Converging Cultures Section 1: Migration to America

Monday, September 21, 15

Geologists believe that the first humans came to America when the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water froze into glaciers. As the water froze, the floor of the ocean was revealed. This provided a Land bridge for the people to walk across into America. WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? Monday, September 21, 15

The Journey From Asia The first people migrated from Asia to North, Central, and South America during the last Ice Age. They reached the Americas thousands of years ago. This migration took centuries, and people spread out across the Americas as far east as the Atlantic Ocean and as far south as the tip of South America.

Monday, September 21, 15

These early people crossed a land bridge from Siberia in northeastern Asia to present-day Alaska. This land bridge, Beringia, now lies under the waters of the Bering Strait. These early Americans were nomads, moving from place to place in search of food. - were skilled hunters. They used every part of the animal for food, clothing, weapons, and tools. Monday, September 21, 15

Primordial Soup Theory Some people think that the first humans formed from a soup of bacteria , chemicals and amino acids in a warm pond or ocean.

They believe that humans crawled out of this Primordial Soup after they grew legs.

Monday, September 21, 15

Creation Scholars believe they have determined the actual location of the Garden of Eden. Adam & Eve were driven out of the Garden of Eden & angels with flaming swords guarded the Garden, so they could never return.

Monday, September 21, 15

Hunter-Gatherers The earliest arrivals to America were nomads. This means they moved around from place to place looking for food. As time passed, the huntergathers learned how to plant & raise crops.

Monday, September 21, 15

Neolithic Revolution When Farming Began

Once they could grow food, they developed farms. Someone had to tend to the crops as they grew and be there for the harvest. This caused villages to develop around the farms. Some of the first crops the nomads learned to grow were squash, beans and pumpkins, but their most important crop was maizeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;another word for corn.

Monday, September 21, 15

How Farming Changes things

As the families formed a village, not everyone had to tend to the crops. People began to become skilled in other areas. Some fashioned arrows. Other became experienced basket weavers. Several men became expert hunters or fishermen.

Monday, September 21, 15

Government Begins As the villages grew filled with many families, there was a new need for order. You can imagine how arguments or situations would develop in their new way of living. Government began to develop to settle these disputes. In North America, this marked the actual beginning of civilization.

Monday, September 21, 15

Civilization

A highly organized society that has increasing knowledge of trade, government, arts (crafts), science, and most of the time a written language. One of the most interesting civilizations to develop were the Aztecs.

Monday, September 21, 15

Aztecs Had a Grand City Called TENOCHTITLAN Located in Present-day Mexico City! We are Going to Do a Deeper Study of the Aztecs Later in This Chapter. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s add to the list of civilizations that developed in North America.

Monday, September 21, 15

Anasazi This civilization developed where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico now meet. The area where these 4 states meet is called the Four Corners Region. They farmed in some harsh desert conditions building basins & ditches to collect rainwater. The lived in large multi-story buildings made from adobe and stone. These homes are called Pueblos.

Inuit & Aleut These civilizations developed around Alaska. Both groups hunted whales, seals and polar bears. Engineered the creation of the first harpoon, kayak and dogsled. They are the only Native Americans who developed lamps using whale blubber for fuel.

Monday, September 21, 15

Hohokam This Civilization developed in Arizona. Developed Irrigation canals which brought water from hundreds of miles away to their crops By the 1500s this culture had vanished.

Monday, September 21, 15

This is a Hohokam Ball Court

Monday, September 21, 15

Zuni & Hopi Civilizations These people were descendants of the Anasazi & Hohokam (Lived in the same southwestern area of America) They continued the farming traditions Believed in a spirit world When the boys turned six, they joined a kachina cult, wore masks & danced to summon the kachinas Kachina means good spirit Monday, September 21, 15

Monday, September 21, 15

The Great Plains Civilization They were farmers, but suddenly abandoned the area. They became nomadic hunters. Followed the herds of buffalo on foot Once horses were brought to America by Spain, the wild descendants of those horses were tamed by the people of the Great Plains. They became expert riders, hunters & warriors.

Monday, September 21, 15

Horses were first brought to America by Spain. Some of these horses got away during war or were left behind when the Spanish set sail. They populated the great plains area untouched by humans. The Great Plains people tamed these wild horses. Monday, September 21, 15

Horses & the Native Americans

Monday, September 21, 15

First the Great Plains People Farmed, but stopped for an unknown reason. They began to follow the herds of buffalo on foot. They only killed what was needed to survive & respected the buffalo. Their lives were completely dependant on the survival of the buffalo.

