In colonial America, Africans "contributed" to society by being a source of income for people who bought and sold them into slavery. They also contributed by being laborers in the southern plantations.
Women contributed to the society by being a house wives --meaning they took care of the house-- as well as cooking meals for the family and taking care of the children.
Native Americans, in the earlier days, contributed by trading with settlers and teaching them how to do things in their environment.
(Sorry I really don't know what the children did)
A. lol my teacher just told me.
Native Americans lived freely in the lands. It belonged to the tribes and not to individuals and anyone could use its wealth as long as it wasn't exploitation or destructive. They practiced their cultural beliefs and didn't think that there should be a reason for them to move out of the land.
The Settlers were capitalists so they wanted the land to use it for agriculture and hunting and things like that and to sell it and buy it individually as personal property. They also believed that the Natives were savages and that their beliefs were blasphemous and that they had no claim to the land at all.<span />
I believe the answer is D, he had the respect of the country and was elected unanimously.
