Answer Key
Test name: chapter 1
1)Answers will vary but should include the following:
● Divided roughly at what is today called the Rio Grande, northern areas
generally had smaller human populations and less advanced civilizations
than southern areas.
● The most elaborate of the indigenous civilizations was in South and
Central American and in Mexico. The largest of these was the 2,000mile-long Inca empire.
● Some civilizations in the north relied on hunting, gathering, and
fishing while others were primarily agricultural. For example, the Inuit
in the Arctic Circle fished and hunted seals; the ancient Pueblo in the
Southwest were farmers with a thriving cultural and commercial center
in Chaco Canyon. Further east, the Woodland Indians farmed, hunted,
gathered and fished while in the Southern trading center of Cahokia,
indigenous people traded agricultural goods as well as tools and pottery.
In the Northeast, settlements were less permanent and indigenous groups
were loosely linked by language and trade.
2)Answers will vary but should include the following:
● The biggest difficulty for indigenous peoples was the devastation
caused by European diseases. Not only did indigenous Americans lack
biological resistance to these diseases, but also the ways in which they
traditionally cared for the sick (personal care rather than isolation)
accelerated their spread.
● Both Europeans and indigenous Americans benefitted from exchanges
of crops and animals. The Europeans introduced sugar, bananas, and
domesticated livestock while New World corn, beans, potatoes, and
other crops were introduced to Europe by returning travelers.
● One of the most significant exchanges involved systems of enslaved
labor. While some indigenous people were enslaved by Europeans, there
were simply not enough people to meet European labor demands. As a
result, settlers began transporting enslaved people from Africa as early
as 1502.
3)Answers will vary but should include the following:
● The bubonic plague had killed a significant portion of the European
population in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, but by around 1600,
the population had grown significantly. This resulted in a new demand
for goods that coincided with technological advances in navigation.
Europeans could now sail further in search of trade to satisfy growing
markets at home.
● Paralleling this growth, European governments had grown from
ineffective feudal arrangements to powerful, centralized systems with
strong monarchs who wanted the money and power trade could bring.
4)Answers will vary but should include the following:
● The African slave trade was not created as a result of Europeans
settling in the New World and demanding laborers, but it was impacted
by that settlement.
● In the sixteenth century, European demand for sugar surged and the
existing Mediterranean areas that produced the crop were insufficient.
Sugarcane production spread to the Portuguese colonial island of
Madeira and then to the Caribbean islands and Brazil, an eventually to
English colonies in North America.
● Producing sugarcane is labor intensive and enslaved African people
provided that labor. The growing slave trade was dominated first by the
Portuguese, then by the Dutch, and finally, at the end of the sixteenth
century, by the English.
5)Answers will vary but should include the following:
● In the sixteenth century, the English population was increasing but the
food supply was decreasing. Because of a surge in demand for wool,
landowners were using their fields to pasture sheep rather than grow
food. In the colonies, land was abundant.
● As England began producing more wool, it fueled the growth of a
class of merchant capitalists who needed new markets for their goods.
When these merchants joined together to form companies, those
companies were increasingly granted royal charters that gave them
trading rights. Investors in those companies grew rich and spurred the
growth of mercantilism.
● The central tenet of mercantilism is that nations must sell as much as
possible to foreign lands while purchasing from them as little as
possible. This goal was achieved more easily if a nation had colonies
that could provide both raw materials to supply the nation’s industries as
well as markets for the nation’s finished goods.
