There are two more sections of women’s clothing upstairs, ranging from ‘juniors’ to ‘plus-size’. Some of the cash…

At the start of the 17th century England, Spain, and France all had permanent settlements located in North America. Since the continent was vast and plentiful, there was an inevitable struggle for land between the European countries. Regardless of the uniform religion Christianity, the ideals and goals of the three nations greatly varied.
