Each colony had a different reason to start. The Jamestown settlement in 1607 was to find gold ( there was no gold) and they were sent there by the London Company. Pennsylvania was begun by the Quakers that came with William Penn from London. Plymouth, Mass was begun by the Piligrams seeking a means to worship beyond the Church of England. So, as you can see there were many reasons why people came to the colonies. New York began as a Dutch settlement and was taken by the Duke of York as a British colony. Each colony has it's own story and reason.
