There were several reasons: England was in upheaval after the War of the Roses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wars_of_the_Roses People were not comfortable with some of the political and religious changes, so they sought a new life. England was also dealing with the Black Plague. Although the plague was around as early as the 14th century there were increases in outbreaks that led some people to migrate away. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death
