There were several different reasons for English settlement including:

1) Economic opportunities- North America provided individuals who were poor in England an opportunity to escape poverty. Along with this, in North America there was no rigid social structure. In England at this time, if you were born a peasant you would stay a peasant for your entire life.

2) Religious freedom- Individuals who broke away from the Anglican Church (Church of England) could escape to North America in order to practice their own religion.

3) Pursuit of gold/natural resources- North America was known for having gold and other valuable resources that English citizens desired.

Ultimately, these goals changed over time. This is especially true when the Europeans began growing cash crops like tobacco in the Southern colonies (like Virginia).

Which explains why Hellenistic culture spread so widely in the centuries following Alexander's death?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

b) Rome adopted many Greek cultural elements, which spread during its conquest.

Explanation:

It is called the Hellenistic period or Hellenism or Alexandrian period (by Alexander the Great) to a historical stage of antiquity whose chronological limits are marked by two important political events: the death of Alexander the Great (323 BC) and the death of the last Hellenistic sovereign, Cleopatra VII of Egypt, and her lover Marco Antonio, after their defeat in the battle of Actium (31 BC). This last event marked the rise of the Roman Empire in the Mediterranean Sea. The Hellenistic culture was characterized by the spread of the culture, spirit, values, science, and philosophy of ancient Greece throughout the Mediterranean Sea and the regions that were conquered by Alexander the Great. The Romans were among these cultures that were deeply influenced by Hellenistic culture, and with their eventual expansion, Greek cultural elements also spread throughout Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
