For the most part, they wanted an opportunity to own their own land.  European land was largely owned by rich Lords and Monarchs.  The US was largely open for the taking, and the poor would agree to be an indentured servant for many years in exchange for a chance to make it to the US, and hopefully one day own their own land.
