4. 4 The first colonies in North America were along the eastern coast. Settlers from Spain, France, Sweden, Holland, and England claimed land beginning in the 17th century. The struggle for control of this land would continue for more than a hundred years. The first permanent settlement was the English colony at Jamestown, in 1607, now Virginia. The Pilgrims followed in 1620, and set up a colony at Plymouth, now Massachusetts.

5. 5 As more people arrived in the New World, more disputes arose over territory. Many wars were fought in the 1600s and 1700s. Soon, the two countries with the largest presence were England and France. The two nations fought for control of North America in what Americans call the French and Indian War (1754-1763). England won the war and got control of Canada, as well as keeping control of all the English colonies.

6. 6 By this time, the English colonies numbered 13. They were Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.

7. 7 These American colonists believed that they had a right to govern themselves. They believed that they shouldn't have to pay so much in taxes to England. A conflict began to build. The English response was to isolate the colonies from each other, in hopes that the American people would not pull together as a whole.

8. 8 England closed the port of Boston entirely. Boston was one of the largest ports in America. Closing it meant that Americans couldn't get food and other goods from England or anywhere else, unless they paid extra. But the punishment of Boston backfired. The Americans pulled together as never before. They took up arms against their English. The result was the Revolutionary War, which ended in American victory.
