Badly formed question, however....
Wherever English explorers encountered new lands they staked a claim. Remember the explorers/colonists were ENGLISH before 1708 when Scotland was joined to England in the Act of Union to create Great Britain.
Spain and Portugal claimed the whole world outside of Europe based on The Treaty of Tordesillas proclaimed by The Pope, dated 1494, just after Columbus's first voyage. Spain got everything to the West (The Americas) and Portugal everything to the East (Africa, Asia etc). Bad maths and a poor understanding of geography meant that Portugal also got Brazil which is why they speak Portugese there today.
After the Reformation, Protestant countries, England, Holland, Denmark and the French Huguenots not bound by Catholic law began exploring, trading and settlement in The New World.
The first English Settlement was in 1585 at Raleigh, N. Carolina ( sponsored as you would guess, by Sir Walter Raleigh). Over the next 150 years the English ( together with Scots and Irish) settled all along the Eastern seaboard of North America, fighting with the French in the north and West, the Spanish in the South and the Dutch wherever they found them. Most of the English settlements were in the form of charters ( licenses if you will) from the English sovereign to companies to set up a colony and trade. From the Crown's point of view it was a good scheme to dump dissenters a long way from home--Catholics in Maryland, Quakers in Pennsylvania, Puritans in Massachusetts. No country ever recognised each other's claim to territory except as the result of treaty after a war. The period 1580 to 1760 was one of continual European wars. Gradually, European powers entered into treaties and by 1774, with the Quebec Act that formalised British control over Canada and established the rights of Catholic Frenchmen and native Americans all of Britain's possessions in North America were internationally recognised.
The inhabitants of the thirteen colonies were Englishmen (Scotsmen/Irishmen/Ulstermen) abroad and owed their loyalty to the Crown.
Revolutionaries and those who conspired with other powers such as France and Spain were traitors.
