First Sentence

Racial and ethnic divisions in the United States originated in three distinct historical processes: (1) slavery and the forced migration of Africans in the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries; (2) the expansion of the US through conquest of the indigenous American Indians and the annexation of Spanish-speaking people in the Southwest; and (3) centuries of voluntary immigration from around the globe.
