The actions of the people of the First Nations, however, made it clear that they had already traded with Europeans, so it is likely that we will never know which European was first to "discover" Québec.

How are the ethnic groups different from each other?

A minority group is a subordinate group whose members have significantly less control or power over their own lives than the members of a dominant or majority group have over theirs. The number of people in a group does not necessarily determine its status as a social minority. Sociologist define a minority group with the concern of the economic and political power, or powerlessness, of that group. An example of a minority group in America are homosexuals, or Muslims. Neither group is properly represented politically, or economically, and both groups have issues with certain rights such as the right to marry in some states for homosexuals. "Ethnic" which derives from the Greek word "ethnos" pertains to culture. An ethnic group is a cultural group. They are distinguished by language, customs, cuisine, modes of dress and so on. In most countries there is one dominant majority culture, and members of that group are an ethnic group to be sure. However, it is also common to find countries where there are minority ethnic groups, to whom the majority ethnic group often shows great hostility. Also in places like America, ethnic groups can be composed of several different minority groups. In our "melting pot" we have Black Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, and so on that all compose of one big ethnic group.

How does terrorism effect the economy?

It has added a lot of volatility to the market. For instance, every time there is a "crisis" in the Middle East (Iran threatens Israel, etc), the price of oil goes up. This is because a war in that region would result in a disruption in the supply of oil (see the Iraq War), so any hint of a problem causes a jump in prices. Also, the attacks of 9/11 put the American economy into a recession. Whenever there is a lot of uncertainty (and the threat of terrorism does that easily), it creates a lot of risk aversion, which has a lot of negative effects on the economy such as less investment, less spending, and less risk-raking.

Who was the American commander at the battle of Yorktown?

General Lafayette pinned down the British Army at Yorktown, Virginia. George Washington arrived with a larger army. He led all the armies and accepted the Surrender of the British forces.

(Lafayette could have attacked at any time and won a victory. He had a far more powerful army plus he had battleships ready to destroy the British Army from the rear. He knew it would be better for the future of the United States if General Washington handled the surrender so he waited for Washington to arrive with his army.)
