Answer: As soon as Europeans began to settle in America, in the early 16th century, they imported enslaved Africans to work for them. As European settlement grew, so did the demand for enslaved people. Over the next 300 years more than 11 million enslaved people were transported across the Atlantic from Africa to America and the West Indies, and Britain led this trade from the mid-17th century onwards. Ports such as Bristol, Liverpool and Glasgow sent out many slaving ships each year, bringing great prosperity to their owners. Many other cities also grew rich on the profits of industries which depended on slave-produced materials such as cotton, sugar and tobacco.

Answer: Formed armed militias.

Explanation:

In response to growing hostilities between the British and the American colonists, the British army took over Boston and in 1775 attempted to take over military stores and arrest some people in Massachusetts.

New England (the region Massachusetts is part of) colonists then formed armed militias in response and chased the British all the way back to the Charlestown area of Boston and began the siege of Boston which was effectively the beginning of the American Revolution.