Monday, September 21, 15

Iroquois Civilization

Lived in present-day New York Practiced Slash & Burn Agriculture Lived in Long Houses Each group formed a clan Monday, September 21, 15

Iroquois Iroquois used slash & burn agriculture. They cut down the forests, burned & cleared the land. This made the soil rich in nitrogen from the ashes.

Monday, September 21, 15

Iroquois They lived in longhouses. Longhouses housed 10 families. Each of these 10 families was a clan. The clan was headed by the strongest woman of the clan. She was the Matriarch. Monday, September 21, 15

War would break out between all the different clans within the Iroquois groups.

•  Five groups formed an alliance to maintain peace. •  When all Five groups joined together, they were called the Iroquois League. •  The agreement the five groups entered into was called THE GREAT BINDING LAW. Monday, September 21, 15

Assessment Write these terms & define each one. Ice Age Glacier Nomad Civilization Pueblo Kachina Slash & burn agriculture Monday, September 21, 15

Reviewing Themes Geography and History How did an Ice Age make it possible for Asian hunters to migrate to the Americas?

Water froze, sea levels dropped, and large areas of land such as Beringia were exposed, allowing migration.

Monday, September 21, 15

Questions How did the first people come to North America? Explain the Primordial Soup Theory.

Where did civilization begin before the first humans came to America and in present-day geography in which country is this located ?

Monday, September 21, 15

In this same location, what do scholars also believe was once located near the place where civilization began? Why couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Adam & Eve return to the Garden of Eden? If the first Americans were nomads, how did they get food? How did the agricultural revolution lead to the growth of permanent settlements? What was the most important crop?

Monday, September 21, 15

Explain how farming changed the way some people worked. Why did government first develop? What was the grand city of the Aztecs? Where is this in present-day geography? Which civilization developed around the four corners region?

Monday, September 21, 15

What states make up the four corners region? What were the homes of the Anasazi called? Which two civilizations developed around Alaska? List 3 inventions of the Alaskan civilizations? What development of the Alaskan civilization did no other Native American group have?

Monday, September 21, 15

Section 2

Europe & Africa

Monday, September 21, 15

Middle Ages •  The period from about 500 to 1400 is called the Middle Ages. •  During this time, Europe is in a mess. •  The entire economy had collapsed.

Monday, September 21, 15

During the Middle Ages.. 1.  Money was no longer used 2.  Law & order vanished 3.  Roads fell into disrepair 4.  Cities just disintegrated 5.  People knew nothing about life beyond their own tiny villages

Monday, September 21, 15

Feudalism •  After the Middle Ages, since the government had failed, a new political system developed. •  Remember, there is no law & order.

Monday, September 21, 15

European Swords weighed about 6 to 12 pounds. The user needed 2 hands to fight!

Monday, September 21, 15

Manorialism described the economic relationship between the Nobles & the peasants. Monday, September 21, 15

PEASANTS •  Peasants lived on the estates of the Lords. •  In return for the protection during this lawless time, the peasants farmed the Lords’ lands. •  Most of the peasants fell into the category of SERFS. •  Serfs were bound to the land and the lord. •  Serfs were not considered slaves because they could not be bought or sold.

Monday, September 21, 15

The Peasants or Serfs lived in tiny one room houses with dirt floors. They slept huddled together to keep warm. Their main diet consisted of porridge & bread â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;Ż Porridge was made from dried peas seasoned with a piece of pork fat. Monday, September 21, 15

Monday, September 21, 15

Things Change •  Neither the Middle Ages nor Feudalism lasted forever. •  The religion of Islam began to spread like wildfire! •  Christians wanted to prevent Islam from taking over the world. •  They launched an effort to stop Islam from spreading & spread Christianity. •  This effort is historically known as The Crusades. Monday, September 21, 15

The Crusades â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;Ż The Crusades were really nine expeditions inspired by Pope Urban II to defeat Islam.

The threat of Islam was so great the nobles began to sell their estates, free the serfs and join The Crusades. They felt it was their duty to the Christian faith. This marked the end of Feudalism & Manorialism. The Crusades took them to many foreign lands & they brought back many new ideas & new technologies. A great trade developed with Asia. The problem was that all the things they wanted from Asia could only be obtained by dealing with the Muslims whose religion was Islam!

Monday, September 21, 15

To get spices from Asia they would be forced to do business with the people they were trying to defeat. This is what caused the desire to find a new route to reach Asia. They could cut the Muslims out of the deal.

