Why do trees live in certain places such as how birch trees only live in New England and not in California or why do giant red oaks only live in California and not New England?

Birch trees grow in many places, not just New England. They are very common in the Midwest. There is a natural limitation on the area of growth of any plant depending on how seeds are spread - by wind, by animals, etc. The growth area of some trees has been expanded by humans planting or transplanting the trees in other areas. Some trees are limited by their growing needs, such as moisture, temperature or soil type. For example, palm trees and citrus trees cannot withstand a cold winter freeze, which limits their area to warmer climates.

Why did the puritans and pilgrims come to new England?

The Pilgrims came for religious regions. They wanted to be free from religious persecutions in England. Many Puritans, though, came for economic reasons. They felt that "To study The Bible well you had to be educated well (quoted from the United States History book)". A lot of the first European settlers in America were indentured servants. These people couldn't pay for their voyage, so they agreed to work for a certain number of years in exchange for passage. They were also promised land, tools, clothes etc. when they finished their terms, but many times the owners just ignored this part of the agreement. The life of an indentured servant was a rough one (the younger you were the more time you were a slave), and many didn't even live long enough to see the end of their contracts.

The Pilgrim Fathers were English Puritans who traveled from Britain to North America in the 1600s. They founded a colony there, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620.

The Puritans wanted to reform the Anglican Church but the pilgrims wanted break off from them completely. So when the Pilgrims had invited some Puritans on board the ship to the Americas, the Mayflower Compact had been signed.
