The correct answer is B) The colonists could get property and move up the social scale.
The life of lower-class colonists differed from that of the poor in Europe in that the colonists could get property and move up the social scale.
That is why so many English people decided to take the adventure and travel to the Americas. They had the chance to change their lives or start a new one. They came to America to get a better life, something that was difficult to do in Europe. The first colony in the Americas was Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607.
