When did the white people migrate to us?
The migration of white people to the Americas began in the late 15th century, with the arrival of Spanish and Portuguese explorers. In the 16th century, French, Dutch, and English colonists began to settle in North America. The first permanent English settlement in North America was Jamestown, Virginia, founded in 1607. Over the next few centuries, millions of white people immigrated to the Americas from Europe, seeking economic opportunity, religious freedom, or political asylum.
