2. 3.4 NOTES THE RACE FOR EMPIRES

3. Standards  European countries established colonies in North America as a means of increasing wealth and power  Competition for control of territory and resources in North America led to conflicts among colonizing powers.

4. Essential Question  What impact did the settlements of France, Spain, Great Britain, Sweden, and the Netherlands have on North America?

5. French Settlement  In the early 1500’s, Spain and France competed for colonies and settlements in the Americas.  The French tried to establish colonies in Florida, and were driven out by the Spanish  Due to the explorations of Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain, the French began to settle in present-day eastern Canada.  The French soon began to establish small trading communities and fishing villages along the northeastern coast of North America.

6. French Settlement  Samuel de Champlain traveled along the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes. o He also founded Quebec o He explored areas in present day New York and Vermont  Lake Champlain in Vermont is named after him  The Great Lakes were valuable to France because of the fur trade o Europeans used animal furs (especially beaver pelts) to make hats and coats

8. French Settlement  The French also traded tools, jewelry, and cloth with Native Americans in exchange for furs  The French began using Native American clothing and customs in order to survive the harsh winter weather o The French used Indian canoes and snowshoes in order to travel more efficiently.  The French generally treated American Indians with more respect than other Europeans, because of the relationship they built through trade.

9. Expansion of the French Empire  Eventually, the French began spreading out from the Great Lakes region  Fur traders, explorers, and missionaries headed south toward New Spain  French missionaries also traveled along the Mississippi River towards present-day Arkansas

10. Expansion of the French Empire  René-Robert de La Salle – claimed the Mississippi Valley for King Louis XIV of France. o He named this territory Louisiana, after the king.  The French territory in the Americas was called New France. o While the number of settlers were not large, only about 12,000, there were a number of outposts established such as Detroit and New Orleans

11. The Dutch (country called the Netherlands)  The Dutch came to America in search of trade  Henry Hudson’s exploration gave the Dutch a claim to land in N.A. that they called New Netherland  This is modern day New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Delaware  New Amsterdam is what is now New York City Sweden and Denmark  Also had small colonies in N.A., but were not successful

12. English Settlements  The English also decided to start their own North American colonies  Sir Walter Raleigh paid for an expedition that landed in present-day Virginia and North Carolina  He named the entire area Virginia.

13. English Settlement  He also established a colony on Roanoke Island, which failed o The English colonists had a difficult life, as they constantly would fight with Native Americans and had trouble finding and growing food. o Most of the settlers returned to England.  John White resettled a colony on Roanoke Island. o His granddaughter, Virginia Dare, was the first English child born in the present-day United States

14. English Settlement  White returned to England, and did not return to the colony until 3 years later.  Upon his return, he found the buildings still standing, but the colony deserted  White searched for the settlers and his granddaughter, but he never found them  Historians are still not certain just what happened to the colony.
