What are the Americas? • United States, land previously controlled as 13 colonies by England (1607-1783) • Latin America controlled primarily by Spain from 1492-1825 • Motivation of Spaniards vs. British? • 3 G’s • Mercantilism • Salutary Neglect • Navigation Acts (1650-1673)
Historical investigation • Your group will be assigned a colony. Each of you will work together to research life in that colony. • Afterwards, you will each write a 1 pg. response about your life in that society. • How would you be treated by others in your society? • What would your economic situation be like? • How would you feel about your nation’s foreign policy goals? • Would you have a religious affiliation, and if so, what would that mean to you? • How would you feel about your government?
Next class • We will delve into the American Revolution, focusing on origins, military strategy and historiography of the revolution. • To prepare: bring your Zinn reading and be prepared to discuss you findings, questions and comments from his research.
