Like many of today's immigrants, there were colonists who came to America because they were facing persecution (or experiencing prejudice) because of their religious or cultural beliefs. Also, like many of today's immigrants, there were colonists who came to America seeking a better life for themselves and their family, and economic opportunities that were not available to them in the old country.
The first colonists to arrive in South America were the Spanish conquistadors, in the 15th Century.
The first colonists in America were primarily referred to as "Pilgrims," particularly those who settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620. They were a group of English Separatists seeking religious freedom. Additionally, the Jamestown settlers, who established the first permanent English settlement in Virginia in 1607, are also considered among the first colonists. Collectively, these early settlers laid the groundwork for future colonization in North America.
