In general terms, the 'process of colonization' that affected North America was the movement of Europeans from their European homes into new homes on the North American continent. Initially tentative and often unsuccessful, the process established initial settlements in coastal areas; later, those settlements led to inland settlements, with communications and overarching administrative services established. Still later, entire regions became 'civilized' by new arrivals and the growth of the older settlers, along with regulatory and other support from the home-country and, not to be overlooked, the dispersal of Natives in the areas being colonized.
