Compare the effects of the Spanish and French frontiers of inclusion with the British frontier of exclusion.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
- Spanish frontier of inclusion: converted Indians into subjects; population growth in New Mexico mostly from intermarriages between colonial men and Indian women; mestizo population living in areas surrounded by larger Pueblo populations; missionaries overlooked Pueblo religious traditions if they observed Catholic rituals; exploited natives as a labor force
- French frontier of inclusion: alliance forged with Huron Indians for control of fur trade in the Great Lakes region; made war on the Iroquois-the Hurons' traditional enemy; agents and fur traders lived among native people and learned their languages and customs; coureurs de bois traded with Indians and often married Indian women, raising mixed-ancestry families; built empire through alliance and commerce with independent Indian nations; Jesuit missionaries learned native languages and tried to learn native customs
- English frontier of exclusion: Indians pushed to periphery as their lands were taken for agriculture and settlement in various colonial regions; wars for conquest of Indian lands throughout the Atlantic seaboard (Powhatan, King Phillip's War, Pequot War, Bacon's Rebellion); little need to include Indians as workers or marriage partners; New England dissenters who disagreed with Indian land policies were banished; Indians fined for violation of English law; livestock destroyed native crops; exception to frontier of exclusion was Pennsylvania, where William Penn dealt fairly with Indians and land holdings
