Why did people come to America in the late 1600?

Answer 1

AnswerThere were several reasons why people came to the English colonies in New England. This occurred mostly in the 1600s and was due mostly to the following reasons: - Anglicans, a group of religious extremists who believed in eliminated most recreational aspects of English life, wanted to live in a land of religious freedom - Colonies were being formed all over the world, in which larger countries like Spain, England, Portugal, and France, along with the Dutch, could manipulate the Natural Resources of the lands to expand trade. The English were doing this in the Americas and so they had people moving to America as workers - Many felt that Europe was overcrowding and saw the Americas as a land of oppurtunity for wealth and prosperity with more land and freedom

Answer 2

Settlers to North America were often of different backgrounds and interests but many of these have to do with American and the United States being "The Promised Land"... * * Officials (and sometimes their families) of the country vested with the success of the colonization. This might include members of the military. This group might plan a return to their country of origin after the settlement is complete or with the passage of some time. * * Groups or individuals seeking escape or freedom not enjoyed in their country of origin. Religious freedom might be an example or the escape from religious persecution. The Pilgrins were an example. Included here are peoples barred from their homelands (for political reasons) as enemies of the state, dissidents have come to America so that their voices will not be silenced. * * People of substance who are seeking to increase their wealth and position by relocating to lands where they might greatly succeed. A person of moderate wealth in their country of origin might be considered of greater wealth in a colonial settlement. * * People of lesser wealth who see early colonization as an opportunity that might not otherwise be open to them. A drawback is that they don't have the significant resources they might initially need. These colonists might be financed by families or community to relieve the burden of them in the originating country. * * People of skills and capabilities who see colonization as a new opportunity for themselves and the skills and capabilities they have. * * People who accept colonization and relocation as a fact of their employment to a more well to do individual, family, or business. * * People taking on the obligation of being an "indentured servant" for a period so that they might later have an opportunity to be independent and succeed. * * People who are given the opportunity (or forced to) to be colonists rather than be imprisioned or sent to an even less desirable locale. * * People who wish to be soldiers of fortune, discoverers, or frontiersmen who wish seek wealth and fortune by their own hands. Any of these people may choose to return to their country of origin after possibly becoming disillusioned by the colonization. Note that they would have to have th resources for their voyage home.
