In the 1580s, the British established two colonies in North Carolina, both of which failed.\n\nThe first permanent English settlers in North Carolina were immigrants from the tidewater area of southeastern Virginia. The first of these "overflow" settlers moved into the Albemarle area of northeast North Carolina around 1650

Link below is the source of this information:\n\nSmith's firm leadership (he was soon elected president of the colony) held the colonists together and narrowly avoided extinction. Wounded by an explosion of gunpowder, Smith sailed to England in late 1609 to recover. He never returned to Virginia.\n\nThe entire article is really very interesting.

Early history of Charleston\nAfter Charles II of England was restored to the English throne, he granted the chartered Carolina territory to eight of his loyal friends, known as the Lords Proprietor, in 1663. It took seven years before the Lords could arrange for settlement, the first being that of Charles Town. The community was established by English settlers in 1670 across the Ashley River from the city's current location. It was soon chosen by Anthony Ashley-Cooper, one of the Lords Proprietor, to become a "great port towne," a destiny which the city fulfilled. By 1680, the settlement had grown, joined by others from England, Barbados, and Virginia, and relocated to its current peninsular location. The capital of the Carolina colony, Charleston was the center for further expansion and the southernmost point of English settlement during the late 1600s.\n\nThe settlement was often subject to attack from sea and from land. Periodic assaults from Spain and France, who still contested England's claims to the region, were combined with resistance from Native Americans as well as pirate raids. Charleston's colonists erected a fortification wall around the small settlement to aid in its defense. The only building to remain from the Walled City is the Powder Magazine, where the city's supply of gun powder was stored.\n\nA 1680 plan for the new settlement, the Grand Modell, laid out "the model of an exact regular town," and the future for the growing community. Land surrounding the intersection of Meeting and Broad Streets was set aside for a Civic Square. Over time it became known as the Four Corners of the Law, referring to the various arms of governmental and religious law presiding over the square and the growing city. St. Michael's Episcopal, Charleston's oldest and most noted church, was built on the southeast corner in 1752. The following year the Capitol of the colony was erected across the square. Because of its prominent position within the city and its elegant architecture, the building signaled to Charleston's citizens and visitors its importance within the British colonies. Provincial court met on the ground floor, the Commons House of Assembly and the Royal Governor's Council Chamber met on the second floor.\n\nWhile the earliest settlers primarily came from England, colonial Charleston was also home to a mixture of ethnic and religious groups. In colonial times, Boston, Massachusetts and Charleston were sister cities, and people of means spent summers in Boston and winters in Charleston. There was a great deal of trade with Bermuda and the Caribbean, and some people came to live in Charleston from these areas. French, Scottish, Irish and Germans migrated to the developing seacoast town, representing numerous Protestant denominations, as well as Catholicism and Judaism. Sephardic Jews migrated to the city in such numbers that Charleston became one of the largest Jewish communities in North America. The Jewish Coming Street Cemetery, first established in 1762, attests to their long-standing presence in the community. The first Anglican church, St. Philip's Episcopal, was built in 1682, although later destroyed by fire and relocated to its current location. Slaves also comprised a major portion of the population, and were active in the city's religious community. Free black Charlestonians and slaves helped establish the Old Bethel United Methodist Church in 1797, and the congregation of the Emanuel A.M.E. Church stems from a religious group organized solely by African Americans, free and slave, in 1791. The first American museum opened to the public on January 12, 1773 in Charleston.\n\nBy the mid-18th century Charleston had become a bustling trade center, and the wealthiest and largest city south of Philadelphia. By 1770 it was the fourth largest port in the colonies, after only Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, with a population of 11,000, slightly more than

The 13 colonies belonged to England (GA, SC, NC, VA, MD, DE, PA, NJ, NY, CT, RI, MA, NH)  France had territorial claims to parts of the Mississippi river valley, Florida and the south west was claimed by Spain. let's not forget Native Americans who were here before England, France or Spain

I will only help if I can be cited in the essay.  \n\nThere was a triangle of trade.  Manufactured goods would be sent to Africa.  From Africa, slaves were sent to the Caribbean or North America.  Then from the Caribbean or North America goods such as Rice, Sugar, Tobacco, Rum, and Cotton were shipped back to England.\nThat is what I learned in history but for a detailed explanation check out the site below:

The first city in America was Jamestown, VIrginia established in about 1620, so the colonists first settled here approximately 386 years ago. However, if your talking about the continent itself or when Indians first came here, I'm not so sure, but Indians did come during the Ice Age.\n\nBTW America didn't gain independence in 1776 thats when the Declaration of Independence was signed, they gained independence after they won the Revolutionary War

Have you ever heard about Roanoke? It was one of the very first european colonies in America. People were dropped off on an island to start a settlement, and then they had completely disappeared when another group arrived 3 years later. It's one of the USA's biggest mysteries!

