The decision to travel to America in hopes of a new life had to be an exciting one. Knowing they would be involved in helping to build a new nation must have been a challenging, yet frightening prospect. Those brave souls who took on the challenge, regardless of their reasons, have to be respected and celebrated today, for they were the backbone of America.
Often with the help of Native Americans, colonial settlers overcame many hardships— from lack of food and shelter to learning new ways of survival. They raised their families in a harsh environment and created a new nation along the way. Rich and poor immigrants from many different countries created a life in a land that offered many opportunities for a better life. This describes Colonial America.
