Explorers learned more about areas such as Africa and the Americas and brought that knowledge back to Europe.
Massive wealth accrued to European colonizers due to trade in goods, spices, and precious metals.
Methods of navigation and mapping improved, switching from traditional portolan charts to the world's first nautical maps.
New food, plants, and animals were exchanged between the colonies and Europe.
Indigenous people were decimated by Europeans, from a combined impact of disease, overwork, and massacres.
The work force needed to support the massive plantations in the New World, led to a 300 year slave trade that had an enormous impact on Africa.
The impact persists to this day, with many of the world's former colonies still considered the "developing" world, while colonizers are the First World countries, holding a majority of the world's wealth and annual income.

Which statement best describes the reaction of American patriots toward British colonial policy following the French and Indian

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

A. They rejected Parliament’s right to manage their internal affairs.

Explanation:

Following the French and Indian War, Great Britain decided to put taxes on the colonists. One of these tax laws was called the Stamp Act, which put taxes on printed items.

The colonists were not happy with these taxes and thought they were unfair, as they had nobody in the British Parliament to vouch for them, also known as "taxation without representation." Great Britain said they were actually taxing them fairly, as they needed to pay the debts for the French and Indian War and were providing the colonists with troops to protect them.

This caused tensions to rise between the colonists and Great Britain. The British colonial policies made the colonists start to want independence from Great Britain, as they felt everything they were doing was unfair. They rejected the British Parliament's right to manage their internal affairs and essentially wanted to be left alone.
