In chapter four I learned more about the peopling/colonizing
of the Americas, and what people settled where. There was a lot of battle about
who got what land and many countries failed in surviving here because they were
not prepared for the conditions here. Either with the natives or with bringing
the correct supplies or enough food to survive for a long duration of time.
This chapter focuses more on where these countries ended up settling. Slavery
was a huge part of life from early on, many came to the Americas in slavery and
were forced to work in cruel, fatal conditions.
These events led to the enlightenment. Although the
enlightenment predominantly occurred in france it still had a large affect on
the rest of the world
