The rival colonial projects that shaped the United States' political fault lines

The British Empire wasn't the only colonial power in what is now the United States. Several competing colonization projects led by the Spanish, Dutch, French and others laid the foundations of American history. Their distinct patterns of settlement help explain many of the political divides that continue to shape the US today, according to historian Colin Woodward. He tells The World's Host Marco Werman that over the centuries, these rival visions also influenced how American democracy evolved.
