Colonial America Summary

 

In the article “Colonial America” by Marcia Amidon Lusted, the main idea is that things changed a lot in colonial america. In the article, it literally says “European settlers, and enslaved Africans and indentured servants all experienced this time of change differently.” They also took native land, which the natives were not happy about. This caused wars to happen, such as King Philip’s war. After a while though, the europeans figured out that they shouldn’t settle on native land and moved their settlements. The Europeans also started using african and even capturing natives and using them as slaves to do their dirty work. In the end, the colonial settlement changed from “what???!!!” to “That’s just like me,” and became very similar to us. My conclusion is that things can change very, very quickly.
