English rulers sent colonists to America in the 1600s for several key reasons. Firstly, they sought to expand their empire and increase wealth through the establishment of profitable colonies that could produce valuable resources, such as tobacco and sugar. Secondly, there was a desire to alleviate overcrowding and unemployment in England by providing new opportunities for settlers. Lastly, religious dissenters, particularly Puritans, sought refuge from persecution, prompting migration to the New World in search of religious freedom.
