galveston Bay and sent colonist ashore at Matagorda Bay. • LaSalle built Fort St. Louis near present day Garcitas Creek in Victoria County. • Although LaSalle’s expeditions were unsuccessful for France, they were seen as competition for Spain. • This contributed to the rebirth of Spanish exploration and settlement along the Gulf Coast of Texas.

  10. European Exploration • In 1682, Spaniards establish first Texas mission, Corpus Christi de la Ysleta, which was a success. • Purpose was to spread Christianity to Native Americans in the area

  11. The ships that explorers used in earlier times were constructed very differently from today's ships. The Santa María was a cargo ship made of wood, with five sails. It was powered by the wind and could travel at most about 100 miles a day. A tiller was used to steer; the ship's wheel wouldn't be invented for another 200 years. The Santa María hit a reef and sank on Christmas Day, 1492. Since the fifteenth century, shipbuilding technology has changed. Now ships are made with steel and use steam, gas, or nuclear power to cover 100 miles in a few hours. How might history have changed if the early ships had been made of the materials we use today?
