  1. Unit 3: Exploration & Colonization of Georgia Georgia Performance Standards: SS8H1b: Evaluate the impact of European contact on Native American culture; include Spanish missions along the barrier islands and the explorations of Hernando DeSoto.

  2. The 1st FiveSeptember 6, 2013 • Write the agenda message • Copy K-W-L Chart in your composition book

  3. Frayer Models: Unit 3 Vocabulary • Define the following terms using the Frayer Model template: • Renaissance • Mission • Conquistador • Christopher Columbus • Juan Ponce de Leon • Gulf Stream • Hernando de Soto Frayer Model Template Mission

  4. Reasons for Exploration • The Renaissance, a “rebirth” and a time of new ideas in Europe, brought about changes in learning, religion, and trade. • It began in Italy in 1350.

  5. Reasons for Exploration • Spices were in great demand by Europeans because: • Meat and fish spoiled too quickly, due to no refrigeration • Spices such as salt, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves helped to preserve food longer • It flavored foods making them tastier

  6. Reasons for Exploration • Customers wanted exotic spices and fabrics from Asia, but transporting spices across great distances by land cost too much money. • Business owners wanted to make bigger profits = More money • Therefore, a shortcut was needed to get merchandise from Asia to Europe = Supply & Demand

  7. Reasons for Exploration • The 3 main reasons that kings and queens (monarchs) financed expeditions (trips) to the New World: • God: To spread Christianity to more people. • Gold: To find riches (Gold, silver, precious stones, & exotic trinkets). • Glory: To become historically famous and to add more territory to their kingdom.

  10. Portuguese Explorers • Portuguese explorers continued to travel farther down the coast of Africa. • 1488-Bartolomeu Dias traveled around the southern tip of Africa. The Portuguese named the tip the Cape of Good Hope. • 1497-Vasco da Gama and his sailors were the 1st Europeans to discover a sea route to Asia. • Portugal became the leader of exploration.

  11. European Exploration • Spain, France, and England wanted to compete with Portugal to discover new sea routes, too! • Rule #1-If you controlled the seas, then you controlled trade with Asia= Power & Wealth

  12. The First FiveSeptember 11, 2013 • Write the Agenda Message Today’sWarm-up: Read & complete the September 11th worksheet (www.edhelper.com, 2013)

  13. Spanish Conquistadors • Conquistador- a Spanish explorer and conqueror who sought to destroy and take over existing cultures in the Americas in the 1500s. • As they explored the Americas, they used guns and swords to defeat Native Americans. While the Native Americans used bows & arrows, and stone tools. • Without knowing it, these explorers carried diseases with them (smallpox, malaria, and measles). • These diseases killed many of the natives in the Americas.

  14. Christopher Columbus • August 1492-Italian Christopher Columbus and his group of ships (Santa Maria, Pinta, & Niña) left Spain to find spices and gold for King Ferdinand & Queen Isabella. • October 12, 1492- He found islands which he thought were part of the Caribbean (A.K.A. West Indies).  • He brought back Native Americans (mistakenly calling them “Indians”).  • He did not find much gold. • The King and Queen of Spain named him, Admiral of the Ocean Sea.

  15. Exploration by Spain • Due to Christopher Columbus’s success in the New World, Spain began to finance more voyages to the Americas. • Spain began to claim more territory and riches than England and France. • Juan Ponce de León was determined to find the “Fountain of Youth” in Florida (claimed for Spain). He came to Florida as early as 1513. • Ponce de León discovered a powerful ocean current called the Gulf Stream. • This ocean current flows from the Gulf of Mexico north along the eastern coast before turning east toward Europe…This helped explorers get back home to Europe quicker!

  16. Exploration by Spain • Lucas Vásquez de Ayllóntried to create the first Spanish settlement along the east coast. • 1521-He settled in present day North Carolina and then moved on to South Carolina. • 1526-He started a colony named San Miguel de Gauldape off the coast of present day Georgia, but it lasted for only one year. • Many of the settlers and Lucas Vásquez de Ayllóndied at the San Miguel de Gauldapecolony.

  17. The First FiveSeptember 12, 2013 • Write the Agenda Message Today’s Warm-up: 3-2-1 Response • What were the 3reasons for exploration to the North America (3Gs)? • What were 2 ways that the Renaissance Period encouraged European exploration? • What is 1 reason why business owners wanted to find a shortcut to Asia?

  18. Hernando DeSoto • 1540-Hernando De Soto and his army (about 600 men) were the 1st Europeans to enter what is now known as Georgia. • They were also the 1st Europeans to cross the Appalachian Mountains. • The Spaniards marched through Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, but never found the gold they sought. • They brutally killed many Native Americans. • Four years later, De Soto died after sustaining injuries during battle and his men never found cities of gold. Half of his army died during the expedition.

  19. Spanish Missions in Georgia • Spain built missions, churches, with small communities around them. • They were built along the Atlantic coast in an attempt to bring Christianity to the Indians. • Also, the missions helped to keep French explorers and army off the coast. • 1566-Pedro Menéndez de Avilésstarted a mission on St. Catherine’s Island called the GualeMission. • Spain controlled the coast and southern part of Georgia for 100+ years with missions and military posts. • By 1700, Spain controlled much of the Americas (South America, Central America, and Mexico).

