The discovery of the vast lands to the west by Christopher Columbus opened the flood gates of European adventurers and explorers that sought to subdue the North American continent. Those hungry for adventure and a new life came primarily from England, France, Spain, and the Netherlands. In the western and southern bounds of North America the Spanish established their presence, while the middle of the continent was controlled by the French, and the eastern seaboard was colonized mainly by the Dutch and English. One by one, from the settlement at Jamestown, Virginia, established in 1607, to the last of the 13 British colonies to form, Georgia, in 1732, Europeans built homes, farms, and churches to form enduring communities. Some came seeking religious freedom, some came for the promise of cheap land and the hope of a new life, while others came in chains from Africa to work the fields. Regardless of their status or reason for coming, free or enslaved, rich or poor, pious or profane, everyone would become the seeds of a fledgling nation that would spring from the 13 British colonies to become the United States of America.
