Step-by-step explanation:

FIRST REASON for this discrimination was the economic competition between the Loyalists and the settlers. The Loyalists were often skilled and educated individuals who brought with them valuable resources and knowledge. This made them a threat to the local settlers, who felt that their own economic prospects were threatened by the Loyalists' arrival. As a result, the settlers sought to limit the Loyalists' access to land, resources, and opportunities, which further perpetuated the cycle of poverty and discrimination.

SECOND REASON for this discrimination was cultural differences between the Loyalists and the settlers. The Loyalists were often of British origin and brought with them a different set of customs and values. This made them stand out in The Bahamas, and many settlers viewed them with suspicion and hostility. The Loyalists were also often associated with the British government, which was seen as an oppressor by many of the settlers who had fought for their own independence.
