The next task is to select three groups from the list and describe the influence of each. Of the non-English settlers, the largest group consisted of Africans, most of whom were enslaved and forced to immigrate. The…

Some came for the opportunity to seek fortune, others came to work the field to escape the harsh poverty England was facing, and others came in search of purity with the Lord Jesus Christ.

This essay will look at the English settlement in the Chesapeake and New England colonies, from how how both settlers originated from England and shaped their own colonies in different ways to the factors that created their new societies.…

    The English had really done their research before trying to sail off to the New World, with people’s hopes held high. Their first and most important reason was that moving to the New World would help them achieve religious freedom because in England, they were persecuted if they believed in another religion. For people that weren’t concerned with the religion issue could have been merchants going to try and become wealthy off trade. And the poor were planning on going to start a new, better life in the New World by farming there. Criminals could get out of jail if they really wanted to, but they had to become an indentured servant, and that seemed better than sitting in a jail cell.…
