How long has America been colonized?

European countries go to the United States to develop their wealth and expand their influence on world affairs. Spain was the first European to explore the new continent and the first person to settle in the present America.

However, before 1650, England had occupied the Atlantic coast. 1607, the first batch of new immigrants were found in Jamestown, Virginia.

Many people settled in the New World to escape religious persecution. Pioneers who came to Plymouth, Massachusetts arrived on 1620.

With the help of Native Americans, the colonial activities in Virginia and Massachusetts flourished.

Planting corn and other grains in the New World saved the colonists from hunger. At the same time, the tobacco grown in Virginia is an economically valuable crop.

The introduction of African slaves in the early 17th century increased the proportion of immigrants. By 1770, there were more than 2 million immigrants living and working in Britain in 13 states in North America.
