505 _a"The many topics covered by Professor Eakin as he moves through the turbulent times of the conquest also include: - The growth of the transatlantic slave trade as the conquerors began running out of the labor they needed to exploit the new territories. - The spread of the plantation system as it became the lifeblood of the Portuguese colonial economy. - The building of Spain's "golden age" on the backs of the indigenous peoples whose grueling labor mined the rich silver deposits of Mexico and South America. - The "quest for souls" as Christian religious orders fanned out across the Americas. - How the native peoples of the Americas resisted complete assimilation by creating new and colorful religions from the simmering pot of Christianity and long-held native beliefs. In the final lectures, Professor Eakin looks at the foundations of the different societies in the Americas and looks forward, for better or for worse, to what future may emerge from this common past.