Monday, September 21, 15

Europeans were Christian & did not like giving their money to Muslims If they could ďŹ nd a way around the Muslims, They could get the spices they needed & save some money, too!

Monday, September 21, 15

â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;Ż Why did they need spices so bad?

There was no warm water or running water. People went weeks without bathing. There was no refrigeration, so meat would rot quickly. The spices helped to mask the smell and taste of rancid meat. Salt would cure the meat & Monday, September 21, 15

Four Strong States Emerged that Would Finance Trade & Exploration

•  •  •  •

Portugal Spain England France

Monday, September 21, 15

At this same time, an intellectual revolution began. It is known as the Renaissance. It lasted from about 1350-1600.

This began the age of exploration! Exploration required new technology: Accurate Maps & Tools Training in Navigation They needed Ships that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get swallowed up by the ocean

Monday, September 21, 15

The Chinese invention of the compass showed the direction of magnetic north.

Monday, September 21, 15

The Arabs improved an invention called the astrolabe The Astrolabe measured the altitude of the sun, moon, planets and stars.

Monday, September 21, 15

Mapmakers called cartographers were unaware of North & South America A mapmaker named Ptolemy made many of the inaccurate maps for explorers.

Monday, September 21, 15

No one knew that tribes of Native Americans were living In a New World not even recorded on European Maps

Monday, September 21, 15

We shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t judge Ptolemy too harshly. He could only rely on the stories the men aboard ships brought back to him. There were no satellites to help Ptolemy recognize North & South America

Monday, September 21, 15

The Portuguese developed a ship called the Caravel and they began to search for a new route to Asia. The Caravel was designed with: •  new triangular shaped sails instead of all square •  New steering rudder instead of steering oars •  And a shallow hull Monday, September 21, 15

People To Remember

Portugal Leads The Way A Portuguese sailor named Bartholomeu Dias sailed to the southern tip of Africa. Now, the Muslims could be bypassed to get spices from Asia.

Monday, September 21, 15

The Tip of Africa Passageway Became Known as The Cape of Good Hope Bartholomeu Dias Monday, September 21, 15

Bartholomeu Dias found The Cape of Good Hope, but the first European to actually sail all the way around Africa & reach Asia was Vasco Da Gama

Section 3 Europe Encounters America

Monday, September 21, 15

Columbus Didn’t What? Christopher Columbus was not the first European to arrive in North America. When he did bump into to America, he was just lost. He didn’t discover America like your first history book might’ve told you. This accomplishment was really the work of

Leif Ericsson

Mapmakers called cartographers were unaware of North & South America A mapmaker named Ptolemy made many of the inaccurate maps for explorers.

Monday, September 21, 15

104

No one knew that tribes of Native Americans were living In a New World not even recorded on European Maps

Monday, September 21, 15

105

Story of Columbus The inaccurate map that Christopher Columbus used was created by Claudius Ptolemy. While the map did indicate a round world rather than flat, the distance & size of the earth was recorded much too small. Ptolemyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maps never even documented the continents we now call North & South America.

Monday, September 21, 15

106

Before we judge Ptolemy too harshly, we need to remember that he did not have access to any of the tools we use today. He was stepping into the unknown & recording what he had been told by sailors.

Monday, September 21, 15

107

Ptolemy developed a grid system of longitude & latitude lines which we still use today. Longitude: Lines run north and south!

Monday, September 21, 15

Latitude: Lines run East and West

108

We already know that Europe found a trade route to Asia around the southern tip of Africa. (From Lesson 2)

Columbus wanted to explore a new way to reach Asia. He begged for financial help & was turned down many times. Monday, September 21, 15

109

Columbus finally convinced Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s King & Queen to finance his exploration! King Ferdinand Queen Isabella

Monday, September 21, 15

110

Columbus touched land on an island of the Bahamas. He thought he was in India, so he called the people Indians.

Columbus died still believing he had found a new route to Asia. He Was Lost!

Monday, September 21, 15

111

Many People Argue that Columbus didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discover anything! What do you think?

Monday, September 21, 15

112

Spain had sent Columbus to explore Portugal had sent Vespucci to explore Both countries wanted a claim in the New World They went to the Pope for help Monday, September 21, 15

113

Portugal & Spain were in a race to see who could claim the most land and win the rights to a new route to Asia. (India) Both countries went to the Pope to settle their dispute. Pope Alexander VI established : Line of Demarcation This was an imaginary line that ran north & south. This line would divide the world. Everything which had not been claimed yet to the west of the line would belong to Spain l. a g u t r o Everything to the East would belong to P The deal was sealed when the countries signed the

115

A M E R I G O V E S P U C C I

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until 1507 that another Italian explorer discovered Columbus had been wrong! Amerigo Vespucci realized he was in a New World rather than Asia. The new continents began to be drawn into the maps as cartographers heard the news! The Cartographers began to write the name America on the maps in honor of the man who discovered them.

