What will be an ideal response?


There have been three main stages of settlement of North America. The first came from Europe between 1600 and 1750 with a series of colonies along the Atlantic seaboard. The second wave between 1750-1850 resulted in the settlement of agricultural land across the eastern half of the continent. The third wave came between 1850-1910 in the form of immigrants from across much of Europe and resulted in the expansion of settlement to the Pacific Ocean with intensive use of farmland in the Great Plains and the American West.
