The link that you put on the post to download the files to your ipod doesnt work. It brings us to Itunes, but there isnt a Chapter 1-17 reading. There was another one you showed us in class today that had all the chapters though.
-Gabbrielle C. Period. 5 and 8
Thanks for the heads-up! Will change the link!
1: what conditions existed in what is today the Unites States that made it "fertile ground" for a great nation?
- the ice bergs weren't melting which caused the water drain into countries, making lakes and rivers. Thats how our nation was formed.
2: speculate how at least one geographic feature affected the development of the United States .
- one geographic feature that affected the development of the US was Lake bonneville, the glaciers of the earth melted and covered Utah, Nevada and Idaho. Later it drained to the Pacific Ocean and eventually stopping and left a mineral-rich desert.
3: "before the arrival of europeans, the settlement of the Americas was insignificant." Assess this statement, in other words, is this statement accurate or inaccurate?
- I think that this statement is inaccurate because before the Europeans arrived, the Americas had many great accomplishments, and built many important items that they needed in order to survive. They were hard workers.
4: describe some of the common features of North American Indian culture .
- indians did not pay attention to money or gold. They grew corn and crops and used it in their everyday lives.
5: what caused Europeans to begin exploring?
- The Europeans began exploring because they wanted to find a wider world, for conquest and/or trade.
6: what were the results of the Portuguese explorations of Africa?
- they started to set up trade posts along the african shore in order to purchase gold and slaves. They built "systematic traffic" so that slaves work the sugar plantations. Slave labor was founded.
q1. The grinding of the moving and melting ice had dismanteled away the shield’s topsoil, pitting its rocky surface with thousands of shallow depressions into which the melting glaciers flowed to form lakes.
q2. One geographic feature that affected the development of the US was lake Bonneville. Lake Bonneville left a mineral rich dessert in the west coast after it evaporated. This helped farmers and other people to live off the dessert in which the lake created.
q3. Before the arrival of europeans, the settlement of the Americas was insignificant, i think this statement is inaccurate. I think so because after the Ice age land was evolving and the food was not scarce, because of this the nomads stopped migrating from place to place in search of food and settled down. Population rose and a civilization was created. The indians then formed an amazing civilization and many tribes were formed all over what is now the US and South America.
q4. One common feature of the North american indian culture is their advanced agricultural practices. They created a method of farming in which it is very succesful i believe it is called three sister farming.
q5. Europeans began exploring because they were in search for gold and riches, and a shorter route to India for trade, also they wanted to impress the king or queen who ever was in reign at the time.
q6. The results of the Portuguese explorations of Africa was succesful. The portuguese kept discovering more and more and developing their ships to reach further up the coast and back home to europe, it was very challenging because of the southern currents and the wind. Once the portuguese explorers went to Africa they adopted Arab and African
practices. They built up their own systematic traffic in slaves to work the sugar plantations, this later eventually expanded sadly.

q7. Some developments that set the state for a cataclysmic shift in the course of history are Europeans clamored for more and cheaper products from the lands beyond the
Mediterranean. Africa had been established as a source of cheap slave labor for plantation agriculture. The Portuguese voyages had demonstrated the feasibility of long-range ocean navigation. In Spain a modern national state was taking shape, with the unity, wealth, and power to shoulder the formidable tasks of discovery, conquest, and colonization.
q8. One positive effect of the atlantic exchange was that some native american tribes now had horses so it benefited them when they were hunting, also they roamed more. One negative effect was how the old world brought their diseases to the new world, diseases such as small mox, and yellow fever.
q9. The conquistadors weren't great men, because they were in search of gold. So they wondered through the native americans territory, they drove them away from their home. They also set up a big military base at a carribean island, they were preparing to conquer native americans land.
q10. The conquistadors motives were extremely succesful. They defeated the powerful Aztec and Incan empires and now crowned territory from Colorado to Argentina.
q11. Cortes was able to defeat the powerful aztecs because he drafted a young expierenced healty army, and also because they had gun powder. The aztecs let cortes and his army through their defences because he was riding on a horse so they thought he was a god, and cortes picked up an indian slave who spoke mayan and spanish.
q12. The black legend is a false concept held that the conquerors merely tortured and butchered the Indians (“killing for Christ”), stole their gold, infected them with smallpox, and left little
but misery behind. The Spanish invaders did indeed kill, enslave, and infect countless natives, but
they also erected a colossal empire, sprawling from California and Florida to Tierra del Fuego. They grafted their culture, laws, religion, and language onto a wide array of native societies, laying the foundations for a score of Spanish-speaking nations.
