Question 1 • (Bergold)WCA 2130 US History 1 1st nine weeks 26-27

Which of the following was not one of the ways in which American Indians were affected by the arrival of the Spanish?

Answer
A
American Indians were captured as slaves.
B
American Indians prospered from a rich trade with the Spanish.
C
American Indian populations were devastated by European illness.

Explanation

The Spanish arrival brought enslavement and European diseases, which caused severe population loss among American Indians. Although trade took place, American Indians generally did not prosper from a rich, mutually beneficial trade with the Spanish. Therefore, “American Indians prospered from a rich trade with the Spanish” was not one of the typical effects.
