Time to Leave America (even be it naked)?

Now, as to why the earliest colonists came to America, you had eight basic types:
1. religious non-conformists (Puritans, Pilgrims, Quakers, Congregationalists, Moravians, French Huguenots, British Catholics, Scotch Presbyterians)
2. plantation builders/owners (gentry and aristocrats with substantial investment capital, but few opportunities at home),
3. their servants and retainers,
4. wannabe-landowners,
5. fur traders & trappers
6. crown agents, government officials, garrison soldiers and sailors who didn't plan on staying but did,
7. clergymen to staff the churches and missionaries to the Indians
8. and convicts and fugitives.

They were not cowards, It took courage to go to the new world. Do your homework!
