1513 Written records about life in Florida begin with the arrival of the Spanish explorer and adventurer Juan Ponce de León. On Easter eve, the Spanish conquistador landed near what is now St. Augustine and claimed the territory he named "La Florida" ("feast of the flowers") for Spain.
Ponce De Leon

De Soto arrived on the west coast of Florida on May 30, 1539 with 10 ships carrying over 600 soldiers, priests, and explorers. They spent four years searching for gold and silver, exploring the Southeast , and brutally contacting native societies, including the Cherokees, Seminoles, Creeks, Appalachians, and Choctaws. De Soto died during the explorations and was buried on the banks of the Mississippi River in late June, 1542.

Magellan devised a plan for circling the globe, and King Charles V of Spain gave it his blessing. In 1519, he set out with a fleet of five ships, which were inadequate for the journey. The fleet sailed first to Brazil and then down the coast of South America to Patagonia. There, one of the ships was wrecked. Magellan became involved in a local war in the Philippines, where he was killed in battle on April 27, 1521. In 1522 the remainder of Magellan's fleet returned to Spain completing the trek.

He explored the Hudson River up as far as what later became Albany. On his final journey, Hudson reached another of his namesakes, the Hudson Bay. Traveling south for Britain, Hudson ventured into James Bay and discovered that he'd come to a dead end. A mutiny occurred and Hudson was abandoned to the elements.

John Cabot was a navigator and explorer who crossed the Atlantic in the service of King Henry VII of England, making it possible later for England to claim parts of North America. John Cabot sailed from England in May 1497. Cabot seems to have thought he had reached the northeast corner of Asia, and he rapidly prepared a second voyage to sail beyond his earlier landing point to Japan.

The Golden Age of Caribbean Piracy 1700-1725
Few pirates have had the effect on commerce and pop culture that Blackbeard has. From 1716 to 1718, Blackbeard ruled the Atlantic in his massive flagship Queen Anne's Revenge, at the time one of the most powerful ships in the world. In battle, he would stick smoking wicks in his long black hair and beard, giving him the look of an angry demon: many sailors believed he really was the devil. He even went out in style, fighting to the death on November 22, 1718.

French and Indian War – A Global Conflict
Let’s Get Ready To Rumble
The French• French society in North America was a single
unit with one governor in complete control.
The English• The English colonies were miniature countries, disunited, jealous of one another, and suspicious of the mother country. They hardly ever agreed on anything.
Indian tribes take sides (most side with France - oops)
France – Ottawa, Algonquin, Huron, Potawatomie, Mississauga, Wyandot, Iroquois (Delaware, Shawnee)
English – Choctaw, Iroquois (Shawnee, Delaware)

Journal Assignment – French and Indian War
How did the French and Indian War affect your character?
How does the loss of New France affect your friends, relatives and neighbors?
How does the fact that the majority of Native Americans sided with the French affect your opinion of Indians? You would end up eventually having many more restrictions and taxes as a result.
