Most seventeenth-century migrants to North America from England were primarily seeking economic opportunities, religious freedom, or escaping political turmoil. Many were Puritans and other religious dissenters who settled in New England, while others, such as indentured servants, came to work on plantations in the Chesapeake region. Additionally, some were part of the colonial elite, seeking to establish land and wealth in the New World. This wave of migration significantly shaped the demographic and cultural landscape of early American colonies.
