    Early settlement patterns For the most part economic opportunity for growth was the common motive for all the settlers in the new world. The French‚ Spanish‚ English and Dutch all came for the same reasons‚ they just all handled it in different ways. Some handled it decently and others handled it horribly‚ at least looking at it from a Native Americans perspective that is. They all tried to make the ’new world’ environment seem like old ones‚ which clearly it wasn’t and in my opinion none of which

What made this system somewhat unique in the New World is that the system did not call for permanent enslavement of people. Often people would work a certain amount of time a year and then go back home. When the Spanish conquered the Inca Empire instead of completely changing the way things were‚ they simply adopted and modified the Mit’a system. After the conquest of the Inca’s the Spanish also instituted a system
