=<span style="background-color: #000000; color: #e274cd; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Effects of the Expansion on the U.S. =
 * //**<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Economic Change **//
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">In the <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">New England Colonies <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;"> (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Colonists in the North attempted to grow crops, but they found that crops did not grow well in their land due to a rocky and forested environment. Therefore, this led them to find a new way of making living, such as <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">shipbuilding and producing goods such as rum, textiles, and ironworks <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">. These industries become a major part of the Northern economy.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">In the <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Middle and Southern Colonies <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;"> (Middle Colonies: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware), (Southern Colonies: Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">The colonists in the Middle were productive in <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">iron and fabrics <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">. The South had very fertile land and a mild climate that was suitable for agriculture to develop. Later on, the South develops <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">plantations - mass productions of cash crops such as tobacco, rice and indigo <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;"> - and this contributes greatly to their economy.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">**//Population Change//** - The population <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">exponentially increased <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">, as seen in the graph below. The colonists started out with less than 2000 people, and reached a total population of 3 million by the late 1700s.
 * [[image:13coloniesjp.jpg width="474" height="453"]]
 * **//<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Natural Resources / Environmental Change //**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">The colonists, who were originally from Europe, discovered new resources and environments that were different from Europe.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">In Europe
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Bananas, cattle, citrus fruits, grains, grapes, honeybees, horses, peaches, pears, pigs, sugarcanes
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">In the colonies
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Beans, cocoa, corn, peanuts, potatoes, pumpkins, squash, sweet potatoes, tobacco, tomatoes, turkeys, <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">gold
 * **//<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Impact on Slavery //**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">The <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">growth of plantations resulted in a growth of the number of slaves <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">, due to the massive workload required for producing cash crops in huge quantities. Slavery existed both in the north and the south, but since the south was more agriculturally developed and had plantations, most of the slaves existed in the southern region of the colonies. Slaves faced <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">physical abuse and harsh living and working conditions <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">.
 * **//<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Political Impact //**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">The original thirteen colonies were <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">at first under British control <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">. However, the colonists slowly formed their own local government systems and began to criticize the British government due to the poor treatment to the colonies.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">The expansion of the British territory through the 13 colonies eventually leads to the <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">formation of a new country, the United States, in 1789 <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">The colonists overthrow King George of England and "declare" independence in 1776; they "gain" independence in 1783.

=<span style="background-color: #000000; color: #e274cd; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Conclusion: Was the addition of this piece of land positive or negative? = <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">There can be many different views of whether the addition of this piece of land to the U.S. was positive or negative. The addition of this piece of land was definitely **positive to the United States**. The addition of this land later on led to the formation of the United States, so without the European expansion, the United States would have not existed today. Despite the hardships that the Native Americans had to face back then, the successful development of the United States and how it leads the world shows that the expansion was positive. The U.S. is one of the most powerful countries in the world today. To the **British, however, their expansion would have been a mistake**, since they created a country that is more powerful than theirs. To the **Native Americans, since their population has decreased severely and since they had been forced off their land, the expansion was definitely negative**. However, in the long run, the <span style="background-color: #ffff00; color: #000000; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">expansion was a success overall <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">because it led to a formation of a country in which people are guaranteed certain rights and freedom, and the development of the United States helped the entire world develop as well, since many countries adopted these principles and applied it to their own country for further development.
