Even though colonization in America by various European powers varied in purpose and pattern, Europeans powers had similar approaches to colonizing North America which can be seen by the widespread native conflict, use of native labor (such as encomiendas) and self-established claims to the land.

Although European colonization in North America was achieved and enforced using similar methods, European powers had very different reasons, economic, ideological, and religious, as evidenced by the difference in the treatment of Native populations, conflicts in the time, in the religions, and in the economic endeavors of the colonial powers.

Despite some similar methods used by the European powers in the colonization of North America, such as the use of joint-stock companies by the British and Dutch and the use of unfree labor, many patterns of colonization developed based on the motives of the people who colonized to the region and their relationship with the Natives.

To a high extent, European colonialists asserted their power, control, and force on North America in different ways specifically in that of their relationships between native inhabitants seen in Spain’s encomienda systems compared to French trade alliances as well as motivating sources such as Dutch patroonships versus England’s indentured servitude, evidently influenced by contrasting imperial goals.

Although many of the European colonizers had similar motives in coming to America, they all approached how to do it a little bit differently which can be seen by how differently the groups interacted with Indians, felt about religious tolerance, grew crops, and traded with others.

Despite the evident similarities revealed through the numerous times European powers colonized America, it can be argued that there are apparent differences on how the Europeans went about doing so shown through the differing levels of religious tolerance, the distinct relationships with the native groups, and varying motives.

Although European powers approached the new world for varying reasons including for power, money, or religious freedom, the premises under which they acquired new land was fairly similar in that it demanded conflict with the Native populations, such as the spread of European disease and deadly conflict as Europeans encroached onto the Native's long held land.
