EXCHANGE
USING WHAT YOU KNOW…WHAT WOULD YOU GUESS THE COLUMBIAN EXCHANGE WAS??
The Columbian Exchange was the introduction and transfer of goods between Europe and the Americas
JOHN CABOT
Italian sailing for the British
Wanted to find a trade route, figured if he went North, he wouldn’t hit Columbus’ land
British didn’t want to get in the Spanish’s way
1 boat, crew of 18 men
First to actually reach North American main land, probably landed in Maine
JUAN PONCE DE LEON
Spanish explorer…wanted to elaborate on Christopher Columbus’ ideas
Made the jump from the Bahamas to Florida
This is very important because…
Now the Spanish will start running all over the, “New World” and will set up permanent housing
Was looking for the Fountain of Youth
Established St. Augustine, FL in 1565
St. Augustine, FLOriginal Spanish
fort built to protect from other Europeans, Indians, and
Pirates

CONQUISTADORS – ALWAYS SPANISH BORN/SAILED
Hernan Cortez,
Looking for gold and glory
Sailed with 500 SOLDIERS, horses, and cannons
Wanted to take over the Aztec empire and the capital of Tenochtitlan
Aztec Indians forced to give up clothes, crops, gold, and precious stones
Took over capital and king Montezuma
Spanish fight to keep capital, and eventually take control of Mexico
Francisco Coronado
Went looking for gold further north than Mexico
All he found was ‘widespread planes and no gold’
So, he went back to Mexico for more riches.
SPANISH AMERICA
Missions, Big houses
Churches, wanted to convert the Natives to Catholicism
Made permanent houses and planned to stay
Spain became very wealthy as a country
SAMUEL DE CHAMPLAINFrench Explorer…
Now the French are involved
He goes into Canada, down the Mississippi River, and ends in New Orleans.
(Hint: this is why we buy the Louisiana Purchase from France)
He develops VERY positive relationships with the Native Americans
Battles with the British and he is captured, but then later comes back as governor of Canada.
FYI (The French and British will always be in a fight from here on out)
