One is <span>"He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people." This one refers to the King's coercive acts where he dissolved Massachusetts legislature because of what happened during the Boston tea party. basically the King didn't care about the legislative houses and did as he wished when they didn't agree with him.

Another is </span><span>"He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws of Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encouraged their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands." He is talking here about the king's anti immigration policies to anyone who was not a British Subject. There were many immigrants from countries like Spain or France who wanted to enter the colonies and become citizens but they were denied this right and the colonists wanted them in their country.

Another is </span><span>"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance." This refers to king's decisions to create numerous new positions of power like tax collectors or officers of the law who went to the colonies and they had to be taken care of by the colonists since they were royal officials. They had to get food and shelter and things like that from the colonists for nothing in return.

Another is "</span><span>He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures." This is mentioned because the King had his soldiers stationed in the colonies in people's houses and people didn't have a choice in whether or not they would provide housing for them. They were angry because they had to pay taxes for soldiers that did nothing since there was no war.

The final fifth grievance example can be </span><span>"For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:" This is because of the Boston massacre when soldiers killed colonists and had mock trials and weren't punished at all because the British parliament and the king perceived what happened as the fault of the colonists and didn't even care about them.</span>

In two paragraphs, describe the effects of Spanish exploration and the mission system on the southeast. In your answer, consider
Dafna1 [17]

The Spanish were not the first Europeans to reach North America. About 1,000 years ago, five centuries before Columbus sailed to the Caribbean in 1492, the Vikings built simple fishing camps in Newfoundland and Labrador.1

European colonization of the North American continent began soon after Columbus's discoveries. The Spanish started permanent colonies in the Caribbean, and Santo Domingo (founded 1496) remains the oldest continuously-occupied colonial settlement in the New World.

The Spanish were not alone in trying to explore and settle the New World. There was competition from other European states, but initially they avoided the Caribbean because of the Spanish presence there.

During the 1500's, English and French explorers looking for fishing grounds determined the outlines of the North American coast north of New England. The sailors constructed temporary camps on Newfoundland when fishing off the coast. Those camps remained as isolated, single-purpose communities, occupied only during the time when cod were being caught and dried for transport back to Europe.

In 1541-3, the French tried to establish a permanent settlement on the St. Lawrence River. That failed, but the French returned in 1603 to start again at St. Croix Island and Nova Scotia. In the six decades between those efforts, the French sought twice to build colonies on the southeastern coast of North America.

The settlement at Charlesfort (1562) collapsed before the Spanish had an opportunity to attack it. The Spanish destroyed the later French colony at Fort Caroline (1565), and then Spanish soldiers executed Jean Ribault and nearly all of of his shipwrecked colonists in a massacre on a Florida beach.

After that experience, France avoided conflict with Spain by settling much further north of St. Augustine. By choosing St. Croix and then Quebec, the French left an unoccupied zone on the eastern edge of the continent.

The English, Dutch, and Swedes focused their North American colonization efforts in that gap between the French and Spanish, but only after the military power of Spain was diminished by the failure of its sleet (the Spanish Armada) to conquer England in 1588.
