What motives drove people who migrated from Europe to newly discovered America?

Traders and industrialists from European countries were mainly sent to America. They were driven by the desire to open new territories for the location of production. There was not enough land in Europe to locate businesses, and taxes were too high for many entrepreneurs. American lands have opened up the opportunity for producers to draw on natural and human resources. In factories, they exploited slaves and produced many goods. The colonialists left the countries of the old world to improve their own productivity.
