The great dying killed 90% of the Native American population. Americans died from disease from the invasion of the Europeans. When America died out the Europeans brought their crops, and farm animals over, and claimed America their land. This is seen to be one of the greatest tragedies in the history of the human species.
The Scientific Revolution began in the middle decades of the sixteenth century and continued through the early part of the eighteenth century. It involved gradual developments in astronomy, physics, chemistry, and biology.With the beginnings of Scientific Revolution, scholars tried to understand the world from a natural science perspective. This no longer was claimed with faith and religion, now their was an actual scientific answer to explaining some important things. with the birth of the scientific revolution religion was changed.
the slave trade- of all the commercialties that linked the early modern world into a global network of exchange, none had more profound or enduring human consequences then the atlantic slave trade. Between the 11th and 19th century, 11 million people from Africa societies were shipped to America. they were unrespected and treated horribly. this really makes me sad that people could treat others in such a harsh manor, as well as claim them their property.

  1. Hi Roxanne! Reading about the great dying is heartbreaking and it also made me think about our reading assignment this week. It is hard to believe in both cases that so many innocent people died. Unfortuantely, it seems like in History there are too many examples of these tragedies.
