Objectives

Students will knowThe Columbian Exchange and its 5 effectsStudents will understandThe global exchange of goods between the Old World and the New World led to an increase in the money supply and a change in the way Europe spent and handled moneyStudents will be able toApply their knowledge of the Columbian Exchange to modern food itemsSlide4

The Impact of the Columbian ExchangeSlide5

st: European Plantation Systems in the Caribbean and the Americas destroyed the indigenous (local) economies and damaged the environmentEuropeans didn’t give the land enough time to recover between plantings, leaving it unusable.Slash and burn techniquesSlide6

2nd

: CapitalismBefore, only churches and governments had an opportunity to invest and become wealthier. Now individuals could become wealthy by investing and selling productsMerchants grew wealthierSlide7

3rd

: Joint Stock CompaniesDefinition: individuals each put in a percentage of the cost associated with colonizing and plantation workHelped to protect the investorSlide8

4th

: SlaveryEuropean colonists did not have enough labor to grow and export their cash crops so they began importing slaves from Africa.Slavery based on raceSlide9

5th

: Commercial RevolutionEuropean countries fought for markets, colonies, and resourcesA new economic system emerged: MercantilismDefinition: the idea that a country’s power is determined by its wealthA colony existed to support the mother country and had to send all its resources (gold, silver, cotton, sugar…) back to help make the mother country New money and banking systems were createdSlide10

Processing

How is investing in a joint stock company safer for your money than investing in a colony all by yourself?How were the original 13 colonies before the Revolution in the United States an example of mercantilism?Slide11

Slavery in Africa

As Islam spread in Africa, so did the use of slaves. African rulers justified enslavement with the Muslim belief that non-Muslim prisoners could be bought and sold as slaves.Some slaves were prisoners of war, some were kidnapped, and some were traded.Slaves that remained in Africa did have some rights . Slavery was not hereditary in Africa. Slide15

Sugar plantations

and tobacco farms required a huge supply of workers. Europeans planned on using American Indians, however, millions died from disease and warfare. In the late 1400s, Europeans began to look to Africa for slaves to meet their labor shortage needs. Slide16

Why people wanted African Slaves

1st: had built up immunity to diseases2nd:had farming and plantation experience3rd: had little knowledge of America and had no family or other tribes to hide withSlide17

By the time slavery ended,

9.5 million slaves had been sent overseasSpain, Portugal, and other European nations also used African slaves.Slaves were transported using the Triangle Trade system, which connected Europe, Africa, and the Americas.Products traded: cotton, rum, slaves, gold, silver, sugar, manufactured goodsSlide18
Slide19

Slaves, gold, ivory

Rum, sugar, cornManufactured goodsSlide20

Slaves crossing the Atlantic Ocean to America travelled “the

Middle Passage.”Around 20% of slaves crossing it died due to disease and inhumane conditions.Slide21

Exporting Precious Metals

Mining precious metals was a huge achievement for manMajority of gold came from AfricaMajority of silver came from present-day Bolivia and Mexico. Japan also mined silver.Metals were exported to Europe and Asia. Slide22

Spain

was one of the first nations to discover silver mines in South and Central America.In the 1600s, Spain experienced a steady growth in their populationSpain had more people, so they needed more food. HOWEVER, they focused on mining silver instead of growing food. As a result, they didn’t have enough food for everyone.Slide23

Spain now had to charge more money for

food to feed everyone, so their prices were a lot higher than those of other countriesThe raising of prices because there is a high demand but you lack supplies is called inflation.People bought from countries with cheaper food prices before they bought from Spain. This meant that Spain wasn’t making any moneySlide24

Spain’s inflation spread throughout

Europe.Between the 1500s and 1600s, Europeans saw all their prices go up sharplyThis hurt people earning a fixed amount, because their money wasn’t worth as much anymore.Slide25

Processing

Describe why Europeans wanted African slaves instead of American Indians.Why was the trip that the slaves took from Africa to America called the Middle Passage?How could focusing on mining gold and silver hurt a European country like Spain?Slide26

Conclusion of the Age of Exploration

Europeans went exploring in search of ______________, to spread _____________________, and to earn _________________ for themselves and their country.Once Europeans found new worlds, they forced their culture and their ways of life on the natives living there, including _________________, _______________, and farming. The Columbian Exchange brought many new _____________ to the Americas and Europe but also spread ___________________ that killed many of the American Indians.Because the Indians were dying, the Europeans needed a new labor source for their farms and mines. They brought in __________________ to do this work in the Americas.The new sources of money in Europe brought about a Commercial Revolution and the system of ______________________, which meant that a country earns its power from how much money it has.
