This chapter explains three sections of European production and expansion through labor, migration, and settlement. I think the reason Europeans wanted to succeed in the Atlantic because they chose to recruit indentured men and women to join other free Europeans to travel to America to expand colonies, production, create settlements, and seek opportunities for social and commercial increase. Although many indentured men and women spread diseases through Europe to decrease their travel to America, however, many Europeans continued their journey to America and gained through migration through larger and richer territories along with large amounts of merchant goods to use for production in America. As a result of European migrant workers, this created five categories of settlements around the Atlantic World including urban areas, trading posts, missionary villages, plantations, and family-centered productive units. (Chapter 5, Page 168). In my opinion, the Europeans creation of the Dutch East India Company in Southern Africa in 1652, where they developed a plantation to produce sugar, cotton, and coffee. (Chapter 5, Page 170). By the 1630s, the English established another settlement called “The Transatlantic Family Enterprise” located in New England, where they produced plantations, family production areas, and religion. One of the best examples of migration was a group of women called “Holy Women.” European women ventured to the Americas to convert to Christianity, the Ursulines and the Augstines travelled to New France in Canada by 1639. The reason these women came to America was to create hospitals to cure any diseases that occurred in recent events and convert education to indigenous women and children. (Chapter 5, Page 180). By the first two centuries, the Europeans became a stronger force because of their expansion through America, migrating indentured people for production, and settlements that established the Europeans colonies through expansion in America.
This reminds me of what Enrique Angulo explained in the last reading “A Search of Sovereignty” relating to African diseases from that decreased the amount of European Travelers just as European diseases effected travelling to the New World, however, the other European Travelers continued to travel to the New World and America.
