		In addition, many of the British colonists were immigrants and their descendants who had either not been economically successful in Britain, or who had run afoul of the British legal system (it has been estimated that between one-half and two-thirds of the white colonists who came to British America came as indentured servants).
		Surprised and alarmed by the extent of the resistance, the British retreated to Boston.
		America became a symbol of freedom and opportunity, envied as a new land, free from the burdens of the past.

	LADYDRAGON.COM - CONQUEST OF AMERICA
		But, it's a little hard for us sometimes to imagine that to a 16th century European the bulk of North America seemed to be an inhospitable, savage land that had very little value, that in fact was a major inconvenience because it stood in their way of a convenient sea route to get to Asia.
		America was first explored by adventurers from the nobility (remnants of the feudal knight class) who were looking for instant wealth, countries to lord over, and pagans to convert.
		But America was ultimately conquered by a new class of farmers, artisans, and merchants who did the slow, painstaking groundwork necessary to build new lives in a new land.

		And as conquest paves the way for colonization, it will ultimately be farmers, artisans, and merchants who lay the slow, painstaking groundwork of building new lives in a new land.
