WHAT CAUSES PEOPLE TO MOVE AND SETTLE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :)
People began to move and look to settle in the New Colonies. This was because of economic and environmental changes. There was cold climate in England and rough land which made it harder to plant crops. This made it more difficult to progress economically due to the lack of crops being processed. In the New Colonies it was easier to plant crops and discover new resources. The climate was warmer and the soil was more fertile. With all of the crops being grown in the New colonies people began to colonize. More and more were arriving with intent to get land and make money from the resources. All of the new resources like sugar, cotton, corn, tobacco, and rice brought slaves from Africa. Slaves worked for very little and were cheap labor. They knew how to grow certain things correctly and became a big factor in development. People move and settle because of environmental problems with climate, or adjustments. In the case for the New Colonies, the people move because of the economy, land, climate, and much more.
