Hi there!
Legislation was passed in 1882 to exclude...
A. Chinese
from becoming citizens.
The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was designed to limit immigration of Chinese citizens to the US and to prevent Chinese people from becoming citizens.<span />
I think you're thinking of privateers. (unless there's another word for it that I don't know about.)
<span>Efficient
economic activity meant the colonists had good relations with the local
Indians and fair weather to deal with; unsuccessful colonies
economically showed their inability to deal with harsh weather
conditions, swampy forests, foreign soil, and that they didn't use the
advantage of gaining knowledge of the new land from the tribes they
chose not to get along with. </span>
