How would you describe the early European and Aboriginal settlement patterns in North America?
Before most aboriginal people saw Europeans, the imported diseases were already wiping out native settlements. In the end over 9/10ths of aboriginal people met early deaths from new diseases.
The earliest European settlements were tenuous and sporadic. But those epidemics of pox and flu made conquests easy. Europeans came for religious and economic reasons, and brought in slaves.
While the aboriginal populations plummeted, the European population grew steadily, generation after generation, as their descendants pushed west.
