Period 1: European Contact in Americas (1 gen 1491 anni – 1 gen 1607 anni)

Descrizione:

Enduring Understanding: Indigenous peoples developed complex societies and methods of interacting with the environment around them. These systems were disrupted and in some cases destroyed by European colonizers, whose arrival and establishment of the Columbian Exchange altered both American and European society. However, indigenous groups resisted colonization efforts, which in some cases successfully led to accommodation of indigenous culture by colonizers.

A difference between the colonization of the English and the Spanish is that the English came to the country trying to assimilate the indigenous people that were there FIRST, but the Spanish weren't taking land that didn't corespond to them. Additionally, the Encomienda system gave the Spanish permission to rule the indigenous people, but the English didn't get that same opportunity.
