RIGHT SIDE: Details
1. England pursued its interest in the New World after defeating Spanish Armada2. Believed there were large amounts of gold, silver, & exotic foods in new world.3. Began permanent settlements along the cost of new world – first colony in Virginia4. Some colonies begun by refugees from religious persecution. Others settled for economic gain5.
