Explanation:

• First question: The trans - Atlantic slave trade involved taking people from Africa to America and selling them as slaves. Native Americans were often displaced but not the main group in the large - scale slave trade to America. Irish immigrants came later and were not typically sold as slaves. People from the Pacific Islands were not a major group in this context.
• Second question: The slogan "no taxation without representation" was a major grievance. The colonists were being taxed (e.g., Stamp Act, Townshend Acts) by the British without having a say in the British Parliament. The colonists did fight the British (e.g., in the Revolutionary War). The attack at Philadelphia was a military event during the war, not the cause of independence. Land - related issues were not the main reason for declaring independence compared to taxation.
• Third question: Thomas Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence. James Madison is known as the "Father of the Constitution". Aaron Burr is known for his political rivalry with Alexander Hamilton and other political activities, not for writing the Declaration of Independence.

Answer:

• First question: people from Africa
