Colonialism.
Some U.S. territories are uninhabited due to their remote locations, lack of natural resources, or harsh environmental conditions that make habitation difficult. For example, territories like Baker Island and Howland Island are small, arid, and devoid of freshwater sources, which limit their suitability for human settlement. Additionally, historical factors, such as military use or conservation efforts, have led to these areas remaining unpopulated.

The settlers of the colonies are called colonists because they established and populated new territories, often in lands that were previously uninhabited or inhabited by indigenous peoples. The term "colonist" specifically refers to individuals who migrate to these areas to create communities, farms, and trade networks, thereby extending the influence and control of their home country. This process of colonization often involved the establishment of settlements, governance, and economic systems that reflected the culture and interests of the colonizing nation.