  27. Failed Exploration by England • 1585-Queen Elizabeth I gave Sir Walter Raleigh permission to start a colony in Virginia, at Roanoke Island. • This colony was not successful, because the settlers ran out of food and supplies. • The colonist disappeared without a trace; therefore, it is known as the “Lost Colony.”

(Monopoly-a company that eliminates it competition and controls an industry) • English traders began to cheat and mistreat the Native Americans because the English had all the power. That is the problem with a monopoly! • 1715- The Yamasee tribe (Creek Indians) led an attack against the English traders of Carolina. The English settlers were able to beat the Yamasees and force them to move to the area known as Alabama.

  31. New World-Old World Exchanges • Both the New World (North and South America) and the Old World (Europe) benefited from exploration. Old World Benefits New World Benefits • Agricultural Products – Rye, radishes, beets, sugar cane, rice, peaches, and wheat all came from Europe to the New World. • Animals – Horses, chickens, pigs, oxen, sheep, goats, and cattle all came from Europe to the New World. Many of these animals destroyed the land and led to the extinction of some native animals. • Agricultural Products – Corn, white potatoes, yams (sweet potatoes), peanuts, and pumpkins all came from the New World and were taken to Europe. • Animals – Turkeys were brought from the New World and taken to Europe.

  32. The Creation of Georgia SS8H2: The student will analyze the colonial period of Georgia History. Explain the importance of James Oglethorpe, the Charter of 1732, reasons settlement (charity, economics, and defense), Tomochichi, Mary Musgrove, and the city of Savannah.

  33. The Creation of Georgia • England wanted a barrier between the Spanish colonies in Florida and the English colonists in Carolina. • 1717- Sir Robert Montgomery proposed (thought of) a new colony built in the area now known as Georgia. This proposed colony was called Azilia. • Due to fears of attacks from the Native Americans and the Spanish in Florida, Azilia was never created.

  34. James Oglethorpe • James Oglethorpe was born in England in 1696. • He was elected into Parliament at 25 years old. He wanted reform (change) in the Jail System in England. • One of Oglethorpe’s friends was put in debtor prison (a person who owes someone money that they can not pay back). His friend died in prison. • James Oglethorpe is considered the founder and father of Georgia.

  35. The Creation of Georgia • At this time, people in England could go to prison for being in debt (owing money). • James Oglethorpe asked King George II for permission to create a colony between South Carolina and Florida to send debtors instead of prison. • Also, this proposed colony would ease: • Overcrowding population in England • Solve the homeless problem in England • Provide work opportunities for the unemployed people of England.

  36. The Creation of Georgia • 1730- James Oglethorpe and 20 other important men became trustees of Georgia (named in honor of King George II). • 1732- The trustees decided to only allow “worthy poor” people with good character to move to Georgia. James Edward Oglethorpe King George II

  37. Why Georgia? 1. Charity– relief for debtors and the “worthy” poor (humanitarian effort) 2. Economics (money) – a self-supporting colony that would provide cheap natural resources for Britain 3. Defense- protection between FL and Charleston; easy to defend because of geography – think regions!

  38. Charter of 1732 • In 1732, King George II created a charter allowing 21 Trustees to create a Georgia colony and oversee it (take care of it) for 21 years. • It included the land between the Savannah and Altamaha rivers and extended west to the Pacific Ocean.

  41. Who is allowed to go? • Those who were selected were hardworking people, just down on their luck. • 35 Families were selected • No debtors were selected!! • Those chosen were promised 50 acres of land, tools, and enough food for one year. • They needed skilled colonists: • Farmers, Carpenters, Tailors, Bakers, & Merchants

  42. The Creation of Georgia • The 21 Trustees reached Yamacraw Bluff (modern day Savannah) and met John & Mary Musgrove, Yamacraw Indians (Creek Indians), and Chief Tomochichi. • Oglethorpe formed a treaty with Chief Tomochichi in order to settle at Yamacraw Bluff. This area had an excellent view and it was close to the trading post store (owned by John & Mary Musgrove). • Oglethorpe and others went back to Charlestown to bring the colonists to Georgia. • February 12, 1733-They arrive at Yamacraw Bluff (colonists named it Savannah). • Treaty of Savannah was signed by Oglethorpe and group of Creek Chiefs…The Creek Indians gave the colonists the land and the colonists agreed to trade with the Creeks at set prices.

  43. Tomochichi and Mary Musgrove • Oglethorpe became friends with Tomochichi, chief of the Yamacraw Indians (Creek Indians). • The Yamacraw Indians were struggling to survive. Tomochichi believed that Oglethorpe would benefit his people and form a new trading partnership. • Mary Musgrove and her husband John created a trading post (a place to trade goods) near the Yamacraw Bluff (Savannah) where they would trade British goods with the Native Americans. • Tomochichi spoke very little English so Mary Musgrove served as the interpreter between Oglethorpe and Tomochichi.
