The Red Shoe Chapter Summary

There are both negative and positive attributes of The Columbian Exchange. It lasted during the years of expansion and discovery, but shaped the world as we know it today. This transfer had a direct impact on the cultures of North America and Europe, which introduced unfamiliar animals, diseases, and plants. The Columbian Exchange was a significant ecological event that changed the lives of people on both continents. Horses were introduced to the New World by Spanish Conquistadors.

When looking at the early twentieth-century conservation movement to help preserve the environment. Although Gifford Pinchot laid down some ground-breaking work for environment protection in the early twentieth century, Gifford had good intentions for protecting the environment. His policies he put into practice helped protect the environment for industry and entrepreneurs. Well into the twentieth century American was well into expending westwards with the idea of manifest density. This was both good and bad for the American people and the economy because this meant that resources from across American could be more easily harvested and brought back to the factories and use for industry.

Emperor K’ang-hsi believed hunting is training for war, a test of discipline and organization. K’ang-hsi used a strict, traditional military system. He was very grateful for what innovations the Jesuits offered his military. Our knowledge of the sciences helped with the advancement of guns and cannons, among other things. The Jesuit knowledge of the stars allowed K’ang-hsi to hunt with astronomy, rather than

The invasion of the "New World" by European explorers was a significant event which brought on many consequences. The Europeans, who has been isolated for around a thousand years, were eager to explore this new territory, and impose its beliefs upon the natives. The Exploration and colonization of the New World by Europeans impacted the native peoples in both a positive and negative way. The Spanish introduction of many new trades, as well as agricultural techniques helped the Natives grow society and provided a new source of income. However, the introduction of many foreign diseases, and the violent push to convert people to Christianity greatly outweighed the positive effects of the colonization of the new world.

The Age of Exploration is what causes Americans to now celebrate Columbus Day. The Age of Exploration inspired Christopher Columbus to sail west to find the Northwest Passage and wealth. Although it is believed that Columbus was not the first to make it to the New World his discovery caused massive change. The Age of Exploration sparked by the desire of more successful trade routes and goods set off the momentous, Colombian Exchange which led to the spread of disease and swop of animals as well as crops. The Age of Exploration was initiated by the Europeans because of their desire for luxury goods from Asia and a faster way of getting them.

The North American Free Trade Agreement has provided many benefits for North America. Because of NAFTA, trade, jobs, and economic growth have greatly increased between Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Along with these advantages many drawbacks can be found. One of the major issues concerning NAFTA is the agricultural competition between the United States and Mexico. NAFTA needs to address the conflicts that Mexican farmers are facing because a large portion of Mexican farmers are losing their jobs, making sacrifices, and stressing their lands causing environmental problems.

The Spanish and English were relatively successful in the New World in that the trade economy grew, travel allowed for expansion, and new ideas were spread throughout the globe. However, along with the spread of new ideas came the spread of diseases, expansion resulted in the destruction of numerous cultures and the growth of the trade economy was disastrous for natives. The successes in the New World were extremely beneficial to both the English and the Spanish. The Spanish conquering of the Aztec Empire in 1521 inspired a chain of events, and they were able to take Aztec gold and land which helped the Spanish expand their country and economy. Similarly, the creation in colonies in North America by England resulted in wealth from crops such

Natives in New France were essential for the fur trading business since they were excellent guides. As a result of the fur trade, trading posts were created which caused the creation of permanent settlements, along the St. Lawrence River. Due to the fur trade, this allowed for an exchange of commodities to occur as well as religion and culture. With the introduction of goods and a blasting economy many saw British North America as a great opportunity to create wealth. However, most indentured servants that arrived in Virginia realized that obtaining wealth was a hard thing to accomplish.

From 1550 to 1700, the Columbian Exchange affected both Europe’s economy and population. Travelers brought a variety of animals, plants, and diseases back to Europe from the New World. These imports had both positive and negative effects. The European population benefitted from the variety of healthy vegetables, like corn and potatoes.

The agriculture, disease, and livestock of the Columbian Exchange established the growth and impact in Europe between 1550 through 1700. With the introduction of crops that could grow in uninhabitable areas, the consequences of disease, and animals that provide more food, the growing demand of goods from the New World resulted in the flourishing of Europe. The agriculture from the New World provided Europe with many opportunities. In Ireland, potatoes were essential resources.

The Colombian Exchange Since the first American colonies were established, Britain had always intended to use its citizens and resources to reap a grand profit for themselves to keep their top ranking as the best imperialist country. The nutritious foodstuffs grown from the colonies caused a dramatic rise in the population, health, and life expectation of the European peoples. Although Europe 's population and economy may have thrived due to the Colombian Exchange during the late 1600 's and early 1700 's, the Americas, however, were forced to endure warfare based upon the conflicts between the Natives cultural traditions and the colonists imperialistic views, and diseases that wrought havoc on both populations from the lack of immunity. As the Americas sent over food grown from their land such as corn or potatoes, the quality of life was forever changed for the European citizens, who had before been recovering from a period of epidemics caused by poor hygiene.

There was more to consider in adding a huge swath of land to a country than just the profits. Three things were necessary to address in attempting to open the Northwest territory: Legislation for the new land, Natives Americans living in the land, and how to Americanize the new land. Before anything else, the new territory would need laws to protect and govern the people. The laws for this territory are called the Northwest Ordinance. It secured basic rights for the Americans living in the territory, but it has some clauses that are greatly important.

In conclusion, the European in the 15th and 16th centuries had some positive effects on the human race expansion.

The European conquest on the peoples had a great impact on the ecologies of the Americas, both positive and negative. In the beginning, for example when Francisco Pizarro began his conquest of the most powerful state in the New World, the Incan Empire, he brought many new things. He brought the knowledge of utilization of domestic animals, such as cattle and horses, to be beneficial to the whole society. The knowledge of using their muscle to capitalize on productivity of farmland, something that the Incas never had. James Diamond supports this by showing the great geographical advantages that the Europeans, especially the Spanish, had to their Incan counterparts.
