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.

There has been forced labor in Peru since the beginning of the Inca conquests. What made this system somewhat unique in the New World is that the system did not call for permanent enslavement of people.

reveal how Christianity has shaped the early American settlements the way they were in early civilization. Early American settlements were started off with a combination of both well-off and less fortunate people. This structure was the main factor that kept the society realistic and stable.

History Settlement of NSW Questions 1. One conclusion about the conditions of early settlement in NSW that can be made from source 1 is that the development of the colony was very disorganised and haphazard. In the painting‚ we can see many buildings in the picture‚ but they do not seem to follow any particular layout or street structure.
