Answer 1

The European groups that established settlements in the New World generally had the following in common:

1. Believed they were superior to Native Americans - Many European settlers felt that their culture, religion, and societal structures were superior to those of the Native Americans.
2. All claimed lands once occupied by Native Americans - European settlers claimed territories that were inhabited by Native American tribes, often disregarding the rights and presence of the indigenous people.
3. Altered the land for their benefit - Europeans altered the landscape for agriculture, settlements, and resource extraction, which had a significant impact on the environment and the lives of Native Americans.

The statement "they had great respect for the Native Americans" does not generally apply and would not be considered a common trait among European settlers.
