Most people who came to the British colonies in the 1600s were English. Others came from The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, France, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. By 1690, 250,000 people lived in the New World. By 1790, there were 2.5 million people. People came for different reasons. Some left their homes to escape war. Others sought political or religious freedom. Some had to work as servants to pay back the cost of their trip before gaining their freedom. Some, like black Africans, arrived as slaves. In time, the 13 colonies developed within three distinct regions. rea·son / ˈri:zn̩ / noun plural rea·sons : a statement or fact that explains why something is the way it is, why someone does, thinks, or says something, or why someone behaves a certain way • I can’t give you the report for the simple reason that it isn’t finished yet. seek / ˈsi:k / verb seeks; sought / ˈsɑ:t / seek·ing : to search for (someone or something) : to try to find (someone or something) • He is seeking employment.
