A. It had a lot to do with it from both sides. Africans were selling there own people who's villages were captured. This helped Africans because at the time the West cost of Africa wasnt able to get a lot of things imported in so selling the people allowed them to pay a lot more for people to deliever to there region. It helped America cause this place has always been built on cheap labor. Political wise it was a lot larger in Africa. IT allowed some people to take power while others lost everything. In North America getting slaves didnt hit polotics until the slaves had been here for a while and some decided that they felt slaves were human also.

A. Your answer is A. At least according to Wikipedia: "After its failed attempt at a colony in the 1540s, for a time France limited its colonial interests in what would become Canada to fishing in the Grand Banks off the coast of Newfoundland. By the beginning of the 17th century, however, the French had become very interested in the fur trade, and this led them to push inland to better trade with American Indian tribes. French interest in the area began with the founding of Tadoussac in 1599. In 1603, Samuel de Champlain made his first trip to North America on a fur trading expedition. ... In 1608, he created a fur trading post that would grow into the city of Quebec, a settlement that later became the capital of French North America."

A. Viking discovery of North America was definitively proven by Helge Ingstad in 1960, when he discovered Viking settlement in L'Anse aux Meadows (Newfoundland). There is no doubt that the settlement is genuine.
