Answer:

They were looking for sources of trade and new tools.  Most colonists and explorers were single men who were seeking their fortunes.  

"In general, however, most historians attribute colonization to mixed causes.  The thirst for land.  The need for resources to support growing populations in Europe.  The desire for new trade routes and luxury goods.  The ideology of existing slavery and indentured servitude.  The religious backing of a Church whose ideology seems to have changed to fit the circumstances and expand its pockets."

Why do the jews speak in yiddish in front of the polish smugglers? was this a good idea? explain?
Greeley [361]

They do this so the Polish smugglers won't be able to understand them. This was a good idea, particularly for the Jews relying on Yiddish language, in order to convey secrets among themselves. The Jews have no trust to the smugglers in front of them, and so they use the language to have an advantage.

<em>Historical Background</em>

The history of the Jews in Poland dates back over 1,000 years. Many children were smuggled to Poland, where the conscription of Jews did not take effect until 1844.
