How did the invention of the printing press change the world?
ReplyDeleteBack then, books were only available to the nobility and churches because of how expensive and time consuming it was to hand write a whole book like the bible. With the invention of the printing press, books became a lot cheaper and was available to everyone - even the lower class citizens. Also the printing press helped people be able to read and learn about the bible without relying on the teachings of the priests. -Amy Nguyen 9-16-11
The printing press changed the world because before the printing press it took a very long time to get a book like more than a year. Because some one like a priest would have to copy down the whole book by hand. The person that wanted the book had to pay a lot of money to the priest or person writing it down because it took a very long time to write it. So when the printing press was invented books were a lot cheaper and they could make them a whole lot quicker. -Court Nielsen 9/18/11
ReplyDeleteBefore the printing press, books had to be copied over by hand. It could take over a year to produce a single copy of a book. People who copied the books over often made mistakes. It was 1440 when Johannes Gutenber made the printing press. The most books it made was the bible. It was much cheaper to make a book after the invention. Much less time consuming too.

The Northwest Passage is a major water route through North America to let sailors go from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. The Europeans wanted to find the Northwest Passage because they needed a shorter route to get to Asia and trade with them. Devan Cawley
ReplyDeleteHow did the invention of the printing press change the world?
ReplyDeleteIn the mid-1400s, a man named Johannes Gutensbeg changes the world forever. He invented movable type, or in other words the printing press. Only prists and royals were able to read. They were also the only ones that could aford to buy a book. But that day everything changed. Any one could aford a book. It was much fast and easier to get a book, it cost a lot cheaper too. Most people were able to have a book and could read it. I don't know if I would be able to read today if it wasn't for Johannes Gutenberg.

The northwest passage was a water route that went through North America that allowed ships to sail from Atlantic to the Pacific. Cobot didn't find the passage to the Pacific Ocean, altought his voyages were successful! They later became the basis of England's claim to land in North America.

ReplyDeleteThe printing press helped spread the ideas of the Reformation. The printing press helped the Protestants print large numbers of Bibles for all the people. This let the people that did not know how to read or write learn for them selves. They would learn the things of the Bible on their own, rather than letting their priests tell them what the Bible said. The printing press lead to book making which also lead to the first mass production of books in history. -Harley Hurd

Question 1: The Printing Press:
The Printing Press allowed the protestant religion to print large numbers of bibles as well as short essays to let people think of the bible on their own. The Catholics did not like this which lead to The Civil War in the late 1500’s, The French Catholics eventually migrated to the Americas in search of religious freedom. It also leads to political issues.
Question 2: The Spanish and the Native Americans:
The Spanish treated the Native Americans very poorly. They forced them to work as slaves and in terrible working conditions. They faced cruelty and desperate situations on a daily basis. (Why) It was said by spain, in exchange for Native Americans working for them they would have protection by the Spanish settlers.
Question 3: North West Passage:
A nonexistent path through North America that early explorers searched for that would allow them to sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. It would allow the English a strait passage through North America, instead of having to sail around South America, Saving months of sailing for Europeans.
The invention of the printing press allowed the protestants to print bibles. This allowed everyone, the rich, the middle class, and the poor to be able to read. People could then, read the bible without relying on the priest to tell them what they should be doing. -Hayden Taylor 9/19/11
ReplyDeleteThe Northwest Passage is a water route through North America that allowed ships to sail from the Atlantic ocean, to the Pacific ocean. Europe spent time looking for it because if you wanted to go to the Pacific that way, you had to go all the way around the tip of South America, and that took more time, money, and effort. Plus they wanted to find a trade route to Asia that was easier than the way they had. -Justin Brown 9-19-11
ReplyDeleteThe Nortwest Passage is a water route through North America that would allow ships to sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
ReplyDeleteEurope spent time looking for the passage because the king of England wanted them to and they needed a quicker and easier route. However, none of explorers ever found the Northwest passage.

