France was mostly interested in fur trapping and trade with the natives.
Virginia was settled because the English thought they could find gold there as the Spanish had in South America. when they realized there was no gold to be found they turned to tobacco farming, which was also very lucrative.
New England was settled by people who wanted to escape from the religious oppression they had experienced in England, primarily the Pilgrims and the Puritans.

From 1841-1850, 1.3 million people moved overseas, the greatest part around 70% went to the USA, the rest of them shipped to Australia and only 2% to Canada. A lot of people died because of different diseases during the trip and the conditions were terrible. In the USA, quarantine centers were established for arriving ships, where sick emigrants recovered. The emigration continued until the First World War. Canada and Australia reacted in a different way, because the amount of emigrants was much lower, the greatest part of emigrants decided to move to the USA. Emigrants had the poorest jobs and bad conditions for life in the USA.
