The English Colonial conquest of the East Coast of North America did not happen overnight, but over generations. Who were these people? What skills and background did they bring with them? Why were the English so much more prone to develop permanent settlements so far from home? What did they find? The answers may surprise you. They were not us. We are not them. In this episode we will consider the mindset of the first permanent colonials, as well as, what kept them coming, in spite of hardship.
