Many set out to avoided religious prosecution with the mindset, thinking the church of England was unfixable (Tindall, 2013) also there was other driving forces for settlement riches and land ownership (Tindall, 2013) Many of the settlers that set out for wealth or land seem more likely to exploit the indigenes people.
