Can anyone help ?
The first instance of the great American tradition... voting with one's feet. WIM; the religious groups that were taking heat from the Crown split as soon as they had the opportunity and resources to do so. While Jamestown was first it, was a failed business venture (ill-founded and carried out).IMHO, the seeds of the westward movement... not happy, move west.PS Welcome to the forum!
Can anyone help ?
1. Religious Intolerance2. Economic Opportunity3. Upward Social Mobility4. A Chance To Erase Debts5. Adventure6. Competition With Other NationsThere are other reasons, but I'd say these six were the primary ones. If you need more details, you should give me something more specific to work with. 🙂
The 3G's; gold, God, and glory fueled the Age of Exploration. Gold to finance the various empires, souls to save (Catholic Reformantion… Spain and France always sent priests to save the natives as the various Protestants were tapping off dissatisfied Catholics right and left in Europe), looking good in the face of the other contestants.As for the English Donnie fleshed out my westward movement post very well.
