Answer:

3 camps. 1) the ones who think they are better than others. They tend to treat citizens in their colonies as slaves or inferiors, and they think they OWN them.

2) the ones who are indifferent

3) the ones who think those colonies should be returned to their people. Most colonies still suffering from poor quality of life, or resources owned by EU settlers. it is partly due to colonization, hence its an unfair part of history.

take HK for example, i was listening to a professor the other day, the EU/UK settlers were grapping high end jobs and abusing locals back in the days, and they were in charge of law, so no one can touch them. And that EU settlers is better than locals mentality continue even till now, so EU settlers are living in mansions while locals are living in "shoebox"

Answer: The colonies became their new home

Step-by-step explanation:

Most colonists viewed the colonies as their new home. That was especially the case during the period of early colonization. Due to the impossibility of religious integration into English society, many Puritans viewed the New World as their own home. A large number of colonists had problems in their home country with both secular and spiritual authorities. The New World became a place where they could organize political and secular leadership as they wished.
