Discussion question

Can someone help with my discussion post?

Your discussion post for Unit 2 addresses the following question:

How did the different colonization strategies used by England, Spain, and France impact the local economy, labor structure, and relations with Native Americans?

Your discussion post should be written and formatted as follows:

· Your post should contain
four (4) separate paragraphs

· one (1) about the Spanish Southwest

· one (1) for New France

· one each (2) describing
British colonialism in
New England and the
Chesapeake region.

· In each paragraph, be sure to address the following:

· The main objective of the colony (profit, religious conversion of the Natives, territorial defense, religious freedom, etc.)

· Explain who the settlers were (men or women, families, priests, colonial officials, etc.)

· Describe how the local economy worked (products it was based around, who performed the labor, connections to global economy)

· How the previous three elements impacted how colonists interacted with the local Native peoples
