Explanation:

Broadly speaking, colonialism tells the story of powerful countries colonizing and controlling other lands from the point of view of the colonizers. These narratives exalt the virtues and sacrifices of the colonizers, emphasizing what they endured traveling often very long distances to foreign lands. This literature paints the contributions the colonizers make to other cultures as a positive force, often showing them bringing civilizing influences to "savages." A good example of a colonial story that also functions as origin myth for the United States is the saga of the pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. Their arrival and survival is portrayed as a positive event, and their struggles, hardships, and sacrifices as noble and heroic.

Post-colonialism, broadly speaking, tells the story of colonialism from the point of view of the colonized. It often depicts colonization as brutal, exploitative, and extremely disruptive to pre-existing cultures.
