Columbus might not have discovered America, but his journey
certainly changed the world. Following the arrival of Columbus, the
Spanish sent out fleets of ships across oceans to discover and
conquer new lands. It was not until the 1600’s that European
settlers attempted to actually live in North America. Despite many
efforts, the first settlements ended badly. After the success of the
settlements in Jamestown and Plymouth, Europeans began coming
to America in increasing numbers. The natives, meanwhile, stood
and watched as these strange foreigners sailed in on giant ships.
The natives did not always accept the newcomers with open arms.
Bloody raids on both sides hurt the relations between Native
Americans and Europeans. During this time, the first Africans were
being stolen from their land and shipped to America as slaves.
America has changed drastically with all of the new interactions
between the Europeans, Native Americans, and Africans.
