APUSH Concept Outline (rev. Fall 2015)
PERIOD 1: 1491–1607
Key Concept 1.1: As native populations migrated and settled across the vast expanse of North America over time, they developed distinct and increasingly complex societies by adapting to and transforming their diverse environments.
I. Different native societies adapted to and transformed their environments through innovations in agriculture, resource use, and social structure. / A) The spread of maize cultivation from present-day Mexico northward into the present-day American Southwest and beyond supported economic development, settlement, advanced irrigation, and social
diversification among societies. / B) Societies responded to the aridity of the Great Basin and the grasslands of the western Great Plains by
developing largely mobile lifestyles. / C) In the Northeast, the Mississippi River Valley, and along the Atlantic seaboard some societies developed mixed agricultural and hunter-gatherer economies that favored the development of permanent villages. / D) Societies in the Northwest and present-day California supported themselves by hunting and gathering, and
in some areas developed settled communities supported by the vast resources of the ocean.
Key Concept 1.2: Contact among Europeans, Native Americans, and Africans resulted in the Columbian Exchange and significant social, cultural, and political changes on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
I. European expansion into the Western Hemisphere generated intense social, religious, political, and
economic competition and changes within European societies. / A) European nations’ efforts to explore and conquer the New World stemmed from a search for new sources of wealth, economic and military competition, and a desire to spread Christianity. / B) The Columbian Exchange brought new crops to Europe from the Americas, stimulating European population growth, and new sources of mineral wealth, which facilitated the European shift from feudalism
to capitalism. / C) Improvements in maritime technology and more organized methods for conducting international trade, such
as joint-stock companies, helped drive changes to economies in Europe and the Americas.
II. The Columbian Exchange and development of the Spanish Empire in the Western Hemisphere resulted in extensive demographic, economic, and social changes. / A) Spanish exploration and conquest of the Americas were accompanied and furthered by widespread deadly
epidemics that devastated native populations and by the introduction of crops and animals not found in the
Americas. / B) In the encomienda system, Spanish colonial economies marshaled Native American labor to support plantation-based agriculture and extract precious metals and other resources. / C) European traders partnered with some West African groups who practiced slavery to forcibly extract slave
labor for the Americas. The Spanish imported enslaved Africans to labor in plantation agriculture and
mining. / D) The Spanish developed a caste system that incorporated, and carefully defined the status of the diverse population of Europeans, Africans, and Native Americans in their empire.
III. In their interactions, Europeans and Native Americans asserted divergent worldviews regarding issues such as religion, gender roles, family, land use, and power. / A) Mutual misunderstandings between Europeans and Native Americans often defined the early years of interaction and trade as each group sought to make sense of the other. Over time, Europeans and Native Americans adopted some useful aspects of each other’s culture. / B) As European encroachments on Native Americans’ lands and demands on their labor increased, native peoples sought to defend and maintain their political sovereignty, economic prosperity, religious beliefs, and concepts of gender relations through diplomatic negotiations and military resistance. / C) Extended contact with Native Americans and Africans fostered a debate among European
religious and political leaders about how non-Europeans should be treated, as well as evolving religious, cultural, and racial justifications for the subjugation of Africans and Native Americans.

Applying What You Have Learned
1.How did the geographic setting of North America—including its relation to Asia, Europe, and Africa—affect its subsequent history?
2.What were the common characteristics of all Indian cultures in the New World, and what were the important differences among them?
3.What fundamental factors drew the Europeans to the exploration, conquest, and settlement of the New World?
4.What was the impact on the Indians, Europeans, and Africans when each of their previously separate worlds collided with one another?
5.What were the greatest achievements of Spain’s New World Empire, and what were its greatest evils and disasters?
6.Should the European encounter with the Indian peoples of the Americas be understood primarily as a story of conquest and exploitation, or as one of mutual cultural encounter that brought beneficial as well as tragic results for both?
Period Perspectives: Consider the data in the chart at right as well as page 1 of the text when completing this section.
/ 1. Period 1 begins with 1491. If the American Indian population in
what is now the United States was nearly 10 million before 1492,
why is the United States population in modern times only 2 to 3% American Indian? / 2. Period 1 ends with the establishment of Jamestown, the first
permanent British settlement in North America. Explain why
1607 is a major turning point in United States history

MAP
The College Board framework for the course includes specific places and locations significant to the development of North America and the United states. This section provides you with the opportunity to locate and review these items.
Directions:
1. Read the framework excerpts located to the right of the map, and ensure you understand & know where/what is referenced.
2. Circle or highlight the following groups: Pueblo, Chinooks, Iroquois, Algonquian, Wamponoags, Pequot, Powhatan
3. Label/Trace the starting point and expansion of maize cultivation.
Source: North American Continent; Western Hemisphere Indian Culture Map, / On a North American continent… The spread of maize cultivation from present-day Mexico northward into the American Southwest and beyond supported economic development and social diversification among societies in these areas; a mix of foraging and hunting did the same for societies in the Northwest and areas of California.
Societies responded to the lack of natural resources in the Great Basin and the western Great Plains by developing largely mobile lifestyles.
In the Northeast and along the Atlantic Seaboard some societies developed a mixed agricultural and hunter–gatherer economy that favored the development of permanent villages.
European overseas expansion resulted in the Columbian Exchange, a series of interactions and adaptations among societies across the Atlantic. The arrival of Europeans in the Western Hemisphere in the 15th and 16th centuries triggered extensive demographic and social changes on both sides of the Atlantic.
