The american colonies
The Puritans settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts in the 1620s after failing to reform the Church of England, seeking to establish a "city on a hill" as a moral example. While colonies differed, colonial elites saw themselves as British and modeled colonial governance on the British system. However, the term "American" was used pejoratively in Britain to refer to colonists as inferior. This attitude fueled calls for equal treatment and representation, contributing to the American Revolution. In New England, Puritan communities divided land amongst proprietors and all white men had a voice and land, though church membership was limited to the "elect."
The jesuit relations
The Jesuit Relations were documents written by Jesuit missionaries in French, Latin, and Italian updating their superiors on the progress of converting Native American tribes, though conversions did not see much success until the 1640s. The documents provide insight into the relations between the French and natives. Jesuit missionaries, many of whom came from wealthy backgrounds due to their work in French colleges, were active in Latin America, France, and Canada. One of the first missionaries, Father Paul le Jeana, was so impressed by the natives that he published one of the first books of the Jesuit Relations to describe their daily lives, culture, beliefs, which included having two main gods.
Battles of saratoga

After more intense fighting where the Americans were able to capture part of the British defenses, Burgoyne's forces were unable to hold their ground and he decided to surrender, influencing France to formally join the war as an American ally.
Indian conquistadors
The Spaniards were greatly outnumbered by native tribes but were able to conquer through alliances with some native groups who helped them economically and physically fight their enemies.

The native allies formed the backbone of the effort, as the Spaniards relied on them for support like cooking edible food, using a strategy of divide and conquer.
