Many of the original English colonists were religious separatists from the Church of England (i.e., the Pilgrims in Plymouth and the Puritans in Massachusetts Bay Colony). Why were these groups eager to settle colonies in North America?

the reason why those religious groups were eager to settle colonies in north america was because they see the colonies as a safe place, a refugee which will help them support their living while spreading their teaching.
