The main overall idea is that, how Africans were slaves, they were treated horribly on their way to trades and were chosen by ages fifteen and eighteen. They were taken against their will and forced into labor.

The Spanish were like an opportunity for the poorer Mexicans, the Spanish changed the Southwest’s economy, environment, and they introduced many animals such as horses, cows, sheep’s, and goats. Spanish architecture styles, tile roofs, the walls, wooden beams still characterize the Southwest.

The overall Topic is why the Dutch came to the Americas. The author teaches us about how the Dutch people came to the Americas mainly to trade. Quote " ...who were primarily interested in developing a profitable fur trade with the Indians."(Document A). the author of the article doesn't necessarily have a point  of view, but we do get an excerpt from a charter of "the Dutch West India Company"(June 3rd, 1621). Quote " Without [protection from the Dutch government], these people cannot be profitably protected from pirates and capture which will happen in so very long a voyage."(Document 2). We can assume the voyage was dangerous because of pirates, and was also possibly pointless if the trade items were stolen. We also learn the Dutch Government didn't send protection fro these trading ships. Overall, we learn the Dutch people came to the Americas in order to trade fur, but the trip was dangerous due to pirates, and the Dutch Government didn't help with these things.

This document is about, the Spaniards being lazy basically. It talks about how, when they found the natives, they immediately started their plans of using them as slaves for labor. But when their plan failed because the natives died by of their diseases, they switched to using African slaves. Hence they started trading them around. They then planned on forcing them into Christianity and putting them in villages.

The Dutches were active traders and they were sent to find more spices which is what lead to the WIC being built. They claimed this North American Coast between 40 and 45 degree latitude, However they were struggling to sustain this colony which may be the reasoning for the lucrative fur trade with the Natives.

What the author is trying to teach us about this topic is that the English intended to  conceive North America as a market for English goods but there were failed settlements. The were mostly focused on gold and Tabaco but there were complications with disease.

1) How the Dutch West India company went and commissioned Henry Hudson to sail to America.
2) The Netherlands needed to trade because it was how they made a living.
3) There is no POV but if there is I’m guessing first person.
**This group came to the America’s because they needed to expand their trade outside their usual routes**

The Spanish decided to come to the Americas in order to Christianize the Native Americans, military control and to claim and conquer the land. The author includes the severe mistreatment the Native Americans faced because of the Spanish settlers such as stating how the Spanish massacred and destroyed the land inhabited by the Natives. The author also states how the Spanish had no orders that forced them to do such acts to the Native Americans from the king which meant the Spanish settlers did this with their own will- Skye

We were reading about the French and how they came to the Americas. The author taught us that the French came close to North Caroline and decided they wanted to cultivate and show Native Americans how to participate in trading fur. The author's point of view was that he thought this was a good thing for the Natives American so they can go along and trade so it can lead them out of the life they were currently in, one he described saying it was miserable. And to build friendships with the enemies instead of hating them.
