From the sixteenth century onwards the Europeans began to migrate to North America.
The major aim of the migration was to exploit the resources.
By the eighteenth century, England had established thirteen colonies in the eastern coast of North America
Christopher Columbus, a sailor of the Spanish Government, reached North America in 1492. He called the indigenous people as 'Indians'
He thought that the place he reached was India. Later, they were known as the 'Red Indians'
The earlier colonies in America were established by a group of people, who exiled to America from the religious persecution of the King of England in the seventeenth century on a ship called 'Mayflower', They were known as the 'Pilgrim Fathers'
Policy implemented by the British merchants with the help of their motherland in the American colonies, is known as Mercantilism
