Colonial America

Introduction
This passage is about Life in Colonial America, with Areas of Conflict, Areas of Cooperation and Personal Reflections.


Areas of Conflict
The one shot that killed the Americans leader made the Americans join up to fight for freedom. Native Americans (N.A.) fought for their land and food supply with the Europeans.

Areas of Cooperation
One area of cooperation is when the Europeans first came to the "New Land", the Native Americans treated them very nicely and did not have huge wars, like what happened later in the years.

Personal Reflections
The Native Americans first liked the Europeans because they gave them "amazing things" (junk; shards of glass and hats ). But the Native Americans were grateful and gave them expensive things like parrots and new things like spears that the Europeans did not have.

The American Revolution

The situation in which I now stand for the last time, in the midst of the representatives of the people of the United States, naturally recalls the period when the administration of the present form of government commenced, and I can not omit the occasion to congratulate you and my country on the success of the experiment, nor to repeat my fervent supplications to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe and Sovereign Arbiter of Nations that His providential care may still be extended to the United States, that the virtue and happiness of the people may be preserved, and that the Government which they have instituted for the protection of their liberties may be perpetual."
..Washington's final annual message to congress - december 7, 1796
