    During this time period, the British established the Thirteen Colonies, which was known as British America.

    The Mayflower landed at the Plymouth settlement in America. These Pilgrims made the dangerous trip because they were looking for a place where they could practice religious freedom. The Mayflower Compact was formed.

    After many attempts to settle in America, the Jamestown settlement was established. This was the first successful British settlement. Indians attacked previous settlements and/or the conditions were too harsh for people to survive. There were over eighteen recorded attempts of the British people trying to settle here. In some cases, no one knows what happened to the people who came and formed settlements.
