  2. Students will learn about... Native American history religion land & property gender roles European views of natives European trade Slavery origins

  3. Douglas the sad mustachioed dragon wants to know... What did Native Americans believe in? Native Americans believed... that spirits were everywhere and in everything (animals/land) in one supreme being (e.g., "spirit master of life"--Iliniouek) in various spiritual ceremonies hallucinogens helped connect with the spirit world in no ownership of land in dividing land between people to use for the greater good in moving when the soil became depleted/weather/hunting in having various sexual partners in divorce in men moving in with the wife's family that men would hunt/defend and women would farm/nurture women could be involved with "religion" and "politics"

  4. Douglas the sad mustachioed dragon wants to know... What did Europeans think of Native Americans? Europeans thought natives... were uncivilized savages lacked religion/faith weren't utilizing the land (and therefore had a right to it) were weak and lacked freedom lacked rules/laws were too free

  5. Douglas the sad mustachioed dragon wants to know... "Colonization" didn't end well for the natives did it? No. No it did not Doug. Europeans brought with them diseases that Native Americans were unable to fight off (e.g., smallpox, influenza, measles); they also fought with the natives over land and cultural differences. Sadly, millions of natives died as a result of colonization. As a matter of fact, at the start of the 15th century there were roughly 15-25 million Native Americans living in North America; that number was down to 250,000 by 1900. Now, we can't be totally certain on the actual numbers, but historians are fairly certain that between 50%-90% of the entire Native American population was eradicated by the start of the 20th century. Heart shaped Hall and Oates has the answer...

  6. Karate bear Dave wants to know... What should I know about European trade around the time of colonization? Trade... was expensive would take for...ev...er Before Columbus Europeans... would sail around Africa in order to trade with Asia would have to deal with a Muslim middleman Columbus... sailed west in order to find a new trade route • was sponsored by the Spanish crown would receive 10% of the profits, governorship over any new lands, and be named "Admiral of the Ocean Sea" landed in the Caribbean Islands

  7. Karate bear Dave wants to know... So when did slavery start and how did slaves get from Africa to the New World? Oddly enough slavery started in Africa. Africans would enslave criminals, debtors and captives of war; but slavery was not the basis of the African economy and slaves had rights. Long story short... sometime in the 15th century Europeans started trading guns with Africans in exchange for Africans. Africa was a continent full of warring tribes/kingdoms who relied on this revolutionary technology to increase their power... the African leaders were more than happy to trade Africans for guns. And to Europeans, well, slave labor was much more valuable than guns. Well Rick, if Africans have been enslaving Africans way before Europeans, how did Europeans get involved in slavery? Turtleneck Rick Astley has the answer...

  8. Ron the awkward cat would like you to... Read this and then answer the following questions on your blog: 1. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement (why/why not?): What the Europeans did to the Native Americans/Africans was a necessary price to pay for progress (when dealing with the "African" part of the question focus only on the "Europeans trading guns for Africans" and not "slavery in America").

  9. Students should understand... Native American culture was in fact very developed spirituality gender roles Europeans viewed the natives as savages lacking freedom/too free wasting land European trade was very expensive and timely pre-Columbus Slavery originated in Africa but slaves were treated very differently Europeans would trade guns in exchange for Africans
