Most groups have beliefs about where they came from,and only if you were Native american did you have relatives in America long ago,10,000 years ago!For thousands of years did the natives have the american continent to themselves,and the europeans didn't begin to show until a little over 500 years ago,scientists today are still studying the few written things that the first americans left behind. -
How the natives are adapting to their enviornments
Thousands of years later,thei ndigenous spread across both the North and South America.The physical surroundings included land,water,animals,plants,and climate.The indigenous peoples survived by changing their style of living to suit each enviornment,climate,and it's natural resources.Eventually overtime the cultures emerged and natives started developing new cultures,they left using artifacts behind. -

Slavery Appears
On this day in history we discussed how slavery began to appear,and belive it or not ,the death of the native americans introduced the appearance of african slaves to the Americas.In the late 1400s,european explorers in West Africa were trading guns and other goods for slaves captured by africans.In the 1500s,european slave traders began shipping slaves to the Carribean for sale. -
Trade
Eventually people started to trade,and trade is when you buy or sell things within a country or between countries,and some common things they started to trade where crude oil,coffee,natural gas,gold,silver,etc.BUT,there was 1 BIG EXCEPTION... slaves had to come into play they had to be traded and sold,11,600,000 africans were transported to the Triangle trade,and the population of Ohio was 11,544,951!!! -
Why did the trade begin?and why africans?
The trade began 1450-1870,and in 1650 the slavery trade increased dramatically ,it peaked in 1775,and it decreased in the 1800s.Why africans were picked,well,because they attempted slavery first with natives,second with indentured servants,which are poor europeans,so they turned to african americans. -
Inca Empire

In Tenochtitlan with the help of Indians who hated their Aztec ruler and smallpox,Cort'ez took over Tenochtitlan in 1521. -
Inca Empire,continued
There was an 80 day siege(attack),and 240,000 Aztecs died!,and 100 spanish soldiers died.The spanish took down Tenochtitlan and used the stones to build Mexico City,and the conquistadors later found gold and silver in central South America,that they had already conquered. -
Spanish Conquistadors
On this day in history we talked about how Spain sent conquistadors across the Atlantic,a conquistador is a spanish soldier that explores things,their mission is to conquer territories to create an empire of riches for Spain. In the Aztec empire, conquistador Cort'ez and his men reach the aztec Tenochtitlan, when they arrived the aztecs were shocked,because they had never seen men dressed in armor and had horses,some of the aztecs even mistaked Cort'ez for an aztec god named Quetzacoalt! -
Juan Ponce De Leo'n
Juan Ponce De Leo'n,was a man whom sailed with Columbus,and made his fortune off of finding gold on the island of Puerto Rico.Even though Ponce had wealth,he wanted more!He had heard indian rumors about "the fountain of youth" it was said that it made old people young again. Ponce made it his mission to find it,he later landed on a peninsula(an area of land almost completely surrounded by water)and named it La Florida "flowery". 8 years later he returned with 200 men to make a spanish colony. -
His death
Juan Ponce de Leo'n clearly forgot that there were natives already living on the island,and they aren't going to just give over the land that easily,so the natives tried to drive off the invaders with poison arrows,and sadly Ponce De Leo'n got hit in the stomach by one of them. -

The settlers
In 1598, the spanish took 400 settlers and 7,000 animals from Mexico to New Mexico,and the journey took over half a year! When the spanish first arrived the Pueblo Indians welcomed them,but that nice feeling when the spanish made the indians their slaves. -
