Zorluk: OrtaEuropean Colonization Models

George Alsop, *A Character of the Province of Maryland*, 1666:

"The three main Commodities of this Country, and which are the greatest encouragement for people to transport themselves hither, are, Traffic [trade], Tobacco, and Land... The Merchant trades for Tobacco, and the Planter grows it... And the servants that are transported hither, if they serve their time with diligence, they are sure of a comfortable subsistence afterwards..."

Which of the following best describes how the colonization model depicted in the excerpt differed from the Spanish colonization model?

  1. It focused on cash-crop agriculture and relied heavily on European indentured servants who expected to eventually acquire land, rather than subjugating the native population into coerced labor systems.Cevap
  2. B
    It bound European migrants to lifelong, hereditary labor contracts that prevented them from ever acquiring land or independence.
  3. C
    It focused on establishing tightly-knit, family-based religious communities oriented around subsistence agriculture and local town meetings.
  4. D
    It operated through the encomienda system, which was a system of voluntary land grants that did not involve coerced labor or tribute from indigenous populations.

Cevap

The model depicted in the excerpt focused on cash-crop agriculture and relied on European indentured servants seeking land, rather than relying on the subjugation of the native population for coerced labor.
The correct answer is correct because the excerpt describes Maryland, a Chesapeake colony, which developed a plantation economy centered on tobacco and relied on European indentured servants. These servants signed contracts for a fixed term with the expectation of acquiring land and independence afterward. This contrasts with the Spanish model, which relied on the subjugation of the native population to extract wealth through coerced labor systems.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the colonial region and economic activity in the excerpt.
The excerpt describes Maryland, tobacco production, and indentured servants, identifying it as the British Chesapeake colonization model.
Understanding the context of the source is necessary to compare it to other colonization models.
2
Identify the main features of the Spanish colonization model.
The Spanish model focused on extracting wealth and converting indigenous populations, utilizing coerced labor systems like the encomienda.
This establishes the point of comparison requested by the prompt.
3
Compare the two models' economic goals and labor structures.
The British model in the Chesapeake relied on cash crops (tobacco) and voluntary/contractual European labor (indentured servants) with the promise of land, while the Spanish model relied on coerced native labor.
This directly answers the prompt's question about the difference between the two models.
