Freedom to practice their religion in the public square.  Freedom from tyranny.  Freedom to pursue whatever job they wanted.

1. Escape religious prosecution from England ( the Puritans grew tired of the incomplete reformation of the English Church.)

2. To Explore new crops ( since Spaniards found riches in other worlds, it motivated the British to Explore the New World )

3. Find labor ( people that were oppressed in England, losing jobs, homes, and money to taxes and other reforms from government types)

4. New land for expanding territory ( more British power )
