I need little help and shell be great full if any one can answer my question that HOW AND WHY NEW ENGLAND found and what was its RESULT.
Thanks
Perhaps you can explain what you mean by "found" and what "result"?
Result of what?
One of the earliest English settlements in the New World, English Pilgrims fleeing religious persecution in Europe first settled the land in 1620.
This sort of historic information is available in search engines such as Wikipedia (click on the following hyperlink):

tHE DEGLACIATION of New England was a little more complex than in other areas. As the glaciers retreated and the seas rose, the land was also rising from having been compressed by the weight of the earlier glaciers. So as recently as 11500BP there was a small "inland sea", the Degeer Sea , which was left over from the downwarping of the country rock under all that ice. This sea evidences itself farther inland by deposits of the Presumbscot Formation down to New HAmpshire.The Presumbscot is loaded with fossils of large marine mammals like walrus and such . So, actually, New England was never really "lost" in the first place , the entire area merely rose enough so that the later preAlgonquian people could set up businesses and have everything in place as a huge forested area by 8000BP.
The rest is just detail.
You can get the detail in Twelve Thousand YEars (A story of the peopling of Northern NEw England), Bruce L Bourque, 2001, University of NEbraska Press
