Task 1
A1. Political Motivations for English Imperialism
England witnessed the success Spain and France were having once they began settling in the
Americas. Fearing that America would soon be dominated by their competitors, they went out looking
for gold, spices and more resources America contained, including better trading routes, in hopes they
could also increase their wealth and power (Norton, 2015).
A2. Social pressures contributing to English Colonization (Ch. 2 Sect. 1
& 2)
At the time England was facing great overpopulation that resulted in inflation, lower wages, high
rates of poverty and homelessness. Many English citizens thought it more beneficial to move to America
where there was more open land, successful farming, tobacco industry and the opportunity to receive 50
acres of land if one emigrated on their own dime. Furthermore, the religious transformation occurring in
England was a large reason that many emigrated as it was becoming more tense between differing
religions. Many Puritans, Separatists, Presbyterians, and Catholics fled to America to practice their
religion without fear of persecution (Norton, 2015).
