There was really no reason people came to Americas because Christorpher Columbus thought that America was Asia. He though that because he didn't know that there was land that blocked Asia. His goal was to reach Asia because there were stories that said that there was gold in Asia so Christopher Columbus wanted that gold.

As the glaciers expanded, the levels of the seas dropped - typically 30 feet or more.

Virtually all anthropologists today accept this as the origin of the nomadic peoples that evolved into what we now call the Native American Tribes in the USA.

Why did the Europeans have the rights to claim the Americas?
They believed that they had a right to pretty much anything that they could get their hands on. In their view, God had gifted to them the land and peoples of the Americas. As a result, the mineral and metal wealth of Andean mountain mines, the fertile grounds and crops of the Caribbean, the vast populations of Mexico, and the incredible fisheries around New England were all things that the Europeans had a right to exploit and benefit from, regardless of the cost to the indigenous peoples.
