Part A1:
Many political motivations drove England to colonize North America. There was a movement from other colonies to explore and seek wealth like France, and Spain staking their claims on settlements. When England came to stake their claim they found success in crops that could not be grown in England like sugar cane and tobacco. The goal was to increase English territories and to increase wealth by doing this, England could grow political power and fund armies.
Part A2:
People chose or were forced to move to the new settlements for many reasons. One of which was to be able to practice their religion more freely, England was still governed by the Church of England at the time, and moving to the new colonies would give you and others like you space to practice your religion and settle with neighbors who had similar beliefs.
Economic opportunities were also a factor for some who chose to leave England. There were prospects of accumulating wealth in the new territories. While England’s cities were bursting with people many looked to the colonies in North America for opportunities. There was so much competition for jobs and housing.
