Asked by Shalee ^~^

Why did the English establish colonies in the Americas?
----------

Because the king of England wanted them to explore new land.

They had a competition with France on who gets the most land.

They wanted to get away from the Church of England.

They wanted to spread their own religion.

They were also looking for natural resources/ways to make a profit.

Due to overcrowding of prisons in England, they were looking for places to send poor people who were in prison for not paying back debts
^^^^Those are some of the facts I have


So...I was wondering if I was right? This a short answer/essay and I want to make nice, long and neat :) so any good websites?
