Answer:

The rapid increase in the colonial population in the 1600s/17th century was due to indentured servants, religious freedom found in the colonies, and the slave trade.

Explanation:

The rapid increase in the colonial population in the 1600s/17th century was due to indentured servants, religious freedom found in the colonies, and the slave trade. A lot of people in Europe (especially Britain), were seeking a better life whether it was to come over to escape paying their taxes/debt to the crown or to start a new life and they became an indentured servant. Back then, it was almost impossible to move to an upper class so many young people in their early 20s (mostly men, but some young women) took the voyage over to the New World to have a better life where after around seven years of working, they got freedom and some land that they could start a life for themselves. Some people, such as the Puritans, Pilgrims, and others were wanting to come to America to escape the religious persecution that was going on over in Britain where the Church of England (Anglian) was being practiced and it was separated from the Catholic church but it still had many Catholic practices and the puritans wanted to “purify” the church so they moved over to live out their new religion. A lot of Africans were also brought over from the slave trade to grow the new crops such as tobacco and work in the plantations in the South.

Wich statement summarizes the effects of the works progress administration​
Nana76 [90]

The WPA created jobs for the unemployed.

The Works Progress Administration was established in 1935, under the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration.  

The WPA did employ artists and musicians and actors and such, but the WPA was only for American citizens, as the country worked to fight its way out of the Great Depression.

People weren't paid to remain unemployed. Rather, the government created projects for which they hired persons to do work.

WPA projects included some building of roads, bridges and other public projects, but the national interstate highway system was something done later in US history, under the Eisenhower administration.
