Most of the colonists were English, but people from Scotland,
Ireland, Germany and Netherlands, France, Sweden and others countries
came too. Some people were brought to the colonies against
their will.. These colonists had the same reasons as the English for
coming to America. They were back slaves from Africa. With all these
people coming to America, the colonial population rose. By 1700 about
250,000 colonists lived in America. The first colonies-Virginia and
Massachusetts-had the most people.
