During the 1600s, North American colonies had a number of common characteristics. For one thing, they had all been sponsored by, and primarily consisted of members of, European nations. For another thing, they shared quite a few goals, such as gaining access to new resources, developing new commercial or trade routes, establishing an overseas 'presence' in the New World, and furthering national or religious influence (and sometimes both) of a European kind.
