Almost any natural event depending on a large number of variables has peaks and valleys, which are seen as waves. Waves could be caused by a couple of bad harvests, a war, religious persecutions, or a good old fashioned power struggle. You might have a wave of Puritans fleeing persecution, then when they come to power, you get a wave of cavaliers fleeing them, then when they fall from power, yet another wave.

and materials to survive was key. No real way to "go it alone"
in the new world.
