The Pre-Columbian Era is the time before Christopher Columbus went to the Americas in 1492. Around
then, Native Americans lived on the land that is currently the United States. They had different societies:
Native Americans in the Eastern United States chased amusement and deer; Native Americans in the
Northwest angled; Native Americans in the Southwest developed corn and assembled houses called
pueblos; and Native Americans in the Great Plains chased buffalo.[1][2] Around the year 1000,
numerous individuals imagine that the Vikings visited Newfoundland. Be that as it may, they didn't settle
there.[3]

Pioneer America

The English attempted to settle at Roanoke Island in 1585.[4] The settlement did not last, and nobody
comprehends the end result for the general population. In 1607, the primary enduring English
settlement was made at Jamestown, Virginia, by John Smith, John Rolfe and other Englishmen intrigued
by gold and adventure.[5] In its initial years, numerous individuals in Virginia kicked the bucket of
infection and starvation. The state in Virginia kept going on the grounds that it made cash by planting
tobacco.[6]

In 1621, a gathering of Englishmen called the Pilgrims settled at Plymouth, Massachusetts.[7] A greater
province was worked at Massachusetts Bay by the Puritans in 1630.[8] The Pilgrims and the Puritans
were keen on making a superior society, not searching for gold. They considered this perfect society a
"city on a hill".[9] A man named Roger Williams left Massachusetts subsequent to contradicting the
Puritans, and began the state of Rhode Island in 1636.[10]
Incredible Britain was not by any means the only nation to settle what might turn into the United States.
During the 1500s, Spain fabricated a post at Saint Augustine, Florida.[11] France settled Louisiana, and
the zone around the Great Lakes. The Dutch settled New York, which they called New Netherland.
Different territories were settled by Scotch-Irish, Germans, and Swedes.[12][13] However, in time
Britain controlled the majority of the provinces, and most American pilgrims embraced the British
lifestyle. The development of the states was bad for Native Americans.[14] Many of them passed on of
smallpox, an illness conveyed to America by the Europeans. The ones who lived lost their territories to
the colonists.[14]

The Thirteen Colonies (red) before the American Revolution

In the mid 1700s, there was a religious development in the states called the Great Awakening.[15]
Preachers, for example, Jonathan Edwards lectured sermons.[15] One of them was classified
"Miscreants in the Hands of an Angry God". The Great Awakening may have prompted the reasoning
utilized in the American Revolution.[16]

By 1733, there were thirteen provinces. New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, and Charleston were the
biggest urban communities and primary ports at that time.[17]

From 1754 to 1763, England and France battled a war over their territory in America called the Seven
Years' War or the French and Indian War, which the British won.[18] After the war, the Royal
Proclamation of 1763 said that the pioneers couldn't live west of the Appalachian Mountains. Numerous
settlers who needed to move to the boondocks disliked the Proclamation.[19]
