It depends which Europeans you are talking about. The very earliest Europeans to get to America are thought to be the Salutrean people, around 15-20,000 years ago, during the ice age, and they probably went in search of food and a better climate. The Vikings are also thought to have reached North America, again in search of new lands to settle in and to farm. Columbus, the first to definitely reach the new world, went in search of wealth. The Pilgrims went for religious freedom. Subsequent settlers and migrants have gone in search of either wealth or freedom, or both.
