Answer:
Escaping religious persecution, economic motivations, etc...
Explanation:
Many different colonists came to America for a variety of reasons, but the Puritans, for example, came to escape the religious persecution they faced in England and wanted more economic opportunities in this new land. Spanish colonizers came in search of wealth and wanted to spread their religion. The early colonizers came to the Americas to escape persecution and have better economic lives for themselves and their families, something that is similar for many of today's immigrants.
