THE 3 MAIN REASONS FOR EXPLORATION?

Back to the point, different people visit or move to different areas for different reasons.Settlers moved to the 13 colonies for the purpose of religious freedom (God).

LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I MEAN .

PlymouthPeople looking for religious freedom started a third settlement in North America.In 1620, the Separatists (now known as Pilgrims), sailed to North America on a shipnamed the Mayflower. The Mayflower carried Pilgrims from both England and theNetherlands. The ship landed at Plymouth Bay in what is now Massachusetts. Theylived on the ship for the first few months. The Pilgrim leaders came up with agovernment plan that would help all people live together in a peaceful way. All themen signed the agreement, which we know as the Mayflower Compact. Then theyelected John Carver as governor. Many people think of the Mayflower Compact asAmerica's first example of true self government. It was the first self-government planever put into effect in the English colonies.

The PuritansMost of the people who lived in the NewEngland colonies wanted to create communitieswhere they could practice their own religiousbeliefs feely.Some of the colonist in the region, like thePilgrims of Plymouth, wanted to separatethemselves completely from the Church ofEngland. Other people considered themselvesPuritans. They wanted to continue sometraditions of the English church, but they wantedto have freedom to change or “purify” others.
