DBWI: English Colonizes Entire Eastern Seaboard

I was just curious on what would've happened if the English were able to establish full control over the eastern seaboard. It should be possible too, considering that the English tended to generate large immigration waves back in the 17th century.

I'm curious on how this would affect the coast and the interior; I would think that Dutch and Swedish would not be noted languages in the region for example. But what are some other things that might change with a purely English sea coast?
 
Nigh impossible. Weren't the Vinland jarldoms already established a full three centuries before Conaire Ua Briain began the first non-Norse expeditions to Hybreasail?
 
For one I think there would be a poorer culture for it. When the Danish and Vinlandic Jarls declared independence from Denmark they enabled the North Atlantic Union to form, without which we wouldn't have the Scottosh Sagas or the Atlantic culture we have today.

Instead, we'd have some English settlements that would have inevitably been conquered by Spain or France. Lord knows they caused the union enough of a problem IOTL, just England? They wouldn't stand a chance from manpower alone.
 
I can't see this happening. New Netherland with the greatest port on the continent, New Amsterdam, crushed the English, especially those startups at Plymouth, but yes they couldn't conquer Virginia founded a couple years earlier than the Dutch founded their colony. New Netherland stretches from the Connecticut River to the Susquehanna, that's a lot to conquer; and they had the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy which they got along with, unlike the English who wiped out their Powhattan allies. The English couldn't even keep Charles Town from being killed off by the Spanish. It is amazing how greatly New Netherland was, with Iroquois help, able to colonize the Great Lakes despite French claims to the area. They have encircled Virginia all the way to the Tennessee River. How do the English conquer the Dutch? English King William when he had a personal union with Holland put his energy into the Dutch navy and ignored the English navy thinking his heirs would always have a stake in Dutch politics and his hope to bring English parlimentary and hereditary monarchical ways to the Dutch.
