Over the centuries, slave labor was the ever-present, favorite form of labor. Of course, those who were enslaved did not favor it, but the slave owners prefered it because they did not have to pay for the labor. The men who ran the encomiendas in South America were particularly in favor of it because the process that was required to harvest sugarcane was so strenuous that the workers often died within only a couple years of starting their work. The means by which the slaves were acquired and the areas they were taken from changed rapidly over the years, but slavery was always present and it always served as a major factor in the economy of the atlantic world. Throughout this time period, another constant occurrence was exploration and colonization by the europeans. England, Spain, and France were the major culprits. They often sent conquistadors and explorers to find and claim new land. By 1750, they had colonized or claimed most of the new Atlantic world (the Americas and surrounding…
In This Fleeting World, David Christian delivers a wonderful thesis about world history, starting with the “Big Bang” around 13.7 billion years ago leading to the formation of this world, life, humans and their survival realm that leads into this present day. Christian deliberately describes three eras in order, comparing and contrasting attributes such as survival techniques, kinship/social skills, technology and architecture showing changes through time. The “Afro-Eurasian” continent is the starting point Christian uses to explain the expansion of humanity relating to the “Out of Africa” theory.…
The ratio of population between Europe and Africa declined and it is believed that this caused a significant impact on African civilizations. During the fifteen century, Africa became one of the major location for European explorers, mainly Portuguese. For centuries, Europeans traded gold and spices, but during the fifteen century, one of the most important change occurred; a new type of trade began; influenced by the Portuguese and starting the most shameful period of history. It quickly expanded, and with the time more countries joined.…
Once the population started booming because of this, more people decided to sell their food in exchange for some sort of labor. When people moved over to the new world, they discovered that farming could make you a lot of money. The climate in the south was more desirable for Farming. At first, the Chesapeake people were not interested in Planting at all all they were interested in was finding gold, and they were starving because of it. They truly believed that the Native Americans would give them the food they needed while they searched for food. Oh, how they were wrong. A man named John Smith controlled them and told them to farm to survive. John Rolfe was the man who discovered Tobacco and knew how to export it. Soon everyone started to get rich off of this tobacco trade. The problem was it is a very labor intensive crop and called for a lot of work on the farm. This lead to the uprising of indentured servitude and more importantly slave trade in the English colonies. Farming had a great influence on the southern colonies but not so much for the New England colonies. Since they had very dry air and infertile soil, The new England didn’t do much farming besides the stuff that they needed to survive. Instead of Farming, they brought in a lot of seafood for England. New England and the Chesapeake both farmed but the chesapeake made a living off of…
Lends of Americas were rich and fertile, and Native Americans had a plenty knowledge in various areas. First of all, Europeans craved to increase their funds of gold and silver. American gold used for decoration churches, buildings and palaces; thanks to the American gold Europe had baroque. However, using silver was more wide and deep. Silver mines of Potosi irretrievably changed the economic system of Europe. Europe never before had such a many silver coins in circulation, production increased and people could buy more goods, and began to accumulate their own capital. Silver has become more practical; with so much money the old system was transformed to the new economic system.…

The role of trans-Atlantic trade and Great Britain’s mercantilist policies in the economic development of the British North American colonies in the period from 1650 to 1750 was to create the colonies into self-sufficient areas of living. Triangular trade within the United States, Great Britain, the West Indies, and Africa helped to distribute and/or import and export essential factors. The theory of mercantilism is “that a state should be as economically self-sufficient as possible” and it stipulates that in order to build economic strength, a nation must export more than it imports. The mercantilist policies of Great Britain were rules and regulations that every country and colony participating in the trans-Atlantic trade had to abide by. These rules helped build a firm ground for those countries and colonies, like the British North American colonies that were trying to become financially dependent on themselves.…
During this time period Europe also gained global power. By this time they already had colonies in America, along the coast of Africa, India, and in parts of south east Asia. But with the new technological advances Europe was becoming a global force. With the advances and new findings it brought a stable European economy, and this helped explorers like Columbus. The European government was able to fund explorers to search new land, just as Spain funded Columbus. Europeans were beginning to dominate the world.…
