I guess that fair to some extent, the distinction I’ve made in the past is that people who were “settling” for a crown or a state were colonialists (see Spanish conquistadors, for example), and those who sought asylum from religious persecution or poverty were immigrants. I think if the French and English crown had not started wars in the early 1600s, the later English arrivals (think Plymouth Rock, not Jamestown) would have probably had a better time getting along with the Native Americans. But who can say now 🤷♀️