ReplyDelete3- What is the Northwest Passage? Why did Europe spend time looking for it?
The Northwest Passage is a path in the water that allows ships to sail from the atlantic to the pacific ocean. A sailor named John Cabot knew about how england wanted to find it, but he was italian. He didnt find a way to the pacific ocean. There were many others like him, like him, like Cartier, Verrazono, and Hudson. But none of them found a way. :(
The reason the Europeans needed a way to the pacific is because of common reasons, like exploring undiscovered land over there, trading, sailing ships, and any other reason of why they would need ships to sail over there. When they sailed over to try and find a passage, as I should say, over to the pacific, they didnt know much about the land over there, and so they kept running into canada, when really they should be going south first.
The printing press changed every thing because now everyone can read. Back then books were for the rich and not the poor because books were expensive. You had to pay a monk to hand write a book for you and that gets pricey. With this printing press, regular people are able to read for the first time. They are now able to read the bible because it is now affordable. Priests now hate this because people are now seeing that what he was saying to be true about the bible was a bunch of bologna and now he is losing money. The printing press changed the world by giving everyone the power of literacy

The Printing press changed the world immensly because before the press, a priest would have to copy the book down, because they were the only ones who knew how to write. Since that took so much time and effort, it would cost much more, so only kings had books.
ReplyDeleteQ: How did the invention of the printing press change the world?
ReplyDeleteA: Because of the printing press, people were able to read the bible more often and faster, because they were being printed. But they were very expensive. It was also a big help with spreading the ideas of Protestant Reformation, which began in small German towns but quickly spread through out Europe.

Question #2: The Native Americans were treated like slaves by the Spanish. They did this because they believed that since they had claimed the land, they were their property. Native Americans were required to work on farms in groups of thousands. They were also required to do the incredibly hard work of mining gold and silver.
ReplyDelete~Mackenzie Clark
The Spanish settlers were to protect the Native Americans and convert them to Christianity under the encomienda system. This system gave the Spanish settlers the right to tax the Native Americans and make them work, in exchange for their safety. The Spanish thought this was a fair. Even though the Natives Americans were to be protected, it was the Spanish that teated them unfairly. The Spanish treated the Natives like slaves. They were forced to work in some of the worst conditions, they faced daily abuse, and many lost their lives due to the treatment of the Spanish.
ReplyDelete1. The printing press made a big difference in the world because books became more affordable, people began to read, and more people could own a bible for themselves. It was only upper class citizens that was able to have the access to books because of prices. Also, lower class people would not have to rely on priests to teach them about the bible.
ReplyDelete2. The Spanish treated the Native Americans cruely and roughly. They would treat them exactly like slaves. The Spanish made them work in mines and fields. Even though Bartoleme de Las Cases did tell them to treat the Native Americans gently and kindly, some colonists did not.
3.The Northwest Passage was a new route for the English from the Atlantic to the Pacific. They needed to find it because it would save much time rather than where they usually go. Even though all the explorers voyages to find the route was unsuccessful, they did explore other unknown areas.

The Northwest Passage is a water route that would have allowed ships to sail from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific Ocean, through North America.
ReplyDeleteThe reason Europe spent time looking for the Northwest Passage is because it would give them a faster route. Also, the king of England wanted such a way to get from one ocean to the other. Many explorers searched for the Northwest Passage, but none of them were successful.
-Morgan Noble
The printing press made a huge impact on the world. It taught many people how to read because only rich people and priests had bibles and new how to read. People learned that the priests were lying to people, up untill others lerned to read. The printing press printed many copies of the bible and several essays of people's ideas! Now days you can print anything for a cheap price!

The Northwest Passage is a waterway to get from the Atlatic to the Pacific Ocean through North America. Back then the way people traveled was by ship. Europeans needed a faster route to Asia, so they could trade and make a living. Cabot, Verrazano, Cartier, and Hudson were among those who searched for the passage. None were successful, but these explorations made other Europeans more interested in North America.

The invention of the printing press made it so ordinary people could learn to read. By learning to read they where able to gain knowledge of the world and some people where even able to get diffrent jobs. This triggered what is called the ressinaunce period. Other people where also able to interpret the bible and new religions where formed.

The Northwest Passage is a waterway that would let Europeans sail from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific ocean. The Europeans wanted to find it so they could get to Asia. Many countries sent explorers to find it but nobody could. Even though they didn't find it, many explorers claimed land for their countries.

