22. During the period of colonization, Europeans, Africans, and Native Americas were all beginning to interact in ways they never had.

24. Explorations of the English and Spanish led to violent conflicts with the Indians. The Indians lost their traditional territories and fell victim to new diseases from Europe.

25. By contrast, the French exploration in Canada did not lead to large scale immigration and the relationships with Indians were cooperative.
