ranging from the early era of European colonization and the formation of the new national polity that would become the United States to its evolvement through technological and political upheavals into a decisively modern republic and military force and ascent onto the world stage through the calamities of the 20th century as the largely unrivaled hegemon that it is today 91 1 93 Contents 1 Colonial and early national period 2 19th century 3 20th century 4 21st century 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Colonial and early national period Edit See also Colonial history of the United States and Slavery in the United States The lines of conflict demarcating the wars rebellions and revolutions in the North American colonial and national period can be traced far back into early pre Columbian times However due to the scarcity of written sources not least resulting from the Spanish colonizers destroying a sizable amount of original Maya writings deeming them to be heretical historians typically make the early European settlements as their initial point of departure of which sources are more plentiful 91 2 93 A further concern highlighted by historians relating to the history of slavery and colonialism in particular is the inherent unevenness of the terrain in which conflicts erupt and often tremendous disproportionality of means by which they are fought and settled As historian Ira Berlin points out slavery by its very definition poses a profound asymmetry of power For three centuries slave masters mobilized enormous resources that stretched across continents and oceans and employed them with great ferocity in an effort to subdue their human property Slaves for their part had little to depend upon but themselves 91 3 93 As such four distinctive lines of conflict can be identified weaving through the colonial and early national period Firstly the conflicts between the European colonists and the Native American tribes Secondly the rival conflicts between the European states over control of the Americas Thirdly the mounting tensions and armed conflicts between the settlers and their rulers in Europe And lastly as violence between the white people grew so too did the revolutionary fervor of the African slaves in their quest for freedom through armed insurrection 91 4 93 Conflict Combatant 1 Combatant 2 Results and assessment of
