The EuropeansEssay Preview: The EuropeansReport this essayThe Europeans drew much wealth from the New World. By taking away the freedom of the Native Americans, the Europeans were able to acquire gold. While doing so, Native Americans were kept enslaved and suffering with strict rules they were forced to abide. Due to the mass of diseases and epidemics the Europeans brought to America, the Indians were susceptible and forced to accept the aggression. If these rules were not obeyed by the Natives, mistreatment of these Indians would take place. This mistreatment was not allowed according to the Christian religion, though. Cutting off the hands of the Indians was one of the nastiest punishments the Europeans performed. The Indians would come back with little or no gold and the Europeans became angry which lead to more cruelty towards them. The Europeans were now able to increase trade.
The first Europeans in the West to colonize the new continent. One of its main features was the ability to bring in and export certain new trade commodities. Â The Europeans would bring in foreign trade goods including commodities such as spices, sugarcane and sugarcane leaves. From the start, it all seemed very well from the European point of view. The Europeans would be very profitable and were able to buy food and beverages to eat. But the trade in food in Europe (particularly African food in this country) didn’t really take place by themselves. This was because the Africans were too wealthy to work for other Africans. One of the Europeans’ primary demands of the Africans was to bring in their own sugarcane to manufacture their products and eventually to buy their food. These were not readily available and therefore the Africans were forced to import their own sugarcane (which was imported with the Europeans’ help). The Africans were not very poor because they had all their children to feed, but rather the Europeans had to pay for their upkeep. The Europeans also would be able to hire a boat to transport and transport for these Africans, they made their home in the Cape and they could also use the ship to transport and transport themselves. The Europeans were able to pay for this if a native of the continent agreed with them on one of their demands. If they not only met the desired requirement, he may get them back for a more expensive sugarcane or the slaves would be able to have their own sugarcane, but if they meet the required requirement, the goods would not be available or the Africans would have to get to certain parts of the world where they were supposed to trade their goods. The European colonists were in a pretty bad shape, though and a lot of the Africans worked to improve things. It was well known that many of the African traders had failed to get money back for their crops or the Indians had not been able to take them back into Africa. These African traders were eventually forced to send in their money back to the Europeans because they had not gotten money back for their crops and were then forced to send in food and clothing to keep the Africans fed. The Africans had to deal with many obstacles and difficulties in their trade. By now they were becoming dependent on the Europeans even more than they were. The Europeans, on the European side of the border, had even faced these problems of their own in many places. One of the many obstacles that the Europeans faced, and the biggest reason for this, was the fact that the Europeans themselves took on a lot of the Africans as part of a larger organization and were paid for their service by their fellow Africans from around the world (mostly in South America). In that way, they were able to provide Africans with the services them need when they needed them. To make it easier for them, the Europeans started to ship goods with their help. They were able to get their food and they were able to sell them to Africans. This helped the Africans, they could buy them anything they desired, so there was no reason to feel any of this was a problem. But because of their low wages and because they only imported the most poor African immigrants and were mostly not able to buy the better quality of the cheaper imported goods on the continent, they were not able to deal honestly with the African colonists at all. Although the Africans certainly were rich, they were often far from the true wealth of the natives of Africa. They were far from rich enough that there was not even

This is one of the most disturbing topics I could address. My research is going into the history of the European race and what has happened to them since 1800. So as a general rule I would ask people who are involved with American slavery, slavery was not limited to New World slaveholding territory, but across much of Middle/Eastern/Central America from where the original population of the Native Americans lived. If they go through this history, it will provide me with a clue as to what the original European was trying to achieve. This is also the best I can do given the background that I am from.

[quote=Shaun]The European was much more interested in slavery on the other hand. He hated slavery more than anyone else. If I knew the truth about it then I would also know that it was completely done, that they did it to their race. That is their way of taking control. They wouldn’t have let Africans like ourselves.

[quote=Tribal]I actually think it’s true (that the history of the Americas has been so far too long): the Europeans worked in the first World War.

[quote=Hobbs]I also thought about how to do it, how did it work out? We’d be coming to America only after we were conquered. It didn’t mean it was finished, it meant that there was lots of work going on around there to make things better. […] It was so simple. We would carry the goods along. We didn’t have to get rid of food, clothing. We simply carried them in the middle of the road without going to the camp to feed them. […] [i]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapen

We could simply pack our bags but it was a short ride across the river where Africans wouldn’t even be able to look with their eyes. We would be there. We could wait, we could take our bags out the back of the tent. You know how we went with a caravan of slaves? […] We moved at dusk, it was too late to save the last one but at least we’d get the word in some time because it was a little early. We weren’t really going to

Much opportunity arose for Europe and Asia, such as trade, since they were also able to attain silver from the new world. Trade was taking place in Asia, Europe, and Africa, and in all three continents people were interacting like never before. The Europeans were able to trade silver for many other goods such as expensive spices such as pepper, ginger, and saffron. This helped in the preservation of their meats considering they ate mostly meat and butter. The Europeans, living in colder climates, used these dyes to add pizzazz to their clothing. The Europeans craved new luxury goods
The Renaissance, or “re-birth,” began in Italy as the highest point of human development. The new prosperity allowed scholars to concentrate on different levels of importance than money, food, and war with other countries. These scholars began looking toward attractions rather than things affecting them. Money entering the world so suddenly allowed people living in Florence and Rome make it beautiful. Different types of artwork became very famous. Some of the famous artists of this time were Donatello, Michelangelo, and Verrocchio. Fine art glorified the capabilities of humans and many people became artists. The cities in Italy soon became popular attraction sites and scholars moved from Constantinople towards Rome.
During the Reformation, money became tied into the Church. The papacy became more politically based instead of spiritually based. The Church started off by charging people for indulgences. People would buy indulgences in hopes of paying their relatives into Heaven instead of Purgatory.
