Unit 3 Lessons

Brief Summary of Unit: This unit, "Becoming a New Nation: Colonization", will focus on the conflicts and cooperation that existed between and among Europeans and Native Americans during the early days of exploration and colonization. The cultural differences and competition for land led to conflicts among different groups of people in the Americas. Students will see how two groups of people, with different goals, perspectives and values, come into contact with each other and can either cooperate or have continued conflict.
