The puritans (Christians who broke away from the church of England) wanted a purer simpler religion so they colonized in North America. They then learned how to grow crops and took over the land leaving a small amount for the Native Americans. They did this because they wanted more Europeans living in North America. Europeans soon discovered gold which made more Europeans come to the land, this pushed the native Americans off the land.
