The bombardment of Fort Sumter
Mercantilism is an economic theory designed to maximize the wealth of a nation through accumulation of gold and silver as well as through protectionism. Mercantilism depended on colonies abroad to serve as demand for manufactured goods and also to provide raw materials and other resources
Luxury items that were imported from the orient would be cloths made of pure silk, spices that can only be grown in countries of Asia, exotic perfume extracted from pure oil scents from flowers that only flourish in Asia, and jewels and orbs such as jade and gold that were mined from the oriental mountains.
Answer:
There is a lot of controversy as to whether these explorers should be called heroes due to some of their actions towards the indigenous people in the regions they supposedly "discovered". Christopher Columbus was responsible for the ra-pe, murder, enslavement of thousands of natives on the island of Hispaniola. Many died from smallpox spread to them by the crew.
They sold little girls and forced the natives to mine for gold or die. Over 50k committed mass sui-cide to avoid being killed or enslaved by the Spaniards.
Hispanola had approximately 300k inhabitants when he landed there. Within two years 100k were dead, in the next 50 years the number was down to 300. Each of these men has their own stories of treatment towards the people in the lands they explored. That is why there is question as to whether they should be considered heroes. The question just wants your opinion on the subject.
