100 Points Answer ASAP Part A
You receive a message in a bottle from a tropical island. It's a page torn from a ship's log. The document is a little water
stained here and there, but you can read most of it. It's a log entry about people trading peacefully. At first glance,
nothing seems to be wrong,
But along with the page, there's another note from people who live on the island. They want to know more about this so-
called admiral who visited their island. They have several questions about this log entry.
Now, read this passage from Christopher Columbus's account for more information about the admiral's visit:
At two o'clock in the morning the land was discovered... [We] saw trees very green, many streams of water, and
diverse sorts of fruits. The Admiral called upon the two Captains, and the rest of the crew who landed to bear witness
that he before all others took possession (as in fact he did) of that island for the king and Queen his sovereigns...
Numbers of the people of the island straightway collected together. Here follow the precise words of the Admiral: "As
I saw that they were very friendly to us, and perceived that they could be much more easily converted to our holy faith
by gentle means than by force, I presented them with some red caps, and strings of beads to wear upon the neck, and
many other trifles of small value, where with they were much delighted... Afterwards they came swimming to the
boats, bringing parrots, balls of cotton thread, javelins, and many other things which they exchanged for articles we
gave them, such as glass beads, and hawk's bells; which trade was carried on with the utmost good will."

Now, think about the event as you read these secondary sources about exploration in the New World:

Age of Exploration
You will write a letter to the people of the island explaining who visited them and why. To prepare for that task, think
about cause and effect. What was the main cause for Columbus's journey? What were two short-term effects? Two long-
term effects? You can use the outline format below to help organize your thoughts.

Plz me asap. upon arrival of european powers on american soil, a quick end came to many native populations. numbers were devastated the longer europeans were present. many empires such as the aztec and inca were taken by force. the natives’ weapons of arrows and rocks were no match for gunpowder, steel swords, and horses. yet even after hostile takeovers, the native americans continued to suffer in numerous ways. according to las casas, the harshness of the encomienda system took many native lives. examples of such harshness included beatings by colonists and exhaustion caused by never-ending labor. natives were forced into slave labor in order to process colonists’ crops such as sugar cane and tobacco. these crops were referred to as “cash crops”. cash crops are crops grown not for sustenance but because they are extremely profitable. the colonies would have natives tend to these crops and they would then be exported to other european nations for high prices in order to make manufactured or processed goods. native slaves were worked for long hours in extremely hot temperatures with very little food, water, or breaks. they suffered savage beatings for working too slow and some were killed for refusal to work due to their exhaustion. poor health is another struggle natives faced upon european colonization. many natives died from hunger once colonists started to take their land. colonists’ cattle trampled native crops such as corn and squash. but possibly the most devastating factor in declining native populations were the diseases brought by europeans and against which the native people had no immunity. these included smallpox, typhus, chicken pox, mumps, and measles. hundreds upon thousands of natives fell to such diseases. entire villages were wiped out in mere days of the first symptom. native cities throughout the americas became desolate from the fast spread of disease. native american empires such as the aztec and the inca fell to the spanish and portuguese in the 1500s. the aztec alone had between sixteen and eighteen million people under their rule before europeans landed on the continent. why were these empires unable to fight the inevitable take over of european powers? use evidence from the text to support your answer.
