hey, all. a new idea has been bouncing around in my head recently, concerning European colonization: Jamestown struggled historically, so what if the settlement ultimately failed? would there eventually be more successful colonies on the Eastern Seaboard, or would the Europeans more or less give up trying to properly colonize North America and instead just try setting up trading outposts, playing the natives off each other for their own profit and eventually leading to the formation of some native states that are strong enough to largely resist assimilation by the Europeans, at least for a while? keep in mind that, with the earliest-possible POD, New Spain would still exist and the Spanish would have alot of territory in Central and South America as well
