Cortés' army besieged Tenochtitlan for 93 days before capturing the city thanks to superior weaponry and a devastating smallpox outbreak. Cortés' victory destroyed the Aztec empire, and the Spanish began to consolidate control over what became the colony of New Spain.

<h3>What impact did Spanish colonization have on the Aztecs?</h3>

Negative Impact: Empire Destruction

  • Cortes defeated the Aztec Empire's capital city, Tenochtitlan, after three months of fighting. The emperor Cuauhtémoc was captured and executed later that year, and Cortes became ruler of the vast empire. The Aztecs who survived were extremely vulnerable to European diseases that were previously unknown to their culture, such as smallpox and typhus. Smallpox wiped out Tenochtitlan's population in 1521.
  • According to the New World Encyclopedia, two subsequent epidemics killed 75 percent of the remaining population. Surviving Aztecs were forbidden from learning about their indigenous culture and were forced to read and write in Spanish. Many aspects of Aztec culture were lost for good.

Positive Impact: Lifestyle Enhancements

  • Because they helped modernize the Aztec society, the Spanish had a positive impact on Aztec civilization. They introduced domestic animals, sugar, grains, and European farming practices to the Aztecs.
  • Most notably, the Spanish abolished the Aztec practice of human sacrifice. According to the New World Encyclopedia, the Aztecs sacrificed human victims at each of their 18 annual festivals. Torture, such as shooting victims with arrows, burning them, or drowning them, was frequently used in human sacrifice rituals.

Question 17 (Mandatory) (1 point)
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Notable differences are found in the way social life was structured among regions. For the people of the South, life emerged as rugged and rural while people of the North are heavily connected to the Church and village community. These cultural differences remained and shaped some of the confrontations that needed to be addressed during the Civil War .

Thus: True

Explanation:

Historical Background

Colonial America depended on the natural environment to meet basic needs of the people and the colony. The available natural resources provided (or in essence dictated) what each region’s unique specialty would be or become. Specialized economies quickly emerged as a result of human and environmental interaction.

Colonial America also had regional differences among culture or historical reason for establishment as a colony. The Southern Colonies were established as economic ventures and were seeking natural resources to provide material wealth to the mother country and themselves. In contrast, the early New England colonists were primarily religious reformers and separatists. They were seeking a new way of life to glorify God and for the greater good of their spiritual life. The Middle colonies welcomed people from various and diverse lifestyles. The social-political structure included all three varieties: villages, cities, and small farms.

Another difference is clearly noted in the human resources. New England had skilled craftsmen in the industry of shipbuilding. The Mid-Atlantic presented a diverse workforce of farmers, fisherman, and merchants. The Southern Colonies were primarily agricultural with few cities and limited schools. As these regions developed highly specialized economies, each could not supply everything that was needed or at least not as effectively as an interdependent system – they relied on each other for certain items or skills.

New England’s economy at first specialized in nautical or boating equipment, while later the region developed mills and factories. The environment is ideal for water-powered machinery (mills), which allowed for finished products to be crafted, such as woven cloth and metal tools. The middles colonies had rich farmland and a moderate climate. This made it a more suitable place to grow grain and livestock than New England. Their environment was ideal for small to large farms. The coastal lowland and bays provided harbors, thus the middle colonies were able to provide trading opportunities where the three regions meet in market towns and cities. The Southern colonies had fertile farmlands which contributed to the rise of cash crops such as rice, tobacco, and indigo. Plantations developed as nearly subsistent communities. Slavery allowed wealthy aristocrats and large landowners to cultivate huge tracts of land. When strictly examining the geography of New England compared to the South, it is plausible that the vast space of the Southern region influenced the way it remained rural and still today holds that as a sense of pride or shared experience/identity.

Notable differences are found in the way social life was structured among regions. For the people of the South, life emerged as rugged and rural while people of the North are heavily connected to the Church and village community. These cultural differences remained and shaped some of the confrontations that needed to be addressed during the Civil War
