State two reasons that prompted many Europeans to migrate to the New World during the New Age.

The first reason was religious, for example, Puritans left England, and Huguenots left France. The second is socio-economic. That is, overpopulation in Europe and a huge amount of vacant land and a mild climate on the territory of the east coast of the United States. You can also recall the massive migration of the Irish to America after the famine of the 1840s.
