ASSIGNMENT

We studied the arrival of the Europeans and their presence in the Americas. The Spanish, the French and the English will all have part in the establishment of the United States. With the Europeans’ arrival we will also see a clash of cultures between the Old and New World.

How did the Columbian Exchange transform the Americas on the one hand and Europe on the other? Spanish explorations in America provided wealth to the Spanish crown and Spanish investors. What impact did Spanish actions have on native peoples? And, how are Native Americans seen today especially in our educational system?
