Colonies were settled in North America by the English primarily to take advantage of the rich Natural Resources (timber, pelts, and land for growing crops such as tobacco). However, some English settlers, such as the Quakers who founded Pennsylvania and the Separatists who took part in founding Plymouth, came to North America to escape religious persecution in England.
