    Early in the Americans, the Red, White, and Black came together and colluded. The Red, being the Indians, were enslaved, making them a part of this collusion. “Including the domestic labor that native wives could provide; in some cases intermarriage was a form of labor recruitment.”(22). The Blacks, or Africans, were brought to America solely as slaves for the Europeans. The Whites, are the ones who had enslaved both the Indians and the Africans. “As early as 1502, Europeans settlers began to import slaves from Africa” (23). Also they were the most important factor, because without them, there would have been no collusion. The Europeans were the ones that started colonizing the New World and bringing in slaves to help do so.…

    Although varying somewhat in origins and character, all these colonies exhibited plantation agriculture, indentured and slave labor, a tendency toward strong economic and social hierarchies, and a pattern of widely scattered, institutionally weak settlements. Theme: The English hoped to follow Spain's example of finding great wealth in the New World, and that influenced the financing and founding of the early southern colonies. The focus on making the southern colonies profitable shaped colonial decisions, including choice of crops and the use of indentured and slave labor. This same focus also helped create economic and cultural ties between the early southern colonies and English settlements in the West Indies. Theme: The early southern colonies encounters with Indians and African slaves established the patterns of race relations that would shape the North American experience; in particular, warfare and reservations for the Indians and lifelong slave codes for African…

    The narrative concerning the exploration of the North American continent was a little bit of Eu-ropean ethnocentrism, as well as a reflection of historical reality. According to the book, “First Peoples”, just about everyone from monks to visitors from outer space “discovered” America much earlier than Columbus. For example: archaeological evidence points to the Vikings being in Greenland, Newfoundland and Labrador back in 1000 AD. However, due to relations with the Native population that were mired in violence the colonies that were created by the Vikings were short lived. By the end of the 15th century, Europe became the dominant force regarding globe expansion that reached into Africa, America, Asia and Australia.…
