Answer:

There are several reasons why different groups wanted to settle the new world:

  • Early Spanish Conquistadors simply wanted to explore new lands and get rich.
  • Puritan Separatists from England wanted to escape religious persecution and form colonies under strict religious and relatively egalitarian principles.
  • Many poor Scots-Irish farmers emigrated in order to find more suitable land than what was available in cold and wet Ulster.
