About ten years after the Pilgrims arrived in America, in 1620, the Plymouth Colony began to establish itself more firmly. In 1630, the Massachusetts Bay Colony was founded by a larger group of Puritans, leading to an influx of settlers and the establishment of additional towns. This period marked the beginning of significant growth and expansion of colonization in New England, along with increasing tensions with Indigenous peoples. The Pilgrims' initial struggles gradually transitioned into more stable and organized colonial governance.

The Pilgrims were looking for a place where they could worship as they pleased without being persecuted by other religious groups or government. The success of the Virginia colony provided a solution for the Pilgrims. The Plymouth Company, which was not having success like the Virginia Company, in attracting settlers to the New World, hit upon a scheme that would be successful to both Pilgrims and Company. The King was persuaded to let the Plymouth Company send the Pilgrims to America to provide a profitable colony to both the company and the Crown, and, in turn, the King would agree not to persecute the Pilgrims in their colony. When they arrived at Massachusetts Bay, they found a deserted Indian colony(Pawtuxet) that had been wiped out by illness years earlier. They considered it a sign from God that this was a good place to start the Plymouth Colony.

Tisquantum, also known as Squanto, learned English after being taken captive and living in England for several years. He was able to use his English skills to help the Pilgrims when they arrived in North America, serving as a translator and mediator between them and Native American tribes.
Mainly just Native Americans/Indians lived here, but before the pilgrims there was also a small settlement of Filipinos that settled down in Louisiana around the early 1500's. Where as the pilgrims arrived here around the 1600's. There were also some Norse/Vikings that arrived here in the 1000's, around 400 years before Columbus. They arrived around the north east of America or somewhere around Canada. Although they did arrive here before the pilgrims, they did not technically settle here since they went back to Europe. Although some, mainly scholars, say that some settled around Canada, It has not yet been fully proven. So technically they did not settle here. Also, Columbus arrived in North America around the 1400's but mainly had established a settlement around the Caribbeans, and he did not stay here in North America, but instead went back to Europe. Although, the area where Columbus had established a settlement was acknowledged as a small colony of Spain.
