    The document summarizes the European colonization of North America beginning in the 16th century. It discusses the initial Spanish settlements in Florida, New Mexico, Texas and California which aimed to establish labor forces and convert natives to Christianity. The French established trading outposts but not permanent settlements, while the English primarily sought land ownership. It then focuses on English colonization, including the establishment of the Chesapeake colonies like Virginia and Maryland as well as the New England colonies such as Plymouth and Massachusetts between 1607-1650. Indentured servitude was common, with two-thirds of early English settlers being indentured for 5-7 years. Colonists believed land ownership represented liberty, bringing them into conflict with native populations
