The United States-a so-called "nation of immigrants"-emerged in part from trans-Atlantic migration flows. What type of immigrants were they? Using information from Murrin's textbook, Gray's documents, and lectures, please describe the historical context (aspirations, reasons, and conditions) for the following three characters that might have arrived in the 1640s. Also comment on what the future might hold for them.
-a 16 year-old female enslaved African brought to Virginia
-a 24 year-old English man of wealth who purchased property in Maryland
-a 20 year-old Puritan bride in the Massachusetts Bay Colony
