Answer:

a. the number of europeans in eastern north america increased while the native population decreased.

b. european countries lost money because colonies were expensive to maintain.

d. native americans’ land was taken and many native americans were forced onto reservations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The natives came out of the isolation in which they lived, which brought them new customs and the consequent mischaracterization of their culture and loss of nature as they knew it.

- Slavery: Indians were used as labor at the beginning, however, were not as effective in sugar production and were replaced by black Africans.

Enslavement brought several consequences:

- massacre of thousands of Indians

- occupation of their land

- disruption of the productive system and indigenous institutions.

- mortality due to diseases brought from Europe

- Environment pollution

With all this (loss of space and independence), the natives became increasingly dependent on the "white man" which soon dictated not only the demographic and social disruption of the natives, but also their races.
