Will cover three main themes contact Commerce and competing philosophies this initial. Covers the time period from 1491 to 1607 from before Columbus's arrival to the founding of Jamestown but let's start with the theme of contacts before the arrival of Europeans native populations in North America developed a wide variety of social political and economic structures based in part on interactions with the environment and for both people's contact changed absolutely everything you must keep in mind that before Columbus discovered the new world it was people by hundreds of very unsophisticated cultures these pre-columbian Native American societies were composed of complex structures and operated with a focus on their interaction with the environment and a society stratified base the capabilities of the people involved when thinking about these societies you can dig deeper by looking at the documents in the supplemental study guide including say coton and Algonquin Village in 1580 this image will give you a visual reference for any question or written piece you may be asked to write four different sections of the exam remember evidence from detailed visuals can be equally as has written documents for this era you should also consider referencing the Aztec city of teotihuacan or modern-day Mexico City or the many complex attributes of the Southwest Puebla civilizations once you've established in understanding of the complex nature of pre-columbian society we come to the second key concept of the AP US History exam and that will be the theme of let's start this discussion by remember in that European overseas expansion resulted in the Columbian Exchange which was a series of interactions and adaptations among societies across the Atlantic with this exchange we can identify a multitude of goods and an equal number of bats okay so once the door was open we have Columbus Landing taking in the intense difference between Europe and the new world the idea and what for riches and gold and the barriers and opportunities that were presented by both go deeper into this and check out the landing of Columbus and 4 92 n Columbus reports on his first voyage in 1493 to read first-hand accounts of his entry into Hispaniola read about the sites the smells the astonishment Columbus and his crew as they met this positively different New World Columbus's arrival in the Caribbean Mark the beginning of the first large-scale interaction and exchange between nations Europe in the America's were flooded with new Goods ideas and riches that promise to change the global Dynamic forever so this brings about a great deal of potential issues but the real question is this what were the long-standing impacts of this air of contact on both the new world and the Americas the Columbian Exchange literally created a biological Marketplace between the new and Old Worlds this interchange of goods Wildlife plants and more revolutionized almost every aspect of life or death for people in both Europe and the new world people Avast for ponderance of people came from the old world to the new world only handfuls of people went from the new world to the old about 4/5 people brought to the new world between 1492 and 1820 were from Africa and they were enslaved  animals Europeans brought the animals to recreate their this had a massive effect on the floor and Fauna of the new world the arrival of the horse also change lifestyles of pompous and Plains Indians allowing them to survive as cohesive plants three-quarters of today's Foods grown for crops originated in the new world corn and potatoes had a specially big effects on European and African spring massive population growth and dependency as in Ireland which led to a famine after a potato blight  cash crops or desirable Commodities in the new began to sustain the system examples of this would be tobacco vanilla chocolate and cotton microbes disease predominately move from the old world to the new summon will be smallpox measles and influenza consider the immense impact of this on people never having any contact with these kinds of ailments pre-contact population numbers are debated shuttles at this point reached 80% in many areas this brings us to our third key concept dealing with the theme of competing philosophies this final concept of the first. directly with how when different cultures meet there's potential for a men's conflict people were faced with changes whether they were ready for it or not make sure you look closely at both the doctrine of discovery I'm 1493 and the writings of bartolome De Las Casas in 1550 as he openly debated the motives of European discoverers and the impact of their actions on the indigenous peoples upon the regardless of whose ideas one out the end of this. Mark the time in Europe where many nations from Little Holland too powerful Spain began campaigns to March into new previously Uncharted territories in an attempt to spread their influence as a final thought you must remember it wasn't just for the material wealth of the new world that Empires contested religious mation played out as Protestants and Catholics contested for The Souls of those living in the new world and as Europeans began to question the treatment of native peoples under their colonial labor systems new workers need to be found the slave trade would eventually bring five times as many Africans as Europeans to the New World before 1820  Springs for skills Focus for this section or taking a look at the multiple choice questions you'll have 55 minutes to answer 55 questions this section will amount to 40% your overall grade so answering all questions even if you're not sure is a good payoff AP multiple choice questions are about a lot more than straight factual knowledge you're not going to be asked to pick between 4 dates of the Mayflower Compact or the correct spelling of the 14th u.s. president is Pierce Pierce that's not really important right now it's more about your interpretation of the ideas presented looking at a map and reasoning out the answer using geography and map skills examining a timeline and drawing a conclusion or interpreting a political car were painting the questions will be drawn from all nine time periods and for each you'll be asked a series of questions I've got a sample question that will review it starts with a graph that focuses on relation increase or decline over a period of time the question reads as follows the pattern on the graph from 1630 to 1750 reflects which of the following conflicts with Native Americans beat a growing dependence on indentured servants until 1700 when slavery increase significantly see the English tradition of primer miniature resulted in an influx of migration the exclusive dependence on African slavery to answer this question appropriately will go through Two Steps step one look closely at the graph provided pay attention to the labels on the axes and the numbers that Mark both population and years this is the information you'll need to interpret and understand to answer the question correctly also it is essential that you pay close attention to the key at the bottom so you know what the graphs data showing a measure of in this case we were looking at population in the thousands span of yours and question and types of people arriving in the new world step to read the questions carefully this one is about identifying patterns on a graph identify key which that relates to the information on the graph this would be whites Indians and Africans identify where the information begins to match up white and black population show some similarities eliminate implausible answer choices for see there have to be an impossible number of first born English man coming to the new world for this to be true for D the word exclusive all aspects of white indentured servitude which was still a reality during the time period shown on the graph this brings us to the correct answer which is be built the drop in Native American population could resulted from extensive conflicts with colonist of different European nations the graph shows more substantial support for the comparison between increasing numbers of white Europeans matched up with a sharp Inc is it African slaves around 1700 most questions will require this kind of interpretation not just a rote memorization of AP u.s. History facts keep your eye on the time and remember it is what's your wild to answer all of the questions you can get more practice with the supporting materials and documents attached to the AP u.s. history study guide on the Gilder lehrman website
