Colonial America is the most significant period in American History to this day and will be for the rest of human life. It embarked the beginning of a new nation. A nation that would employ free will and promote freedom but also practice racism to full extent. The first settlements of this country's beginning symbolized privelege, which is what America stands upon this day in age and has stood upon since its' preformation.   

When these colonies began to form, we saw how the Colonists sought for new lives. The components of independence and diversity lie within the colonial times. These items are a direct example of the freedom, free will, and racism colonists exercised on a daily basis. Colonists brought over everything they had from Great Britain and even traded it with Native Americans and other countries. Trade was a huge source of materials, being that they lacked several resources needed to progress as they had wished.  The Slave Trade was a booming business for the white man. Blacks were not even looked at as human beings, but as property and animals.
