North America was a rich land, full of natural resources. European nations raced to set up colonies in order to make use of these resources. The continent's reputation as a land of opportunity attracted thousands of settlers, but life for these colonists was hard and sometimes dangerous. Why did the European nations set up colonies? What was daily life like for the colonists? How did colonists and Native Americans help each other?
