Your question is a bit vague. Do you actually mean North America or just America (the United States)?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_colonization_...

If you look at that URL, it will take you to wikipedia's page concerning British colonization of the America's (Including the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_history_of_t...

If you look at this page you will find the colonial history of the United States (scroll down the page about 1/3 of the way and start reading where it mentions Jamestown)

Answer 2

The British didn't colonize Mexico, just the parts of North America that are modern day USA and Canada.
