Motivations for Emigration to the New World

As it continues to grow, colonial America is a great opportunity for poor British trying to escape economic and religious turmoil. The Great Depression produced long-term unemployed drifters nationwide. The acquisition of state power by the English church led to unjust treatment of other religious denominations. But whether economics of social problems will allow more British citizens to move away from their homes to the dangerous and unknown Americas. In my opinion, more immigrants are directly related to wealth and the desire for liberation from poverty than the desire to build a safer religious environment.

However, the motivation of the second settlers was different from the motives of the Virginians. Puritan, who established Plymouth's colony in 1620, was an opponent of the English church who came to the New World to find a place where religious beliefs can be practiced. Their unity is characterized by a universal and universally applicable religion. Their concerns are entirely about the establishment of citizen governments and it seems that there is no need to make special provisions for the government's support of their church.

If we do not mention the big wave of immigration from the old world to the new world, history will not be complete. In the 1600s, a great wave of immigration from Old World Europe to the Continent of North America was witnessed (International Information Program). At the beginning of this wave, hundreds of British settlers flooded the new settlers (international). These new settlers have various reasons and incentives to seek new lives in the New World (International). For those who choose to settle in New England they are being driven by the Martin Luther Reform movement (Henry Sage, 2007). The reformist Britons are called Puritans (Sage, 2007) because they need to understand that the influence of reform is "purification" of the British Church.

The British colony of the New World is mainly the result of exploration of the era. British began immigrating to the New World in the early 17th century; they settled in the New England and Chesapeake areas, and both developed their own societies in the 18th century. These two regions form different political, economic and social systems in each region. The political difference dominates the colony. The economic difference is due to motivation for settlement. New England immigrants as families, Chesapeake immigrants are mainly men, but social differences are due to people who settled there.
