History

Slavery started because people liked having other people work for free, so they enslaved others. They were brought by ships from Africa. They would usually work on farms and ranches. The jobs were different because of the climate. One type of climate made it possible to grow cotton, another to grow tobacco, another for crops, and so on. They were important because they were free. Since wealthy land owners didn't have to pay workers, they got extremely rich because they had almost no losses at all.

Slaves were important to the colonial economy because the more slaves you had the more money you gained from either selling them or off of their hard work and laboring.

How has American expansion been different from European Expansion?
Elenna [48]

Answer: America did not pursue a colonial policy, unlike European countries.

Explanation:

And while Britain, Spain, France, Portugal, Belgium, and other imperialist powers colonized almost the entire world, America did not have these pretensions. The United States has expanded its territorial integrity but has not sent overseas expeditions to other continents to exploit those countries' natural and mineral resources.

What major events led to the establishment of the navy and the department of the navy?
Vinvika [58]
The Continental Navy was created by George Washington in 1775 to protect the American colonies from attacks by the British. At the end of the Revolutionary War, the Continental Navy was disbanded. However, American merchant ships were under continuous attacks by North African pirates so the Department of the Navy was created by Congress in April 1798. Also, after the American Revolution, the British refused to leave American territory along the Great Lakes and continued to attack American merchant ships. This led to the War of 1812.
