is now the state of Louisiana, in 1718 New Orleans, important center of culture and commerce is based. The French were keen to discover and explore, appreciate nature and interchange with the natives.

The Enlightenment philosophers, especially Rousseau and Montesquieu, influenced both the rebellious ideology and ideas were embodied in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, founding documents of America during the War of Independence the French gave money, the naval fleet , troops, weapons and ammunition, all these resources were essential to the success of the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin was ambassador to France from 1776 to 1783, establishing a strong denunciation with the French who appreciate the prestige of Franklin, additionally France was the first country to recognize the United States as an independent nation and as an ally and trading partner.

England: The early seventeenth century saw a great migration flow from Europe to North America. The first immigrants from what is now the United States crossed the Atlantic long after the Spanish had established their first colonies in the rest of the American continent and, indeed, England was the last European power to reach America.

Despite early failures, the late sixteenth century, to establish English colonies in North America, the British did not give up the effort, and in 1607 the Jamestown colony was founded in the Chesapeake Bay, which would be the first permanent English colony.

The first colonies were provided with a self-sufficient communities own exit to the sea. Each of the colonies became a separate entity, with strong individuality. In contrast to the policy of colonization of other countries, emigration from England was not sponsored by the government but by groups of private citizens whose main purpose was to seek better opportunities and freedom, despite the difficulties, the colonies were founded for various reasons and they were developed in very different ways, with economies, forms of government and different religious ideas.

To also understand the spirit of hard work and success in American society we must remind the puritan ideals, Massachusetts in the 1633 Statute reads: "No person can waste time or waste their doing nothing, under penalty of punishment". For the puritan work is something for God, work hard to please the Lord. The virtue of work has remained in America, and at the time of the foundation nothing was easy for the early settlers.

In the 1610 census, the population was 350 people for the outbreak of the American Revolution had 1,593,625. The colonies grew rapidly and this growth in population also grew economy, production of tobacco, rice and grains, however remember that the controls, taxes and unfavorable conditions that England had imposed on the colonies was one of the reasons that sparked the independence.

All this growth of population and economic, pushed the expansion, to seek and develop new lands, Native Americans were mostly nomadic or had small settlements, did not represent major problem and even worked alongside the settlers in hunting and business fur, but now that the settlers needed more land and animals, more resources, natives became a nuisance and gradually were driven from their land or were killed, we must also remember that when you get slaves from Africa, they are available to be plantation workers. It was not until 1924 when Native Americans finally was recognized as citizens of the United States. With this amount and in such a short time population growth settlers planted in nationalist sentiment.

Colonies in many countries converged to shape a new culture, however ideology that was forming was influenced by Puritanism, illustration and the education system. The language of the English colonists was changing over time, it is Americanized. This new American English language contained words borrowed from the Indians, French and Dutch. In addition Americanisms also emerged from combinations of English words. With religious fervor families cared for their children to learn to read and write so they could read the Bible.

Conclusion

In short, what characterizes the Spanish colonization and unlike the other two are first discovering territories and the adventure of exploration are traits it shares with the French colonial adventure, though it missed its Colonizing work and colonies having failed to repopulate and mixed with existing populations.

Other features is that the Spaniards were mixed with the populations which led to interbreeding populations that evangelized. We have not found evidence of interbreeding or French colonization of North America - although there was in the Antilles- or the Anglo colonization.

But what distinguished the English of the Spanish is that they were not first discoverers, but acquired the territories either by wars like the war that was settled by the Treaty of Paris ceding Louisiana to England - under Louis XV, in 1763- or buying the territory such as Florida Spanish- name which was purchased from Spain.

The Spaniards came forward with riches; the English came with the intention to settle and create a new home: it was a refuge and a true phenomenon of immigration. This feature differentiates from the French: those who "colonized" were ordinary people were neither discoverers nor conquerors, but people arriving in groups on ships in search of a better life, either fleeing political persecution or poverty.

This data allows us to conclude that the task of evangelization was not the concern of Protestants who were not mixed with the populations, the Catholic priests did more for advance of Christianity and improved the native lives as well.
