Explanation:

This is one of the ways in which pirates and smugglers reflected a growing sense of autonomy among British colonists in the 17th century. During the 17th century, the American colonies were still considered part of the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, there was a growing sense of independence among them that would eventually lead to the Revolutionary War. One of the ways in which this independence was reflected was by the independent culture that pirates and smugglers developed.

native american contribution: the patriots from britain learn how to hunt, fish, and introduce diversity within cultures.

african americans: indirectly introduced the idea of diversity to americans. africans coming to america because of slavery taught white americans that people come from different backgrounds and colors. it also built america's economic stability for a great period of time. 

women: make america what it is today. there are some societies that are in the world currently that do not give women the same right we give women here in the united states. because women have rights here in the united states, other countries' citizens strive to come to america, especially women, since they have equal rights in the united states. this is important because america is seen and desired by many in the world. 

children: children are our future. we learn from our elders and carry out things the same or differently learning from america's history. we continue tradition and change tradition if it is needed.
