CCOT: Social & Economic Transformations in the Atlantic During the period from 1492 till 1750, many economic and social events occurred in the Atlantic world as a result of new contact with Western Europe, Africa, and the Americas because of one simple but dangerous act: trade. Within the Atlantic system, the biggest commodity wanted was slaves and silver, but the price of them, cost many lives to be lost and the world to be never the same.

(EX, Puritans lived in small family owned farms and were mostly democratic. Anglicans built huge plantations with slaves, and were pretentious towards the farmers) Colonists profited greatly from trade with Britain, which ended when the they were forced into the French & Indian War The Shaping of North America North America formed 10 million years ago, by breaking apart from the single landmass called Pangea Peopling the Americas
