The Thirteen Colonies were under the rule of the Kings and Queens.
Most of the Colonists were English. Some people from Scotland, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands,
France, Sweden, plus many more countries also came to America and they were
colonists too. These colonists came to America for the same reason as
the English. They brought people to the colonies to work for the people
who owned them. The slaves were black people from Africa. The first
slaves were sent to Virginia in 1619. After a while, all of the Thirteen
Colonies had slaves to work for them. More people from different
religions came to America and with more people, the population grew. By
1700, there was about 250,000 people living in America.
