First sentence: By 1750 each colony in the various regions of British North America had gone through comparable stages of development: the invasion and conquest of Native American peoples and their lands; the replacement of indigenous populations by rapidly increasing numbers of European Americans and, in many areas, enslaved African Americans; the attempts by whites to achieve sufficiency in foodstuffs and other material necessities and to develop a viable export trade.
