Answer 1

1) The economies of all British colonies in North America depended on slavery.The main reason behind slavery here was, the labor intensive cultivation of tobacco for North american markets,which was performed by these slaves

2) The European colonisation in America caused countless changes in the environment,that affected the people as well as animals. The European idea about owning land as private property clashed with the natives understanding of land use.They established fields and fences for demarcating private property.perhaps , European colonization's single greatest impact on indigenous Americans was the introduction of diseases.microbes to which native inhabitants had no immunity led to death everywhere Europeans settled

3)The American revolution was caused due to colonial opposition to British attempts to impose greater control over the colonies and to make them repay the crown for its defence of them during the French and Indian war.
