Colonial history of the United States
The term colonial history of the United States refers to the history from the start of European settlement to the time of independence from Europe, and especially to the history of the thirteen colonies of Britain which declared themselves independent in 1776.[1] Starting in the late 16th century, England, Scotland, France, Sweden, Spain and the Netherlands began to colonize eastern North America.[2][3] Many early attempts—notably the English Lost Colony of Roanoke—ended in failure, but several successful colonies were established. European settlers came from a variety of social and religious groups. No aristocrats settled permanently, but many adventurers, soldiers, farmers, and tradesmen arrived. The Dutch of New Netherland, the Swedes and Finns of New Sweden, the English Quakers of Pennsylvania, the English Puritans of New England, the English settlers of Jamestown, and the "worthy poor" of Georgia, among others—each group came to the new continent and built colonies with their distinctive social, religious, political and economic styles.[4]
Historians typically recognize four distinct regions in the lands that later became the Eastern United States. From north to south, they are: New England, the Middle Colonies, the Chesapeake Bay Colonies (Upper South) and the Lower South. Some historians add a fifth region, the frontier, which was never separately organized. Other colonies that contributed land to the future United States include New France, Quebec (Louisiana), New Spain[5], and Russian Alaska.

  • @LcoolJfiveoh Many were our allies, they proved good allies. The early america probably wouldnt have been as successful without their help. We learned many military tactics through their help, especially when we fought Britain. 

  • @LadySeraph immigrants or conquerors?

  • @Bethlc81 Vikings first, Columbus/Spain 2nd, then Portugal, Then England, France and Netherlands etc....Russia to landed in Alaska. Hate how we ignore the fact that the vikings first came here 500 years before columbus. Columbus used the Norse Sagas to figure out a way to what he thought was 'India', The Norse called North America Vinland. But saw no use in this place because they couldnt raid any cities.

  • @plushcartoon Hes just another envious Spaniard who claims we are the evil Anglo-Americans and we are the reason fro Mexico's desert 'Texas' and New Mexico. They are angry that they have less dry land I suppose. My question to the mexican is why does he give a shit if he loses worthless land that holds little to no resources? I find it hard to believe texas or new mexico ever held any value to Mexico or the Spanish Empire.

  • @euqsabtnatillim Your a moron. England was Protestant. The Puritans were English Separatists that were expelled from England for supporting Oliver Cromwell's Republican Rebellion. They supported the execution of King Charles, and later after Cromwell died the Kings son was restored to the throne. As a result all the supporters aka Pilgrims were forced into exile. Henceforth they came to ''New England'' to create a Monarchy free 'England'.
