More About colony

Long ago, many lands were taken by other lands. This was done to get more food and gold. The people who lived there had to follow new rules. Some liked it, but many did not.

Today, we can still see some old colonies. They may have new names but still have some old ways. The people there may mix their old ways with new ones.
