The English established colonies in America for many reasons, one of the first reasons was for religious rights and freedom. Religious freedom didn’t exist back in England, because all the people had to belong to the Church of England. They wanted to get away from the Church of England and spread their own religion. The second reason was the same reason as the Spanish conquistadors and the French, which was for gold, wealth and other riches. Other reasons were because there king wanted them to explore a new land, the overcrowding of prisons in the land and also something called the “Enclosure Acts”

Native Americans were important because the French and British both had American Indian allies. In my opinion, I think that the British had the best advantage, even though the French allied with several Native American tribes including the Shawnee, Lenape, Ojibwa, Ottawa, and the Algonquin peoples. The British allied with the Iroquois, Catawba, and the Cherokee, which are some of the strongest Native American tribes

These are fairly good answers. What were the "enclosure acts"? You need to explain. In the second question, keep in mind the natives knew the territory. The Europeans did not. And tribes WERE strong, not ARE.

Another reason early colonists needed to leave Britain was primogeniture:

Second, third, fourth sons often ended up with no land to farm back home, so went looking for a way to make a living.
And you are most welcome.
