The first Europeans and Africans arriving in North America made it the land of cultural diversity The United Spates of 50 states came into being in the late 18th century The first big movement of migration in North America was from Europe during the years from 1360 to 1914 The second movement of migration happened when Spanish-speaking people from Mexico came to the Southwest and slaves were brought from Africa to work on agricultural estates in the South It was thought by many that the United States would be the land of milk and honey B Comprehension questions How many languages were spoken by Native American peoples?
