Answer:

The first colonists came to America for religious freedom and political liberty. They were also looking for economic opportunity. Although many claim we were the first colonizers to 'own' land in America, Native Americans were here long before we'd arrived. The first people to settle in North America that were documented (other than natives) were the Clovis people. They got the name from an ancient settlement discovered near Clovis, New Mexico. DNA actually imply they are ancestors of almost 80% of all the indigenous people population in America.
