They wanted religious freedom. This may affect the Indians because they probably practiced their own religion when we came over to change our religion we probably changed theirs.

The reason the Europeans Started colonizing the Americans is because they wanted them to be in areas with how wealthy they were. So they colonized them as Rich, poor, and in-between. This would effect the African Americans because they were slaves and they were not rich at all and were treated different then all other Americans.

The British settlers wanted to settle here for religious freedom, better farm land, and for a better life for families. This might affect the Native Americans because it was there land first, and the Europeans were taking there farming and hunting land.

these may affect the native american because there may be more war so it would make the english and make them go in duty to the for the war

Unknown said...

They began to do this because there were so many that had came to the Europeans land. This will affect the Native Americans because the people are coming to their land and taking over. The Native Americans will not have room in their village because of that.

They began to colonize the Americas because they needed more land.This affected the Native Americans because if the Europeans and English found land that they wanted and the Native Americans were on it they could kick the Native Americans out.

Suzie Humphrey said...

the reason they began colonizing was because they wanted more land for themselves ,and this reason might affect the native Americans because the English and Europeans were taking there land and then they wouldn't have land for themselves and would be forced to work and soon become working slaves and that's big to how they were from before the Americans came and took over but if this never happened we would not even be here and we would not of accomplished what we have today :)

The English wanted to colonize in the americas because they wanted to live by there own laws and separate from Britain to get away from the taxes that Britain was putting on them. The main reason europeans wanted to colonize in the Americas was for religious freedom.

When the English started to colonize America the native Americans didn't have a good relationship with them. They fought each other in the french in the French and Indian war.The British after the war they won new land but didn't let colonies expand to that new land.

The reason the Europeans,begin colonizing the americans is because they had more people. The people wanted to go and be in the colons. They also had more be people to do things with like hunting and gathering. The people wanted more and better space to farmThe natives got affected by this because,they would be moved because the colons needed more space.

The Europeans began settling the colonies to make money for their country and to claim land. With the Europeans settling this land, the native Americans were forced off their land.

I think that the English began to colonize the America's because they needed food for their children and to start a system of trading and working. This would probaly interfere with the native Americans because we are on there land and they were there first.

Europeans especially England began colonizing in the Americas because they wanted religious freedom and they wanted more land. Owning more land might effect the Native Americans because the Europeans will kick them off the land so they can own it and the Native Americans can not.

Tehya Quinones said...

The reasons why they went to the Americas is because they had good crops and soil and a lot of land. They affected the native americans because the English tried to take over and take all their land.

The Europeans colonizing the Americans because the Americans had crops and other land stuff. These reasons effect the Native Americans because they took the Native Americans land away from them and they took everything else from them.

They colonized for money and growth. It would affect the native Americans because it would take there land.

There was new land and gold over here so thats why they came onerous to america. This could have effected the native Americans because They were here by themselves and no one was bothering them.

The reason why the English coninized in America because of religion reasons and also for money and for growth (expansion). This will effect the Indians because they will be driven off their land that their ancestors lived and used for their needs (food,shelter,etc.)

Europeans started colonizing because they wanted to expand.This effected the native Americans because the Europeans were taking their land away.

Unknown said...

The Europeans wanted to settle the Americas because of all the money to be made. Also the Europeans wanted places to put people so they can control the land and its riches. This could severly affect the Native Americans because people don't ever want to give up their land or riches.

Raelynn Hopkins said...

The europeans and the english started colonizing in the Americas because, they need a place too stay. This started too affect the Native America because, they had little land for them self and so they had didn't have a lot for them self.

This would effect the Native Americans because the have never seen a white or colored man before. And changed their way of bien by introducing them to horses and many things that they have never seen before. Also with man's natural greed wanted more and more land and they killed for it.with man's advantage of guns and iron weapons white men took little loses unlike the Native Americans.
