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).
I believe the answer is B, correct me if I am wrong, but I'm pretty positive that's the answer:)
Answer:
The diffusion of crops and pathogens, including epidemic diseases like the bubonic plague, often occurred along trade routes.
The bubonic plague - named the Black Death by later historians - was caused by the Yersinia pestis bacteria, which lived in rodent populations and was spread by fleas that had bitten infected animals.
Once the plague transferred to animals that were in close contact with humans and to humans themselves, it began to spread along established trade routes.
It is difficult to measure the exact human cost of the plague due to limited records from the historical period.
Most historians think that the plague killed somewhere between 30% and 60% of Europe’s population between 1347 and 1351.
