Which of the following is not a reason colonists came to the New World?
- A.
Better climate
- B.
Forced
- C.
Religion
- D.
To earn a living
Correct Answer
A. Better climateExplanation
Colonists did not come to the New World solely because of a better climate. While a better climate may have been a factor for some individuals, it was not the primary reason for colonization. The main reasons for colonization were economic opportunities, religious freedom, and escape from persecution. Many colonists came to the New World to establish new lives, seek religious freedom, or to pursue economic prosperity through trade and agriculture. Therefore, the absence of a better climate as a reason for colonization makes it the correct answer.Rate this question:

- D.
Chowanoc
Correct Answer
A. TuscaroraExplanation
The Tuscarora native group was defeated by colonists and forced to move to New York. This historical event occurred during the Tuscarora War, which took place from 1711 to 1713. The colonists, supported by other Native American tribes, launched a series of attacks against the Tuscarora people in North Carolina. The Tuscarora were eventually defeated and many of them were captured or killed. Those who survived were forced to leave their ancestral lands and relocate to New York, where they joined the Iroquois Confederacy. This event had a significant impact on the Tuscarora people, as they lost their sovereignty and were forced to adapt to a new way of life in their new homeland.Rate this question:

- C.
Were forced to work
- D.

Correct Answer
C. Were forced to workExplanation
The correct answer is "were forced to work." This answer is supported by the fact that slaves were not given a choice to come to the colonies, and they were required to work for a certain period of time to pay off a debt. Additionally, the statement that slaves "studied under a master to learn a trade" does not imply that they had a choice in the matter, but rather suggests that they were compelled to do so. Therefore, the most accurate explanation is that slaves were forced to work.Rate this question:

This term is commonly used in the context of granting amnesty to individuals who have violated immigration laws or political prisoners. Amnesty is not the same as repeal, which means to revoke or abolish a law or regulation.
