New world

When the Europeans first started exploring America, they all had different motivations. Most of their motivations were the riches and opportunity of the land. They also saw a new life when moving to the Americas. When Christopher Columbus first came over looking for India he ran into the Americas. In doing this he ran into a people group what he called the Indians thinking that he was in India. Today we call them native Americans. But when the Europeans landed in America they spread des eases that the native Americans weren't immune to. Theses deseases made the Indians extremely sick and many died. During this time the Indians helped the Europeans practially live because they had never had to survive off the land. Even though the Indians did all these things for the Europeans, they thought that they were a dirty society because their beliefs were different and their skin color was different than theirs. The Europeans believed that they painted their kids brown once they were born. Once the Europeans got settled they had a settlement called Jamestown. It was called Jamestown because they were kissing up to their king since the Kings name was James. They mainly grew sugarcane and tobacco.
