Sounds right.

Actually, I think I'll have to go along with Sondra's take on this. The
English almost _never_ got along with those they found before them. Anywhere
in the world they chose to colonize. The key issue is: "settlement" as
opposed to "trade".
If you are talking about the English and the Pacific Northwest, it gets a
little more confusing about who is "English". The British, The
anadians,
or the Americans?

A fairly significant majority of those that came in the "Great Migration"
(1630-1640) were city dwellers.

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:
"Only when the last tree has been felled,
The last river poisoned,
The last fish caught,
Will you recognize that you can't eat money.
