COLONIZATION What are Colonists? People who leave their countries and live in a colony are called colonists. A colony is a settlement governed by another country. Why Colonize? Europeans established colonies in the New World in the 1500's and 1600's for many different reasons: • The Spanish were searching for wealth for their country and converts to their religion. • The French were trying to get rich by fur trading. • The English were searching for religious freedom. © Copyright NewPath Learning.

People from other nations were looking for: • a fresh start in life • better land for farming Some of the earliest settlements in the New World were: • St. Augustine, the oldest city in America. • Jamestown whose settlers were looking for gold. • Plymouth, whose settlers were seeking religious freedom. • New Netherland, established by the Dutch, in what is now New York State. Democracy in the New World began in these early settlements: • The colonists in Jamestown participated in their own government through the House of Burgesses. • The agreement for self-government signed by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower was called the Mayflower Compact. • New England landowners participated in their own government in town meetings. © Copyright NewPath Learning.
