During the 15th century colonialization period of Europe, North America, England, France, Holland, Spain, Sweden, and Portugal all competed and fought for control of world resources as well as to develop products to bring to European markets. African kings and chiefs captured enemies for sale as slaves.Those Native American residents, when involved in disputes and captured, were forced into slavery and displaced. Europeans agreed by indenture that the passage to America be repaid, as well as the purchase of land be developed, by labor.After New Jersey passed in 1665 from Holland to England, imports of Africans, indentured laborers, and Indian prisoners were blended into the slave market. Queen Anne had an interest, and her friends had debts repaid by land grants to them as proprietors.Intellectual or a political disagreement, the belief that all men are created equal, along with a search for religious freedom, persisted for over a century; individuals fled persecution, created family groups, built farms, roads, and canals to markets, then built a system of railed roads and bridges to cross rivers to escape pursuers by an underground railroad beyond the River Jordan.
