1651273617IncasHighly advanced South American civilization that occupied present-day Peru until they were conquered by Spanish forces under Francisco Pizarro in 1532. The Incas developed sophisticated agricultural techniques, such as terrace farming, in order to sustain large, complex societies in the unforgiving Andes Mountains.1
1651273618AztecsNative American empire that controlled present-day Mexico until 1521, when they were conquered by Spanish Hernán Cortés. The Aztecs maintained control over their vast empire through a system of trade and tribute, and came to be known for their advances in mathematics and writing, and their use of human sacrifices in religious ceremonies.2
1651273619CahokiaMississippian settlement near present-day East St. Louis, home to as many as 25,000 Native Americans.3
1651273620Three-sister farmingAgricultural system employed by North American Indians as early as 1000 A.D.; maize, beans, and squash were grown together to maximize yields.4
1651273621MiddlemenIn trading systems, those dealers who operate between the original producers of goods and the retail merchants who sell to consumers. After the eleventh century, European exploration was driven in large part by a desire to acquire Asian goods without paying heavy tolls to Muslim middlemen.5
1651273622CaravelSmall regular vessel with a high deck and three triangular sails. Caravels could sail more closely into the wind, allowing European sailors to explore the Western shores of Africa, previously made inaccessible due to the prevailing winds on the homeward journey.6
1651273623PlantationLarge-scale agricultural enterprise growing commercial crops and usually employing coerced or slave labor. European settles established plantations in Africa, South America, the Caribbean, and the American South.7
1651273624Columbian ExchangeThe transfer of goods, crops, and diseases between New and Old World societies after 1942.8
1651273625The Treaty of Tordesillas (1494)Signed by Spain and Portugal, dividing the territories of the New World. Spain received the bulk of the territory in the Americas, compensating Portugal with titles to lands in Africa and Asia.9
1651273626ConquistadoresSixteenth century Spaniards who fanned out across the Americas, from Colorado to Argentina, eventually conquering the Aztec and Incan empires.10
1651273627CapitalismEconomic system characterized by private property, generally free trade, and open and accessible markets. European colonization of the Americas, and in particular, the discovery of vast bullion deposits, helped bring about Europe's transition to capitalism.11
1651273628EncomiendaSpanish government's policy to "commend," or give, Indians to certain colonists in return for the promise to christianize them. Part of a broader Spanish effort to subdue Indian tribes in the West Indies and on the North American mainland.12
1651273629Noche Triste"Sad night", when the Aztecs attacked Hernán Cortés and his forces in the Aztec capital, Tenochitlán, killing hundreds. Cortés laid siege to the city the following year, precipitating the fall of the Aztec Empire and inaugurating three centuries of Spanish rule.13
1651273630MestizosPeople of mixed Indian and European heritage, notably in Mexico.14
1651273631Battle of AcomaFought between Spaniards under Don Juan de Oñate and the Pueblo Indians in present-day New Mexico. Spaniards brutally crushed the Pueblo peoples and established the territory as New Mexico in 1609.15
1651273632Popé's RebellionPueblo Indian rebellion which drove Spanish settlers from New Mexico.16

1651273638Joint-stock CompanyShort-term partnership between multiple investors to fund a commercial enterprise; such arrangements were used to fund England's early colonial ventures.22
1651273639CharterLegal document granted by a government to some group or agency to implement a stated purpose, and spelling out the attending rights and obligations. British colonial charters guaranteed inhabitants the rights of Englishmen, which helped solidify colonists' ties to Britain during the early years of settlement.23
1651273640JamestownFirst permanent English settlement in North America founded by the Virginia Company.24
1651273641First Anglo-Powhatan WarSeries of clashes between the Powhatan confederacy and English settlers in Virginia. English colonists torched and pillaged Indian villages, employing tactics used in England's campaign against the Irish.25

