    i remember the 3 G's: gold, God, and glory

    they hoped to find gold

    they wanted to convert natives to Christianity

    they wanted glory

    maybe you could also say some people were bored and wanted some adventure

    some people came as indentured servants after the colonies had started, they would work for free for 7 years and then their employer would pay for their trip from england and after the 7 years they would give them a little land and basic necessities and they could work on their own

    wow us history was only last year for me and i already forgot other reasons, lol

    Because they wanted to be rich.
