What countries sent immigrants to america during the age of european settlement from 1600 to 1820? what were two reasons that motivated them to settle in america?

This article contains interesting facts, statistics and the history of English immigration to America. The history of English Immigration to America began in the 1600's when England established colonies on the east coast of North America. The colonists all belonged to the Anglo-Saxon race and shared the same ethnic origin, identity, language, heritage, culture, education, history and physical characteristics. Their new home was governed by England and they were bound by the same laws and allegiance to the British monarch. The land had been claimed by Britain and the first arrivals considered themselves to be settlers, rather than immigrants. The colonies were seen as an extension of the homeland, hence place names such as New England. As the first and the largest group of newcomers the English established the cultural pattern for America and were responsible for the basic American cultural features such as language and law which are still evident today.
