The founders of the 13 colonies had various motives, including economic opportunity, religious freedom, and political autonomy. Many sought to escape persecution, such as the Puritans in Massachusetts who sought a place to practice their faith freely. Others, like those in Virginia, were motivated by the potential for wealth through agriculture and trade. Additionally, some colonies were established as a means to expand British territorial claims and influence in the New World.
