SOCIAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES

As European settlements grew throughout the 1600s, European goods flooded native communities. Many native inhabitants abandoned their animal-skin clothing in favor of European textiles. Similarly, clay cookware gave way to metal cooking implements.

NEW OBJECTS

Conflict increased as colonization spread and Europeans placed greater demands upon the native populations, including expecting them to convert to Christianity.

...AND NEW CULTIVATIONS

European expansion in the Americas led to an unprecedented movement of plants across the Atlantic.Enslaved Africans adapted to their new surroundings by learning the use of New World plants through experimentation or from the native inhabitants.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES...

European ideas about owning land as private property clashed with natives’ understanding of land use. Colonizers established fields, fences, and other means of demarcating private property.

When European colonizers landed on unexplored American soil they brought with them diseases for which the native populations had no antibodies. Then took into account a technologically superior military force and the use of horses, never seen before in those lands. The diseases brought by the Europeans, much faster than the armies, spread across America from tribe to tribe, eventually wiping out 95% of the indigenous population.
