Best Answer

English colonization was shaped by the entrepreneurs who wanted to make a fortune, religious minorities wanting to worship w/o governmental interference and to create societies based on biblical teachings, and aristocrats wanting to recreate feudalism. Lots of people just wanted gold! :)

Hope this helps :)
