They came because Columbus thought that going west, not east would be a faster rout to the Indies (china). But the real answer is because, back then, you were considered more powerful if you had a lot of land. So the Queen/King sent them over with promises of a better life and the Puritans and the Separatists were 2 religious groups who felt that religious freedom was quite necessary. So, they left England in search of a better life.
