The english established permanent settlements all along the east coast of North America. they previously failed in establishing settlements in until the 1600’s.England have poor finances from cost being in wars and from losing money from making investments.Another reason why england had been unsuccessful in establishing permanent settlements in North America was that there was religious strife within the country.
