United States History

In the early history of the United States, diverse groups, including the British, French, Spanish, and many others, sought to settle in the New World. Driven by religious freedom, economic opportunities, and political escape from intolerance, these groups laid the foundation for what would become the United States. However, this relationship was complicated by mercantilism, with the mother countries seeking to exploit the natural resources of their colonies. As tensions rose between the colonists and their nations, the stage was set for significant upheaval, leading towards the American Revolution.
