Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Conneticut, and New Hampshire. At first Native Americans and English settlers lived in peace. Without the Native Americans, many English Settelers would have died in the unfamiliar lands. Native Americans thought them where to hunt and fish, how to grow new crops, and how to recognize plants that they could ean, or not, and the ones that could be used as medicine. As more colonists arrived they settled where Native AMericans had farmed, fished,hunted, and gathered food. the European belief that land could be owned by individuals was arguing with Native Americans beliefs and this created more tension.

Owners controlled slave's life. if the owner wasn't satisfied they were free to hit the slave. Often family members were sold, and marriages and religion were controlled. George Wshington and Thomas Jefferson led protests. The Declaration of Indeependence was signed in 1776 and the American Revolution began. Slaves fought for both sides, but at the end they were still the property of their owners.

The Middle Passage
Some slaves became slaves when they were captured during war, and others because they couldn't pay their dues. most of the slaves came from places that are now Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria, and other came fro places like Senegal, Gambia and Angola. Africans attacked each other and then sold their prisoner to Europeans for guns and other things. After Columbus landed in the New World, many slaves were needed to work on the plantations and mines. The voyage of slaves across the Atlantic to slaves markets of the Americas is refered as The Middle Passage. When sicknesses spread, dead slaves or the ones that didn't obey were thrown overboard. In 1807 the British Parliament passed a bill to end the slave trade. By then The Middle Passage had taken thousands of people lives.
