During the 17th century, after the discovery of North America, Europeans immediately began the journey of colonizing the area. Emerging from these newly established colonies were New England and the Chesapeake. These two areas were built along the Atlantic Coast, housing hundreds of European settlers. However, as the people of New England and the Chesapeake began to construct societies of their own, the differences between the two colonies escalated. The differences between the European societies were due to the contrasting reasons for settlement in the Americas.…
Spain acted as one of the first major colonizers of the New World and married Spanish culture into these lands. Colonization allowed Spain to expand its influence and exploit the Americas for natural resources and labor. These efforts secured Spain’s place as one of the strongest countries and allowed a profitable system off the Columbian…
The Spanish, French, and Dutch colonies in North America all interacted with the Native Americans during the 16th century. Spain’s extreme subjugating approach and views on freedom and religion differed from the accepting and collaborative views of the French and the Dutch. Although the French and Dutch had apparent positive approaches compared to Spain, oppression of the Native Americans occurred under the control of all three colonies. The Spanish were the first to colonize North America and their approach lacked moral compass.…

There are different management styles that helped the colonies prosper, or caused them to fail. They’re government, economy, population push and pull factors, religious tolerance and labor needed to be managed properly in order for success.…
While Latin American colonies and North American colonies differed in indigenuos peoples and their interactions, they were similar in their need for slave labor. Interactions between the natives, slaves, and Europeans were also different. In Latin America, many men had relations with native and slave women, eventually some married the natives. This caused a new social order to develop between the people in Latin American colonies, dividing everyone based on race, with titles such as mestizo, mulattoes, and zambos. In North American colonies, such relationships were frowned upon and were rare, but some mixing of the cultures occurred.…
First, both the Spanish and the Americans had a racial and hierarchical, political and social system that rose from the transculturation of different races. From the Spanish conquest and colonization, new Latin American cultures…
As the “Age of Discovery” unfolded, Spanish and French Catholics were the first to arrive, beginning in the sixteenth century. Profit-minded Spanish conquistadors and French fur traders competed for land and wealth, while Spanish and French missionaries competed for the “saving of souls.” By the mid-century, the Spanish had established Catholic missions in present-day Florida and New Mexico and the French were steadily occupying the Great Lakes region, Upstate New York, Eastern Canada and, later, Louisiana and the Mississippi Delta. Many of the European missionaries who energetically sought to spread Christianity to Native peoples were motivated by a sense of mission, seeking to bring the Gospel to those who had never had a chance to hear it, thereby offering an opportunity to be “saved.” In the context of the often brutal treatment of Native peoples by early Spanish conquistadors, many missionaries saw themselves as siding compassionately…
Directly following the start of the Commercial Revolution in the 1400s, Spain and England began to colonize the Americas, which was often referred to as the New World. The Spanish and English colonies were both similar and different in several ways. The Spanish and English colonies were slightly alike in the poor and unfair treatment of indigenous people and substantially different in religion and economic base. The Spanish and English were slightly comparable in terms of treatment of indigenous people because of enslavement of native people and taking their land.…
In 1492, Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer, initiated colonization by Europe in the New World when he sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. English and Spanish colonies grew to become very different from one another with frequent similarities. The Spanish colonies and New England greatly differed in terms of control by a European government, were both vastly similar and extremely different in terms of religion, and were largely similar in terms of treatment of indigenous people. The Spanish colonies and New England were slightly similar and greatly different in terms of control by European government due to supporting their European country and their acceptance of European religion.…
During the sixteenth century, North America was the subject of all major empires in Europe. At this time Spain became the most powerful monarchy in both Europe and the Americas (p 35 The American promise). Spains conquest ignited the interest of the English empire. The goal for its exploration conquest was to enlarge their empire overseas, with the Spanish as an example of a successful and achievable mission. Two distinct groups soon settled in different colonies, with the purpose to develop and seek self growth, economical growth, and land expansion.…
When Europeans came to North America for the first time, they called it The New World, because to them it was a land that was mysterious in many ways. The native population that lived in North America was nothing like that of Europe and the environment of North America was even more foreign. There was no way of knowing the effect of European settlement and what the consequences of their actions would be on the native people and the land. Before the invasion of Europeans in North America, the Natives had a system of living. Their way of life and ability to live off the land were soon challenged by European expansion and technology.…
The Spanish exploration of America brought many new foods, types of plants, and forms of wealth to the European world. The wealth brought to Spain from the Americas came at a cost that was paid for by the enslavement and the sufferings of Native Americans and eventually the Africans. The Spanish colonization from 1492 to 1700 was motivated by religious conversion of all peoples in America and the desire for wealth and profit that had a significant impact on the lives of Native Americans and Africans. First, colonization by the Spanish was motivated by religious conversion. Columbus first “discovered” America in 1492.…
