Answer 1

The statements that are true are:

The French sought territory in the Americas to control the fur trade.

African slaves were brought to the Americas as early as the 1600s.

By the end of the 16th century, England and France gained more economic wealth because of their investment in mercantilism.

European colonization of North America had a profound effect on the native peoples, African slaves, and the Europeans themselves.

The Europeans sought to gain control of land and resources, and African slaves were brought to the Americas to provide labor for the European settlers.

The Europeans also invested in mercantilism, which helped to increase their economic wealth.

As a result, the native peoples of North America were exposed to new diseases which decimated their population, and they were pushed off their ancestral land.
