Colonization of the Americas was the first step towards a great nation. North America colonization was sought out by English exploration. Developing the successful colonies of North and South came with many hardships. Before the initial permanent colony, settlers faced horrifying agony trying to establish colonies. Developing a flourishing colony was not easy. Settlers faced tragedies such as starvation, bitter weather, and diseases. When colonization in America took off, the Northern and Southern
1.How did contact between the European arrivals and the native peoples of the Americas affect both groups? Contact between the European and the native people affected both in many ways. The European came to America and brought many diseases. This affected the native people because they had no immunity. As a result millions of people died, this caused society to weaken. The Europeans affected the natives in a positive way by introducing them to crops (such as sugar and bananas), domestic livestock
Spanish VS English Colonization The two primary countries colonizing the New World before 1763 were Spain and England. The two powers had different reasons and goals for settling in the Americas, as well as varying regions. The Spaniards were originally searching for a new and direct sea route to Asian nations for easier and more accessible trade.

In this case, analysis of the primary source “Columbus's Description of the Discovery of America (1492)” denotes clearly that Christopher Columbus was an iconic figure in the discovery of the nation. Columbus was an explorer, and along with his crew, they discovered America. On the other hand, Magna Carta is a historical document which has reshaped the modern
New World The colonization of North America has a far vaster history than what is often taught to students as they learn about the beginnings of the United States of America. The American educational system has somewhat dumbed down the discovering of North America, especially the USA, by crediting Christopher Columbus as our great founder. Thankfully, self-educating oneself has taught me about the various other individuals who, alongside their men, graced the shores of the Americas and interacted
There were major factors that played a role in English colonization. These factors ranged from economical to religious ideas. The importance of religion showed drastically by showing how it brought people, with similar religions, together. This in return caused colonies to form along the east coast of what now would be the United State. It also gave incentives to people who lived in England to immigrate to America for more religious freedom and in a way to also have a fresh start. The middle part
Spanish, Dutchmen, and Irishmen made significant contributions to the development of America. I believe the Englishmen and Africans made the most contributions to the growth of our country. My opinion is both groups did it out of survival. The Englishmen did it to escape economic and political problems. Poor water quality, religious persecution, and overcrowding were factors in driving some Englishmen toward America. Englishmen came here with an ideal of how a society should be set up and ran. All
New England and Chesapeake were both the starting points of British colonization of North America, and one would think that the two areas would be very much alike. However around the turn of the century, it became very clear that the unique social/governmental, religious, and geographic/economic features of the Chesapeake and New England colonies have shaped the two British colonies into two distinct societies. The scattered settlers of the hot swampy Chesapeake Bay area settled for a much more agricultural
its colonization in America so called the “English colonization”. They started out by settling three main colonies; Virginia, settled by the second sons of wealthy men seeking for gold was located in the south, Pennsylvania settled by the Quakers a religious minority that valued religious freedom in the middle colony and Massachusetts established by the Puritans; the religious minority of England, was in the north.
