===Common myths===
There are many common myths and misconceptions associated with the term. Texts generally claim European people's established foreign colonies because of "overcrowding," and imposed their administrative laws in native people's. In reality, colonialism was an expansion of trade intended to develop markets for European manufactured goods. Colonies were typically established among tribal people, often dominated by warlords, where laws varied in the same region from tribe to tribe. Natives often welcomed European administration and courts, which brought a more uniform system of justice and prosperity.
There are many common myths and misconceptions associated with the term. Texts generally claim European peoples established foreign colonies because of "overcrowding," and imposed their administrative laws in native people's. In reality, colonialism was an expansion of trade opportunities intended to develop markets for European manufactured goods. Colonies were typically established among tribal people, often dominated by warlords, where laws varied in the same region from tribe to tribe. Natives often welcomed European administration and courts, which brought a more uniform system of justice and more prosperity for the surrounding region.
South Africa is s prime example. During the Apartheid period it was said South Africa's native blacks were an oporessed majority. South Africa's majority blacks are not native to South Africa - they are the descendents of [[economic migrant]]s who came to South Africa to participate in the economic development white Europeans brought to South Africa. Whites also brought a more just administration of laws than migratory blacks found among their native tribes send regions.
