When the English colonists arrive was 1585 which was on North
Carolina. But this colony failed so the found another one in North
Carolina. In 1607 the English built Jamestown, their very first American
settlement which was located in what became known as the Virginia
Colony. In 1620 an English group called the Pilgrims came to America
aboard the Mayflower. Pilgrim's built the second English colony
called the Plymouth Colony in what is now Massachusetts. Many Pilgrims
died during the first year. But Squanto, Massasoit and other Indians
helped the pilgrims survive. To thank a god for their survival, the
Pilgrims held a celebration in fall of 1621. The Indians were invited to
this fest, which became known as the first Thanksgiving.
