In the 16th and 17th centuries, more and more Europeans came to America. Some sought freedom, but everbody wanted real estate: the French and Spanish, who fought over Florida; the English who landed in Jamestown, Virginia; the Pilgrims and Puritans who settled New England; the Dutch who thrived in New Amsterdam (New York). These colonists were here to stay--and the Native Americans, who were already living here, did everything they could to survive.
