I think you'd have to revert to a much earlier version of eu4 to have more fidelity to history. The current state of the game let's people who didn't experience the bronze age be equal with Europe by late 17th century, sometimes earlier.

Do you have a colony in the St. John's (East) area of Newfoundland?

Yes, I had to "land" there (due to colony mechanics) in order to "seed" the Atlantic coast. I hated violating historical accuracy, but without it, I'm sure the entire eastern sea board would have been Danish/Spanish by the time I even could reach it. =(
