My only problem really is the Native American thing. Of course there were black native Americans and I recognize black people have been here before slavery. But the “real native Americans” shyt gotta stop. Like there are non black native Americans whom roots are from Asia. People ain’t gotta act like we the only ones of something just because we were part of it. Aloe of us have Native American ancestors. So it shouldn’t be that complicated to not offend other native Americans. Yea many black native Americans, but we not the only ones who bear that title

Early British settlements in what would become the United States began in the early 17th century, leading to the establishment of 13 colonies by the 1700s.
Early Settlement Attempts and Jamestown
1585: Sir Walter Raleigh establishes the Roanoke Colony on Roanoke Island, off the coast of present-day North Carolina. The colony mysteriously disappears, earning it the nickname "The Lost Colony."
1607: The
Virginia Company of London founds
Jamestown, Virginia. This is the first permanent English settlement in North America. The colony struggles with disease, famine, and conflict with Native Americans.
1619: The first enslaved Africans arrive in Jamestown, and the first representative assembly in the colonies, the
House of Burgesses, is established in Virginia. This year marks a turning point for both the economy and governance of the colonies.
The Growth of the Colonies
1620: The
Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower found the
Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts. They create the
Mayflower Compact, an agreement for self-government.
1629: The
Massachusetts Bay Colony is founded by Puritans, who seek religious freedom. This colony quickly grows and becomes a center of Puritan culture and politics.
1632: Maryland is founded as a haven for English Catholics.
1636: Rhode Island and
Connecticut are founded by colonists seeking religious and political freedom from the strict Puritan rule of Massachusetts.
1664: The English seize the Dutch colony of New Netherland and rename it
New York. This is a significant moment as it unites the northern and southern English colonies geographically.
1681: Pennsylvania is founded by William Penn as a haven for Quakers and a place of religious tolerance. Its capital, Philadelphia, becomes a major port city.
Formation of the 13 Colonies
By the early 1700s, the remaining colonies were established, completing the group of 13.
- Delaware (1638)
- North Carolina (1663)
- South Carolina (1663)
- New Jersey (1664)
- New Hampshire (1679)
- Georgia (1732)
These 13 colonies would later unite to declare independence from Great Britain in 1776, marking the birth of the United States of America.
