Colonialism

The topic of Colonialism is always very sensitive, especially in a country where we have so much diversity.  For me, this class period grasped my attention as I enjoy listening to different points of views, especially in regards to difficult subjects.  I believe that we cannot judge many countries that took advantage of exploring and colonizing as it is all part of progress.  There is a lot of resentment towards many countries, including the United States, but I do not believe that it is fair to judge as all countries have to think about self-interest.  Back then, laws were different, and colonization led to our progress in the Americas.
