Native Americans Coming:
The oldest human remains found are from Africa and they evolved to other countries for food and life sources. Depending on where people lived many different people had served different roles in life. We took away the land of Native Americans because we wanted what was “on” the land. We wiped them out because of disease, Columbus and his people, or through waging war. We forced them to farm land that they owned. Christopher Columbus made several trips back and forth and in 1492. Columbus probably assumed the world was round instead of agreeing with others and thought it was flat. He also killed many people and moved them around from land to other land. He wasn’t the discoverer of america but he opened it up. Mageleon was the first person to find gold. He also ended up being the first person to circle the world. He ended up dying but his crew made it.
Spain, England, France, and Portugal traveled trying to get to China for riches and trade. Wanted to go the less costly route. Columbus and others did many bad things to women and children such as rape.Cortez is famous for the aztecs. Ice was a big problem during traveling. People left Europe to come here for religious freedom, they got sent over as criminals, they also came over for land and different factors. Spain settled in south west US, Florida, Central America. Portugal settled in Brazil. France settled in Canada and central US. The 13 colonies were the first states founded in the United States. British started to put taxes on everything. “No taxation without representation”.. The Boston Tea Party was when people dressed up as Indians and dumped all the tea into the Boston harbor. Christopher Gaston was a soldier in the war, The rattlesnake was the symbol of the United states instead of the bald eagle.. The US wanted to send some rattlesnakes over to Great Britain because they wanted to get rid of something they didn’t want. Telling the world that Great Britain is taking our happiness, three fourths of the paper is telling what King George is doing to us, the last paragraph is stating our freedom.
