New World Impact

America was founded for gain and reward; the impact was both positive and negative for the societies involved. Many Europeans were living in poverty and were unable to make money, so the New World was attractive for them. It was attractive because it was a huge landmass that was available to them at barely any cost.

Many Europeans were negatively impacted because they did not know how to live in the New World, but once they got the hang of that they thrived. The Africans were also negatively influenced because in order for the Europeans to have economic success, they needed slaves to work for them. America was attractive to all the people that moved there because of its promise for good economy, but not all societies got the positive impacts that they hoped for.

In this case this small community was negatively impacted. When the remaining men finally had an opportunity to leave they set sail only to get turned right around to return and start a war with the indigenous community that had tried to help them
