If you mean the American colonies by English settlers it was for a few reasons. The primary reason was more space, but secondary reasons also included religious freedom and wealth hunting.

At first, the French settled in North America to make money for fur trappings. Later on the Dutch settled in and tried to make a living, but they did not have a well enough government. Finally, in the 1600s, colonies formed along the Atlantic coastline, giving us the 13 colonies.