Monday, September 21, 15

116

Vasco de Balboa He was an indebted planter who stowed away on a ship to America. He made his way through diseaseridden jungles & swamps to become the very first European to see the Pacific Ocean-this ocean really does lead to China & India. He was around the area of Panama.

Voyage of Magellan 1517 Ferdinand Magellan was from Portugal, but he was sailing for the Spanish. Magellanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission was to try to find a western route to Asia. Magellan began his voyage with 5 ships

Monday, September 21, 15

119

Three of the ships attempted mutiny Two captains were unhappy with Magellanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to stay in South America until the spring When Magellan found out about the Mutiny, he executed one of the Captains He spared the second captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, but left him marooned. Monday, September 21, 15

120

Magellan found a narrow waterway near the southern tip of South America. Magellan Strait was a jagged & rocky water way that stretched 350 miles

Monday, September 21, 15

121

The strong currents & strange winds separated one of the ships from the others. The lost ship was forced to return to Spain. Another ship crashed against the jagged rocks. With only 3 ships left, Magellan made it to the South Sea. He named it The Pacific Ocean! Monday, September 21, 15

122

Magellan finally reached the Philippines Magellan became friends with a local chief & even convinced him to become a Christian The Chief had an enemy Magellan was killed when he got caught in a fight between Chief and his enemy Magellanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew escaped & sailed away on one final ship They were able to keep The Victoria, Magellanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ship.

Monday, September 21, 15

123

The Victoria arrived back in Spain after being gone three years. Though Magellan had been killed on the voyage, since his crew completed the circumnavigation, Magellan was given historical credit. Circumnavigate means to circle the globe

Monday, September 21, 15

124

What Did Magellanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Voyage Prove?

Monday, September 21, 15

The World Was Round The World Was Larger Than Anyone Imagined

125

Recap of Magellanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Voyage Five ships were under his command & three of his ships attempted mutiny because the journey was exhausting & they were running out of food. When Magellan learned of this plan to overtake his command. The blame rested on 2 captains. The plan failed because his crews remained loyal to him. He executed the captain who began the mutiny forgiving the other captain, but leaving him marooned on the coast. Magellan quickly regained control of the voyage.

Monday, September 21, 15

126

The journey continued. He found a narrow water way near the southern tip of South America. (The Strait of Magellan) It was jagged & rocky for 350 miles. The strong currents & strange winds separated one of the ships from the others. This ship was forced to return to Spain. Another of the ships was crushed against the huge rocks. The crew members loaded aboard the other ships and watched the wrecked on go down.

Monday, September 21, 15

127

The crew sailed on to Philippines where Magellan made friends with a tribe and its leader. Magellan even got the leader to accept Christianity. Magellan agreed to help him in a conflict against another tribe.

Monday, September 21, 15

128

The rival chief and his tribe slaughtered Magellan as he came ashore to fight for his new chief friend. Magellan had written in his will that his indentured servant was to be freed, but the remaining shipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; captains refused to free him . Magellanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief friend from the island sent help to free the indentured servant & killed 30 crew members in the process of honoring Magellanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes. All the deaths of crew members in the Philippines prevented the men from sailing all three ships that were remaining.

Monday, September 21, 15

129

They burned one of the ships & loaded the other t wo with crew members. These remaining ships were loaded with valuable spices. They realized one of the final t wo ships was taking on water & it was captured by the Portuguese. It was completely destroyed in a storm after being taken by Portugal. The final ship that remained from Magellanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voyage sailed for home.

Monday, September 21, 15

130

20 of the crew died of starvation before making it home. The captain abandoned 13 more men fearing he would lose his cargo of 26 tons of spices. When the final few made it home, only four of the original 55 crew members made it back alive to Spain. Though Magellan died, the crew he began completed the circumnavigation of the globe. Monday, September 21, 15

131

Magellanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ship was called the Victoria & it was the only Ship that made it back.

Monday, September 21, 15

132

What Did Magellan’s Voyage Prove? • Proved beyond any doubt that the world was round • Determined that the Earth was much larger than anyone had ever imagined.
