First permanent English settlement in North America, located near present-day Williamsburg, Virginia . Established on May 14, 1607, the colony gave England its first foothold in the European competition for the New World, which had been dominated by the Spanish since the voyages of Christopher Columbus in the late 15th century.
Many think that when the first people arrived in the Americas that it was all perfect and they at eat much as the could eat, but thats not the truth. When they got here they pillaged, raped and left all of the indians for dead. They also where not immune to all of the grems that where there. In fact so many people had died that they had goten lazy and tried and just put bodys where ever they could find a hole.
In 1776 the continental congress proposed a document providing the grievances towards their mother country Great Britain With the result the American Revolution which set off a reaction if other revolutions. Do you think that we should have stayed with Britain or not?