North Carolina State Seal History \n          \nIn 1971, North Carolina's General Assembly resolved to standardize the design of the state's seal. Prior to this resolution, the seal took on many different design variations. The ship which appears in the background of the present seal, for example, had totally disappeared from some previous seals. Mottos and dates came and went, and the images changed with the artists and office holders. So, the General Assembly passed this resolution in 1971:\n\n"The Governor shall procure of the State a Seal, which shall be called the great seal of the State of North Carolina, and shall be two and one-quarter inches in diameter, and its design shall be a representation of the figures of Liberty and Plenty, looking toward each other, but not more than half-fronting each other and other-wise disposed as follows: Liberty, the first figure, standing, her pole with cap on it in her left hand and a scroll with the word "Constitution" inscribed thereon in her right hand. Plenty, the second figure, sitting down, her right arm half extended toward Liberty, three heads of grain in her right hand, and in her left, the small end of her horn, the mouth of which is resting at her feet, and the contents of the horn rolling out.\n\nThe background on the seal shall contain a depiction of mountains running from left to right to the middle of the seal. A side view of a three-masted ship shall be located on the ocean and to the right of Plenty. The date "May 20, 1775" shall appear within the seal and across the top of the seal and the works "esse quam videri" shall appear at the bottom around the perimeter. No other words, figures or other embellishments shall appear on the seal."\n\nIt shall be the duty of the Governor to file in the office of the Secretary of State an impression of the great seal, certified to under his hand and attested to by the Secretary of State, which impression so certified the Secretary of State shall carefully preserve among the records of this Office.\n\nBut even this standard was not the final word on the subject. In 1983, the state ratified another change that had been proposed by former Senator Jullian R. Allsbrook. Since the state flag carried the date of the adoption of the Halifax Resolves, Allsbrook felt that the State Seal should do likewise to serve as a reminder of the state's commitment to liberty. Thus, the Great Seal of the State of North Carolina was modified to show the date of the Resolves, April 12, 1776. \n \n          \n          \nThe General Assembly of 1893 (chapter 145) adopted the words "Esse Quam Videri" as the State's motto and directed that these words with the date "20 May, 1775," be placed with our Coat of Arms upon the Great Seal of the State.\n\nThe words "Esse Quam Videri" mean "to be rather than to seem." Nearly every State has adopted a motto, generally in Latin. The reason for mottoes being in Latin is that the Latin language is far more condensed and terse than the English. The three words, "Esse Quam Videri," require at least six English words to express the same idea.\n\nCuriosity has been aroused to learn the origin of our State motto. It is found in Cicero's essay on Friendship (Cicero de Amnicitia, Chapter 26).\n\nIt is somewhat unique that until the act of 1893 the sovereign State of North Carolina had no motto since its declaration of independence. It was one of the few states which did not have a motto and the only one of the original thirteen without one. \n \n          \n          \nA seal for important documents was used before the government was ever implemented in North Carolina. During the colonial period North Carolina used successively four different seals. Since independence six seals have been used.\n\nShortly after King Charles II issued the Charter of 1663 to the Lords Proprietors, a seal was adopted to use in conjunction

William Penn  founded the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the British North American colony that became the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The democratic principles that he set forth in the Pennsylvania Frame of Government served as an inspiration for the United States Constitution. Ahead of his time, Penn also published a plan for a United States of Europe, "European Dyet, Parliament or Estates. Before moving to America, Penn owned ironworks in the Kent village of Hawkhurst.

The British colony in Massachusetts started because of money. English "gentlement" flocked to the colony in hopes to make a quick buck with cash crops. Some women also came, but the vast majority were men.\n\nOf course, there were many varied (and potentially life-threatening) factors at work once they arrived, but that exceeds the scope of the question.

They were called 'colonies'. England colonized the eastern US in the early 1500's, the 13 original colonies became states when the United States was formed by the continental congress when the Declaration Of Independence was signed in 1776. More recently, Standard Oil has tried to re-colonize the US and institute a petro-government, but the american people aren't havin' it. Sucks to be Standard Oil(or offshoots or daughter companies. Sorry, guys).

The European people escaped the old country to the land of the great wilderness to become colonists in order to avoid endentured servitude, oppression, and persecution.  As the hand of mighty England reached across the waters into the new land of the colonies, they forced the same tyranny upon the people of the colonies that they had previously faced in the old country of England.  Then, as taxations and other tariffs were forced upon the colonists, the pressure built until it exploded.  With a militia force that was knowledged of the way of the land, they were able to conquer the mighty and arrogant English into submission.

This sounds like a homework question to me. Sorry, I won't help you. I feel you need to read BOTH and you come up with the answer. You need to know these things.\n\nI will tell you this. The North distorted the truth about the Civil War or War between the States.  The war was NOT fought because of slavery. The north had slaves too. They were fighting over textiles, cotton, land, resources it was all economic.
