Foreword

This unit, intended for a senior high school American history course,emphaMzes a comparison of the Anglo- and Latin American colonialsystems. It is assumed that in the intermediate grades or junior highschool considerable attention was given to the individual explorers andcolonial leaders. Since so many of the differences today between AngloAmerica and Latin America stem from the colonial period, this unitshould make a contribution to understanding the present as well as thepast.

Activities Materials

For example: Peoples or cultures havesimilar needs which may be satisfiedin different ways that change with timeand new conditions (e.g., Governmentsto maintain order and provide protectionexisted in Spain and England, and bothwere monarchies; however, the powerof the English king was limited andcontinued to be eroded by Parliament. ).Change in one aspect of a people's cultureaffects and alters other aspects of theirculture (e.g., In England, the growthof trade, an economic change, wasaccompanied by the growth of a mer-chant middle class which demandedand eventually gained political power,a political change.).

Discuss (explain and illustrate) thestatement, "No age -- unless it beour own -- needed a New World'as much as the age of Columbus. u*
