European colonization in North America was driven primarily by the search for new economic opportunities and the desire for religious freedom. The promise of abundant resources, such as gold, furs, and land, attracted settlers seeking wealth and improved livelihoods. Additionally, various groups, particularly the Puritans and Quakers, sought to escape religious persecution in Europe and establish communities where they could practice their faith freely.
