Answer:

In order from top to bottom:

American Indians

Spanish

Jamestown Colonists

African Slaves

Pilgrims

Quakers

Step-by-step explanation:

It's sort of weird to say that American Indians "arrived" to America, but they've lived in the Americas for tens of thousands of years.

The Spanish were one of the first European countries to explore the New World. They basically inspired all Europeans to colonize the Americas. Among one of these Spanish explorers was the well known Christopher Columbus.(1492)

For purposes of economic gains, joint investors sponsored colonists to establish the first English colony in North America, Jamestown. (1607)

Jamestown colonists brought African slaves to work on their plantations. (1619)

Since pilgrims had different religious ideals than that of England's, they sought religious freedom. They voyaged to New York to separate from England. Though, they ended up in Massachusetts. (1620)

With similar reasons with pilgrims, Quakers established colonies the North America where the persecuted can be safe. (1656)
