@Ugly_me

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

Its very simple. If you think about it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, for a, the gold rush was in the time of expantion. The settelers did not know about this gold. What does that say about A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the settelerd did not know before they came*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is C. But i'm not quite sure.

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

The English settlers came to america for one reason. And its for the gold. So that is the correct answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um no @ryanwhite499

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first reason was for religious freedom, something which was rare back in England as all people had to belong to the Church of England. Secondly, the English decided to move to America for the same reasons as the Spanish conquistadors and the French, which was the desire for gold, wealth and other riches. Lastly, the desire for land ownership was greatly desired.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they came to have reedom of religion and stuff.

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

C sounds some what like it. But when the- Oh yea it is c. I did not see that option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You didn't learn this in elementary school?

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Yep, good job @Ugly_me ! :D

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

Back where the English settlers stayed it didn't give them enough shelter or food. So They came to america to get the wealth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

Welcome. Make sure you give me a medal and fan me

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

@Shredder477 no I did not. Thank you through

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

@ryanwhite499 I believe you are incorrect, thank you for your input though! :D

OpenStudy (ryanwhite499):

What do you mean I'm incorrect @EclipsedStar

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

The settlers came not knowing there was any gold...they only started their lust for riches after the Indians told them about it XD

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Then that's what started the Native's downfall....the wars that followed to obtain the gold. :)

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

The spaniards had horses, which scared the juices out of the natives.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Pardon my weird vocabulary XD
