| Why did Europeans explore and colonize North America? |
|
 | I know that North America was colonized. I just don't understand why. | |
|
| I believe it was for economic, political and religious reasons. | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Europeans moved so that they could expand their ownership of land. | |
|
| I think they also came so that they could have religious freedom. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| Expanding their hold on new land makes sense. |
|
| It says here that they also wanted to increase political strength. | |
|
| I get it. The more land they obtained, the more wealth they would acquire. | |
