Joey Burchard AP US History  Since the finding of America, the Spanish have been succeeding in many ways possible. The Spanish have gained power, wealth, and land from the findings of their sailors. They have been able to set up towns and villages in the New World now known as America. This success allows England to know that they can do it also. They will be able to travel across the massive Atlantic Ocean and set up English towns and cities there. This does not show rival ship, yet a chance to grow and expand a very desperate country. England was suffering through a severe depression for around a century of horrible economic times for the wool industry. These people were crowding up the entire country of England. These farmers were hungry enough that they were eating the flesh of dogs and horses. They also stole a sheep and ate the meat off the leg raw. This shows the need for expansion and chance to change. This is why England had to expand to America. They knew that they would die whether in America or in England. This is why they tried to live through the tough times in America. Many people went to try to make a better living in these times. They were able to try to help themselves and others. This could make the beggars feel like they are needed. Many people have also heard about the raw materials that were in America. The Spanish were lucky when they found all that gold from the Aztec civilization. The English population then thought that they would also find gold to help them with the economic downfall. England needed someplace to put all of their unfortunate people that did not have well-off lives. They felt like these people would enjoy having another chance to begin their lives. England went to search America for raw materials that would bring in money for these unfortunate people. They would be able to make a whole new living in honor of their country. They would be paid to explore and search for new materials such as gold, tobacco, and corn. This is the reason that England was forced to search out the New World. They were able to continue their reign of power in another country.
