Slaves were imported into the United States beginning in 1619. This was the year that privateer The White Lion brought 20 African slaves into Jamestown, Virginia. These were African slaves who had been taken from a Portuguese slave ship. With this event, a long cycle of forced servitude began in the colonies. One that would last over two hundred years. Slaves were in demand throughout this period due to the fact that they represented a cheaper and more plentiful source of labor than that of Europeans.

Answer:

England North America

Spain Latin America

France  Eastern North America

Explanation:

England was looking for the settlement of colonies to get resources for its economy. Jamestown became the first permanent English settlement in America. The main reason for establishing colonies in America was for economic investment. England entered the competition as other European Empires began to establish colonies in America to increase wealth and power.  

Spain established colonies in Latin America, and its goal was to acquire gold and silver for the Spanish economy. Spain also converted Native Americans to Christianity to save their soul from heathen. Spain conquered ancient civilizations including Maya, Aztec, and Inca and established colonies with Spanish soldiers, conquistadors and Spaniards.

France founded colonies in eastern North America, and on several Caribbean islands. Most colonies developed to export products such as fish, rice, sugar, and furs. France colonized Canada because of the Beaver(furs) they found there. The French traded for fur pelts from the Indians and transported in Europe because of the profit it got where people were willing to pay the price for it.

How was the 1st amendment ratified?
MAXImum [283]
During the summer of 1787, a group of politicians, including James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, gathered in Philadelphia to draft a new U.S. Constitution. The Bill of Rights, which was introduced to Congress in 1789 and adopted on December 15, 1791, includes the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
The Eleventh Amendment was passed to overturn the Supreme Court ruling in the 1793 case of Chisholm v. Georgia. The intention of the amendment was never a secret: It was passed to stop a federal lawsuit from being brought against a state without its consent.
The significance of the Twelfth Amendment is because it allows smaller states to have equal influence in the Electoral College.
The House of Representatives passed the proposed amendment with a vote of 119-56, just over the required two-thirds majority. The following day, Lincoln approved a joint resolution of Congress submitting it to the state legislatures for ratification.
The amendment prohibited former Confederate states from repaying war debts and compensating former slave owners for the emancipation of their enslaved people. Congress required former Confederate states to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment as a condition of regaining federal representation.
the 15th amendment granted African American men the right to vote. Social and economic segregation were added to black America's loss of political power. In 1896 the Supreme Court decision Plessy v.
The Sixteenth Amendment was ratified by the requisite number of states on February 3, 1913, and effectively overruled the Supreme Court's ruling in Pollock. Prior to the early 20th century, most federal revenue came from tariffs rather than taxes, although Congress had often imposed excise taxes on various goods.
On April 8, 1913, three-quarters of the states had ratified the proposed amendment, and it was officially included as the 17th Amendment.
the 18th Amendment, also known as the Prohibition Amendment, was passed by Congress and sent to the states for ratification. Nine months after Prohibition's ratification, Congress passed the Volstead Act, or National Prohibition Act, over President Woodrow Wilson's veto.
June 4, 1919, the U.S. Senate passed the 19th Amendment by two votes over its two-thirds required majority, 56-25. The amendment was then sent to the states for ratification. Within six days of the ratification cycle, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin each ratified the amendment.
The 72nd Congress proposed the Twentieth Amendment on March 2, 1932, and the amendment was ratified by the following states. The Amendment was adopted on January 23, 1933 after 36 states, being three-fourths of the then-existing 48 states, ratified the Amendment.
The Congress adopted the Blaine Act and proposed the Twenty-first Amendment on February 20, 1933. The proposed amendment was adopted on December 5, 1933. It is the only amendment to have been ratified by state ratifying conventions, specially selected for the purpose.

Extra : All 27 Amendments have been ratified after two-thirds of the House and Senate approve of the proposal and send it to the states for a vote. The other method of passing an amendment requires a Constitutional Convention to be called by two-thirds of the legislatures of the States.
