The Colonies that became the original United States were part of Britain's land claims. The colonists also demanded land, labor, and resources from the Indians when they could. (However, before they gained their independence, Britian did not allow them to take any extra land, because they did not want to be at war with the Indians. This resulted in overcrowding of the colonies and anger towards the British government)
