    The colonization of the New World was first an attempt to conquer uncharted land, discover new unique crops, and collect riches such as rare minerals like gold. Some of the first contacts weren’t great, most starved, some even died. They needed help, therefore, the fragile pilgrims of what was left of the colony sent for help. The colonials sailed on the ship which took them many months just to get back to Europe, and it would take even longer for these colonials to return back to the New World. They explained to the Virginia Company that they were determined to go so that they may “live and die as English men and women” and they were sick and tired of the dutchification of their children. As these colonists sailed the Mayflower, by their peppery and stocky Captain Myles Standish they lost track of where they were headed and landed many miles north of Jamestown at Plymouth Bay.

Disease, communication barriers, land rights, food supply, cultural clashes and wars between the British and the natives played a major role in the resistance between the naives and the British for the first 60 years of colonization(1). The English sent over 162,000 convicts to Australia in 806 ships. The first eleven of these ships are today known as the First Fleet and contained the convicts and marines that are now acknowledged as the Founders of Australia. The first fleets’ arrival on Australian shores consisted of 11 ships, 717 convicts, women and children, livestock, rum, pork supplies and equipment.(2). Its arrival brought an end to the occupation of the land by Aboriginal people as they had traditionally lived. The diaries and journals of the First Fleet provide descriptions of the locals as "native", "primitive", "barbaric" and even "stupid". There were many violent acts of resistance, as Aboriginal people took a stand against the occupation of their land and the destruction of their social, religious, legal and communal systems. Some Aboriginal people soon become afraid of entering Sydney Town because of the threat of gunshot wounds and death. There had been many wounded and killed and other encounters known of in the bush because Aborigines were present wherever farmers went and they always resisted the taking over of their land.…
