They colonized north America to be free from religious and economic persecution. If you want a lot of information, you can just type that question into yahoo or google and you will get a ton of sites that go into debth about it. Hope this helps.

Resources. It was a business venture to gain ground in the competition with the Spanish in the race for wealth / control / domination. Remember all that gold the Spanish brought back? With more land and resources (namely gold) they could compete.
That's the short version.

Cotton, tobacco, indigo...in short money. That and the fact that the English couldn't stand to be around the English either.
