APUSH Ch. 2
Section Review
What were the colonial goals of the Spanish, French, and Dutch? How successful were they in achieving those goals? One of Spain’s main goals was to make the Indians follow the Christian religion. This was unsuccessful because even though the Spaniards forced the Indians to be Christian for awhile, when the Indians Christian prayers didn’t work they switched back to their old ancestral gods. Then they rebelled and tore down all the Christian churches with the Popé. One of France’s goals in settling in the United States was to get fur for Europe, since it was in great demand. This was pretty successful since the French were able to trade with the Indians for fur. The French also wanted to convert the Indians to Jesuit in a calmer manner, but the Indians became skeptical of the religion when their prayers didn’t save them from the diseases. The Dutch set up a colony mainly to do trade with the Indians- but it was very unsuccessful because the colonies population was too small and most emigrants were not interested in America but in Asia. The Netherland colony survived as a fur trading enterprise.
What happened to the Five Nations of the Iroquois between 1600 and 1700? Were the Iroquois better off at the beginning of the period or at the end? Why? The Five Nations of the Iroquois faced a smallpox epidemic in 1633, which cut their population by one third, and then to add on they were in multiple devastating wars with other tribes. So overall their population decreased between 1600 and 1700, even though they started off so well at the beginning of the 17th century. They were better off at the beginning of the period because their population was higher and they were not facing multiple defeats in wars or diseases. They had also acquired goods and guns from Dutch traders.