Ensured that Maryland would continue to attract a high proportion of Catholic immigrants throughout the colonial period.27
1651273644Barbados slave codeFirst formal statute governing the treatment of slaves, which provided for harsh punishments against offending slaves but lacked penalties for the mistreatment of slaves by masters. Similar statutes were adopted by Southern plantation societies on the North American mainland in the 17th and 18th centuries.28
1651273645SquattersFrontier farmers who illegally occupied land owned by others or not yet officially opened for settlement. Many of North Carolina's early settlers were squatters, who contributed to the colony's reputation as being more independent-minded and "democratic" than it's neighbors.29
1651273646Tuscarora WarBegan with an Indian attack on Newbern, North Carolina. After the Tuscaroras were defeated, remaining Indian survivors migrated northward, eventually joining the Iroquois Confederacy as its sixth nation.30
1651273647Yamasee IndiansDefeated by the South Carolinians in the war of 1715-1716. The Yamasee defeat devestated the last of the coastal Indian tribes in the Southern colonies.31
1651273648BufferIn politics, a territory between two antagonistic powers, intended to minimize the possibility of conflict between them. In British North America, Georgia was established as a buffer colony between British and Spanish territory.32
1651273649Iriquois ConfederacyBound together five tribes - the Mohawks, the Oneidas, the Onondagas, the Cayugas, and the Senecas - in the Mohawk Valley of what is now New York State.33
1651273650CalvinsimDominant theological credo of the New England Puritans based on the teachings of John Calvin. Calvinists believed in predestination - that only "the elect" were destined for salvation.34
1651273651PredestinationCalvinist doctrine that God has foreordained some people to be saved and some to be damned. Though their fate was irreversible, Calvinists, particularly those who believed they were destined for salvation, sought to lead sanctified lives in order to demonstrate to others that they were in fact members of the "elect."35
1651273652ConversionIntense religious experience that confirmed an individual's place among the "elect," or the "visible saints." Calvinists who experienced conversion were then expected to lead sanctified lives to demonstrate their salvation.36
1651273653PuritansEnglish Protestant reformers who sought to purify the Church of England of Catholic rituals and creeds. Some of the most devout Puritans believed that only "visible saints" should be admitted to church membership.37
1651273654SeparatistsSmall group of Puritans who sought to break away entirely from the Church of England; after initially settling in Holland, a number of English Separatists made their way to Plymouth Bay, Massachusetts in 1620.38
1651273655Mayflower CompactAgreement to form a majoritarian government in Plymouth, signed aboard the Mayflower. Created a foundation for self-government in the colony.39
1651273656Massachusetts Bay ColonyEstablished by non-separating Puritans, it soon grew to be the largest and most influential of the New England colonies.40
1651273657Great MigrationMigration of seventy thousand refugees from England to the North American colonies, primarily New England and the Caribbean. The twenty thousand migrants who came to Massachusetts largely shared a common sense of purpose - to establish a model Christian settlement in the new world.41
1651273658AntinomianismBelief that the elect need not obey the law of either God or man; most notably espoused in the colonies by Anne Hutchinson.42
1651273659Fundamental OrdersDrafted by settlers in the Connecticut River Valley, document was the first "modern constitution" establishing a democratically controlled government. Key features of the document were borrowed for Connecticut's colonial charter and later, its state constitution.43
1651273660Pequot WarSeries of clashes between English settlers and Pequot Indians in the Connecticut River valley. Ended in the slaughter of the Pequots by the Puritans and their Narragansett Indian allies.44
1651273661King Phillip's WarSeries of assaults by Metacom, King Philip, on English settlements in New England. The attacks slowed the westward migration of New England settlers for several decades.45
1651273662English Civil WarArmed conflict between royalists and parliamentarians, resulting in the victory of pro-Parliament forces and the execution of Charles I.46
1651273663Dominion of New EnglandAdministrative union created by royal authority, incorporating all of New England, New York, and East and West Jersey. Placed under the rule of Sir Edmund Andros, who curbed popular assemblies, taxed residents without their consent, and strictly enforced the navigation laws. Its collapse after the Glorious revolution in England demonstrated colonial opposition to strict royal control.47
1651273664Navigation LawsSeries of laws passed, beginning in 1651, to regulate colonial shipping; the acts provided that only English ships would be allowed to trade in English and colonial ports, and all goods destined for the colonies would first pass through England.48
1651273665Glorious (Bloodless) RevolutionRelatively peaceful overthrow of the unpopular Catholic monarch, James II, replacing him with Dutch-born William III and Mary, daughter of James II. William and Mary accepted increased Parliamentary oversight and new limits on monarchical authority.49
1651273666Salutary NeglectUnofficial policy of relaxed royal control over colonial trade and only weak enforcement of Navigation Laws. Lasted from the Glorious Revolution to the end of the French and Indian War in 1763.50
1651273667PatroonshipsVast tracts of land along the Hudson River in New Netherlands granted to wealthy promoters in exchange for bringing fifty settlers to the property.51
1651273668Blue lawsAlso known as sumptuary laws, they are designed to restrict personal behavior in accord with a strict code of morality. Blue laws were passed across the colonies, particularly in Puritan New England and Quaker Pennsylvania.52
1651273669Indentured servantsMigrants who, in exchange for transatlantic passage, bound themselves to a colonial employer for a term of service, typically between 4 and seven years. Their migration addressed the chronic labor shortage in the colonies and facilitated settlement.53
1651273670Headright systemEmployed in the tobacco colonies to encourage the importation of indentured servants, the system allowed an individual to acquire fifty acres of land if he paid for a laborer's passage to the colony.54
1651273671Bacon's rebellionUprising of Virginia backcountry farmers and indentured servants lead by planter Nathaniel Bacon; initially a response to Governor William Berkeley's refusal to protect backcountry settlers from Indian attacks, the rebellion eventually grew into a broader conflict between impoverished settlers and the planter elite.55
1651273672Royal African CompanyEnglish joint-stock company that enjoyed a state-granted monopoly on the colonial slave trade from 1672 until 1698. The supply of slaves to the North American colonies rose sharply once the company lost its monopoly privileges.56
1651273673Middle passageTransatlantic voyage slaves endured between Africa and the colonies. Mortality rates were notoriously high.57
1651273674New York slave revoltUprising of approximately two dozen slaves that resulted in the deaths of nine whites and the brutal execution of twenty-one participating blacks.58
1651273675South Carolina slave revolt (Stono River)Uprising, also known as the Stono rebellion, of more than fifty South Carolina blacks along the Stono river. The slaves attempted to reach Spanish Florida but were stopped by the South Carolina militia.59

1651273677JeremiadOften-fiery sermons lamenting the waning piety of parishioners first delivered in New England in the mid-seventeenth century; named after the doom-saying Old Testament prophet Jeremiah.61
1651273678Half-way covenantAgreement allowing unconverted offspring of church members to baptize their children. It signifies a waning of religious zeal among second and third generation Puritans.62
1651273679Salem witch trialsSeries of witchcraft trials launched after a group of adolescent girls in Salem, Massachusetts, claimed to have been bewitched by certain older women of the town. Twenty individuals were out to death before the trials were put to an end by the Governor of Massachusetts.63
