The new woman was the term used at the end of the nineteenth century to describe women who were pushing against the limits which society imposed on women.
Towns were most likely to be found in the New England colonies because that was where the Puritans first settled.
The Puritans first settled around Cape Cod and continued to expand from there. While they originally were going to settle in Virginia and even had a charter for it, the strong winds and storms while aboard the Mayflower caused them to lose which direction they were going, making them inevitably land on Cape Cod.
Not only this, but the New England colonies were favored because of the climate. The climate in the New England colonies was not as hot as the Southern colonies, but the soil was not as fertile. New England also had very good harbors, was very inclusive, and many people did not hold prejudice towards other types of people.
<u>Answer: It began with Portuguese merchants buying slaves from the king of Benin.</u>

Explanation: African slaves prior to 1441 were predominately Berbers and Arabs from the North African Barbary coast, known as ‘Moors” to the Iberian. They were typically enslaved during wars and conquests between Christian and Islamic kingdoms. The first expeditions of Sub-Saharan Africa were sent out by Prince Infante D. Henrique, known commonly today as Henry the Navigator, with the intent to probe how far the kingdoms of the Moors and their power reached. The expeditions sent by Henry came back with African slaves as a way to compensate for the expenses of their voyages. The enslavement of Africans was seen as a military campaign because the people that the Portuguese encountered were identified as Moorish and thus associated with Islam. The royal chronicler Gomes Eanes de Zurara was never decided on the “Moorishness” of the slaves brought back from Africa, due to a seeming lack of contact with Islam. Slavery in Portugal and the number of slaves expanded after the Portuguese began exploration of Sub-Saharan Africa.
Extra explanation: Explanation above is official recognized but there are a lot of evidence that slave trade started even 2nd century BC by the Roman Portugal and it proceded to: Visigothic and Suebi kingdoms, Islamic Iberia, and Reconquista. But she certainly didn't start with Portuguese merchants buying slaves from the king of Benin.
