Answer:
The first English colony in America was the Colony of Plymouth.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Plymouth Colony was an English colony in North America that existed from 1620 to 1691.
The colony was founded by the Pilgrim Fathers, who landed with the ship the Mayflower in present-day Plymouth in Massachusetts in 1620. Earlier they landed in what is now Provincetown on the tip of the Cape Cod peninsula, but decided not to stay there and continue sailing. The board was governed by the Mayflower Compact signed by all 41 men on the Mayflower. Nearly half of the settlers did not survive the first winter in Plymouth. Among the victims was their first governor, John Carver. To survive, they received help from Chief Massasoit and the interpreter Squanto.
In 1691, the independent colonies in Massachusetts were merged into the Province of Massachusetts Bay. This ended the history of the Plymouth Colony.
