  3. I. Introduction In the last class you learned the scope and focus of this course, which begins with the arrival of the Europeans. You also were introduced to the ten European cultures that explored, claimed, and settled land in North America. Soon we will move on to examine the arrival of each of those ten cultures in order, but since this course will begin with and then constantly revisit the migration of people to North America from Europe and Africa, and then their continuing migration within North America once they arrive, it will be helpful to first examine the motivations for human migration. This topic presents a general theory that historians have developed to explain human migration throughout history and will be useful in this course to analyze the motivations behind the movement of various groups to, and within, North America.

  4. II. Factors Causing Human Migration A. What general factors have caused human beings to migrate in large numbers throughout human history? First we will compile a list on the white board, and then together we will determine how they can be organized into the two columns below. 1. Table of Push-Pull Factors:

  5. B. push-pull theory – explanation of human migration which states that certain negative conditions push people out of one place, and the opposite positive condition pulls them toward a new place Observations: 1. Sometimes people are pushed from a place because of a negative condition, pulled to a new place by the opposite positive condition, only to find a different negative condition once they arrive. Essentially they end up trading one hardship for another. a) Example: The Jamestown colonists were pushed and pulled for various reasons, but find famine, disease, and war in Virginia. 2. Sometimes there are no negative conditions that push people from a place, they are simply pulled to a new place by the positive conditions (fame, fortune, adventure, spread religion). 3. In the case of slavery, people are simply being pushed and not pulled. There is theoretically no positive condition where they are being sent to.

  6. III. Conclusion In this course, we will learn about many different groups of people who migrated to, and then within, North America, each with their own unique set of push-pull factors. In the next two topics, we will look first at the economic factors, then the religious factors, in more depth.

  7. Homework for Next Class 1. Read Chapter 1, Section 3, Pages 16-21: Trade Networks of Asia and Africa (Textbook). 2. Continue working on the Unit 1 Map Project and studying for the map portion of the Unit 1 Exam with the practice quizzes on the SeterraGeography website (due for Topic 1.13).