1:How did the Spanish treat the natives? Why?
ReplyDeleteThey gathered them up different people from different lands and crammed them all together on a boat filled with bugs, sicknesses, chained up against their will, taking them back to the land of the Spanish people. The Spanish forced the slaves to do many things such as: doing different jobs, selling them to different people, do anything that their owners wanted them to do.How did the Spanish treat them? They treated them horribly. When they recieved punishments they usually would get whipped or beaten, and even more worse cruel punishments were used.And if they tried to run away were tortured or even killed.
Why did the Spanish treat them like this? The Spanish obviously overpowered them by a lot. They were rich, and powerful, when they wanted something they really tried as best to get that what they wanted. They just came up and put them in chains, and they just basically thought they could boss them around, they could do all their work for them, sell them for money, beat them when they disobeyed, and they just thought they couldn't do anything about it. which was true, when you think about it. The native's opinion didn't matter at all to the Spanish. They didn't care if you had killed a slave while punishing them. But the twist to this is that if you killed a AFRICAN servant while punishing them you would be charged.Slavery was a immense change in history, and was a terrible thing that had to happen to slaves
What is the Northwest Passage? Why did Europe spend time looking for it?

The Northwest Passage is a water spot that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean through North America. The reason why Europe spent so much time looking for it was beacause they wanted to find a quicker and faster way to sail to Asia. While all the many explorers never found the Passage, many of the explorers found land that they claimed for there country.

How the invention of the printing press change the world
ReplyDeleteBefore the invention only rich people could afford books because to get a book you had to have a monk copy it for you. It consumed a lot of time and money. When you had no books it was very hard to learn to read and write, in till the invention. After that the world became smarter place.
I also think that it changed religion, because when only preachers had Bibles they could say whatever they want to, like, "You robbed a bank you must pay me a forth of what you stole and your sin shall be forgiven." When people could afford bibles they noticed that you don't have to pay to be forgiven, they started multiple new religions that actually followed the bible.
How did the printing press change the world?
ReplyDeleteBefore the printing press was out the people who wanted to know about the bible had to go to religious leaders who knew how to read and could afford a book. They were told what they needed to do from them. Some of the things they told them weren't true. Once the printing press came out the people could afford and read the bible for themselves. When they found out the truth they became more independent conscious.

(Question 2)
ReplyDeleteThe Spanish people didn't treat the Native Americans well, even though Bartalome de Las Casas(A Spanish Preist)told them to show kindness towards the Native Americans. Many were forced to work in plantations for the Spanish people, and others had to do very hard work in mining treasures. The hardwork made some of them die. It also says that they made an agreement that they would protect them, and convert them. But the Spanish didn't follow the laws very carefully.
Michelle Stanley
The Spaniards treated the Native Americans like dogs because they were different, didn't believe in the Christian religion. They looked different, talked different and the Spaniards thought that they were better than them. They made the Native Americans work their hard work, for example, in mines for the metals and substances that the Spaniards needed.

the printing press changed the world because it made it possible for ordinary people to read and write books. normally, people would hardily ever read and if they did read, they almost always read the bible. now, people can gather information by them selfs without actual people having to tell them stuff.

What is the Northwest Passage? Why did Europe spend time looking for it?
The Northwest Passage is a nonexistent path through North America that early explorers looked for that would allow ships to sail from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. English sailor John Cabot knew the king would like to find such a route. Though he never did find a route his journeys were successful because they became England’s claim of North America. Many Europeans wanted to find the passage also, but none of them ever found it.
Question 3:
ReplyDeleteThe North West passage was a route that explorers tried to find that went through North America. The path was never found because it doesn't exist. What the explorers were looking for was a passage that went through the North American mainland so that they could get through to India. At the time India had all of the most wanted and highly expensive luxuries. Which every one sought after. That is why the North West passage was searched for.

The printing press had a great effect on history, before people had to depend on monks and priests to write it for them and that would take months, but most of the time only thr rich people could afford it. So when the printing press came out, it made it possible for all classes to own a copy of the bible.
ReplyDeleteBailey Means
The printing press made it so everyone could have books. The books were must more affordable because they didn't have to be copied down by hand. More people learned to read besides just the royals. People also could get their own copy of the bible so the monks couldn't take advantage over them. They finally knew what was true and could read it for their selves.

The printing press changed the world because it made publishing books much easier. Because of this people could go get a bible for cheap, even the peasants. This made it so everyone could read and write and come up with and share new ideas.It also made people interpete the bible themselves which caused divisions in the church.-By Tyler
