The United States is a nation of immigrants.

The first significant group to arrive from England were religious separatists who wanted to escape religious persecution.

Over the past 400 years, immigrants have had different reasons to come to America. Some came to escape war, others came for religious freedom, and some just wanted an opportunity to own land or work towards escaping poverty.
