The Pilgrims (Plymouth colony) came to America for religious freedom. Jamestown was the first official British settlement. The British came believing that they could find gold (much like the Spanish) but they were unable to find the precious metal. Latter arrivals were due to religious freedom, outlook for religious reform (i.e. Puritans), land (crowding in Britain), or wealth.
