The major challenges facing early settlements in the New World were the unavailability of food because it was a new place for it and they obtained their food due to hunting of animals which is a hard way.

As the Portuguese were establishing trading posts along the west coast of Africa, Spain watched with increasing envy. The Spanish monarchs also desired a direct sea route to Asia. In 1492, an Italian sea captain, Christopher Columbus, convinced Spain to finance a bold plan: finding a route to Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. In October of that year, Columbus reached an island in the Caribbean. He was mistaken in his thought that he had reached the East Indies. But his voyage would open the way for European colonization of the Americas-a process that would forever change the world. The immediate impact of Columbus's voyage, however, was to increase tensions between Spain and Portugal. The Portuguese believed that Columbus had indeed reached Asia. Portugal suspected that Columbus had claimed for Spain lands that Portuguese sailors might have reached first. The rivalry between Spain and Portugal grew more tense. In 1493, Pope Alexander VI stepped in to keep peace between the two nations. He suggested an imaginary dividing line, drawn north to south, through the Atlantic Ocean. All lands to the west of the line, known as the Line of Demarcation, would be Spain's. These lands included most of the Americas. All lands to the east of the line would belong to Portugal. Portugal complained that the line gave too much to Spain. So it was moved farther west to include parts of modern-day Brazil for the Portuguese. In 1494, Spain and Portugal signed the Treaty of Tordesillas, in which they agreed to honor the line. The era of exploration and colonization was about to begin in earnest.
Dear King George III of Great Britain,
I am writing to you because you have failed as a ruler. I write only after long thought about the many issues between us. Some issues and events of the last few years include raising taxes very much.
You see, in the American colonies, we believe that the purpose of government is to have the government help us out, not us serve the government. Government should be wise. It should follow the principles of John Locke, such as natural rights and that we can form a new government if the current one is not working out. These ideas mean that you must either change your laws or leave to form a new government. The role of government in natural law is to help the citizens and not to make them pay for everything they do or say.
Unfortunately, you have not lived up to these expectations as a ruler. One example of how you have disappointed us is by raising taxes to VERY high prices. This affects our rights because we should not be taxed for things that are required to survive such as breathing. Another example is how you are decreasing our natural rights. This affects our rights because you are oppressing them. A third example is how you do not really care about your people as much as before. This affects our rights because we need to have a working government to help us.
Please remember that we did try to reason with you first. Remember when we dumped the tea into the harbor, and then we fired at your troops? Or, there was the time we sent you the declaration of independence.
Because you have failed to address our concerns, the American colonists are declaring complete independence from you and from your country, Great Britain. We are no longer part of Great Britain and from now on, we will now be completely independent from you.
Sincerely,
Your Name
