What did they do to settle?

I can only relay what my parents told me about my great grandparents.\nThey all landed on Ellis Island with the clothes on their backs.  They did not receive any welfare money or food stamps or free medical care.  They did not fly their country of origin flags, nor did they have t shirts that said i love mexico.  They were just glad at the thought of enjoying the American dream.  They learned how to speak English gladly.  They obeyed the laws and took their citizenship test proudly.  Most of them farmed this land and gave birth to the greatest generation ever, my parents.

Religious oppression started some of the settlements. Many existing governments began due to oppression.

Nothing. They're not the first nor will they be the last, unfortunately. One of the guys "Menchaca" is from my home-town. I'm very upset about it but what can the military do? They're following Bush's orders. To think it's all for the oil.

they kept moving south, away from the ice. They were following the food.  So improvments in hunting helped them branch away from the demanding path of the mammoths.  Then, fire and the wheel, basic I know, but they needed to get far enough south to avoid the ice, OR skin the animals for their most valuable fur.

I think we owed it to them to give them a chance to get their act together peacefully when we took the lid off of the pressure cooker.\n\nHowever, I don't think we are supposed to become a new lid on a new pressure cooker.  Imbalances of power were created under the old regime and it may be that those can't be sorted out peacefully.  At some point, it becomes their problem.\n\nHowever, if we had known they would have this much trouble sorting themselves out peacefully, I think many of us would have had a different opinion about going in to begin with.

They looked for a new comercial route to Asia, In fact the first time they reach America. They thought that they have been reach Asia turning the earth to west but what they had been found was a new territory. When they traveled along the old comercial routes from the East, from  Asia, carrying goods.They had to pay taxes on the borders of all countries they crossed. So they thought it would be a good idea travel to west to reach Asia.

Before travel was as easy as it is now, groups settled in a particular place and developed speech patterns based on where they originally came from and perhaps mixed with those of the people who were already there.  Their children imitated them and so on through the generations.

Lincoln asked them to abolish slavery. The Southern Sates did not agree as that would mean losing their entire workforce which worked in their plantations and farms and were the source of their wealth and economy.\n\nFaced with no choice, the Southern States left, what followed was the Civil War.
