The English colonists arrived in Chesapeake Bay where the Powhatan Indians had been calling home for quite some time. There were over thirty Indian tribes totaling 14,000 Indians.

Before even being constructed, colonies had already been set for failure as many colonists

Whichever region they had chosen to live in had a different impact on them compared to the other regions, but still changed them for the better, most at least. A portion of colonists were afraid of traveling to the New World because of the possible dangers of natives.

The English and French both developed colonies in the Americas with the purpose of expanding and growing their territory. The beginning of the England’s colonization in America started with James I and Charles I’s religious forces pushing for a civil war. The English were happy to ship Puritans and Catholics across the sea. So those who were unhappy at home, had the opportunity to go live in a new place that accepted their religious beliefs (Jones, 36). While the beginning of France’s colonization

I did not believe that the word “I” was a good start for my first week’s assignment.

The Europeans “Puritans, Spaniards, French” had an altogether different perspective on living life than the Indians got along. Furthermore, the way the Indians were treated by the European settlers was wrong and inhumane

Why did so many Colonist die in Early Jamestown? In 1607 settlers from England settled on the James River and established a colony named Jamestown.
