The Spanish conquistadors were explorers from Spain that came to the Americas and basically took over many parts of it. Hernando Cortez brought a sickness to the Aztecs, which killed them all. Francisco Pizarro conquered the Inca empire. They are both examples of Spanish conquistadors.

African slaves were imported to work in America because Africans were immune to some European diseases and experienced at European farming techniques.
B. Africans were immune to some European diseases and experienced at European farming techniques.
<u>Explanation:</u>
During 16th century, Spanish started to import many Africans as slaves to work in the European farm. Americans were prone to European diseases and they also demanded large pay for the work. Thus, the government decided to import slaves from Africa.
Africans were immune to European diseases and they had better experience in European farming techniques. The pay demanded by the African slaves was also less compared to indigenous laborers. So Africans were imported as slaves to work in Americans farm.
There were several factors that moved America towards independence from Britain. They are as followed:
1) The development of an American culture- Even though the colonists were still part of Great Britain during the 18th century, many of these individuals were natives of the colonies and had never even been to Great Britain before. This is a huge transformation from when settlers came here originally to find freedom from religious persecution during the early 16th and17th centuries.
2) Colonists being forced to into wars they did not want to fight in- The British army was constantly fighting with other European powers like France in North America. This resulted in colonists being part of wars they did not want to be in (like the French and Indian War).
